Opting for a pet health plan is a great choice for a pet owner, as it provides you with the peace of mind and support that is required at a time when your pet is sick or unhealthy. The key to solving any health problem, human or animal, is early intervention. The earlier the issue is identified the easier and more successful it will be to treat.
Why would you need a pet health plan?
Most pet owners would want their beloved pets to stay in great shape and health and as the saying goes, ‘prevention is better than cure’, a pet health plan ensures that you do not have to worry about your pet remaining ill or in bad health due to lack of treatment. A pet health plan ensures that your pet is able to receive every single preemptive health care treatments and checkups that he/she needs throughout the year to stay in the best shape. Moreover, if you look at this from a financial standpoint, a pet health plan ensures that you do not have to splurge huge amounts of money to ensure that your pet remains in good health.
Benefits of having a pet health plan
The Pet Health Plan that we offer is focused on illness prevention and is designed to help you take
control of your pet's health by alleviating much of the costs associated with vet visits. It helps you
to be prepared for the future, by keeping your pet healthy throughout their life, rather than your pet
only visiting us when they are sick.

The difference between our pet health plan and pet insurance
Our pet health plan provides you complete coverage for regular treatments such as flea treatment, de-worming, parasite treatments and vaccinations, while also accommodating regular checkups and visits to the veterinarian.
Pet insurance on the other hand does not provide coverage for these everyday treatments that pets require, and only provides coverage for emergency treatments and expensive healthcare for sudden illnesses or injuries.
Although, pet insurances are quite handy and can provide you with ample assistance during an emergency, they are not a practical choice for everyday treatments that every pet requires and therefore, not ideal for most pet owners. The benefits of pet insurance are used in once off situations of serious health issues. Our pet health plan on the other hand provides coverage for these everyday needs that pets have and therefore, prove to be the most ideal choices for pet owners to accommodate the daily costs associated with pet healthcare and treatments.
