Preventive care and
peace of mind —
all year round.

Gorgeous Oakley is a 10 year old working-line Golden Retriever, diagnosed with spondylosis — degenerative joint disease of the spine — at a young age, and arthritis in several other joints as he's got older. Despite his conditions, he has remained an incredibly fit and active dog.

His owners joined the Pet Wellness Plan knowing he would need regular vet attention and tick protection over the warmer months, and wanting to explore acupuncture and hydrotherapy. What they couldn't predict was an infected paw requiring very frequent treatment, or a fractured tooth — but the plan meant none of that created financial anxiety.

Oakley also had stem cell therapy this year — and by saving so much through the PWP on his routine care, his owners had more funds available to invest in treatments that genuinely improve his quality of life.

Purdie is a gorgeous 12½ year old cat and close neighbour of the practice. We diagnosed her with arthritis — something that affects around 80% of cats over 10 years old — and prescribed a monthly injection to keep her comfortable.

Her owner joined the Pet Wellness Plan, which means all her monthly injection appointments are included with no additional charge. We also apply her flea, tick and worm treatment at those appointments — removing the stress of trying to do it at home.

Most significantly: the routine blood screening included in the senior plan for cats over 10 years old revealed that Purdie had hyperthyroidism. If left untreated, this condition can cause severe progressive organ damage, heart disease, high blood pressure and blindness. Because we caught it early, Purdie is now comfortable, healthy and closely monitored.

Purdie's story is a perfect example of why we include health screening for senior pets — not as an upsell, but because early detection genuinely changes outcomes.
