Preventative healthcare plans are a common, if not an essential tool required in order to achieve widespread client compliance with preventative healthcare on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, it is has been repeatedly demonstrated that clients whose pets are a member of a practice's healthcare plan, consistently spend more per annum than clients who have not signed up to the healthcare plan.
This increased spend isn’t simply a reflection of the increased commitment to preventative healthcare products and services; it reflects the stronger bond clients have with the practice which results in more frequent visits when their pets are ill or injured.
Whilst most practices have some form of Preventative healthcare plan nowadays, many struggle to achieve significant rates of penetration amongst their patient base.
This tutorial is one of a series that helps veterinary surgeons understand some of the common reasons why veterinary practices do not achieve as many signups as they would like.

Whilst veterinary practice is often a thrilling and enjoyable environment to work in, it is also an emotionally unsettling environment. This is because delivering veterinary service and care incorporates many of the themes that lead to unsettled emotional weather, a state otherwise known as dysphoria. Like unsettled weather patterns, feelings of dysphoria are inevitable – and indeed beneficial – at least to some degree. Similarly, they can pass quickly or hang around for longer than is comfortable and even become as established as an adverse climate of compromised mental health.
