Terrible service. One full week waiting for an ear infection med to be approved online, until my dog developed pus in his ear. Not one call back. Negligence and incompetence at its highest, Stay away from this place.

Dont make any online appointments here. They will cancel you if it is an inconvenience and will not tell you. I scheduled for Sunday Oct 26 at 12:30pm online, showed up and was then told my appointment did not appear on the schedule. I know they cancelled me because someone at the location had called prior to my appointment for that reason, they claim the online system is not in tune with their actual system but after calling corporate they confirmed this is a lie. Don’t waste valuable time going to this location . 0 solutions were offered aside from scheduling for another day. Also appointments still show as available online but honestly it’s not worth it to even try at this point.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are designed to provide annual preventive care. They include head-to-tail exams, vaccines, early screening diagnostics, consultations for proper nutrition, dental care and more! Since wellness plans are not insurance, they do not include treatment for unpredictable or abnormal conditions, however discounts would apply. Because pets need ongoing preventive care, wellness plans automatically renew at the end of each twelve month period (unless paid in full at enrollment).
How do I pay for an Optimum Wellness Plan?
You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
• In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
• Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
