The Cost of Living Crisis For Pet Owners: How We Can Help.   

Date: 19 Dec 2022
By: admin

Pets are happiness. Not only do they bring us joy and companionship, they’re also bona fide family members. What else can you ask for?  

Like all great things however, owning pets can have its drawbacks. Pets need a lot of care, and maintaining your pet’s healthy lifestyle can be expensive. There are several ways to ensure that your pet is healthy and happy when your budget is low.  

Even throughout Brexit, COVID and the cost-of-living crisis, we continue to provide amazing service with low prices. All the while, we are maintaining an award-winning level of care.  

We strive to offer great care at great prices, and have a multitude of offers to help you, the pet owner, save money during what can only be described as a challenging time. Read on to discover the great ways you can save.  

 

Great Care at Great Prices

Even throughout Brexit, COVID and the cost-of-living crisis, we continue to provide amazing service with low prices. All the while, we are maintaining an award-winning level of care.  

We strive to offer great care at great prices, and have a multitude of offers to help you, the pet owner, save money during what can only be described as a challenging time.  

0% Finance

We understand that taking care of pets when they are injured or ill can be daunting, and sometimes financially challenging. Finance is a great way to spread the cost of your veterinary care. For your peace of mind, we’ve teamed up with Deko whose technology lets you apply for and complete a loan application quickly, easily and informatively. 

Our 0% finance can be used to help you manage payment of larger bills such as: 

  • Dental procedures 
  • Orthopaedic surgeries 
  • Laparoscopic surgeries 
  • Diagnostics – X-rays, heart scanning

Save Money on Emergency Care

Emergency out of hours veterinary bills can be more costly than you might expect. However, many vets are open seven days a week at standard rates and late evening opening is also quite common. Also, many vets offer their own out of hours service.  

For those moments when your precious pet needs an emergency vet, our 24Hour Vetcare service is here for you 7 days a week, 365 days per year. 

At Streatham Hill Veterinary Surgery we have extended our opening hours and our experienced vets are ready and waiting to provide vet care at our Animal Hospital. 

Around-the-clock emergency vet care for South London pets. We are the best vets at the best prices! 

Our emergency consultation fee is only £99 – the cheapest in London!  

If your pet needs urgent help outside of our normal opening hours please call  020 8674 3525.   

 

Pet Insurance

Pet insurance is a paramount for every pet owner! On these unfortunate occasions where an animals life needs saving, huge vet bills can be common.  If your pet is unwell or needs surgery, the best way to pay is to claim on a pet insurance policy! For a small monthly expense, the savings across your pet’s life are almost certainly going to be significant. There are many pet insurance companies offering different levels of cover to satisfy all budgets and needs. Compare prices and services and choose the option that is right for you and your pet. If you consider that you may have a dog for around 12-14 years or a cat for up to 20 years, there are likely to be a multitude of times that pet insurance will save money! 

 We can provide five weeks of pet insurance for first-time clients free. All you need to do is bring your pet in to see one of our vets for a free nose to tail health check and they will be able to set up your insurance. Need help or advice? Call us on 020 8674 3525 

  

Corporate vs Independent Vets

Often corporate groups rely on making their profits by inflating prices. It is not always immediately evident that a corporate group owns a veterinary surgery, so it is best to shop around. Often, independent surgeries owned by vets have the care for your pet as their primary focus, and their prices can be more reasonable. We are one of the largest independent veterinary practices in the UK.

Keep Your Pet Healthy

There are plenty of ways to ensure your pet stays healthy throughout their life. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Good preventative care can save you the cost of expensive dental treatment or lifelong diabetes treatment.  

  • Keep your pet up to date with vaccinations — not only will they be protected from disease, but a vet will thoroughly check them over! 
  • Ensure you apply their flea and worming treatments at the recommended times. These preventative treatments keep harmful, potentially fatal, diseases and illness at bay. 
  • Gum disease is one of the most common health conditions among adult pets. Take care of their teeth! Brushing your pet’s teeth regularly with a pet toothpaste will result in healthier teeth and a lot less money spent on dental treatments. 
  • Make sure you feed them a good quality, vet recommended food! Low-quality food can sometimes lead to urinary problems, obesity and arthritis, so you will end up spending more at the vets helping them get better.
  •  

Preventative care may require a little more effort, but it pays off as you will have fewer big vet bills and a happier friend.
