That's what I initially had in mind for Bri.

But glad this has worked out!

Heh, I get to talk about work. Good thing, as I'm having major contractions right now and the baby might come tonight, so this is a good distraction.

Yes, Banfield has wellness plans, BUT if the cat is over 6 months of age it will not cover the spay, and she would be enrolled into an adult plan. The plans are for a year, and you are bound to the contract even if something happens to the pet...you get rid of the animal, it passes away, runs away etc. There is a one time membership fee, and it varies based on what plan you choose. There are 4 plans, Primary, Basic, Basic Plus and Optimum. If it's an adult cat the Basic Plus plans covers a set of blood work, as does the Basic, though now that they just changed things if you go with a Basic Plus plan the cat can only use the blood work during a dental procedure, which may not be a bad thing is the cat also needs a dental cleaning. It will also cover vaccines, though unfortunately it no longer covers FIV/FELV testing and they swapped that out for the feline heartworm antigen test. Sorry if there are typos...kind of painful at the moment. You get free office calls for the whole year, and depending on what plan you enroll on you get a certain percentage off services that are not covered under the plan, such as medications etc. They also cover general deworming, but deworming for tapeworms isn't included.

Trying to breathe...need anymore info. I got lots more where that came from. That's just a basic overview. Oh ya, there's a one time membership fee and then you pay a certain amount per months depending on which plan you choose, and it's automatic deduction. So like, VISA, Mastercard, Discover, checking or savings, or you can choose to pay the plan year in full.
