We just recently signed up for a Wellness Plan at Banfield Vet Hospital. It costs about $35 a month per dog (cats are about $26) for the plan that we are on and includes 2 comprehensive exams per year, all vaccinations (including leptospirosis, lyme, and bordetella along with all the usuals), deworming, some diagnostic testing and unlimited office visits. The “Active Prevention” plan which we are on also includes dental cleaning with full pre-anesthetic blood work. You also receive 15% off of other services which are not included. It’s a pretty good value considering a dental cleaning can easily cost over $500 – and that’s without any extractions or other problems. I feel like it also encourages pet owners to be pro-active and not let a possible problem fester since office visits are always free.

We’ll see how it goes – we have been on the plan for less than a month, so I can’t report on the actual reality of it :)

Hope this is helpful information for the forum.
