Banfield makes Pet healthcare convenient and affordable
Banfield, The Pet Hospital® is making preventive Pet healthcare accessible and affordable for every Pet owner through its Optimum Wellness Plans®. The Wellness Plans are discounted packages of healthcare services that include the cost of preventive care Banfield veterinarians recommend Pets receive each year.
Tailored to fit the age of the Pet (puppies, kittens and adult Pets) the plans include vaccinations, twice annual tooth-to-tail comprehensive examinations, routine dental cleanings, and lab work, among other preventive care services. In addition, all Pets enrolled on plan receive free office visits and discounts on veterinary services not included in the plans.
“Preventive care is the driving inspiration behind our practice—it’s medicine that goes beyond just treating an illness once it occurs to detecting a problem, or potential problem, in its earliest stage when it’s easiest to take care of,” said Karen Johnson, DVM, vice president and client advocate for Banfield. “Similar to human medicine, the overall cost of preventive care is minimal compared to the cost of treating an illness.”
For every year a human ages, Pets age six to 10 years. This means that if an eight-year-old Pet goes without an annual wellness exam, he or she would compare to a 60-year-old person without medical, dental or optical care for 10 years. In that span of time, it is very likely that a human health condition could develop and go untreated; the same is true for Pets. Regular veterinary examinations, such as those included in Banfield’s Wellness Plans, help identify and address underlying health problems early thus reducing the chance the problem will become chronic.
“Wellness Plans are designed to save Pet owners money on routine medical needs for the life of the Pet. No one should have to choose between routine vaccinations and an annual dental cleaning for their Pet–both are equally important to the long-term health of a Pet,” said Nancy Zimmerman, DVM, DABVP, director of medical support for Banfield. “Just like their owners, we want Pets to be as healthy and happy as possible.”
To date, more than two million clients across the country have enrolled in the Wellness Plans. Pet owners can sign up for a plan at their local Banfield Pet hospital. Plans can be paid for in full annually or through low monthly payments. For the nearest Banfield hospital, visit www.banfield.net.
