CUT COSTS
NOT PROFITS

For years, your independent veterinary practice may have been forced to overpay for essential supplies from a buying group. You see, members of these groups have very little control over the prices they pay for the products they need. What does this actually mean for your clients, your patients, and you as the owner?

FOOD SUPPLIES

It’s not simply the medicine that can be expensive, it’s also the food you buy in as well. Meaning that you either:

  • Overpay for essential food supplies OR Opt for a cheaper alternative that may not be as nutritive.
  • So either your margins suffer or your patients do.
  • Either way, your veterinary practice is on the losing end of the deal.

PRESCRIPTION

Rising costs have made access to essential medicines harder. But of course, you want to provide the highest level of care for your clients, meaning you must access them nonetheless. Leading, almost invariably, to a squeeze on your margins.

SERVICES

With the buying power that many large corporations have, it often means that getting hold of essential supplies can be a challenge for independent vets.
This can, on occasion, mean that you’re forced to “take what you can get”, as opposed to finding the medicine and food supplies that are the absolute best fit for your patients.

WHO THE VIP GROUP HELPS

1. INDEPENDENT VETERINARY PRACTICES

Each independent veterinary practice differs slightly, and it’s these unique qualities that make your practice so special. Yet, so often we are treated as one and the same by the corporations and buying groups supplying our medicine. Leaving us with buying opportunities where we often must take what we can get, rather than what we need.

2. MANUFACTURERS

Manufacturers can see that if they don’t support independent practices, it will leave them with just a few very large clients. Clients that are able to call the shots, which will have a negative impact on the manufacturer’s business. Therefore, they are massively supportive of what we are doing. In turn, if we support these key manufacturers, we will protect the future of the independents and the bespoke personal services they provide.

3. ALLIED INDUSTRIES & KEY SUPPLIERS

We will continue to foster the relationships we have already built with a whole range of suppliers, from pharmaceuticals manufacturers, to equipment, consumables, surgical instruments & implants, disinfection & cleaning, CPD & training providers & even finance, as we believe that business is about people & relationships it’s also for the long term for us, for you & for those who work with us.

Our promise to you

At the Veterinary Independent Purchasing Group (VIP Group), we aim to revolutionise the way independent veterinary practices pay for their medicine. By focusing on the priorities of the individual veterinary practice, rather than the priorities of large corporations, we intend to make essential supplies far more accessible, more affordable and as hassle free as possible. In turn we believe this will unlock hidden profits in your business, giving you an avenue to grow your practice more effectively.

HOW WILL THE VIP
GROUP HELP YOU?

INCREASED PROFITS

As the owner of an independent vet practice, you may often find you have to resort to “loss leading” on your prescriptions, or simply reducing your margins in order to pay for the supplies you need. However, we don’t think that business growth should come at the cost of providing essential services. By joining the VIP group you’ll gain access to supplies at far more accessible prices meaning you’ll be able to turn a fair profit on them.

INCREASED CASHFLOW

The additional rebates available through our co-operative go straight onto your bottom line, meaning YOU can choose how to best utilise the increased available cash- whether that be expanding your team, buying that new piece of equipment, or even taking your family on the holiday or getting a new car you owe yourself.

HIGHER SERVICE STANDARDS

With decreasing profits, the knock on effect can be a reduction in the service you are able to offer your clients. By joining the VIP group, you’ll be able to keep more of your money in the business and retain the high levels of service you’re known for.

ENHANCED REPUTATION

With the rising cost of the products and services we provide, this can ultimately lead to a disgruntled client base that voices their unhappy views towards vets on social media. But with the benefit of belonging to the VIP group and offering high quality service, your clients are sure to be singing your praises far and wide.
