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
program for pets branded "Premier Pet Care Plan" ("PPCP"); and the
operation of a buying group (the "PVA Buying Group") in the UK and
Ireland, which offers enhanced discounts to member practices on
pharmaceutical and consumable spending. PPCP is branded as
"Huisdieren Zorg Plan" ("HZP") in the Netherlands and, in the US,
PPCP is marketed through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Premier Vet Alliance (US) Limited.
PPCP is a structured, preventative healthcare program for cats,
dogs and rabbits and is available only through veterinary
practices. The program 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 PVA Buying Group, is now the UK's largest veterinary buying
group without group interests in veterinary practices or veterinary
wholesalers offering its members some of the best discounts across
the industry on pharmaceutical and consumable spend.
