A care club is just a membership your hospital owns —Run Your Own Care Club
Corporate veterinary groups package preventive care into a branded monthly club: a tier per life stage, a twelve-month agreement, automatic renewal. The mechanics are not complicated and they are not proprietary. What makes them work is that somebody asks every client to join, and the billing never needs a phone call.

What a care club is actually made of
Tiers by life stage, not by service menu
Puppy, kitten, adult, senior. Each one bundles the preventive care that life stage already needs at your normal fees. Clients decide in one sentence, which is exactly why the chains structure it this way instead of offering a menu.
A twelve-month agreement, signed at enrollment
The agreement is what separates a club from a discount. It sets the term, the monthly amount, what is included and what happens on renewal — signed digitally at the front desk in a couple of minutes.
Automatic renewal and automatic recovery
Plans renew on their anniversary unless the client cancels, and failed cards retry on a schedule before anyone picks up the phone. Most of the revenue lost in home-grown plans leaks out of exactly these two mechanics.
One number the whole team can see
Active members. Post it where the team sees it, review it weekly, and enrollment stops being an afterthought. Renewal rate, churn and monthly recurring revenue sit next to it in the dashboard.
Standing your club up
Pick three tiers and price them
Resist the urge to launch with six. Three or four tiers priced from your own fee schedule cover almost every household, and you can add specialty tiers once the first hundred members are enrolled.
Give the team one enrollment sentence
Every member starts with somebody asking. One sentence at checkout — what it covers, what it costs monthly, that it spreads the year out — outperforms any brochure. Scripts and enrollment campaigns come with onboarding.
Work your multi-pet households first
Each pet runs its own plan under one client account with a single consolidated charge. Two-pet households roughly double plan revenue per client and they are already in your database.
Review the member number weekly
Not monthly revenue, not visits — the member count. It is the only number that compounds, and the one a Success rep works with you on every month.

Care club questions
- What is a veterinary care club?
- It is a membership program that bundles a year of preventive care into monthly payments on a twelve-month agreement, usually tiered by life stage. Corporate groups popularized the format; any independent hospital can run one under its own brand and pricing.
- How is a care club different from a wellness plan?
- They are the same idea under different brand names — prepaid preventive care billed monthly. What varies is who owns the plan, who sets the price and who keeps the member relationship.
- How many tiers should I launch with?
- Three or four. Puppy or kitten, adult and senior covers nearly every client, and fewer choices at the front desk means faster enrollment. Add more once the program is established.
- What stops clients from cancelling after one expensive visit?
- The twelve-month agreement, and the fact that the value is front-loaded into care they will use anyway. Renewal rate is reported in the dashboard so you can see the pattern rather than guess at it.
- Do I need a separate system to run this?
- You need something that handles tiers, agreements, recurring billing, renewals, failed-payment recovery and reporting. BoomCloud™ does that beside your existing practice information management system — your clinical records and scheduling do not move.
- Who owns the members?
- Your hospital. Your brand on the plan, your terms, your pricing, and a client list you can export on any day of the contract.
