At Village Vet, we are pleased to offer a comprehensive healthcare plan via the convenience of a low monthly direct debit, spreading the cost of essential preventive care over 12 months. Our new and improved Pet Health for Life Plan is a great way to cut the cost of routine care which keeps your cat in the best possible health and helps them lead happier lives.
Getting your cat or kitten microchipped is now a legal requirement. The Government’s announcement on 13 March 2023 means that all pet cats in England must be microchipped by 10 June 2024.
Whilst microchipping your cat isn’t compulsory at the moment this chip helps reunite lost animals with their owners and is included in the Pet Health For Life Plan.
The Pet Health for Life plan is great value for money.Vaccination for flea prevention, worming, microchipping, and health checks are included in this comprehensive plan.

Pet Health for Life is not a pet insurance policy.
The product is a way to spread the cost of routine preventative pet care at the recommended annual doses, however, it does not cover the costs of veterinary care for unexpected illness or injury to your pet. We recommend taking out separate pet insurance for this. All treatment is subject to clinical assessment and need.

**Nail clipping and anal gland expression will be provided when appropriate and as part of a wider appointment.
How do I sign up to a plan?
Can I get a plan for my puppy or kitten?
Yes, the plan is available for puppies and kittens. If you are signing up online, please sign your kitten up to the “cat plan” or your puppy up to their expected adult weight dog plan. i.e. if you have a large breed puppy expected to reach over 25kg as an adult, sign them up to a “large dog plan”.
If your puppy doesn’t grow as expected, the plan can be adjusted.
Does the plan cover the healthcare for multiple pets?
Is the plan also insurance?
Can I pay annually instead of monthly?
Can I use all the benefits on the day I join?
Yes, some benefits can be collected on the day of joining, however there is a limit to what can be given as outlined in the Terms Of Service.
Please also be aware that the flea and worm products we provide on the plan are prescription only medications and as such are subject to veterinary approval. Your pet may require a check over with the vet before the product can be dispensed and veterinary appointments are subject to availability at the time of sign up.
Flea and worming treatments will be dispensed at regular intervals throughout the year and a maximum of 3 months’ treatment can be dispensed at any one time. This allows us to monitor your pet’s health and weight.
How will the direct debit appear in my bank statement?
We work with our technology partner, My Pet Portal (MPP), to administer the Direct Debit. Our practice is part of Linnaeus Veterinary Limited and your banking notification at the plan set up may display as such. Each transaction will show as “LinVet – Village Vet”.
Can I change the date my direct debit is collected?
Depending on the day you signed up to the first payment will be collected on either the 1st or 15th of the month. All subsequent payments are collected on 1st of the month. We cannot currently facilitate payments on different days in the month.
I haven’t collected all the products and/or services that I’m entitled to for my pet this year, can it be carried over until next year?
The Pet Health for Life plan is designed to provide the preventative healthcare your pet requires for the year. This is an annual subscription model and as such we cannot facilitate carrying over products to the following year.
We want to provide the best care for you and your pet and we have a reminder system available to contact you when your pet is due treatment. If you are not receiving this communication, please speak to our team.
I am relocating. Can I continue my plan at a different practice?
No, unfortunately it is not currently possible to transfer your plan to another practice.
If my pet becomes ill or is injured, will this be covered by the plan?
The Pet Health for Life plan is designed to provide the preventative healthcare your pet requires for the year. The plan does include two veterinary consults and therefore the cost of the vet seeing and assessing your pet may be covered with the plan. However, any treatment required for illness or injury is not included in the plan and will be an additional charge.
The plan is not an insurance policy and should not be used as a replacement or alternative to pet insurance. We recommend that you take out pet insurance separately to cover for such occurrences. Please speak to the practice for more information.
I have a complaint/query. Who should I contact?
