Jake went for his combi vaccine today under Vac4Life and the vet recommend he have it but it's not included. The vet said see terms and conditions, which do read something along the lines of covering only myxomatosis and RHD1.
Yes I have it for my 3 - was told when they got their RHD2 vacs that it may be included in the future but as it's only available as an import at the moment it's not included. Hopefully it will be but I'm not holding my breath!
That's the thing though, it *isn't* an import anymore!

RVHD 2 – FAQ – updated January 2017
We are pleased to note that it is now possible to order Filavac VHD K C + V from 3 UK wholesalers, NVS, Centaur and Henry Schein Animal Health
For the last 6 months it's been available to order within the UK. However, Head Office insist that it isn't included because:
1. It's not available in the UK
2. It hasn't been tested in the UK and so it's unknown whether it even works or not!
It was back in November I was told that so I'll be asking again when they are in for their myxo-rhd vacs in a couple of weeks
Mine have just had their RHD2 vacs again recently, I spoke to my vets and was advised RHD2 will never be included in vac4life. Apparently dogs with the plan only have 1 vaccination a year included and it will be the same for rabbits.
Hence why I went to a different vet who charged £22.80 per vac rather than my usual vet who charge £39.75!
im not with them but in healthy pet club, rhd2 being new is not included in the package
The fact that they're now calling it rhd-1 suggests that it's a very deliberate clarification that RHD2 vaccines aren't included doesn't it? The dog and cat vaccines are single vaccines for multiple diseases, so they are being covered for more but it's still a single jab annually. Maybe in the future, we'll get a combo jab which includes RHD2 and then it will no doubt be included!
The cat vaccine is a combination vaccine.
Dogs is also a combination vaccine but often they'll just do one part every 3 years.
Kennel cough vaccine will have to be paid for separately.
Girls are in for Nobivac in 2 weeks, by seeing as my vet only charged £20 for the Filavac I won't be too worried about it.

Looking on their website, it gives the impression that dogs and cats get a better deal than rabbits
Not just with vac4life either, I noticed similar with the monthly plans offered by the vet I had their RHD2 vacs done at. With their rabbit plan you save a whopping £8.78 a year by having the plan whereas the savings on the various cat & dog plans are between £60-£149 per year https://www.taylorvets.co.uk/rabbit-plan
Just to add it looks like the KC vaccine isn't included in the vac4life which is highly recommended for any dog that is social with other dogs. (Kennel Cough is spread anywhere dogs gather. e.g. parks, vets, multidog households etc).Thanks for that DP :thumb:
