Kitten Health Plan
What Is Included In My Kitten's Health Plan?
Kitten Health plan Includes
- Up to 3 wellness and vaccination exams: During these exams, our veterinarian will evaluate the overall health status of your new kitten and provide recommendations for preventative care and lifestyle management. You will be informed about any abnormalities during the examination and counseled on what these may mean for your pet. Kittens require a booster of their vaccinations to ensure efficacy, just like children do, and will receive an exam before each booster is administered.
- All vaccines recommended by the veterinarian for your specific animal: Not all animals require the same vaccination schedule. Our veterinarian will work with you to determine the vaccines that are required for your pet. The best part? All of these vaccines are covered at no extra cost to you if your pet requires more vaccines based on his/her lifestyle.
- Pet Parent Kitten Education Kit: We will provide you with written information about the diseases and conditions that we are protecting your kitten against with vaccines and preventatives. This allows you to review the information at home for a more thorough understanding of your pet’s medical care.
- Two fecal exams (if needed): All kittens are required to have a fecal examination because they are almost always born with intestinal parasites. These parasites can prevent kittens from gaining weight and growing normally, and they can also spread to humans! If your kitten’s first fecal comes back positive for a parasite, we will prescribe the appropriate medication and recheck a fecal to ensure that the parasites are gone.
- Kitten dewormer set: Since all kittens have intestinal worms, all kittens require deworming. We will send you home with a safe and effective dewormer called Pyrantel. This flavored medication is easy to give with a syringe. We recommend giving this every 2 weeks until your kitten is 6 months of age.
- 10% off Feline Leukemia and FIV testing: Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus are very serious infections that cats acquire from other cats. We recommend testing of all kittens for these viruses, since they can be transmitted from mother to kitten. Once we know the status of a kitten, he/she does not need to be tested again if staying indoors. Outdoor cats should be tested annually and when they are sick.
- Up to three pedicures (given at regular vaccination appointments): Sometimes pets wiggle for nail trims at home. Let our staff help by clipping your kitten’s nails while you are here for an appointment. We can also discuss techniques with you while performing them.
- Dental Care Kit and Introduction to Home Dental Care: Beginning home dental care when your kitten is young is essential for lifelong oral health. Let us teach you how to begin tooth brushing and other dental care at home with your pet!
- 10% off microchip implantation: Microchips are a valuable way to ensure that your pet will always be able to find his/her way home if lost. Planning in advance by microchipping your pet can decrease stress during a difficult situation later on. The microchip is the size of a grain of rice, and is placed under the skin between the shoulder blades. Any veterinarian or shelter can scan for the microchip if your pet is found and brought in. The number that is read on the reader is traceable back to you.
- SPAY OR NEUTER SURGERY: One of the most important things that we do for our pets is to have them spayed (females) or neutered (males). Besides preventing unwanted pregnancy and litters of kittens, spaying and neutering also has medical benefits. For example, unspayed females are prone to developing pyometra, a life-threatening infection in the uterus, as well as mammary cancer. Intact males often demonstrate behavioral concerns, such as urine marking and intercat aggression, which are not compatible with living indoors. Avoid these potential problems by having your animals spayed and neutered. Included in the kitten health plan is:
- Pre-surgical examination
- Pre-anesthetic bloodwork (complete blood count and mini chemistry)
- Inhalant Anesthesia
- Monitoring of the animal before, during and after the procedure
- Hospitalization all day and overnight (if needed)
- In-hospital pain medication
- Detailed home care instructions for your individual pet
- 25% off laser surgery: The surgical laser decreases pain, swelling and bleeding. This allows our pets to feel better sooner after the procedure.
Puppy Health Plan
What Is Included In My Puppy’s Health Plan?
Puppy Health plan Includes
- Up to 6 wellness and vaccination exams: During these exams, our veterinarian will evaluate the overall health status of your new puppy and provide recommendations for preventative care and lifestyle management. You will be informed about any abnormalities during the examination and counseled on what these may mean for your pet. Puppies require multiple boosters of their vaccinations to ensure efficacy, just like children do. Having available five vaccination exams allows the veterinarian to space the vaccines apart as appropriate for your specific puppy.
