What do yo get with a pet health plan? Are they worth it?
Owning a pet is one of life’s greatest joys, but it also comes with responsibilities—ensuring your pet stays healthy is paramount. At Beehive Vets, we understand the deep bond you share with your furry companions, and we’re committed to helping you provide them with the best care possible.
One effective way to maintain your pet’s health is by joining a pet health plan. But what exactly does this membership offer, and is it worth it? Let’s explore how membership can benefit both you and your beloved pet.
What Is a Pet Health Plan?
A Pet Health Plan is a subscription-based service designed to cover the cost of routine veterinary care for your pets. Unlike pet insurance, which typically covers unexpected accidents or illnesses, a pet health club focuses on preventive care. This approach ensures your pet receives regular treatments and check-ups, minimizing the risk of unforeseen health issues and associated vet bills.
What Does a Pet Health Plan usually Include?
Most pet health plans are tailored to cover essential treatments and services that keep your pet in tip-top shape. Here’s what you can expect:
Unlimited Consultations
Some plans include unlimited consultations at no further cost. This usually works out really great value, and provides complete peace of mind, allowing for prompt attention to any concerns without extra worry.Flea and Tick Prevention
Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance; they can cause significant health issues if left untreated. A pet health plan will typically include year-round flea and tick prevention, so your pet is protected no matter the season.Worming Treatment
Internal parasites, like roundworms and tapeworms, can make your pet ill and even pose a risk to your family. Regular worming treatments, which are usually part of a health plan, ensure your pet stays worm-free.Annual Health Check and Vaccinations
An annual check-up with your vet is crucial for spotting any early signs of illness. Many pet health plans will also cover the cost of your pet’s yearly vaccinations, ensuring they are protected from common diseases such as parvovirus and feline leukaemia.Discounted Treatments and Services
Many veterinary practices offer discounts on additional treatments, such as dental care or diagnostic services, when you’re enrolled in a health plan. This can help you save on the costs of unforeseen medical needs.Nutritional Advice
Some health plans include consultations on nutrition, helping you make the best dietary choices for your pet’s specific needs.Microchipping
Keeping your pet safe is a top priority, and some health plans will even include microchipping services, ensuring you can be reunited with your pet if they ever get lost.
Why Choose an In-House Pet Health Plan?
While there are plenty of third-party pet health plans, opting for an in-house plan with your veterinary practice can offer added benefits. You’ll likely receive personalised care from a team that knows your pet’s history, and your practice’s health plan may be more competitively priced. Plus, many in-house plans come with additional perks like exclusive discounts or priority bookings.
