Wellness Plans

Wellness plans are a great way to save on your annual visits. We have various plan options, depending on your budget and the stage of your pet’s life.

Wellness plans also complement most types of pet insurance. Please ask us for more information.

Insurance Options

Pet insurance works well in cases of injury and illness. Pet insurance premiums are typically paid on a monthly basis and can be used to help offset some of your pet’s treatment costs.

When using pet insurance, payment is due when services are rendered and then your insurance company will reimburse you if applicable.

If you're looking for a pet insurance provider, we suggest checking out Trupanion, ASPCA Pet Insurance, Nationwide Pet Insurance, PetPlan, or Pawlicy Advisor.

CareCredit

CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed to help you pay for your pet’s health and wellness over time instead of having to pay for everything all at once.

Your CareCredit card can be used for a variety of veterinary procedures, including:

  • Exams
  • Spay and neutering
  • Dental cleaning
  • Parasite control and prevention
  • Medication
  • Vaccinations
  • Surgical procedures
  • And more

"Had to seek help from a local vet to have my terrier's eye treatment continued from California. I was worried because I have used the same vet for 20 years or more in Cali. Altoona vet hospital was great with my old girl. She was being held and comforted by their techs when I returned to pick her up. Blake was super great, gentle, and kind. Much compassion. Well deserved 5 stars all around. Thank you for loving on her."
