Leaflets for Vets

What vets use leaflets for

Most clients choose a vet once and stay for the life of the pet, so a practice's print is about looking after that relationship: the right reminders at the right time, and clear information when the owner is worried.

1. Pet health plan leaflets

   What the plan covers, such as annual vaccinations, health checks, parasite control and nurse clinics, the monthly cost by species and size, and what is not included. Explained at the desk and in consults, taken home to decide.

2. Vaccination and check-up reminders

   An A6 card with the next booster date written on it, handed over at the appointment. Many owners stick it on the fridge, and it works alongside text and email reminders rather than replacing them.

3. New puppy and kitten packs

   Vaccination schedules, worming and flea routines in general terms, neutering, microchipping, feeding and socialisation. A short booklet in a welcome folder at the first appointment.

4. Surgery and dental aftercare

   Wound care, medication timings, feeding, exercise limits and when to call. Writable so the vet or nurse can fill in the specifics.

5. Nurse clinics and seasonal advice

   Weight clinics, senior pet checks, dental checks, fireworks anxiety in autumn, heatstroke in summer, toxic foods at Christmas. Small A5 flyers on the counter and in waiting areas.

6. Opening, out-of-hours and branch details

   A card with opening times, the out-of-hours provider and branch addresses. The most useful piece of print in a client's kitchen drawer.

7. New practice or branch

   A door drop near a new surgery, explaining services, opening hours and how to register.

Packages for vets

Two packs: new puppy and kitten owners, and the surgery and nurse clinic leaflets. Totals are live prices for the lines listed.

Sample leaflet designs for vets

Three layouts we drew for invented practices. Each describes care and services, never prescription-only veterinary medicines, and keeps the key numbers easy to find.

These are sample designs we made to show layout and wording. The business names, numbers and addresses are invented.

Wording you can use on veterinary practice leaflets

Wording that suits vets: practical, warm and clear about what is included. Do not name prescription-only veterinary medicines. Replace the bracketed parts.

• Say 'parasite control' rather than naming a prescription-only product.
• If a nurse clinic is free, say so plainly and state any condition, such as being registered with the practice.

When, where and how many

Vet print mostly reaches existing clients: in consults, at the desk and in the bag with medicines. Door drops are for new branches.

October is peak for fireworks advice. Spring brings puppies and kittens, parasite season and seasonal health campaigns; summer brings heatstroke advice.

Where they go

Consult rooms, reception, waiting areas and the bag with medicines. Puppy and kitten packs at first appointments. Partner outlets such as groomers, pet shops, kennels and catteries that agree to display them. Door drops only for a new practice or branch.

How many

Reminder cards: one per vaccination appointment, so 1,000 lasts a few months at a busy practice. Health plan guides: 500 per year for a single site. Puppy and kitten booklets: count last year's first vaccinations.

When to print

Fireworks material by the end of September. Health plan guides when prices change. Puppy and kitten booklets before spring. Allow the Saver working days on the product page plus delivery.

What response to expect

Health plan guides are judged by sign-ups after consults; reminder cards by booster attendance. A door drop for a new branch usually brings registrations in single figures per thousand homes at first, building as owners' boosters fall due.

Paper, size and finish for vets

Vet print gets handled by worried owners, damp hands and the occasional paw. Choose stock for the job.

Print the out-of-hours arrangement on everything that leaves the building. Use clear photos of healthy pets rather than clinical images of procedures.
