Affordable routine care plans: Why proactive pet care matters

Last updated on

Written by Tiaan Dreyer

As pet owners, we all want to give our furry friends the best care possible. One often overlooked solution is proactive pet care – routine check-ups, and lifestyle adjustments to maintain long-term wellness.

Routine care plans in Australia, such as Knose’s Pet Care Plans, are designed to help you stay on top of your pet’s health.

We’ve all heard, “prevention is better than cure,” but what does that look like for pets? What exactly is routine care, and how does it differ from Pet Insurance in Australia? Let’s break it down.

Standard Pet Insurance policies don’t cover stuff like routine check-ups and dental cleaning, but routine care does!

What are routine care plans?

A routine care plan is a subscription-based service that covers routine health care needs for your pet.

Routine care plans may cover services that are usually not covered in pet insurance, such as vaccinations, worm and flea prevention, and regular veterinary checkups. Unlike pet insurance, which is made to cover unexpected medical expenses, Pet Care Plans focus on preventative care.

Benefits of Knose Pet Care Plans

Preventative pet care is a smart choice for pet parents who want to monitor their pet’s health ahead of any potential injury or illness . Here are some key benefits of the Knose Pet Care Plans:

A. Home-delivered parasite protection

  • Fleas
  • Ticks (including paralysis tick)
  • Heartworm
  • Intestinal worms (including tapeworm)*
  • Mange and Mites

*Inclusion depends on chosen plan

Fleas, ticks, and worms are common threats to pets at any age. In Australia, your pet can pick up paralysis ticks while they’re frolicking in bushland or long grass. That’s why staying on top of parasite prevention is crucial. 

With the Knose Pet Care Plan, you can protect your pet from the comfort of your home, where they feel most relaxed.

B. Veterinary care allowance

  • Allowance for any vet service: annual vaccinations, health, or dental check-ups (up to $100 total per year)
  • You choose the vet, get the treatment for your pet, and we reimburse you

Routine vet checkups are essential for catching potential health issues early. The Knose Pet Care Plan is designed to help pet parents get a full picture of their pet’s health.

Our annual veterinary care allowance helps you budget better for those important vet visits.

C. 24/7 Pet health hotline

  • Call a registered vet nurse at any time! Get emergency help, ask pet care questions or seek general pet health advice.

Pet owners know that emergencies can happen at any time. With Knose, you have access to a 24/7 pet health hotline, offering professional advice whenever you need it.

Have some questions about your pet’s health? Your pet’s experiencing issues late at night? Our team of registered vet nurses is just a call away – saving you time, energy, and money.

What pet owners are saying about Knose

Don’t just take our word for it! Here are some glowing feedback from satisfied customers who appreciate the convenience, cost savings, and peace of mind. 

  • “Having the Wellness Plan is great! I don’t have to worry about all the preventatives my pet needs to take! The package arrives when I need it and I have peace of mind knowing she is covered from nasties.”

  • T-Rex, my cat, went into diabetic shock, I didn’t know he was diabetic. Rather than paying for on-going consultations, it was better to sign up to the plan my vet offered. We have received lots of benefits, had bloods and urines done. It is good value for money and offers me peace of mind.

Pet care plan vs pet insurance: What’s the difference?

While both Pet Care Plans and pet insurance may offer money-saving benefits, they focus on different aspects of pet health. The Knose Pet Care Plan is designed for routine, preventative care.

Getting a pet wellness plan like this ensures your pet receives regular checkups, parasite control, and other essential services. 

Pet insurance, on the other hand, is meant to cover unexpected vet emergencies, surgeries, or illnesses.
