For veterinary practices
One big annual bill is why clients skip preventive care —Vet Payment Plans
A vet payment plan spreads the preventive care a pet already needs across twelve predictable monthly payments. The hospital gets recurring revenue it can count on; the client gets care they never have to postpone over a surprise invoice. Veterinary payment plans go by several names — payment plan, wellness plan, care club — but the mechanic is the same: your hospital's own care, billed monthly.

Practices and hospitals on BoomCloud have added over 1,000 members to their wellness plans — recurring revenue that renews every month, no insurance company in the middle.
RECURRING REVENUE DASHBOARD
The competitive reality
Corporate consolidators run membership playbooks. Independents need one too.
Banfield Optimum Wellness Plans and VCA CareClub are already teaching pet owners to buy preventive care as a monthly plan. An independent hospital should not have to surrender the relationship to compete. Build the same recurring-care habit under your own brand, with your own pricing, care revenue, and client list staying with your hospital.
How vet payment plans work
You bundle the care, you set the price
Add up the exams, vaccines, and diagnostics a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior pet already needs in a year at your normal fees. Divide by twelve. That monthly number becomes the plan — priced by your hospital, not a vendor.
The client pays you, not a finance company
Unlike CareCredit or third-party financing, a payment plan is a direct agreement between your hospital and the client. No credit application at the front desk, no interest promotions to explain, and the relationship stays yours.
Billing runs without a phone call
Monthly charges bill automatically, failed payments retry on a schedule, and plans renew on their anniversary. Your team enrolls a client in about two minutes and never chases a card again.
Multi-pet households are the multiplier
Households with two or more pets enroll each pet on its own plan under one client account with a single consolidated monthly charge — typically doubling plan revenue per client.
Wellness plan or payment plan — your hospital picks the name
Many hospitals sell the same mechanic as a wellness plan: one monthly membership bundling exams, vaccines, diagnostics, and often a dental cleaning into puppy, adult, and senior tiers. BoomCloud supports both — you define the bundles, the tiers, and the renewal.

Best used for
- Your wellness plan
- Preventive care clients renew every year
- A hospital payment plan
- A large bill the client can't pay at once
- Third-party financing
- Emergency care without a credit application
- Pet insurance
- Coverage, not routine care
A hospital payment plan and a wellness plan are both agreements between your hospital and the client — BoomCloud bills both. Pet insurance is not a substitute for preventive care: it pays after a claim, and a client who only carries insurance still has no reason to book the wellness visit. A plan is that reason.
Launching a plan at your hospital
01
Price your tiers
Build puppy, kitten, adult, and senior plans from the services you already deliver. The AI plan builder publishes your first tier in under an hour, and our team reviews your pricing before launch.
02
Start at the puppy and kitten visit
The first vaccination series is the natural enrollment moment — the client is already committed to a year of preventive care and the plan simply makes it affordable.
03
Offer it to your wellness-gap clients
Your own database shows which clients skipped a preventive visit last year. They are the warmest list you have, and a plan gives them a reason to come back on schedule.
04
Watch recurring revenue climb
Active plans, renewal rate, and monthly recurring revenue land in one live dashboard, alongside visit frequency for members versus non-members.

Vet payment plan questions
- Is a vet payment plan the same as pet insurance?
- No. A payment plan is a prepaid preventive care package sold by your hospital — exams, vaccines, and diagnostics the pet will use anyway, spread over twelve payments. Pet insurance is a third-party product for accidents and illness. Many clients carry both, and the two do not compete.
- What is typical veterinary payment plan pricing?
- Plans commonly run $30–$70 per month depending on species and life stage, priced so the twelve payments cover the included preventive care at your normal fees. You set the tiers — most hospitals publish a puppy, kitten, adult, and senior plan.
- How is this different from CareCredit or financing?
- Financing lends the client money to pay you a lump sum, with credit applications and interest terms you do not control. A payment plan is your own product: the client pays your hospital monthly for care you have already defined. There is no credit application and no third party taking a cut.
- What happens when a payment fails?
- Automated retries recover most failed cards without anyone picking up the phone, and the dashboard flags the accounts that need a human follow-up. You always know which plans are current and which need attention.
- Can one client cover multiple pets?
- Yes. Each pet runs its own plan under a single client account with one consolidated monthly charge — the standard setup for multi-pet households.
- Does this replace my practice management system?
- No. BoomCloud™ runs the plan and billing layer alongside your existing practice information management system — you import your client list and keep your records where they are. The software fee plus a per-member portion built into membership dues funds security, support, and platform capacity as your plan scales.
