Pet Healthcare Plan

Spreading the cost of routine healthcare

Preventative Pet Health Plans (PHP)

Mercer and Hughes Pet Health Plans, or PHPs, help you spread the cost of keeping your pet well and healthy. This is all about preventative pet healthcare, helping to keep your pet fitter and healthier (which will hopefully mean fewer trips to the vets!).

Pay monthly and save on average £99.42/year on your pet’s routine vet care, plus save 10% off all food and pet accessory purchases made in our vet surgeries (average saving worked out across all plans and correct at the time of writing).

Pet Health Plans are not pet insurance – we believe that prevention is better than cure rather than waiting until a pet is ill to put things right.

After holding our prices for 4 years, there will be some necessary price increases for all new joiners and renewals from April 2022.

The average savings still equate to £99.79 a year, based on our current pricing (February 2022).

Therefore, our PHP plans still represent fantastic value for money when compared to PAYG.

Puppies

For all puppies, please select a DOG PHP Plan based on their expected adult weight. This will cover their second vaccination and a full year’s worth of flea and worming treatments as detailed.

In most cases puppies should already come microchipped (as it’s required by law) and possibly with a first vaccination from the breeder.

If your puppy requires a full vaccination course, with or without a microchip, you will be entitled to a 25% discount off the cost of a full primary vaccination course and microchip on any dog plan.

Additional Discounts

  • 25% off vaccine restart
  • Reduced spay and neutering costs
  • 10% off dental procedures
  • 10% off all pet shop purchases in store, including food
    toys and accessories
