Banfield Optimum Wellness Plans
Banfield has four Optimum Wellness Plans (OWPs). The right plan for you depends on the type and age of your pet. Each plan also includes two or three different tiers to choose from depending on your desired covered level.[1]
Early Care
The Early Care package is for dogs and cats 6 months and younger and covers common preventative care needs of puppies and kittens. It includes two comprehensive physical exams and two virtual visits plus unlimited office visits, wellness coaching sessions, vaccinations, deworming, diagnostic testing, and more.
A 5% discount is available on most other Banfield products and services. And puppy owners can have one DNA test. Pet owners can choose to pay annually or split payments into 12 monthly installments. You can add more options to your monthly payment, like parasite control.
Early Care Plus
The Early Care Plus package includes everything in the Early Care package, plus spay or neuter surgery. Puppy and kitten owners who want the cost of their new furry friend’s spay or neuter surgery covered may want to consider this package.
This package offers 10% off additional services and products. And, like Early Care, pet parents can choose to pay annually or split payments into 12 monthly installments. You can also add more options to your monthly payment.
Active Care
The Active Care package is for dogs and cats older than 6 months. Active Care is Banfield’s most basic plan and includes preventive care, including office and virtual visits, wellness coaching sessions, vaccinations, diagnostic testing, deworming, and fecal exams.
You can purchase this yearlong package annually or split it into 12 monthly installments. In addition to preventive care coverage, you’ll also save 10% off other Banfield products and services.
Active Care Plus
Similar to Active Care, the Active Care Plus package is available to dogs and cats older than 6 months. The package is nearly identical to Active Care but includes some extras, like an annual preventative dental cleaning and urine testing.
Participants save 15% off other Banfield services and products. And you can pay for the package annually or split your payments into 12 monthly installments.
Special Care
Banfield’s Special Care package includes all the services in the Active Care Plus package, with some additional services for pets that might need more extensive care. Additional Special Care services for dogs include two urine tests, preventive X-rays (three views), two eye pressure tests, and two electrocardiograms.
Additional Special Care services for cats include two urine tests, preventive X-rays (three views), and additional diagnostic testing for heartworm and thyroid disease.
Dog and cat parents can also receive a 20% discount on most other Banfield products and services.
What Banfield Optimum Wellness Plans don’t cover
The OWPs from Banfield only cover preventive care at Banfield vet locations. They don’t cover accidents or illnesses.[2] You’ll need to pay out of pocket for those or purchase a separate pet insurance plan through a different pet insurance company.
Keep in Mind
Wellness coverage from Banfield varies by tier, so you should pay close attention to what each tier covers if you’re considering purchasing a plan for your pet. For example, the lowest tier for puppies and kittens doesn’t include spay or neuter surgery.
