Hi, my vet has made me aware they do a monthly direct debit pet plan, around £15-17 per month depending on his size. Just wondering if people usually go for these things or just buy things when needed - vaccinnes, work\flea treatment etc. I want to do the best for my dog but if its prudent to do everything as and when then I will go down that route. Surely its gonna cost less than £180 per year of routine vets stuff??
Yeah that's what I was leaning towards TBH. Thanks. I don't really see much more benefit by using a vet plan
We have a vet plan and have saved more than we have paid so far. This is mainly because they provide discount on certain things and with Luna have an issue with her stomach when she was 5 months we had to buy food from the vet. But I am looking to consider putting the money aside and paying it myself but so far it has been invaluable. She does need her nails clipped and I wouldn't know where to start with this.
Personally, I don't use most of the things offered in these plans anyway - because in my eyes they result in over-treating dogs with preventatives and vaccines. Given that I only give puppy vaccines and 1st year booster, and that I get veterinary wormer and prescription-strength tick collars cheaply from online pet pharmacies and don't treat for fleas unless I see them... it just isn't very cost-effective at all for me...
