Most of what a healthy pet needs in a year is known in January. A plan is simply that year agreed up front, booked in, and paid for as one thing instead of eleven separate decisions you have to make while worrying.
Routine care for a well pet, agreed for twelve months
Booked in advance, so the visits actually happen
One predictable figure instead of eleven surprises
Everything in it happens in this building, by the vets you already meet
What a plan is not
It is not insurance, and it will not behave like insurance
It does not cover illness, accidents or surgery
It does not pay out. It buys named things, listed below
It is not a discount card for everything else we do
Who it suits
Owners who would rather not decide about care under pressure
A first puppy or kitten, where the schedule is relentless
A pet past seven, where catching things early is the whole game
Anyone who has ever missed a booster and only noticed at travel time
Three years, three different jobs
Pick the year your pet is actually in
Seven is where we draw the senior line for dogs and cats, which is where most vets in this country draw it. A giant breed is old earlier and a small terrier later, so if your pet is near the line we will tell you which year fits rather than which year is tidier.
Puppies and kittens, up to twelve months
The First Year
The busiest year a pet ever has, and the one most often done piecemeal. This is the whole course in one go, including the three pieces of UAE paperwork that catch people out.
The quiet years, which is exactly why they get skipped. One real examination a year finds the things that are cheap to fix now and expensive to fix later.
Almost no clinic in this country publishes a senior plan, which is strange, because this is the age where a plan earns its keep. Twice-yearly bloods read against last year’s are how kidney disease gets caught while it is still manageable.
The adult year, laid out. The first year is denser at the start and the senior year doubles up at month seven, but the shape is this: we book it, and we chase you.
Day oneEnrol, full examination, baseline bloods taken and filed
Week oneBoosters brought up to date, worming given, parasite cover started
Month 4Worming. A message from us, not a reminder you have to remember
Month 6Dental check and the nurse appointment — nails, ears, weight
Month 7Worming. Second examination and second blood panel on the senior year
Month 10Worming. Anything we flagged in month six gets looked at again
Month 12Renewal examination. Everything compared against day one, in writing
EVERY PACKAGE WE RUN
Filter down to the ones that apply to your pet
Three plans cover the whole year. These are the single jobs — a dental, a groom, a flight, a spay — priced as one package instead of a list of line items. Nothing here is a discount scheme; it is the same work, quoted as a whole so you can see the end of it before you start.

The whole first-year course in one booking, including the paperwork.
Species, age, breed and whether anything is already going on. Two minutes on WhatsApp is usually enough.
02
We say which year fits
And if none of them does — a pet already on long-term medication, say — we will tell you a plan is the wrong tool and why.
03
A quote for that pet
Not a price list. A plan for a Great Dane is not a plan for a kitten, and pretending otherwise is how owners end up paying for cover they cannot use.
04
Twelve months from the day you start
Not from January. Everything in the list gets booked as we go, and we chase you rather than the other way round.
Questions owners ask
Is this pet insurance?
No, and it is worth being blunt about it. Insurance pays out when something goes wrong. A plan buys a named list of routine things for a well pet. They solve different problems, and plenty of owners here sensibly hold both.
What happens if my pet gets ill during the plan year?
You bring them in and we treat them, exactly as we would without a plan. That visit is a consultation and is quoted on its own. Holding a plan never changes how quickly we see a sick animal.
My pet is already six and has never been on a plan. Is it too late?
No. We would start with the adult year and take a full blood panel early, so that when the senior year begins there is something real to compare against. Starting a senior plan with no baseline is the one thing that genuinely does lose you a year.
Do you do plans for birds?
Birds are not on a vaccination schedule the way dogs and cats are, so a bird plan would be a different shape — annual examination, weight tracking, diet and husbandry review, parasite screening. Ask us and we will build one for your species rather than sell you a dog plan with the dog parts crossed out.
Tell us the pet, and we will tell you the year
No price list, because a plan for a nine-year-old Labrador and a plan for a kitten are not the same thing. Send us the age and the breed and we will come back with what the year actually looks like.
