Only good thing is that they price match. Besides that, super unresponsive and slow. Their benefit plans also barely save you money and it’s $85 whenever you go in no matter what despite having a “benefit plan.” Just tried to follow up on my dogs cytology and called 5 times in a row, once they picked up and immediately hung up, once they put me on hold for 25 minutes, and the other 3 times they just didn’t pick up. Super unprofessional.

I just wrote one! The service is good; I could say that it is improving. It is more personal than before, and this time the vet called me to discuss my dog's condition. !! They hadn't done that in a long time!
Good service. I like it.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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