Wellness Plans

Wellness plans are a great way to save on your annual visits. We have various plan options, depending on your budget and the stage of your pet’s life.

Wellness plans also complement most types of pet insurance. Please ask us for more information.

Insurance Options

Pet insurance works well in cases of injury and illness. Pet insurance premiums are typically paid on a monthly basis and can be used to help offset some of your pet’s treatment costs.

When using pet insurance, payment is due when services are rendered and then your insurance company will reimburse you if applicable.

If you're looking for a pet insurance provider, we suggest checking out Trupanion, ASPCA Pet Insurance, Nationwide Pet Insurance, PetPlan, or Pawlicy Advisor.

CareCredit

CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed to help you pay for your pet’s health and wellness over time instead of having to pay for everything all at once.

Your CareCredit card can be used for a variety of veterinary procedures, including:

  • Exams
  • Spay and neutering
  • Dental cleaning
  • Parasite control and prevention
  • Medication
  • Vaccinations
  • Surgical procedures
  • And more

"Waterway Animal Hospital in Little River, SC is undoubtedly the best place for animals. I've been going there for several years and I am alway grateful for their care and love of animals. From the moment you enter the door you know you're in the right place. Friendly staff, very caring doctors and spotlessly clean. The entire staff is friendly, very caring and very professional. The time they spend with you and your pet is thorough, comprehensive and complete. They take the necessary time needed to examine your pet but they also involve the owner by asking questions. This is not a place with you are in and out in 5 minutes. They take the necessary time to keep your pet healthy and happy and you too. We love our pets and they do too. I am so glad I found Waterway Animal Hospital. I have peace of mind knowing that my Chelsea is healthy and happy and well cared for on every appointment. Rose Ann Pescheff"
