Not insurance — it’s an Optimum Wellness Plan

Your cat’s OWP helps to make petcare easier with a smart package of preventive petcare services. With insurance, you pay a premium and hope your pet’s services are reimbursed. With an OWP, you pay in monthly or yearly installments for the package of services included in your pet’s OWP, each designed to deliver routinely-recommended preventive care like vaccines, physical exams, and more.

Options to easily add parasite control

Parasites are bad. Ask your Banfield vet about year-long protection against fleas, ticks, worms, and more. You can even add the discounted cost to your monthly OWP payment.
