You can save more than 30% with a dog Optimum Wellness Plan.
Optimum Wellness Plans for dogs are year-long veterinary care packages that support your dog's ongoing preventive care through their adult and senior years. They bundle services, including comprehensive exams, routine vaccinations, diagnostic testing, unlimited office visits, and access to Pet Chat™*, into convenient monthly or annual payments.
We know the care doesn’t stop after the puppy stage. Adult dogs still need regular preventive care to stay healthy, and as dogs get older, they often need more checkups, testing, and monitoring to help them feel their best. Optimum Wellness Plans help make that ongoing care more affordable, with more than 30% in savings*, plus predictable monthly or annual payments that make it easier to budget for your dog’s care year after year.
Customizations to make your dog’s plan go further
Because every dog is unique, we have customizations that let you personalize their Optimum Wellness Plan for their health and lifestyle. Choose packages of discounted products and services to add to their OWP. Explore OWP customizations

Dog Optimum Wellness Plan FAQ
Does the plan help manage chronic conditions like arthritis or allergies?
Optimum Wellness Plans® focus on preventive care, but customizations are available to help support pets with certain diagnosed chronic conditions. Your Banfield veterinary team can recommend additional monitoring or testing based on your dog's health needs and ongoing treatment plan. You can also use your plan discount on most other Banfield products and services.
Can I add a spay or neuter procedure to an adult dog’s plan?
Yes. A spay or neuter procedure can be added as a customization to your OWP. Your Banfield veterinary team can help you decide if your dog is a good candidate and the right timing.
Is a wellness plan worth it for a healthy adult dog?
Absolutely! Even adult dogs need routine preventive care to help them stay healthy. Optimum Wellness Plans bundle exams, routine vaccinations, diagnostic testing, and other preventive services into predictable monthly or annual payments, with a minimum average savings of 30%*.
Does my dog’s breed or size affect which package is right?
Nope! Your dog's breed and size are not as important as their age, health, lifestyle, and any existing medical conditions in determining the best wellness package. Your Banfield veterinary team can help you choose the Optimum Wellness Plan that's the best fit.
Can I change packages as my dog’s needs change?
Yes. As your dog ages or their health needs change, your Banfield veterinary team can recommend a different Optimum Wellness Plan that better fits their preventive care needs. Many pet owners switch packages as their dog enters a new life stage or requires additional monitoring.
Does the dog plan include professional dental cleaning?
A professional dental cleaning is included with Active Care Plus and Senior Care Plus Optimum Wellness Plans.
What is the difference between Active Care and Active Care Plus?
Both packages include routine preventive care, such as comprehensive exams, unlimited office visits, routine vaccinations, and diagnostic testing. Active Care Plus also includes a dental cleaning, additional diagnostic testing, and a higher plan discount on most other Banfield products and services.
Which vaccinations are included for adult dogs?
Adult Dog Optimum Wellness Plans® include routine vaccinations based on your dog's needs. This includes distemper/parvo, leptospirosis, Bordetella, Lyme, and rabies. Your veterinarian may recommend additional vaccinations based on your dog's lifestyle, travel, or risk factors.

Yes. The WISDOM PANEL™ Health DNA Test is available as an Optimum Wellness Plan customization for adult dogs. It screens for more than 150 genetic disease mutations and detects more than 350 dog breeds, types, and varieties to provide additional insight into your dog's genetic health and ancestry.
Can I add heartworm, flea, and tick prevention to my dog’s plan?
Yes. Parasite control is available as an OWP customization. It includes monthly prescription heartworm, flea, and tick prevention at a discounted price. You can have it conveniently shipped to your home through our online pharmacy, the Banfield Shop.
