Warrenton Animal Hospital offers Kitten, Adult, and Senior Feline plans, and Puppy, Adult, and Senior Canine plans, encompassing all your cat’s or dog’s preventative care annual needs, as well as Pet Flexible Spend Allowance for additional needs like dental cleaning, sick visits and more. If you don’t need your Flexible Spend Allowance during your plan year, 75% of the unused balance rolls over to the next plan year.
You can use any product your vet recommends for your pet for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. And you can still get reimbursed! Simply pay in-hospital and then submit your receipt for reimbursement! We reimburse preventatives purchased outside of the plan at the plan rate.

It also allows you to have better financial control and predictability regarding your pet’s healthcare spend.
No. Unlike traditional pet insurance, this primary care plan is designed to help pet parents afford primary wellness care, as well as provide a pet Flexible Spend Allowance. Normally, the majority of your annual expected pet health expenses are not covered by pet insurance. A primary care plan also has no breed, age, or preexisting condition restrictions! This is a subscription-based plan designed by Warrenton Animal Clinic and allows you to budget for your pet’s expenses via a monthly primary care subscription plan.
Warrenton Animal Clinic is excited to offer our canine (puppy, adult, senior) and feline (kitten, adult, senior) plans to all pet parents. It’s one of the ways we want to say thank you!
When a male dog is neutered at the recommended age, he is much less likely to develop aggressive and territorial behavior patterns. When a male dog is not neutered, he may become prone to “marking his territory” with urine, (very problematic for indoor dogs!), prone to running away from home in search of a female, and prone to fighting with other dogs. He may develop a tendency to exhibit aggressive behavior towards people. Intact male dogs are also at risk for testicular cancer.
Intact male dogs can smell the scent of a female in heat from a great distance and will travel to her, so we highly recommend spaying your female dog to reduce the risk of an accidental pregnancy. Intact female dogs are also at risk to develop pyometra, (an infection of the uterus). The bleeding from a heat cycle can also be problematic for indoor dogs.
We typically recommend spaying and neutering puppies and kittens between 5 and 6 months of age.
