Pet owners spending money every month on food, subscriptions, and repeat essentials could potentially save more than they realize with the new PetSaver plans from Pet Drugs Online. These memberships are designed to help manage the ongoing costs of pet care, which can add up quickly.
Understanding PetSaver Plans
The new PetSaver plans come in three tiers, each catering to different types of pet owners. The Bronze tier is free and includes a 10% welcome discount along with access to offers and expert advice. The Silver tier costs £25 per year and offers a 15% discount on first orders, 2% off every order, free standard delivery, 24/7 online vet consultations, extra savings on Easy Repeat subscriptions, and monthly exclusive offers. The Gold tier costs £45 annually and increases the ongoing discount to 4% off every order, adds free priority next-day delivery, and provides bigger subscription savings.
Potential Savings Breakdown
At first glance, a 2% or 4% discount may not seem significant, but when you calculate the total annual spending on pet essentials, the savings become more apparent. For example, a dog owner spending roughly £80 a month on repeat essentials would spend close to £1,000 annually. Under the PetSaver Silver plan, the ongoing 2% discount alone could save almost £20 a year, not including free delivery, welcome discounts, and monthly offers.
The figures are even more compelling for larger households or owners with multiple pets. A family spending around £150 a month across food, grooming products, repeat care items, and subscriptions could easily exceed £1,800 a year in pet spending. Under PetSaver Gold, the 4% ongoing saving would reduce that annual bill by roughly £72, before including delivery benefits or subscription discounts. For households already placing regular online pet orders, the £45 membership fee could potentially pay for itself quickly.
Additional Benefits
Convenience is also a key part of the pitch. The Gold membership includes free priority next-day delivery, while both premium PetSaver memberships include 24/7 online vet consultations through PawSquad for non-urgent guidance and support. Pet Drugs Online says the memberships are designed to help owners better manage the ongoing cost of caring for pets during a period when many household budgets remain stretched.
The retailer has operated for more than 20 years and currently holds an “Exceptional” Feefo rating based on more than 209,000 reviews, with an average score of 4.8 stars. Whether Silver or Gold makes sense will depend entirely on how often someone shops online for pet essentials, but our sums suggest there are definitely scenarios where the savings become meaningful over the course of a year.
