Optimum Wellness Plans® are bundled preventive petcare
Optimum Wellness Plans are year-long preventive veterinary care packages for dogs and cats. They bundle routine preventive petcare, including comprehensive exams, recommended vaccinations, diagnostic testing, and access to Pet Chat™*, into monthly or yearly payments.
You can save 30% or more with an Optimum Wellness Plan for your furry friend.
Minimum average savings of 30%. Savings are based on our individual service prices compared to discounted service prices in an Optimum Wellness Plan. Savings are based on using all services included in a plan.
Not insurance – it’s an Optimum Wellness Plan
Your pet’s OWP helps make petcare easier. With insurance, you pay a premium and hope your pet’s services are reimbursed. With an OWP, you pay in monthly or yearly installments for a package of preventive care services like vaccines, physical exams, and more.
Customizations to make your pet’s plan go further
Your pet is unique and their plan should be too. Customizations for OWPs let you tailor their care with discounted products and services like parasite protection, dental care, additional diagnostics, and more. See Optimum Wellness Plan customizations for dogs and cats
Optimum Wellness Plans FAQ
What is a Banfield Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are year-long preventive veterinary care packages for dogs and cats. They bundle routine preventive petcare, including comprehensive exams, recommended vaccinations, diagnostic testing, and access to Pet Chat™, into affordable monthly or yearly payments.
Is there an enrollment fee for an Optimum Wellness Plan?
There is no upfront enrollment fee for Optimum Wellness Plans. You’re responsible for the total cost of your selected plan, which can be paid monthly or annually depending on what works best for your budget.
Can I use my Optimum Wellness Plan at any Banfield location?
Yes. Your Optimum Wellness Plan can be used at any Banfield Pet Hospital location nationwide. You can access your pet’s plan benefits, medical records, and appointments through MyBanfield or the Banfield app.
Can I cancel my Optimum Wellness Plan early, and what happens if I do?
Optimum Wellness Plans are annual plans that spread the cost of your pet’s preventive care over 12 equal monthly payments. If you cancel before the end of your plan term, you may be responsible for the difference between the retail cost of services already used and the payments made toward the plan.
Does my Optimum Wellness Plan renew automatically each year?
Optimum Wellness Plans that are paid monthly can be set to automatically renew each year to help keep your pet’s preventive care on track. You can turn off automatic renewal through your MyBanfield account.
Annual payment plans do not automatically renew, so you can choose to enroll again when your plan term ends. Check your plan agreement for specific renewal details.
How do I choose the right package for my pet’s species and life stage?
The right Optimum Wellness Plan depends on your pet’s species, age, health needs, and recommended preventive care. Banfield offers plans designed for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior pets. You can compare plans here, and a veterinarian will help you review which one is right for your pet before you finalize your OWP.
Is an Optimum Wellness Plan pet insurance?
Nope! Optimum Wellness Plans are not pet insurance. They’re designed around preventive care rather than covering unexpected accidents or illnesses. (However, we still treat sick or injured pets — just make an appointment!) OWP packages bundle preventive veterinary services into a predictable payment plan, making it easier to budget for your pet's ongoing care throughout the year. Read more about the differences
Can I pay monthly or annually?
Yes. Optimum Wellness Plans can be paid monthly or annually. Monthly payments can help spread out the cost of preventive care, while annual payment allows you to pay for the plan upfront.
Are office visits really unlimited?
Yes. Optimum Wellness Plans include unlimited office visits, meaning you will not be charged the exam fee during a visit when a veterinarian sees your pet. However, services, treatments, medications, diagnostic testing, and procedures will still incur a cost unless they're included in your Optimum Wellness Plan.
How much can I save with a plan compared with paying for each service separately?
Optimum Wellness Plans® help make routine veterinary care more affordable by bundling preventive services into one plan. Members have a minimum average savings of 30% compared with individual service prices when using all services included in their plan.
Savings are based on the difference between retail individual service prices and the discounted prices included with an Optimum Wellness Plan®. Actual savings depend on your pet’s plan and use of included services.
