Priority access to other Merlin services

We reinvest in products and services for the benefit of members. Gain priority access to our health plan service, MerlinSPS, and our anaesthetic gas exposure monitoring service, MerlinSalus PAM.

VSTOCK

Through a tender process, we work with our partners to provide a list of products covering most therapeutic indications at a higher competitive price than standard. This is not prescriptive; you can still choose other products based on clinical choice. VSTOCK recommendations are available from all wholesalers and through our warehouse, provided they stock the product.

Access to SIC Products through MerlinVet UK

Priority access at discounted prices to SIC products sourced and supplied by MerlinVet UK.

Individualised Support

 We tailor our support specifically towards your practice's needs. If you're a new start-up, we can provide  financial support, while our partners can provide stock support for that first initial stock order.  We can also provide ongoing IT support. Due to the way we operate, the flexibility and options available to help with cash flow are greater than dealing directly with suppliers.

Ultimately, we offer more flexibility and control - we’re here to facilitate the easy running of your practice. Every member is treated equally, irrespective of size and spend. We pride ourselves on being transparent and being available to answer any of your questions - please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss how we can help you save money.
