A pet wellness plan for your dog or cat in Chilliwack

At Promontory Animal Hospital, we offer wellness plans for dogs and cats at our clinic on Thomas Road in Chilliwack — a way to spread the cost of your pet's routine preventive care across the year, so the visits that keep a healthy pet healthy are easier to plan for. Here is how the idea works and who it tends to suit.

What is a pet wellness plan?

A pet wellness plan is a way to spread the cost of routine preventive care, the planned check-ups and prevention a healthy dog or cat needs, across the year instead of paying for each visit as it comes. It is not pet insurance. At our clinic in Chilliwack, we offer wellness plans and can walk you through the current plan details when you contact us.

How a veterinary wellness plan works

Much of a pet's preventive care is predictable. Over a year, a healthy dog or cat is likely to need a check-up and, depending on age and lifestyle, things like vaccinations, parasite prevention and a look at their teeth and gums (see our pet dental care page).

A veterinary wellness plan takes that planned care and spreads its cost across the year. Instead of a separate bill each time, the routine side of your pet's care becomes something you can budget for ahead of time.

What our plans include, how they are set up and what they cost are details we give you directly rather than list online. Contact us for current plan details.

Who a wellness plan tends to suit

A plan is a budgeting choice, not a medical one. It often suits:

  • Owners who would rather plan for routine care than meet each bill as it arrives
  • New owners facing a first year of visits (see our puppy and kitten care)
  • Owners of older pets, who usually benefit from more regular checks (see senior pet care)
  • Households with more than one dog or cat to keep up to date

Dog wellness plan or cat wellness plan: what changes?

Dogs and cats do not need identical preventive care, and neither do two dogs. A dog that boards, goes to daycare or mixes often with other dogs may need a kennel cough vaccine that a quieter dog does not. A cat with outdoor access has different risks from an indoor cat.

Whether you are asking about a dog wellness plan or a cat wellness plan, the right starting point is your own pet: their age, health and lifestyle. Tell us about them and we will explain how our plans apply.

A wellness plan is not pet insurance

A wellness plan is built around care you can plan for. Pet insurance is there for the unexpected, such as an accident or a sudden illness. Many owners find the two sit comfortably side by side.

We accept pet insurance. We provide the invoices and documentation you need to submit your claim. We work with Trupanion, Petsecure, Fetch and Pets Plus Us. For card, debit and cash payments, and financing through iFinance, see our payment options.

What does a wellness plan include at Promontory Animal Hospital?

We do not list plan inclusions or costs online. Please contact us for current plan details on 604-991-2745 or at info@promontoryvet.ca.

Is a pet wellness plan the same as pet insurance?

No. A wellness plan spreads the cost of routine preventive care across the year. Pet insurance covers the unexpected, such as accidents and illness. We accept pet insurance. We provide the invoices and documentation you need to submit your claim.

Is a wellness plan worth it for a young, healthy pet?

It depends on how you like to budget. A plan does not change the care a pet needs; it changes how you pay for the routine part of it. Paying per visit is a straightforward choice too, by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Interac debit or cash.
