PBG Equine - Premier Buying Group

About PBG Equine

PBG recognised that too often Equine as a discipline was either coupled with Companion or Farm Animal, while we felt that all three disciplines should be recognised separately and given the respect individually each deserves.

As a result, in April 2022 we launched PBG Equine, a buying group dedicated to our members who are equine vets and the offering included a preferred product list with enhanced rebates, offers from trusted suppliers who specialised in the equine market, and bespoke equine marketing.

The group has grown quickly with established practices, charities, university hospitals and new mobile start ups among its members and we continue to add to the manufacturers and suppliers within this offering.

 

Specially negotiated discounts on equine products

When creating our preferred product list, real thought was put into how the list was compiled. We very quickly learned that equine vets were very protective of their clinical freedom and although increased rebates were always appreciated, they were not necessarily the deciding factor in an equine vet making a product choice.

So we researched which products were popular with our equine members and were able to negotiate better terms and also able to incorporate CPD and client support. Our manufacturer partners in the equine group bring a lot of value added services to our members and we were keen to ensure these were recognised and utlilised by our equine practices.

By offering enhanced rebates and strong manufacturer support, our equine members were able to enjoy benefits via our group without having their clinical freedom impacted. This balance has been important in growing our group’s membership.

Support from PBG Equine

Alongside the rebates and benefits we offer within this group, our rapid growth can be attributed to the support we give to our equine vets. On many occasions these vets will be on the road all day, often outside of mobile or internet reception for long periods of time making it difficult for them to source information or research a service when they are between calls.

As a result we encourage our equine vets to pass this work onto us. So whether it is sourcing a replacement for a long term out of stock product; a quote for equipment; a better buy report identifying additional savings or an understanding of the options via our third party partners, our Practice Support Managers will do the work for the vets. This support means that our equine members get the information they need in a timely manner and also ensure they don’t return home or back to the practice with a lengthy to do list after a busy day visiting their clients.

The client testimonials on this site emphasise how important support and good communication are to as when looking after our buying group members.