- All vaccines recommended by the veterinarian for your specific animal: Not all animals require the same vaccination schedule. Our veterinarian will work with you to determine the vaccines that are required for your pet. The best part? All of these vaccines are covered at no extra cost to you if your pet requires more vaccines based on his/her lifestyle.
- Pet Parent Puppy Education Kit: We will provide you with written information about the diseases and conditions that we are protecting your puppy against with vaccines and preventatives. This allows you to review the information at home for a more thorough understanding of your pet’s medical care.
- Heartworm Test (if puppy is greater than 6 months of age): Spread by the bite of mosquitoes, heartworm disease can be deadly to dogs. The worms can hinder the pumping of blood by the heart, eventually leading to heart failure. Once a dog has heartworm disease, treatment is complicated and not without risk. The patient must be kept crated with no exercise for months, and is treated with both oral medications and injections of an arsenic-like medication into their muscles. This treatment can be expensive, but it is the only way to kill the adult worms in the body. Yearly heartworm testing helps us to make sure that if a dog is infected by heartworm disease, we catch it as soon as possible to minimize damage to their body. This also allows us to keep dogs on preventatives, which kill the larvae before they can become adult worms in the body.
- Tick-borne disease testing (lyme disease, erlichiosis, anaplasmosis): We see a lot of tick-borne disease in this area of the country. Monitoring dogs for exposure to tick-borne diseases helps us to make sure that they stay as healthy as possible, while still enjoying the outdoors. Puppies are tested for tick-borne diseases prior to starting their lyme vaccination series.
- FREE first dose of heartworm prevention & FREE first dose of flea & tick prevention! We carry a variety of both heartworm and flea/tick preventatives to help fit your budget and your pet’s lifestyle. Health plan members also receive a 10% discount on all purchases of these important medications. We encourage clients to keep their pets on preventatives year-round to provide complete coverage.
- Two fecal exams (if needed): All puppies are required to have a fecal examination because they are born with intestinal parasites. These parasites can prevent puppies from gaining weight and growing normally, and they can also spread to humans! If your puppy’s first fecal comes back positive for a parasite, we will prescribe the appropriate medication and recheck a fecal to ensure that the parasites are gone.
- Puppy dewormer set: Since all puppies have intestinal worms, all puppies require deworming. We will send you home with a safe and effective dewormer called Pyrantel. This flavored medication is a favorite of puppies and is easy to give with a syringe. We recommend giving this every 2 weeks until your puppy is 6 months of age.
- Up to five pedicures (given at regular vaccination appointments): Sometimes pets wiggle for nail trims at home. Let our staff help by clipping your puppy’s nails while here for an appointment.

- SPAY OR NEUTER SURGERY: One of the most important things that we do for our pets is to have them spayed (females) or neutered (males). Besides preventing unwanted pregnancy and litters of puppies, spaying and neutering also has medical benefits. For example, unspayed females are prone to developing pyometra, a life-threatening infection in the uterus. Unneutered males can develop enlargement of the prostate, which can lead to pain, bleeding and prostatic infections. Avoid these potential problems by having your animals spayed and neutered. Included in the puppy health plan is:
- Presurgical examination
- Pre-anesthetic bloodwork (complete blood count and mini chemistry)
- Inhalant Anesthesia
- Monitoring of the animal before, during and after the procedure
- Hospitalization all day and overnight (if needed)
- In-hospital pain medication

Adult Cat Health Plan
What is Included in My Cat’s Health Plan?
Our feline-friendly health plans offer comprehensive care for your cat in a predictable, budget-friendly format. Your monthly payment entitles you to all the plan benefits and special subscriber discounts, and takes the guesswork out of what your cat’s next visit will cost.
Please read on for details about what is covered by our health plan for cats!
