UPDATE: WELLNESS PLANS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
Due to continued issues with the wellness plan service provider, we are unfortunately unable to process any new sign ups for wellness plans. Please check back for updates.Kitten Wellness Plans
These all inclusive plans are everything you need to give your kitten a great start!Congratulations! You have a new kitten which is exciting, tiring, and can be a little scary! Don’t worry, we are here to help clarify and debunk all of the rumors, myths, and, well, nonsense that is so prevalent on the internet, with unsolicited advice, and cut through the marketing claims at the pet stores. We have lots of info and blog posts about what vaccines we recommend and when they should get them.
We have kitten packages which are inclusive of what every kitten needs to get them through their first year of life. It includes all of their exams at Coastal during their first year in case you are worried that they may have swallowed the entire feather toy thinking they caught a tasty little bird. We also have packages that include a neuter or spay if they haven’t already completed that rite of passage.
What is not included in these Wellness plans is pet insurance. We highly recommend purchasing pet insurance prior to your first appointment as many plans have a 14 day waiting period before any benefits kick in. Our recommended companies are: 1. PetPlan 2. Pumpkin and 3. ASPCA Complete Coverage. Read our blog post which discusses the pros and cons of each company.
A one time $50 administrative fee is applied at plan initiation. This fee is waived if the plan is paid in full at the time of signing up.
NB: Services performed prior to the day of activating a wellness plan cannot be retroactively applied.

How to save money on dentals (and keep your pet healthier)
Lets’ talk about at-home dental care. We spent the first couple months of this year performing dentals done to get your pet’s mouth clean and get them back to square one. However, once they then leave the hospital, the plaque and calculus starts to build up again. So, it is my goal is to then start at-home oral health care to prevent the accumulation of plaque and calculus to keep their gums healthier for longer and extend the time between their next dental.
Xylitol toxicity in dogs – a “natural” killer
Xylitol is a natural sugar substitute and it’s used in a lot of human products. The problem, though, is that this substance is extremely toxic to dogs. It became a big problem when we started finding it in substances like peanut butter because we use peanut butter all the time to give to dogs as a reward or to hide a pill. This is a great example of how a natural substance can be safe for humans, but is not always safe for our pets. So remember, just because it’s natural, doesn’t mean it’s safe.
