Introducing BBVet and Rob White.
BBVet provides an online platform for veterinarians to share key information. Following an initial interruption caused by the COVID pandemic, we are now reintroducing a revamped and enhanced survey service. These tools include surveys and benchmarking for Fees, Employee Hourly Rates, Profit and Loss, Opinions and Preferences, Current or topical events within the veterinary industry. Plus many other useful articles and statistics on the feelings and attitudes about the industry, both now and in the future.
We are kicking off with the highly sought-after “20 Common Small Animal Fees Survey” once again. The particular fees being investigated are mostly charged multiple times every day, significantly influencing the financial performance of your practice. Participation, which will only require a few minutes of your time, can bring about profound changes in the way you operate.
Benefits of the insights
A veterinary practice manager pointed out what they really liked about BBVet Fees Surveys. They indicated 3 main benefits:
- Finding out what other practices are charging for ‘every day’ fees – and then seeing how their fees compared.
- Using the new Interactive Graphics tools and especially the ‘What If’ Analysis tool – which allowed them to say – “Well, what If I charge £40 for a consultation instead of £38?” – then seeing what difference this makes compared to colleagues. This was a real winner!
- Being able to specifically compare fees relative to their own profile groups – having set up the profiles in My Account they could then compare to similar types of practice, size of practice and location. Pet Proactive is a pet insurance provider and data analytics business serving only independent vets.
What is being surveyed?
Here are 5 examples of the fees we are surveying:
- Standard initial consultation fee
- Standard dispensing fee
- Written prescription charge
- Primary vaccination course
- Standard single DHLPPiL booster vaccination
Plus 15 other everyday fees
This is a FREE SURVEY which offers huge benefits.

Comments from users:
“Intuitive, distilled, useful and clear, the BBVet software is an excellent source of information to make accurate, real-life pricing decisions, removes the cloud of uncertainly and lets you assess exactly where your prices lie in relation to other practices. Very impressive, highly recommended.” – David Steele (St James Vet Group)
“This tool provides a unique perspective on veterinary pricing which I am certain will prove useful in my practice. “ – Dianne Storer (Cockburn Veterinary Group)
“I’ve used a number of benchmarking platforms and had low figures in some areas which I’ve then wanted to fix but not really known how except to guess it should be X amount more for an Xray for instance. Working through the common fees to try and find a place for the practice in the marketplace is an excellent idea and saves a lot of micromanagement and guesswork that has previously gone into our pricing.” – Geoff Tinkler (Strand Vets)