Adult Cat Basic Health Plan
- One wellness vaccination exam per year: During this exam, our veterinarian will evaluate the overall health status of your cat and provide recommendations for preventative care and lifestyle management. You will be informed about any abnormalities during the examination and counseled on what these may mean for your pet.
- All vaccines recommended by the veterinarian for your specific animal: Not all animals require the same vaccination schedule. Our veterinarian will work with you to determine the vaccines that are required for your pet. The best part? All of these vaccines are covered at no extra cost to you if cat requires more vaccines based on his or her lifestyle.
- Yearly wellness bloodwork (complete blood count and mini chemistry): These blood tests will give us more information about your pet’s immune system, red blood cell count, liver and kidney values, glucose and blood protein levels. This will allow us to pick up on abnormalities before your cat is showing any signs of illness. Even if all of the labwork is normal, this provides us with baseline values for comparison in case your cat becomes ill in the future.
- Yearly fecal parasite testing: Yearly stool sample testing is recommended for all dogs and cats to protect them and their human families from parasites. Did you know that some worms can be spread to humans? Young children are especially at risk. Although some preventatives (such as Revolution®) also provide protection against intestinal worms, it is still advised to check the stool regularly for evidence of “unwelcome guests”. If parasites or eggs are seen in the fecal examination, a doctor will prescribe a medication for your pet and discuss management of the condition with you.
- One annual comprehensive examination: Sometimes, even with the best care, a pet becomes sick. You may use your comprehensive exam to cover the cost of this initial examination for any illness that arises. Our doctors will use the findings of the exam to develop a diagnostic and treatment plan to get your pet feeling better.
- Two pedicures per year: Sometimes pets wiggle for nail trims at home. Let our staff help by clipping your cat’s nails while here for an appointment.
- 10% off annual Feline Leukemia and FIV testing: Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus are very serious infections that cats acquire from other cats. It is recommended that outdoor cats be tested annually for these diseases, since they are continually exposed to other cats. Indoor cats are usually tested as kittens, and do not require retesting unless they go outside or are exposed to cats of unknown viral status.
- 10% off Monthly Parasite Prevention: We strongly recommend a monthly parasite prevention for all of our feline patients. This medication, applied once monthly to the skin on the back of the neck, protects cats from fleas, heartworms, ear mites and intestinal worms. As a health plan participant, your pet will get this anti-parasitic medication at a discount.
- 10% off microchip implantation: Microchips are a valuable way to ensure that your pet will always be able to find his/her way home if lost. Planning in advance by microchipping your pet can decrease stress during a difficult situation later on. The microchip is the size of a grain of rice, and is placed under the skin between the shoulder blades. Any veterinarian or shelter can scan for the microchip if your pet is found and brought in.

UPGRADE OPTIONS
As pets age, or if they have other ongoing medical conditions, there may be times where additional monitoring bloodwork and regular testing is ideal to keep tabs on important body functions and organ health. We offer two levels of preventive care monitoring upgrades to help meet these needs as your pet ages – the Silver Upgrade offers enhanced labwork, and the Gold Upgrade offers labwork plus other important testing, as well as an additional comprehensive exam.
Silver Upgrade
In addition to all of the above basic services, this upgrade also includes:
- Urinalysis: Urine provides us with additional information that complements the results of the bloodwork. This urine test may reveal evidence of kidney or liver disease, a urinary tract infection, or urinary tract crystals. A urinalysis is especially useful for cats, since they very commonly develop chronic kidney disease as they get older.
Gold Upgrade
In addition to the basic services, also includes:
- An additional included comprehensive examination (for a total of 1 wellness vaccination exam and 2 comprehensive exams per year): Some pets, due to age or underlying conditions, may require additional exams every year. These can be used for wellness or illness visits. Rest assured that if your pet becomes ill, the initial assessment exam will be covered by your wellness plan.
