Why Are Vaccination and Parasite Prevention So Important?
Vaccinations protect your new pets from contagious and infectious diseases that are very hard to treat, and the only way for them to be fully protected is by giving them all of the vaccines, and by also keeping them away from public spaces until they are at least 16-weeks old. In addition, Parasite Prevention can be performed through various types of treatments such as tablets, topical applications, injections and rinses, among others.
When Should I Spay and Neuter My Pet?
This procedure is strongly advised, not only because it will avoid several behavioral issues, but because it will also prevent future illnesses such as prostatic, testicular and uterine diseases. It is important to highlight that these procedures can be done as early as eight weeks of age, as long as your pet weighs at least two pounds.
Should I Get Pet Insurance?
In order to give your pets the medical care they need, sometimes a Pet Insurance Plan is the best option. This way, you can manage the costs of emergency care, accidents, illnesses, dental issues, genetic and hereditary conditions, breed-specific conditions and alternative care.
What is a Pet Care Plan?
It’s a preventive care package that includes your pet’s essential yearly healthcare needs at a discounted rate helping you budget and keep your pet healthy year-round. It is a 12-month contract that will auto-renew. Clients are asked to speak with staff for more information about the contract.
What’s included?
Annual exam, bi-annual wellness exam, core vaccines, 12 months of flea/heartworm/tick/intestinal parasite prevention, and routine bloodwork once or twice a year (depending on the plan chosen).
What pets can join?
Dogs and cats aged 6 weeks and older! We offer Junior Plans (under 6 years) and Senior Plans (6 years and up).
Why are there different plans for juniors and seniors?
As pets age, their health needs change. Senior pets may require extra screenings to catch issues early — which is why those plans may include additional bloodwork and monitoring.
How much can I save?
Up to $170 per year depending on the plan — plus the value of early disease detection is priceless!
Do I have to pay upfront?
No! Plans are billed in easy monthly installments so you can spread out costs instead of paying everything at once.
Does this replace pet insurance?
These plans focus on preventive care (vaccines, testing, prevention). Pet insurance helps with unexpected illness or injury. Many pet parents choose to have both for full coverage.
What if my pet already has flea/tick or heartworm prevention?
Great! We’ll align your Pet Care Plan products with what your pet is already using or you can switch to what we recommend.
Can I share the plan benefits between pets?
Benefits are specific to each enrolled pet and cannot be shared.
What if I miss an appointment?
No worries, just reschedule! Your credits and services remain on your account for the contract year.
Does the plan auto-renew?
Yes, just to make sure your pet doesn’t miss any important care. We’ll always notify you ahead of time so you can make changes if needed.
Can I cancel?
You can cancel anytime! If used services exceeded payments made, the difference would simply be due at cancellation.
What types of bloodwork are included?
We include the level of testing appropriate for your pet’s age — helping detect early signs of kidney disease, liver issues, diabetes, and more.
- Junior Cat: Jr Wellness Bloodwork (includes Fecal and FeLV/FIV Test)
- Senior Cat: Sr Wellness Bloodwork (includes Fecal and FeLV/FIV Test) and Comprehensive Wellness Bloodwork
