Had a wonderful experience with this morning with Christopher at the fort lauderdale office.
I have the most difficult cat and he is a known terrorist at the vet but Christopher was able to work with Jackson and get his vaccines done
He's fantastic and deserves a raise for working with my baby lion 🦁.

Kyle should be promoted to president of your company. He is the kindest young man and he should be rewarded. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I will never forget his generosity and kindness towards my family and our dog, Gracie, during our time of need. He literally took out his credit card and helped us pay for our dog's urgent care when we were struggling. I will never forget Kyle and I will pay it forward when we get on our feet here in fort lauderdale. I cant thank Kyle enough. Im still crying in disbelief that a stranger could be so kind. Stay in veterinary care Kyle. You are an amazing young man 💙

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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.
