What is an Optimum Wellness Plan charge?
Unreviewed registry note: Banfield clinics, primarily located inside PetSmart stores, offer these wellness plans to cover vaccines, routine blood work, and physical exams. This is not pet insurance; it is a discounted bundle of preventive services paid out over 12 months.
- Check Your Plan Unreviewed registry note: Log into the Banfield client portal to see exactly which services are covered under your specific tier.
Is this the same as pet insurance?
Unreviewed registry note: No, an OWP only covers expected preventive care. It does not cover surgeries, accident treatments, or illnesses.
Why did my monthly fee go up?
Unreviewed registry note: If your pet moved from a puppy/kitten plan to an adult plan, or if Banfield raised base rates at renewal time, your monthly fee increases.
