The Optimum Wellness Plan and information have been provided by Banfield Pet Hospital®
No matter what kind of day I am having, good or bad, I know that whenever I walk through my front door there will be two four-legged friends waiting to greet me with lot’s of unconditional love. That’s the perk of being the proud owner of dogs, no matter what they are the most loyal companions and will be with you to the end. It’s only right that with that unconditional love, we as pet owners, do as much as we can to make their lives as healthy and happy as possible. If you have ever been a pet owner than you know that keeping your furry friends healthy isn’t always budget friendly and those unexpected trips to the vet in addition to their annual visits can add up quickly. That’s where Banfield Animal Hospital can step in to help.
The Banfield Optimum Wellness Plans® is a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive and affordable pet health care solution designed to keep your pet their healthiest and happiest. It’s offered for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens and tailored around your pets specific needs. The plan includes:
You can also add optional services for an extra fee including things like dental cleaning, preventive x-rays, urine testing and more. Depending on how old your pet is you can add the services that you see fit for your animal.
I visited the Banfield Pet Hospital a little over a week ago with my youngest dog, Willow. She was due for her vaccinations and heart worm check so I figured this was a great opportunity to check out the Banfield Wellness Plan. She also had a few spots on her skin that I was worried about and I figured I would take this time to let the vet check them out. We have had the same vet for about 10+ years so I was really curious to see what a difference a new pet clinic would make. As soon as we walked to the desk the receptionist was friendly, attentive and explained everything that would be included in the visit. She also went over optional services like nail clipping, and went over their prices so there were no surprise fees involved.
Once we got checked in the receptionist took Willow’s weight and escorted us to an examining room to meet with the nurse and then veterinarian. The nurse came in first to check Willow’s vitals and ask if we had any concerns or questions for the doctor. After a few minutes the veterinarian came in and went over what immunizations and other check’s Willow would be getting on this visit. She also answered some of my questions about the bumps on her skin and went over things I could do to help her with them. Other than being a little overweight and a some tarter build-up she got a clean bill of health from the doc.
I also opted to have Willow tested for Heartworms. This is such an important thing to have your pets tested for each year and to also use Heartworm preventatives such as the ProHeart® 6. ProHeart 6 is an injectable heartworm preventive that can be prescribed to healthy dogs over the age of 6 months and delivers six months of protection in a single dose. I don’t know about you but this is a HUGE convenience and peace of mind as a pet owner. To get the injection your dog must be tested for heartworms through a very easy and quick blood test. A few years ago our dog actually contracted Heartworms and while she survived it was a very costly treatment plan. To help save you a little cash here is a $10 off coupon towards a 6-Month injectable heartworm preventative.
I was extremely impressed with the offices as they were super clean and I felt right at home. The staff were all very knowledgable and you could tell that they all loved their job. I really loved the fact that the vet took her time to go over everything with me and I didn’t feel rushed. I felt like all of my questions and concerns were answered and I left knowing that I would definitely be back.
It’s such a relief to have the Wellness plan and not have to worry about paying for unexpected office visits if something should come up. Even if we are traveling in another state and have our dogs, they are still covered under the plan. I felt like this was great for people who travel or RV with their pets.
