Meet Phelpsy 👋

During a recent routine visit for arthritis injections in Echuca, his owner mentioned a concerning lump on Phelpsy’s belly. It was determined that the lump needed to be removed, so this was booked in and taken care of. As Phelpsy was a Best Mates Member, the team decided to perform a dental scale & polish at the same time to help take care of his teeth as it was included in his membership 🦷

Result? The lump was removed, ensuring Phelpsy’s health, and his smile is now gleaming thanks to the dental. Phelpsy’s membership saved him $967 on the day, and this year alone, he’s saved over $1400. Providing comprehensive care while saving you money – that’s the Best Mates way! 🐾
