How do I receive my products?
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.
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.

Can I use different products to those selected in the Wellness Plan by Vetwest?
We have selected our Wellness Plan products with your pet's optimum health care in mind. Our selection enables us to provide the best healthcare possible at the most affordable price for you, therefore we are not able to substitute a different product.
My pet is a puppy or kitten. Does the Total Wellness Plan cover for their initial vaccinations?
The Total Wellness Plan includes one vaccination per year. Any additional puppy and kitten booster vaccinations are not included.
Can I use my Total Wellness Plan at any Vetwest Animal Hospital?
Your Total Wellness Plan can be used at any Vetwest Animal Hospital in Western Australia. This also means if your usual Vetwest Animal Hospital is closed at any time such as Sundays and after hours you can visit our other hospitals who have extended hours.

Can I cancel my plan?
In the unfortunate event of a pet’s death, the Total Wellness Plan will be cancelled and payments stopped once Vetwest Animal Hospitals is notified. Plans purchased upfront will be eligible for an adjustment credit based on the remainder of the plan only.
In the event of a plan being cancelled for any reasons other than a pet passing, monies outstanding on the remainder of the plan (12 months) are payable by the client, regardless of use.
Is Simparica a safe product?
Simparica is an FDA and APVMA-approved flea and tick control product that is recommended for monthly use and is considered safe to use in dogs. More than 200 million doses have been distributed globally, protecting pets all over the world.
The active ingredient Sarolaner is a member of the isoxazoline class, which is the same class of medication used in other flea control products such as NexGard and Bravecto. All isoxazoline medications control fleas and other parasites through effects on the parasite’s nervous system. Side effects to the isoxazoline family of parasiticides are rare and are most likely to include vomiting, diarrhoea and lethargy. On very rare occasions, seizures have been observed. Most reactions to the isooxazoline class are self-limiting and of short duration. Vetwest uses and recommends isooxazoline products for flea control because we believe they are safe and effective and provide a significant health benefit to our patients. If you have any concerns, please contact us or contact the product support number provided by the manufacturer on the packaging.
