Health Care Plans
Health care 'wellness' plans for all stages of your pet's life.
A healthy dog or cat is no accident. It takes a commitment. It starts with regular veterinary care, including three important steps: yearly wellness exams, disease prevention and pet health insurance
What is Pet Wellness?
The goal of a pet wellness program is to prevent or minimize disease or injury, improve your pet's quality of life, and help your pet enjoy a healthy life for as long as possible. Your veterinarian will accomplish this in several ways:
Routine health screenings
Ongoing communication between you and your veterinarian.
Preserving the veterinarian-client-patient relationship.
Yearly Exams Make Sense
Pets age seven times faster on average than people do. Most pets are adults by age 2, middle-aged by 4, and by age 7, many dogs, particularly larger breeds, are seniors. Because pets age so rapidly, health problems can occur in a short amount of time.
Yearly wellness exams provide two key benefits. First, they allow your veterinarian to diagnose, treat and prevent health problems before they become serious. Second, wellness exams are a great opportunity for you to ask the veterinary team about pet behavior, nutrition, flea and tick control, and other issues on a regular basis.
Yearly wellness exams can and do save lives. Be sure to schedule your pet’s yearly exam today. Know the risks, protect your pet.
Being a pet is risky business
That’s why your veterinarian or veterinary technician may conduct a Risk Assessment to determine your pet’s exposure to various diseases. A "Wellness Checklist" may include questions about your pet’s lifestyle, behavior and health history, such as:
- Are there any other pets in the household?
- What kind of wildlife is in your area?
- Do you travel with your pet?
Your veterinarian will use your answers to develop an individualized wellness and vaccination plan to help protect your pet from possible disease threats – whether they’re from a tick, a raccoon, or even another dog or cat.
Pet health insurance makes wellness easy on both of you
When your pet's wellness exams, vaccinations and other preventive care costs are covered by pet health insurance, both you and your pet benefit.
- Your pet needs preventive and routine treatments and procedures throughout its life to maintain good health. With pet health insurance, your pet will most likely receive vaccinations, flea and tick control, heartworm protection and other important routine care more often.
Even the most well-cared-for pets can experience a sudden illness or injury. Pet health insurance can reimburse you for unexpected medical expenses like ear infections, poisonings, foreign object removal and even cancer. Scary situations like these are easier to handle when you know the treatment and follow-up care that’s best for your pet is covered by insurance.
Many insurance plans and coverage levels are available. Ask your veterinarian if pet health insurance is right for your best friend.
