Signing up and using your pet health plan

I have a question about what’s included in my Healthy Pet Club membership

If you have a question about any of the products or benefits included in your plan, please contact your veterinary practice where you have your Healthy Pet Club membership and the team will be able to help.

Which pets can join The Healthy Pet Club?

Cats, dogs and rabbits can join.

Can I get a plan for my puppy or kitten?

Yes, we have a pet health care plan for puppies and kittens. Find your local veterinary practice and register online to get started.

Does the plan cover me for multiple pets?

You can get memberships for all your pets and we even offer a multi pet discount (£1 discount per additional pet, per month). Treatments and benefits will only apply to the pet named on each plan.

Will I get a reminder to use my benefits?

Almost all of our participating veterinary practices offer a free text and email reminder service. Please enquire with your practice for more information.

Can I use all the benefits as soon as I join?

Your pet will need to be checked by a vet, who will then advise which benefits/treatments to use at the time of consultation. The flea and worming treatments will be dispensed throughout the year (a maximum of 3 months’ worth of treatment will be given at any one time).

Your pet may start the vaccination course, be microchipped and receive their first flea and worming treatment during their initial visit. There's also a range of other benefits, such as discounts on food, a number of veterinary services and medications that you can use all year round as many times as you wish. We also offer a ‘fixed price dental’ benefit, which can save you money. Your practice will be able to discuss this with you.

Is The Healthy Pet Club pet insurance?

The Healthy Pet Club covers preventative health care treatment. It is not pet insurance and will not cover treatment for accidents and/or illnesses. To cover accident or illness treatment for your pet, we recommend that you take out insurance.

Cancellations, Complaints & Reinstatements

How do I cancel the plan and will there be a cancellation fee?

We’re sorry that you are thinking about cancelling your Healthy Pet Club membership. We know you joined The Healthy Pet Club to provide the best care for your pet, whilst saving money and spreading the costs of routine preventative health care.

You can cancel at any time, but if you decide to cancel part-way through a plan year, we’ll calculate what you’ve already paid and the cost of the treatments you’ve received so far. If you have used more benefits than the cost of your membership so far, you’ll need to pay the difference or settle the cost of the remainder of your plan year.

If you’d like to go ahead with cancellation, please contact the veterinary practice where your plan is held or contact The Healthy Pet Club Support Team by email on hpc@cvsvets.com.

I have a complaint/query. Who should I contact?

If you have queries about your Healthy Pet Club plan, or if you'd like to make a complaint, contact the vet practice your plan is with. If your complaint relates to the Direct Debit on your plan, please contact hpc@cvsvets.com.

What if I have missed a payment or I have a problem with my Direct Debit?

If you have missed a Direct Debit, the payment will be re-attempted after 14 days of the failed attempt. After two failed re-attempted payments, your plan will be cancelled.

If your membership has been cancelled due to failed payments, please contact your veterinary practice directly.

How can I reinstate my membership?

If you would like to reinstate an existing membership that has been cancelled, please contact the support team on 01379 671800.

Please note, if you have missed any Direct Debit payments, you will need to make payment for these upon reinstating your plan.
