What is a pet wellness plan?

Veterinary wellness plans are preventative pet care plans that can help make pet parenting more affordable for routine healthcare. Dog and cat wellness plans typically include:

  • Wellness Exam
  • Vaccinations
  • Parasite Prevention
  • Dental Care
  • Diagnostic Screenings

Pet Insurance vs. Wellness Plans

Pet wellness plans are not the same as pet insurance.

  • Pet insurance helps to cover unexpected or emergency visits, with reimbursements for preventative care, provided by outside vendors or providers.
  • Pet Wellness Plans are provided by our hospital and focus on routine and preventative care.

Many pet parents will use a combination of both Pet insurance and Pet Wellness Plans for more complete coverage and peace of mind.

Benefits of a Pet Wellness Plan

Save Money

Preventative veterinary care costs can add up quickly. Wellness plans can help offset those expenses by offering discounts, and allowing you to consistently pay smaller amounts over time rather than paying a large bill all at once. This makes your pet's care easier to budget for and helps with cost transparency. Many companies also have a reimbursement model that you might qualify for!

Consistent Preventive Care

Wellness plans ensure your pet receives the regular check-ups and preventive care they need to help detect and treat any health issues early. Early detection of health problems is crucial to avoiding expensive pet care treatments down the road!

Comprehensive Pet Care

Pet wellness plans cover a range of veterinary services that aim to keep your pet healthy.

Types of Pet Wellness Plans

Most wellness plans fall into one of the following categories:

  • Basic Plans: This type of plan typically covers routine services such as pet wellness exams, pet vaccinations, parasite prevention, pet fecal tests, pet deworming, diagnostic tests, etc. They are a good fit for pet parents looking for more efficient and simplified pet healthcare.
  • Comprehensive Plans: This type of plan typically covers services like spaying/neutering, pet microchipping, and dental care, in addition to routine pet care needs. If you're looking for in-depth preventative care and diagnostics as part of your pet's wellness plan, this might be a fit for you!
  • Customizable Plans: You can choose specific coverage options based on your pet’s health needs. Flexibility is the main benefit of this type of plan.

Puppy Wellness

Congratulations on your new puppy! Thank you for choosing us to help protect and care for your new addition to your family.

Our puppy wellness program is designed to help get your puppy started on the right path to a long and healthy life. The first few months are a critical period in your puppy’s development, and we can give you the support and tools necessary to help him or her grow into a well-mannered, healthy dog, including information and advice on nutrition, training, behavior, and socialization.

Schedule your puppy for his or her first exam as soon as possible. Until your puppy has received a series of vaccines, he or she is susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases. We will vaccinate your new dog against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, among other diseases. Your puppy will also need to be tested and treated for parasites, which are common in young dogs.

Most puppies have roundworms, which are intestinal worms that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal signs (although dogs can have worms without showing any symptoms). It is important for puppies to be treated for roundworms, not only to rid them of the infection but also to prevent you and the rest of your family from becoming infected. Roundworms are a zoonotic parasite, which means they can be transmitted from pets to people. By ensuring that your puppy is treated, you can keep your entire family safe from these and other parasites.

We look forward to meeting your new puppy! Schedule your appointment today.

Kitten Wellness

Congratulations on your new kitten! Thank you for choosing us to help protect and care for your new addition to your family.

Our kitten wellness program is designed to help get your kitten started on the right path to a long and healthy life. The first few months are a critical period in your kitten’s development, and we can give you the support and tools necessary to help him or her grow into a well-mannered, healthy cat. We provide information and advice on nutrition, litter box training, and behavior.

Schedule your kitten for his or her first exam as soon as possible. Until your kitten has received a series of vaccines, he or she is susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases. We will vaccinate your new pet against rabies and panleukopenia (distemper). Depending on your cat’s risk, we may also advise vaccinating him or her against other diseases, such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). In addition, your kitten will need to be tested and treated for parasites, which are common in young cats.

Most kittens have roundworms, which are intestinal worms that can cause coughing, weight loss, and a potbellied appearance in cats (although they may not cause any symptoms). It is important for kittens to be treated for roundworms, not only to help rid them of the infection, but also to prevent you and the rest of your family from becoming infected. Roundworms are a zoonotic parasite, which means they can be transmitted from pets to people. By ensuring that your kitten is treated, you can keep your entire family safe.

We look forward to meeting your new kitten! Schedule your appointment today.

Adult Pet Wellness

Yearly wellness exams are the best way to give pets the best chance for a longer, happier life. Preventive care is essential in the early detection of diseases and the prevention of potentially fatal parasites such as heartworms. Due to laws and veterinary practice standards, a yearly exam is required to dispense medications and parasite prevention.

During the exam, our team will perform a head-to-tail physical assessment, at which time we will administer appropriate vaccinations based on your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle. Yearly diagnostics such as blood work and fecal and urine testing are recommended to check for underlying diseases and ensure your pet is parasite-free. Annual lab work allows us to track changes in any disease progression and allows our team to prescribe medications appropriately.

We offer wellness plans to that are tailored to provide the best possible preventative healthcare for your pet including exams, vaccines, prevention, and nail trims.

Please let our team know of any physical or behavioral changes you have noticed in your pet so we can assess its overall health and address any concerns you may have. To schedule an appointment, book an appointment online through our online portal.

Senior Pet Wellness

As our pets age, monitoring their health is essential to preserving their quality of life for as long as possible. Early recognition and intervention of illness, especially chronic illnesses that are more common in older pets, are the best tools for prolonging a pet’s life. We recommend bi-annual wellness exams and regular diagnostics, as these changes can happen rapidly.

Most “signs of aging” are actually the progression of common diseases that can occur at any age but are more prevalent in older pets. Aging is not a disease, and these symptoms can be potentially managed or treated to help improve and maintain quality of life. These changes might include:

  • Stiffness
  • “Slowing down”
  • Not jumping as much
  • Unexplained weight loss/gain
  • Muscle wasting
  • Breathing more rapidly/heavily
  • Changes in appetite
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Development of new or abnormal behaviors

While being considered a senior can depend on breed and size, we recommend starting senior screenings for diseases around 7 years of age. Our senior wellness plans are tailored to provide the best possible preventative healthcare for your pet’s age and needs. Schedule your pet’s exam today to discuss any changes you may be seeing, and our team can create an individualized treatment plan that may include medications, supplements, or exercises to help your pet continue to live a long, happy life.

How much does a pet wellness plan cost?

The cost of a pet wellness plan varies depending on the level of coverage you choose. Basic plans are generally more affordable, while comprehensive plans offer broader coverage at a higher cost.
