Petfirst Wellness Membership

Is Petfirst Wellness the same as insurance?

No, Petfirst Wellness is a proactive membership programme, focused on bundling essential preventative healthcare services and products into one simple and affordable package. Pet Insurance, however, is reactive, helping to pay for care after accidents and during illness.

Unlike insurance, Petfirst Wellness does not discriminate against age, pre-existing conditions nor breed. Petfirst Wellness benefits are available immediately upon sign up and payment of the initial fee, with no stand down period.

We recommend combining Petfirst Wellness membership with a pet insurance plan, for total peace of mind.

How is Petfirst Wellness membership paid?

Your membership is paid via direct debit and you can choose from a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or annual payment plan. Simply provide your credit card or bank account details to your Petfirst clinic. For more information, please read our Terms and Conditions.

Can I use my Petfirst Wellness membership at other vet clinics?

Petfirst Wellness is exclusive to VetEnt, so yes, your membership is valid at all of our clinics. Petfirst Wellness is not valid at non-Petfirst Veterinary clinics.

If you are planning a holiday or moving, check out our Petfirst clinic locations.

Can I get a Petfirst Wellness membership discount for additional pets?

No, unfortunately we do not currently offer a discount for multiple pets per owner.

Can I transfer my Petfirst Wellness membership?

To another pet: No. A Petfirst Wellness membership is tailored to each pet and cannot be transferred to another pet.

To another owner: Maybe. Only Petfirst Wellness memberships paid upfront, in full, maybe considered for transfer between owners, if the pet is sold, given away or rehomed if the owner dies or is unable to look after them. Due to direct debit agreements, memberships cannot be transferred when on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment plan. Please discuss your transfer request with your clinic team.

How long is the waiting period to join Petfirst Wellness

There is no waiting period to join – you can start receiving the benefits of Petfirst Wellness when you sign up.

How many free consultations are included in Petfirst Wellness

As a Petfirst Wellness member you are entitled to unlimited consults, within reason. We do have a Fair Use Policy, please read our Terms and Conditions.

How do I cancel my Petfirst Wellness membership?

You may cancel your membership at any time, with 20 days written notice. Simply email your Petfirst clinic or petfirstwellness@mypetfirst.co.nz with your intention to cancel. For more information, please read our Terms and Conditions.

Your local Petfirst Veterinary clinic team knows your pet and is therefore best placed to answer further questions you may have about your Petfirst Wellness Membership.
