How independent veterinary clinics compete with Banfield and corporate veterinary chains using visible wellness plan pricing.
Built specifically for veterinary practices. Wellness plan enrollment, client communication, and billing all in one system that replaces what most independents are stitching together.
Banfield Pet Hospital publishes wellness plan pricing at every PetSmart location, $44.95/month for dogs, $35.95/month for cats. Every independent veterinary clinic competing in the same market is competing against a visible price without one of their own. The pet owner who can find Banfield's price before deciding who to call has a concrete number to evaluate. Your clinic gives them nothing to compare.
67% of pet owners say they would enroll in a wellness plan if the price was visible and easy to find. The practices that publish wellness plan pricing consistently convert new clients at higher rates and retain them at 2.8x the rate of non-plan practices.
| Plan Type | Rural Market | Mid-Size Market | Metro Market | Key Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Wellness (annual vaccines + exam) | $199-$269 | $269-$349 | $349-$449 | Core vaccines, annual exam, fecal test |
| Comprehensive (basic + dental + blood panel) | $349-$449 | $449-$579 | $579-$749 | Basic plus dental cleaning, CBC, chemistry |
| Senior Pet Plan (enhanced diagnostics) | $449-$579 | $579-$729 | $729-$949 | Comprehensive plus senior bloodwork, urinalysis, BP |
| Multi-Pet Discount (per additional pet) | $149-$199 | $199-$259 | $259-$339 | 10-15% discount on additional pets |
Your basic wellness plan should cost the client slightly less than paying for the included services individually. Calculate your retail price for core vaccines plus your annual exam fee. Subtract 10-15%. That is your basic plan price. The discount is real. The retention and treatment revenue recover it within 6 months.
When a pet owner calls about your wellness plan, someone needs to answer. After-hours calls are especially critical.
