4 Perks of Enrolling in a Pet Wellness Program
August 12, 2024 | Tags:
As humans, we routinely go to the doctor for physicals and check-ups to keep healthy and prevent issues from occurring down the road.
So why not do the same with our pets?
We love our animals and consider them members of our family. And like any loved one, you want them to be happy, safe and healthy. A pet wellness program can do just that! These types of programs focus on covering routine care services to keep your dog or cat healthy and around for years to come. Including this option as part of your company’s benefits package is a great way to take care of your furry companions.*
Check out four perks of enrolling in a pet wellness program:
1. Flexibility in choosing your vet
Finding the right veterinarian to care for your four-legged friend can be a daunting task. The last thing you want to worry about is if they’re in-network.
One advantage pet wellness programs have is allowing pet owners the flexibility and freedom of using the vet of their choice.
MedMutual Pet™, powered by Wagmo, offers reimbursement for out-of-pocket bills from any licensed vet or service provider in the U.S. Claims are reimbursed via quick-pay options like Venmo, PayPal or bank transfer for select preventive services only (more on these listed below).
Simply submit a picture of your receipt and your claim will be processed within 24 hours.
2. No restrictions here
Each pet is unique and should have a program that covers their needs, no matter the differences. So, you don’t want any restrictions when it comes to which dogs or cats can be included.
With most pet wellness programs, there are no restrictions on:
- Age
- Breed
- Pre-existing conditions
All fur babies are welcome!
3. A financial safety net
Let’s be honest: owning a pet can be expensive. This is especially true when it comes to common vet visits.
With pet wellness, you can easily budget your pet’s preventive care costs into your current finances. Non-preventative services are not covered under this plan.
4. Focus on your pet's health
Just like how keeping up with routine care improves your health and wellness, the same can be said for your pets.
Several routine care and check-up options are available for reimbursement, including:
- Routine exams (1 per year)
- Vaccines (2 per year)
- Routine bloodwork (1 per year)
- Fecal test (1 per year)
