Need More Information

[H2] Frequently asked questions

Can I join by contacting or visiting the practice?

Absolutely! You can sign up online or by speaking directly with our friendly team next time you visit.

Is it possible to enrol multiple pets?

Yes, you can enrol as many pets as you like in our plan.

Is the plan beneficial if I already have insurance?

Absolutely – Best Buddy Unlimited™ is not insurance and we always recommend that our clients take our insurance for their pets. The plan complements your pet insurance by covering preventative care such as vet consults, vaccinations and parasite preventatives, which are typically not included in insurance policies.

Can I cancel my plan?

Your membership is a 12-month contract, designed to spread the cost of veterinary care across the year. If you choose to cancel early, we will review your account. If you’ve received services that exceed the amount you’ve paid, we will ask you to cover the difference.

What happens if I move house, or my pet needs to be rehomed?

Your membership is not transferable to another veterinary practice. If you need to cancel your plan before the end of the 12-month contract, your account will be reviewed, and any outstanding fees for treatment already received will be charged.

Best Buddy Unlimited™ Plan

[H4] Simple, Unlimited Pet Care

Our Best Buddy Unlimited™ plan is an annual contract and will be automatically renewed. The unlimited free consultations included in the plan refer to any consultation with either a vet or nurse and include initial consultations, follow up consultations and all post operative examinations booked online and during normal published consulting hours. It does exclude out of hours emergency consultations. Annual saving is based on a medium sized dog attending 3 physical consultations and 2 video consultations and 4 written prescriptions a year.

[H2] It’s a Littlehampton thing

[H3]
We're locally managed – why that matters for you & your pet

I have worked in Littlehampton and Rustington for over 25 years, having originally graduated from the University of Cambridge Veterinary School in 1991.Having built up a large practice called Pet Doctors, I sold to a large corporate group called CVS Group in 2010, but continued to work for them, with my original hand-picked team, for the following 10 years.The CVS way of doing things became increasingly bureaucratic, leading to a massive increase in overheads and extra managers, as well as an ever-increasing push for more profits.Unfortunately this meant that routine veterinary care became increasingly expensive – the opposite of what I believe in. So I set up Stellar Vets to practice in the way I believe in.I believe that small, local practices like Stellar Vets can provide a much more personal and friendly environment for our clients and their pets.That’s why in 2026 I decided to become a founder member of VetThing, a community of like-minded, local veterinary practices with whom we can learn and share.VetThing have made a commitment to protect what makes my practice great.I’m happy to say this means that nothing will change for our clients. Me and my team will continue making the decisions we believe are necessary to provide you with a Stellar service.As ever, my focus is to keep prices down while developing and improving our service. I can ensure that I only bring on team members who have the same values as me – and who I think my clients will love.I’m proud to be the leader of the practice I founded, and I’m proud to be your vet.

Supporting the Local Community

[H2]
A Key Part of the
Littlehampton
Community

We launched in the midst of the pandemic, opening our doors when other businesses were closing theirs.We’re committed to being a positive presence in our community and work throughout the year to make Littlehampton a better place to live.That includes initiatives from me judging our local dog show to our client happiness team going out of their way to drop off medication or pick up pets for our clients if they can’t get in to see us.We’ve provided over £50,000 in discounts to local animal charities Worthing Cat Welfare Trust and Clymping Dog Sanctuary to support the invaluable work they do keeping local dogs and cats safe.We’ve even coordinated donations for homeless pets at Christmas and sponsored our own local beehive.This has helped us form a fantastic bond with our clients, which you can see from our hundreds of five star Google reviews. I was humbled to be voted as a finalist in the Petplan Vet of the Year awards in 2022, voted for by you, our lovely clients.That’s why I know I made the right decision to start my own practice again, and to base myself in Littlehampton. I look forward to welcoming you to Stellar Vets soon.
