The Benefits of Wellness Plans
Pet Wellness Plan Benefits
Pet Wellness Plans at Stoney Creek Veterinary Hospital are not an insurance or sick pet plan. This plan only covers core wellness and preventative medicine recommended to you by your veterinarian, for the year.
That means that we have met with your veterinarian and made a list of essential vaccines, bloodwork, preventatives as well as your pet’s health exam and a second 6-month wellness exam that your pet will need for the year. We then discounted the total of all of these exams and services by 10%.
The plan allows you to make monthly payments (on this total) over the course of 12 months instead of you paying the total all at once at your pet’s annual visit.
When you sign up for the Wellness Plan you will also receive a 10% discount on some of our most common services.
(SQ Fluids, Anal Gland Expression, Ear Clean – Basic or Extensive, Hot Spot Treatment, In House Cytology- Ear/ Lump/ Skin, Laser Treatment, Microchip, Nail Trim, Wound Cleaning)
