how to customize your Banfield wellness plan
Our Optimum Wellness Plans and Banfield Access Plan make preventive petcare simpler, packed with essentials like vaccinations and comprehensive exams.
But did you know you can build your pet’s wellness plan to include customizations for their unique needs and lifestyle?
Why Banfield wellness plan customizations?
Choosing the right customization starts with your pet’s health needs, lifestyle, and risk factors.
For example, pets who spend more time outdoors or visit parks, boarding facilities, or grooming salons may benefit from additional parasite protection or vaccines.
Pets with ongoing health conditions may benefit from chronic care customizations.

How to add your Banfield wellness plan customizations
Your Banfield team can help guide you through your wellness plan options during your pet’s visit. They’ll consider your pet’s age, breed, medical history, and daily environment (for example, if they frequently come in contact with other dogs) to recommend customizations that support their health.
This can help your pet get the right level of care — without you having to pay for services they don’t need.
Customizing is easy
Customizing your plan is easy and flexible. As your pet’s needs change over time, you can revisit your options and adjust the customizations to match their current health and lifestyle.
Whether you’re supporting a growing puppy, an active adult dog, or a senior sweetie with specific health needs, your pet’s wellness plan can evolve right along with them.
