Shall I join my vets healthy pet club?

Hey guys,

I'm going to be taking my pup for his first vet check up and vaccinations. I checked on the vets website and they are running a £10.50 a month healthy pet club where for 1 year they spread the cost for you're dog and include most services like vaccinations, fleeing and worming.

My question is that should I fork out £10.50 a month for 1 year and join this plan or pay for his vaccination (£48 for 3) fleeing, worming and consultations all seprately? I have no idea how much a gsd vet bills for the first year would come up...

Here's the plan: http://www.parkvetgroup.com/pdfs/PVG..._Dogs&Cats.pdf

Thanks peeps!

I wouldn't either but if you think the monthly fee is more manageable than a lump sum each time then it's whatever suits your purse xxx

that might work out rather expensive if you weigh up the cost of the individual things, but it's what suits you that counts

personally i wouldnt bother. id just buy his wormers and flea treatment as and when needed. for me it wouldnt work out cheaper. i can take him and get him weighed no charge and i only deflea if needed.. only ever done joe and olive once as pups and never had fleas. i just crush garlic into their meals and brush it on their coats now and again..

I personally wouldn't, I'd rather pay as I go so to speak but if it helps you spread the cost then it might be worth it for you.

Thanks for the replies guys, as some have stated it works out cheaper if I do pay as you go, think I will stick to that.

I also agree that £126 for a year is quite expensive,..I would take the advice already given

I too would not bother, I keep a seperate account and put any spare cash in this helps cover vet bills x
