Petcare SavingsWe understand that sometimes those who work in a practice often need to put in long hours. This means arranging care for your four-legged companions. VetPerks has teamed up with leading national canine care provider Tailster, so you can benefit from discounted dog daycare and walking plans.

CPD DiscountsNo matter what point you are at in your career, there’s always more to discover and new practices to learn. Vet Perks offers discounts across a wide range of CPD courses through our partners to ensure that you meet your required CPD hours and can offer the best care to your patients for years to come.

What are salary exchange schemes?Salary exchange schemes are when you agree to exchange part of your salary in return for extra benefits from your employer. This lowers your overall pay, meaning you pay less tax and National Insurance, whilst you still get the value from other non-cash benefits.
