The vet cancelled my kitten’s spay without even calling. When I showed up and advised I got no heads up, the woman I talked to had an attitude about it and said “I’m just a girl who works here”.

The only decent thing about this place is the prices/plans they offer. Otherwise, I really struggle with them. It takes me calling them AT LEAST 10 times just to ask for a prescription refill. And then on top of that, if the specific veterinarian isn't in that day, they won't even call it in. What is the point of having everything listed in my dog's profile if only one doctor (who is there maybe once a week) can get it refilled?
I should not have to be put on hold over 5 times or not even have someone answer my phone call to ask for something so simple.

Everyone was super kind and helped my cat Junkrat feel safe and comfortable. We went to get his vaccines for the first time and they were able to get all the testing and vaccines done quickly.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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