What are wellness plans, and could you really benefit from signing your cat up for one? In this post, our Lisle vets list some benefits of wellness plans for your adult cat.
Cat Wellness Plans
As a cat owner, it can be hard to imagine your adult cat getting sick or injured, especially if they are in the prime of their life. However, it's always best to be prepared for the unexpected when it comes to your pet's health.
One way to ensure that your cat's routine preventive care needs are met is by enrolling them in a cat wellness plan.
Additionally, you may want to consider pairing the wellness plan with pet insurance to provide comprehensive coverage for your feline friend's health needs.
Benefits of Cat Health Plans
As a cat owner, you would want your furry friend to live a happy, healthy, and long life. Apart from spending quality time with your kitty and making sure that it gets enough playtime and exercise, it's also important to work with your veterinarian to create a preventive care plan that suits your cat's needs.
This is where a Cat Wellness Plan, also known as a cat health plan, comes into play. It allows your veterinary team at Lisle to monitor your cat's overall health and well-being and detect illnesses early on, significantly increasing your pet's lifespan and quality of life. The following section covers some specific benefits of having a cat health care plan.
Make It Easier to Care for Your Cat
Maintaining a good relationship with your veterinarian and having a comprehensive preventive care plan can improve the likelihood of using them regularly and benefiting from them. Regularly scheduled wellness exams for your cat can help you spend more quality time with your furry friends and make it easier to care for them on a daily basis.
Comprehensive Preventive Care
Pet owners should prioritize preventive care for their cats, just as they would for themselves. Investing in a Wellness Plan is an excellent way to ensure your cat remains healthy by preventing illnesses.
Many cat owners avoid taking their pets to the vet for regular checkups, assuming their cats are healthy enough. However, this is a common mistake because illnesses can go unnoticed until they have progressed to a point where treatment becomes expensive.
Regular physical checkups, annual core vaccinations, and more can help the vet catch any potential health issues early or prevent them altogether. Vaccinations can also protect your cat from a range of conditions and diseases caused by parasites, including heartworm disease and anemia. Early detection can lead to better treatment outcomes and make managing any conditions your cat may encounter easier for you and your vet.
Our Wellness Care Plan includes an annual fecal exam, heartworm test, a 12-month supply of parasite prevention, and one wellness exam in addition to your cat's annual checkup.
Take Advantage of Discounts
Grooming is another important element of pet health care (plus, it can help keep your cat looking and feeling great). When you sign up for a Wellness Plan at our hospital, you'll also get 10% off grooming and other services (some exclusions apply).
Manage Your Budget Better
Balancing the budget at the end of every month can be a stressful aspect of pet ownership, especially for cat owners. You must consider various short and long-term expenses, including food, healthcare, toys, medications, and unexpected veterinary emergencies.
All of these expenses can quickly add up. To ease this burden, kitten and cat health care plans can be beneficial. With a Wellness Care Plan from Green Trails Animal Clinic, you pay a predictable monthly subscription fee and receive special savings on recommended preventive care.
This approach makes more sense than paying for treatment each time you visit the vet. By subscribing to a wellness plan, you don't have to worry about being surprised by your next vet bill. Plus, the savings you receive from the plan can significantly affect your wallet.
An Essential Health Plan for Your Cat
Your cat is a unique individual and will have specific health needs no matter what their age. As your cat grows into an adult and then a senior, their requirements, ongoing conditions, and health status may change. Consequently, they will need a Wellness Plan and a veterinary team to keep up with their evolving health needs.
At Green Trails Animal Clinic, we are always willing to discuss any symptoms your pet may be experiencing and their current health status. Our veterinarians can also answer any questions and address any concerns you may have about your pet's health.
