Preventive care is one of the best investments you can make in your pet's long-term health. Regular wellness exams, vaccinations, diagnostic screenings, dental care, and parasite prevention all play a vital role in helping pets live longer, healthier lives.
At Alpine Animal Hospital, we've designed our Wellness Plans to make that care more accessible, more affordable, and easier to manage.
Our plans are tailored to your pet's stage of life—from energetic puppies and kittens to thriving adults and cherished seniors. Each plan bundles recommended preventive services, vaccines, and parasite prevention medication that your pet needs over the course of an entire year, helping you stay on track with your pet's recommended care while making routine veterinary expenses more predictable.
Even better, our Healthy Pet Plans save you between 12% and 25% compared to paying for services individually. Whether you choose to pay in full or spread payments out monthly, you'll still enjoy meaningful savings.
Wellness Plans vs. Pet Insurance
One of the most common questions we hear is whether a wellness plan is the same as pet insurance. While both can be valuable, they serve very different purposes.
Pet insurance is designed to help cover unexpected accidents, illnesses, and emergencies. It can be an excellent safety net when the unforeseen happens.
A wellness plan, on the other hand, focuses on your pet's routine and preventive care. It covers the services your pet needs regularly, such as exams, vaccinations, diagnostic testing, dental care, and parasite prevention. Rather than reimbursing you after treatment, wellness plans help you proactively budget for your pet's annual care while providing significant savings.
Many pet owners find that a wellness plan and pet insurance work beautifully together—one helps manage preventive care, while the other offers protection against life's surprises.
