Petflex, a wellness plan, or pet insurance

1488 Petflex, the 1488 Wellness Plans, and pet insurance are three different ways to pay for pet care. FM 1488 offers the first two. Petflex is not insurance.

What is 1488 Petflex?

1488 Petflex is a household membership at FM 1488 Animal Medical Center. It is $50 a month for every pet in the house. There are no per-pet fees.

Each month you get two things:

• $55 in Care Rewards. This credit is added to your account the day you join, and again on each billing date. Spend it on anything at this clinic: exams, vaccines, dental, medications, and more. Care Rewards roll over and never expire. The $55 is added to your balance. It is not a discount off a service.
• One exam, valued at up to $68. The exam is good until your next billing date. Use it, or gift it to a friend who is not a client yet. Unused exams do not roll over.

Together that is up to $123 in care for $50. You can pause up to 6 months, or cancel anytime. There is nothing to file, and no one has to approve your care first. See the full membership page.

What are the 1488 Wellness Plans?

Our 1488 Wellness Plans, powered by Snout, cover wellness and preventive care for adult and senior dogs and cats. They are separate from Petflex, and the two can be combined for added benefits.

At this clinic, an adult wellness visit includes a physical exam, wellness bloodwork and urinalysis, vaccines as needed, a dental assessment, heartworm and parasite screening, and nutrition recommendations. Senior plans start at 5 years of age. We recommend a wellness exam at least once per year. The wellness plans cover wellness and preventive care for adult and senior dogs and cats. Cat and dog wellness plans start at $49 a month.

How is Petflex different from pet insurance?

Petflex is a membership, not insurance. Care Rewards and the monthly exam are for your pet's care at FM 1488. There is nothing to file, and no one at the clinic has to approve the care before you get it.

A pet insurance policy is a different product. Petflex does not become insurance because you join, and the Care Rewards on your account are for this clinic.

Which one fits?

You want credit at this clinic for every pet

Petflex is one plan for the household. Care Rewards can be spent on any care here, and they do not expire. You can use them while your Petflex plan is active or paused.

You want preventive care for an adult or senior dog or cat

The 1488 Wellness Plans, powered by Snout, are built for wellness and preventive care. They can be combined with a Petflex membership for added benefits.

Thinking about pet insurance?

Petflex is not insurance, and there is nothing to file for care at FM 1488. If you want a policy as well, these two comparison sites let you compare plans. We don't sell insurance or favor any company.

Can you use them together?

Yes, you can use your Petflex Membership and Wellness plans together to care for your pets. There would be two or more monthly payments, one for your Petflex account and one for each wellness plan you enroll in.
