Hi Emma

Our company works with many practices that run pet health schemes and they can be as flexible as you need them to be to suit your current annual health recommendations. Whilst it might say "Annual Vaccination" in the literature that promotes your plan it doesnt state that this is a DHPPiL each year. It all comes down to the plan pricing - most practices now charge a set booster fee each year rather than an alternate year price so the monthly direct debit can reflect the three year alternating regime that a practice follows. As for products to include - you can allow for flexibility in the same way. Many practice price the plan for the cost of the products they are using, others for the "worst case scenario". It all depends on how it has been set up.Of course, some practices only use one fixed product based on their protocols, so not ever practice will offer flexibility within the plan but perhaps will offer an alternative with a discount on it.
