You naturally want the best for your pet, especially when it comes to health care. But with no NHS for animals, budgeting for vets fees, even for a healthy animal, can sometimes be a problem.

Now, at last, there is a new way to spread the cost of your pet's veterinary treatment. Available only from Caerphilly Vets, Scallywags Vet Plan is a complete health care plan for your pet, covering the regular veterinary treatment essential to maintain your pet in the best of health.

Just look what's included:

• Identichip fitting and registration
• ANNUAL VACCINATION including kennel cough for dogs
• All Flea and worming treatments
• Laboratory screening annually after 7 years of age
• Annual 50% discount on dental procedures
• 10% loyalty discount on all other procedures and drugs.
• 6 monthly health check with a veterinary surgeon

Preventative Treatment Programme

All dogs and cats need regular preventative treatment to ensure a long and healthy life, therefore, all of our schemes include:

• Full annual vaccination booster to maintain protection against the major infectious diseases, including feline leukemia for cats and kennel cough for dogs. 
• Health check every six months to monitor general health and condition and to identify any developing problems early.
• Regular worming, with reminders to keep intestinal parasites at bay.
• Full year's flea treatment, with reminders to protect your pet against the misery of fleas and the skin diseases they can cause.
• laboratory screening for senior pets once yearly including blood and urine tests. It is always important to discover any early indications of kidney or liver disease or problems such as diabetes. Also any pets on long term medication can benefit fron having a laboratory health screen.
• Any dental treatments your pet requires will benefit from a 50% discount once a year
• Consultations and drugs prescribed will be discounted by a full 10% at each visit - subject to terms and conditions.

We will advise you on the details of the preventative programme and let you know when treatment is due. All you have to do is remember to bring your pet to the surgery.

Plus

For Kittens and Puppies we include more frequent health checks to ensure the best possible start in life.

Microchipping to safeguard your pet if he is lost or stolen (see below)

Microchip

Many pet insurance schemes provide compensation to owners if their pet is lost. We prefer a more positive approach. All pets registered under the Scallywags Vet Plan scheme are fitted with a microchip. This is a tiny device, painlessly implanted under the skin, which can be "read" by vets, animal charities and local authorities. Should your pet ever stray or be lost, it can be identified and returned without delay.

Savings

With the elements of this programme, purchased separately, costing up to £290 you can make big savings with Scallywags Vet Plan. And you can make use of your membership discounts to make even more savings.
