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").  In the US, where veterinary practices are known as veterinary hospitals, 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/hospitals. 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/hospital, which has been proven to work extremely well. PVA works alongside practices/hospitals to create a tailor-made, cost-effective service for clients, one that delivers excellent care to their patients and significantly improves practice/hospital performance.
