🐾🩺 A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Veterinary Medicine!🐶🐱

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Nyla, an 11th-grade student, to Van Crest Animal Hospital! 💙 Nyla spent time shadowing Dr. Nick and Dr. C and getting a firsthand look at what goes on behind the scenes in the veterinary world.

From learning about patient care to seeing the teamwork, dedication, and hard work that go into keeping our furry friends healthy, we hope this experience gave her a better understanding of what a career in veterinary medicine can look like! 🐾

We love opportunities like these to share our passion for animal care and encourage the next generation of veterinary professionals. Thank you for spending part of your day with us, Nyla! We wish you the very best as you continue exploring your interests and future career goals! 💕🐾

🎉We’re excited to share that we’re giving our Wellness Plans a fresh new look coming early 2027! 🎉

As part of our commitment to continually improving the care and experience we provide to our patients and their families, we’ve been working behind the scenes to revamp and enhance our Wellness Plan offerings. We’re looking forward to sharing more about these updates with you soon!

❗️As we prepare to introduce our new Wellness Plans, there is one important change we want to make you aware of: Current Wellness Plans will no longer automatically renew.❗️

If you currently have a Wellness Plan, there’s no need to worry — your existing plan and its benefits will remain active through the end of your current contract term. Your current coverage and benefits will not be affected by this change.

Once your current contract term ends, your plan will simply expire rather than automatically renewing. If you would like to participate in one of our new Wellness Plans, you will need to actively enroll and sign a new Wellness Plan agreement. You will not be automatically enrolled in a new plan.

If you’re currently enrolled in a Wellness Plan but aren’t sure when your contract term ends, please give our team a call at (803) 794-6550, and we’ll be happy to help you determine your plan’s end date.

Our new Wellness Plans will feature an updated experience designed with you and your pet in mind. We’re excited about the changes ahead and look forward to sharing more details about the new plans, benefits, and enrollment options as we get closer to launch.

For now, if you have a current Wellness Plan, no action is required. You can continue using your existing plan and benefits as you normally would through the end of your current contract term.

If you’re not currently enrolled in a Wellness Plan, stay tuned! We’ll be sharing more information about our new Wellness Plans and how you can enroll once they become available.

Thank you for trusting Van Crest Animal Hospital with your pet’s care. We’re grateful to be part of your pet’s health journey and are excited to continue finding new ways to support you and your pets.

If you have any questions, please give us a call at (803) 794-6550.
We can’t wait to share what’s next!
