Gorgeous Oakley is a 10 year old working-line Golden Retriever, diagnosed with spondylosis — degenerative joint disease of the spine — at a young age, and arthritis in several other joints as he's got older. Despite his conditions, he has remained an incredibly fit and active dog.
His owners joined the Pet Wellness Plan knowing he would need regular vet attention and tick protection over the warmer months, and wanting to explore acupuncture and hydrotherapy. What they couldn't predict was an infected paw requiring very frequent treatment, or a fractured tooth — but the plan meant none of that created financial anxiety.
Oakley also had stem cell therapy this year — and by saving so much through the PWP on his routine care, his owners had more funds available to invest in treatments that genuinely improve his quality of life.
