Helping You Say “Yes” to the Care Your Pet Deserves
We get it—vet visits can be overwhelming, especially when it feels like everything is due at once. Annual exams, vaccines, bloodwork, fecal tests, parasite prevention—it adds up fast. At Ralston Vet, we know pet care is a priority, but we also understand that life (and budgets) are real. That’s why we offer Care Plans—a simple, flexible way to get your pet everything they need without the financial stress of doing it all in one day.
What Is a Care Plan?
Our Care Plans are not pet insurance. They’re more like a subscription that covers your pet’s essential preventive care throughout the year—with the added benefit of letting you pay in manageable monthly installments.
Each plan includes:
- Annual Exam
- Vaccines
- Routine Bloodwork
- Fecal Test
- 12 months of Heartworm Prevention
- Additional Exams – When accidents or illness happens
You can also customize your plan to include flea & tick prevention or even a dental procedure, depending on what your pet needs this year. The plan renews automatically when those services are due again next year—only if you choose to continue.
Why It Matters—for You and Your Pet
Many pet parents want to do what’s best but feel stuck when cost becomes a barrier. Our Care Plans make it easier to say “yes” to recommended care without worrying about a big bill all at once. And when pet parents can follow through on all parts of their care plan, their pets benefit too—from more consistent prevention to early detection of health concerns.
We’ve seen it firsthand: clients who typically hold off on things like bloodwork or parasite testing now feel confident moving forward—because it’s already covered in their plan.
Common Questions (You’re Not Alone!)
We hear a lot of great questions, especially from pet parents who are exploring Care Plans for the first time. Here are a few quick answers:
- Is this insurance?
No—it’s not based on eligibility or coverage approval. These plans simply bundle preventive services into one predictable monthly payment. - Can I pay off my plan early?
Yes, you can! Just let our team know if that’s your preference. - Can services be shared between pets?
Each plan is customized per pet to meet their needs. Services aren’t shared between pets, but we do offer multiple pet families flexibility with multi-plan options. - Do I need to monitor anything once I’m enrolled?
Not really! We’ll help you manage everything—just be sure the payment method stays active to avoid late fees.
A Simple Way to Stay Ahead
In today’s changing economy, we know affordability and planning are more important than ever. Our Care Plans are designed with that in mind. They allow you to take a proactive, consistent approach to your pet’s health, without surprises or skipped services due to cost. Whether you choose to pay monthly or in full, you’ll still get all the benefits and peace of mind.
Real Talk: What to Know Up Front
As with anything, we want to be transparent. The Care Plan includes an enrollment fee to help cover the cost of setting up and managing your plan. It’s important that clients understand what’s included, how billing works, and that monthly payments are automatic. We’re here to walk you through every detail and make sure it’s a good fit.
And here’s something you might not know—not every veterinary clinic offers this kind of support. We’re proud to be one of the clinics making preventive care easier and more accessible for our pet families.