- Thyroid screening test (total T4): Middle-aged to older cats may be predisposed to developing hyperthyroidism, or an elevated thyroid hormone level. This causes the cat’s metabolism to be too quick, leading to weight loss, increased appetite, and an increased thirst. Cats can also have vomiting or diarrhea when their thyroid level is too high. At its worst, hyperthyroidism can also cause blindness due to elevated blood pressure. Screening cats for this condition allows us to diagnose it earlier, so we can begin treatment as soon as possible.
- Urinalysis: Urine provides us with additional information that complements the results of the bloodwork. This urine test may reveal evidence of kidney or liver disease, a urinary tract infection, or urinary tract crystals. A urinalysis is especially useful for cats, since they very commonly develop chronic kidney disease as they get older.
- Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio (if indicated): If a pet has protein in his/her urine, there are many potential underlying causes. This test allows us to determine if the amount of protein in the urine is significant or not. That additional information helps guide diagnostic recommendations and treatment.
- Blood pressure measurement: Several diseases in cats can impact blood pressure (including hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease). Even in a healthy patient, it can be important to have a baseline blood pressure prior to illness or anesthesia.
- Eye pressure measurement: Glaucoma is a painful condition that develops when the pressure in the eye is too high. This can lead to vision loss, and sometimes surgery or removal of the affected eye is required. If diagnosed early, glaucoma can often be managed with topical medications. Eye pressure measurement is painless for your pet and can also be used to monitor other ophthalmic conditions.
- Discounted laser therapy packages ($239 for a package of 6 treatments): Laser therapy is an extremely safe and effective treatment modality used to help with wound or incision healing, arthritis, disc disease, and many other conditions. Our patients become much more comfortable when treated with the therapeutic laser. Most conditions require twice weekly treatments for 3 weeks to see results. Enjoy this significant discount on the cost of laser therapy for your pet as a valuable benefit of your wellness health plan.

- Thyroid screening test (total T4): Middle-aged to older dogs are prone to developing hypothyroidism, or low levels of thyroid hormone. If diagnosed, this can be treated with thyroid supplementation. Signs of a low thyroid level include: weight gain, low energy, hair loss or poor hair coat quality. If your dog’s T4 is low and he or she has these clinical signs, we will likely recommend a complete thyroid profile to be sent to the lab for more information before recommending a lifelong supplement (additional panel not included in health plan package).
- Urinalysis: Urine provides us with additional information that complements the results of the bloodwork. This urine test may reveal evidence of kidney or liver disease, a urinary tract infection, or urinary tract crystals.

- Dry eye screening: Dogs can have dry eye just like humans! This condition can lead to ocular pain, squinting, and thick mucus discharge from the eyes. Dry eye can also cause pets to develop corneal ulcers, or defects in the outer layer of the eye. Corneal ulcers can be very serious. We test for dry eye by performing a Schirmer Tear Test, which measures tear production in each eye.
- Discounted laser therapy packages ($239 for a package of 6 treatments): Laser therapy is an extremely safe and effective treatment modality used to help with wound or incision healing, arthritis, disc disease, and many other conditions.

Dental Health Plan: Dogs & Cats
Dental Health Plan
Sometimes after the teeth are cleaned, using our ultrasonic cleaning tools, we uncover teeth that are so diseased they need to be removed for the patient to be pain-free. The cost for extractions depends on the difficulty of the extraction procedure, and ranges between $30 and $130. The dental health upgrade package includes a 10% discount on all needed extractions (see below).
Our dental care plan includes:
- One total oral health examination under anesthesia
- Monitoring of the patient before, during and after the procedure
- Inhalant anesthesia
- In hospital injections (pain management +/- antibiotics)
- IV catheter: This allows us to have access to a vein in case of emergency. Besides making the procedure safer for the patient, it also allows us to provide intravenous fluids to manage blood pressure during surgery.
- Ultrasonic scaling and polishing of the teeth
- All day hospitalization
- 10% off all dental extractions (if required)
- 10% off antibiotics to go home (if indicated)
