Not that i know of - thats what im concerned about - no one else has mentioned it tho and surely they should know that being the partners- mentioned to the pharmacy nurse about gettin bayer rep in but she didnt seem keen - their loss i thought so will do my own damn research lol!

I can go one better than that for you, contact your Bayer rep and arrange for Joy Howell VN to visit your practice for a day, she came to ours last year and spent the ay with us educating about Bayer products plus lots more. She is a definite must-have!!

Also with lungworm now finding its place - our partners are planning on using program plus for fleas and worms for dogs and milbemax and program/profendor for fleas.

Any thoughts?

We have healthcare plans in place at work and find they work really well. Owners can choose what they want to include, eg boosters, food, grooming etc and we work the cost out over 12 months, not had any problems with the scheme so far.

Hi ours is open to everyone - we have a company that has done it all for us - im trying to think of the name - our scheme is called the- complete care plan- but not sure if thats the name of the company!Think one of the reasons is to have access to direct debit as at the moment clients who cant afford a big bill we offer a standing order but this isnt working as clients can choose how much and can cancel standing orders which leaves us out of pocket - with direct debit they cant cancel it.With this scheme they also have to sign paperwork which then means if we do need to take legal action its all signed and terms and conditions.

I think we are planning on offering 10% discount on routine op.I think it will go well just a few wee things that may need tweaked.

We don't do this but our other hospital does and think it works well for them. I'm not 100% sure but think they get a discount on ops with the package.

Ahhhh I get you now, kinda like a healthcare plan. I worked in a place who done these, they worked very well, and every healthcare member got all of the above, and a christmas card each year, to make them feel special.They had a huge uptake on them.They took payments via direct debit, I think it was an initial payment then 4 monthly instalements.

Yea - clients pay a set amount per month say ten pounds and includes boosters, flea worm treatment and discounts on food,ops etc- they also get check up every 6m for health check and this is when they get flea and worm treatment.

this includes dogs cats and bunnies
