Note to Editors:
PVG's services to third party veterinary practices, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Vet Alliance Limited ("PVA"),
include the administration and support of a preventative healthcare
programme for pets branded "Premier Pet Care Plan" ("PPCP"); and
the operation of a buying group ("Premier Buying Group") which
offers enhanced discounts to member practices on pharmaceutical and
consumable spending. In the US, PPCP is marketed through the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Vet Alliance (US)
Limited.
PPCP is a structured, preventative healthcare programme for
cats, dogs and rabbits and is available only through veterinary
practices. The programme is seen as a way of providing gold
standard care for pets at an affordable price for the client, by
way of fixed monthly payments.
PPCP uses a clinical approach to prevention, as this is the most
effective method of ensuring illnesses are
diagnosed more quickly and not given a chance to advance. What
truly sets PPCP apart is its unique approach of offering an
end-to-end solution and support to the practice, which has been
proven to work extremely well. PVA works alongside practices to
create a tailor-made, cost-effective service for clients, one that
delivers excellent care to their patients and significantly
improves practice performance.
The Premier Buying Group, is now the UK's largest veterinary
buying group without group interests in veterinary practices or
veterinary wholesalers offering its members the best discounts
across the industry on pharmaceutical and consumable spend.
