New AAHA, Petplan Program Aims to Insure More Pets

A new insurance offering from AAHA and Petplan aims to bring more options for pet owners facing major illness- or accident-related veterinary expenses.

Dog in e-collarThe American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and Petplan pet insurance have joined forces, revealing this week the AAHA Pet Health Insurance Program.

Offered by Petplan, the program is designed to help clients pay for unexpected expenses associated with illnesses and accidents.

Under the agreement, Petplan will be the preferred insurance provider of AAHA, handling enrollment, underwriting, administrative support, and claims management for the program. Petplan is one of the largest pet insurance providers in North America, currently insuring more than 1 million pets. Twelve to 15% of veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada are accredited by AAHA.

We are proud to be an accredited animal hospital by the American Animal Hospital Association.

In the news!

The FDA has issued a warning about the Isoxazoline class of flea and tick medications (Bravecto, Nexgard, Simparica and Credelio) today. The FDA wants consumers and veterinarians to know this “class” drug has warnings with wobbly walk, seizures, muscle tremors and neurological issues.

We have used Bravecto, Simparica and Nexgard on many hundreds of our patients and did not see any tremors, seizures or any neurological problems in any one of them.

Merck Animal Health, manufacturer of “Bravecto “ has informed us that they will continue to stand firmly behind the safety in their product Bravecto. Further, they state that they have prescribed over 80 million doses in 85 countries since launch and neurological signs including seizures has been very rare.

Idiosyncrasies do occur with all drugs and some may show adverse effects.

We need to be vigilant. We do request all of our pet owners to keep a close eye when administering any medications and report any adverse effects to us immediately.
