We believe that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is not just a saying - it is a reality of healthy living for your pet. In that spirit, we have created a program that enables and incentivizes both veterinarians and pet owners to pursue proactive health care rather than reactive health care. Elevate Pet Health wellness plans feature easy plan structuring, age and species recommendations, and simplified payment processing to reduce or eliminate traditional wellness barriers.
Wellness plans offer significant benefits compared to both the traditional model of pet care and insurance plans. Among the most impactful benefits wellness plans provide are baseline examination and testing, dental evaluation and care, early identification of changes in health status, and the elimination of future guesswork in the event of the deterioration of your pet’s health. Furthermore, when you embark upon a wellness plan you get all the services you pay for rather than an insurance premium that may or may not ever be used.
The concept of baseline examination and testing has proven to be invaluable to modern veterinary care. By physically examining and running routine diagnostics when your pet is healthy, it allows the veterinarian to establish a “baseline” of what is normal for your pet. Once the baseline is established, deviations from a normal presentation are not only much easier to detect but also specific to your pet and not based upon a “predetermined normal” for a general category of pets.
The importance of dental health has come to the forefront of veterinary medicine in the recent decades. The positive relationship of dental health to overall systemic health is now firmly established. Frequent dental examination allows the veterinarian to help guide you, the pet owner, through strategies of better care that are specific to your pet. Maintenance of good dental health is necessary to optimize your pet’s quality of life.
Finally, through early and consistent wellness care it is possible for the veterinarian to identify changes in health status of your pet well in advance of traditional sick care. When combined with baseline testing, this concept allows the veterinarian to make positive interventions while simultaneously eliminating much of the guesswork associated with sick care.
At Elevate Pet Health we are rooted in this belief. We have made it our mission to provide the veterinary community a simple, customizable and affordable way to ensure that your four-legged friend is provided with best in class care that is tailored to their unique needs.
