Pet Health Care Plans

Care for your pet with a simple, affordable health care plan

Best Mate is a pet health care plan that helps you look after the well-being of your pet by providing preventative care.

Unlike an insurance policy, which covers you when the unexpected happens, a health care plan ensures your pet benefits from regular veterinary care, helping them enjoy the best quality of life possible. Together they give you the best protection.

It’s an easy pay-as-you-go membership that enables you to plan ahead for your pet’s health care, reducing both the cost and worry of whether you’ve missed an important consultation or essential treatment!

Best Mate is currently available to pets with a long-term health condition, helping pet owners manage both the condition and their pet’s overall health and well-being so they can live their best possible life.

Available at all Vetlife clinics (except New Brighton, Mosgiel and St Kilda); including Richmond, Mapua, Motueka and Blenheim from 1st November 2024.
