Frequently Asked Questions

How do I receive my products?2023-01-30T18:34:31+10:30

Monthly parasite control products (flea control, intestinal wormers and heartworm prevention if included in your plan) will be posted to you, timed to arrive on the working day before your pet is due for treatment each month. For injections (annual vaccination and heartworm prevention injection) you will need to visit the hospital with your pet. We will send you a reminder when these are due.

How often can I visit the veterinarian at no charge?2023-01-30T18:38:14+10:30

Unlimited standard consultations are included in our Classic plans so if you choose this option, you can visit as many times as you like throughout the year. If you feel your pet is unwell or have any questions about their health, you can simply phone one of our clinics for an appointment.

*Does not include specialist consultations or ancillary services. Does not include after hours or home visits or consultations on Sundays or Public Holidays. Any medication, pathology testing or procedures will incur a charge. Nail clipping and Anal Gland expression are also excluded (a small charge will apply for these.)

After hours and emergency consultations are not included in the Total Wellness Plan. Unlimited consultations only apply to standard consultations during our normal open hours. As an AdelaideVet client, your pets full medical records and contact details are available at all AdelaideVet clinics, so if you have an emergency or after-hours need for your pet we can quickly and easily access their medical file to assist in optimal treatment at our Trinity Gardens practice. Find out more about pet emergencies.

I’m interested and want to join, what next?2023-04-12T18:52:47+09:30

Visit one of our hospitals and our team will assist you to complete an enrolment form. You will then receive any treatments that are currently required and the full program will be outlined. Alternatively, you can call one of our hospitals and we can set up your pet’s Total Wellness Plan membership over the phone. Please note you will need to advise your dog’s weight if you have not visited our hospitals previously.

Why does the price vary for dogs of different sizes or weight?2023-01-30T20:54:24+10:30

Vaccinations and parasite control products used in the Total Wellness Plan are tailored to suit your dog’s size. The plan prices are a reflection of the products required by your pet.

Is the Total Wellness Plan the same as pet insurance?2023-01-30T20:57:14+10:30

No. The Total Wellness Plan is not a replacement for pet insurance. Rather this plan will provide your pet with all they need to stay healthy, whilst pet insurance will cover them for any accidents or illnesses that may affect them. Pet insurance is still recommended.
