Banfield Wellness Plan Cost
Optimum Wellness Plan for Puppies?
We just took our puppy to Banfield and they were extremely nice, the vet was nice, they explained a lot to us (even though the techs were kinda slow and seemed like they were not sure of what they were doing, I researched what needed to be done and why, so I was sure they wouldn’t try and take advantage of me). So, of course I know they need to sell a certain amount of wellness plans per month, but is it worth it for a very healthy pet? It cost us 94$ today for the intial visit, rabies vaccine, 1st distemper, and dewormer. I plan on getting him frontline and heartguard and also getting him neutered. He is very healthy, and everything with him was fine, I declined for the intestinal parasite test because it just seemed unecessary, and even the vet agreed. I told them I would think about the wellness plan, but I don’t know if it would be worth it or not. Does anyone have any opinions?
It is generally worth the cost if it includes neutering him. I don’t believe wellness plans include Frontline though. You’re right, Vets (like every other business these days) are always looking for ways to increase their income; even if you opt not to get the wellness plan, continue to be aware of what services are necessary and what services are not. By the way, you can buy your puppy’s shots at a Feed store and administer them yourself (if you’re up to it). Oh, assuming it is available in your state (I’m in California). The only shot we can not give ourselves is Rabies – it must be administered by a licensed vet. I pay about $10 per puppy shot – just tell the feed store which # shot in the puppy series you are on and they will sell you the appropriate shot.
I’m glad to hear you plan to neuter your puppy, this is one of the most important things to do – it will help your pet lead a healthier life in the long run and save you a lot of frustration by eliminating his need to mark his territory with urine (pee all over everything in your house), which leads to a much happier relationship between you and your pet.
Good luck!
