Established Veterinary Businesses

Do you operate an established veterinary practice in the UK? You may or may not already be a member of a buying group, but come and speak to PBG to understand why so many practices are joining us.

Take your practice to the next level

Why practices join PBG from other buying groups

As a buying group, PBG has continued to grow its membership as we have never forgotten that our buying group members are all independent, are different in many ways, and these differences are to be celebrated and supported.

We understand that within our member base there is vast clinical experience, technical knowledge and business know-how, so as a buying group we don’t need to dictate to our members which wholesaler they use, which PMS they should install, or to remove their clinical freedom by implementing a formulary model. PBG has always believed our member practices are more than capable of making their own decisions at practice level, so our role is to provide options, savings and support so they have all the information needed to make the best decision for their businesses.

If you would like to experience the benefits of this model please contact us today.

Benefits for existing veterinary practices

Why would you leave your current buying group for PBG?

Exclusive Partnerships and Deals

Our buying group works with over 35 manufacturers and a further 30 companies who offer valuable services. We have exclusive deals with companies other buying groups don’t which bring benefits to our member practices.

 

 

Better Buying

Practices don’t often have the time to review their product choices and savings, so PBG will do a better buying exercise to identify options for our members which if they action would increase their savings.

Preferred Product Lists 

We have compiled a list of ‘preferred products’ with key manufacturers, ensuring our member practices receive enhanced rebates while maintaining their clinical freedom.

Investment in our Member Portal

Our new member’s portal goes live in January 2024 and is designed to be a resource for all members of the practice. Our portal has different permission levels meaning on a practice by practice basis, the administrator at each practice can determine who sees the buying group statements, the net net pricing tool, manufacturer information, details of our additional services and CPD provision.

This ensures that all employees at a PBG practice can benefit from the members portal in different ways, enhancing their knowledge and adding value to their day to day roles.
