A Comprehensive Guide to Our Wellness Plans

Caring for your pet means managing their health—and their expenses. Regular health checkups and good prevention are key to a long, happy life for your furry friend. Preventive healthcare helps catch health issues early and keeps costs down. At Friendship Hospital for Animals, we offer top-notch wellness plans designed to protect your pet’s health and boost their quality of life.  

Why Choose a Wellness Plan? 

A wellness plan can cover the cost of your pet’s annual care for a one-time discounted fee. Our wellness plans have been uniquely created for our primary care patients and are managed by our in-house administrative staff.  Our plan options include puppy/kitten and canine and feline adult and mature. 

Friendship has been a trusted name in Washington, DC since 1936. Our team of experienced vets and caring staff have built a reputation for quality care. When you choose us, you choose peace of mind from a team that truly cares. 

Cost Savings and Value of Wellness Plans 

A wellness plan bundles essential services into one affordable package. Instead of paying separate bills for vaccinations, exams, and tests, you’ll enjoy a clear, predictable cost. This means fewer surprise bills down the road. Our plans include routine checkups, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and basic diagnostics as well as discounts on Emergency and Specialty exams.
