About us

We are the longest established veterinary buying group (but we do not like this description - we are much more than this!). As a base principle, we aim to improve our member's profitability. We do this by reducing the cost of our member's purchases on pharmaceuticals and other goods and services. Vetcel negotiate the very best discount terms possible from our partners and also by reducing our member's administration costs.

We do not restrict member's choice of pharmaceutical product. We offer members 24hr/365 day access to a nett nett price list for all products - this can be accessed online, via mobile app or by downloading the list monthly. The clinical choice is always the member's.

We pay 100% of discounts earned in the month following purchase. We charge no membership fee, no administration fee, and no joining or termination fee. In fact, the only fee we charge is a £14.50 monthly web charge. We place no restriction on which wholesaler you use. We won't make you sign a contract or place any restriction or penalty on how long you join us for. You are free to maintain your relationships with manufacturer representatives.

We welcome all types of veterinary practice, regardless of species orientation. We treat all our members equally regardless of size.

We pride ourselves on our excellent industry wide reputation, our transparency, honesty and the ease, accuracy and reliability of our service.
