For animal care professionals

Health coverage for the people who care for animals.

ACA marketplace plans for vets, vet techs, groomers, pet sitters, and dog walkers — designed around long shifts, mobile work, and compassion fatigue.

Currently helping 1,200+ veterinary professionals in 38 states.

We cover the whole clinic.

From the DVM out front to the groomer in the back room — every role on the floor has a plan path that fits.

Specialty Practitioners

Exotic, equine, avian, and aquatic care.

Specialty
You're on your fifth euthanasia of the week, and you're still expected to call your mom on her birthday. Compassion fatigue is real — and your health coverage should account for it.

Mental health & compassion-fatigue support

Therapy, EAP, and substance-use coverage on every ACA plan we quote.

Back, neck, and wrist coverage

Physical therapy and orthopedic care for the people who lift, bend, and clip all day.

Flexible scheduling that respects on-call

Telehealth visits 24/7 so a 3am ER shift doesn't keep you from a primary care appointment.

For clinic owners

Own a clinic?
We do groups too.

Whether you run a two-vet small-animal practice or a 20-person ER hospital, SHOP-marketplace group coverage often beats individual plans on per-employee cost — and may unlock the small-business health tax credit. We'll model both scenarios for free.

Stories from the exam room.

Black woman veterinarian smiling in front of her mobile vet truck

"I burned out at a corporate clinic and started my mobile practice with no idea how to get coverage as a one-truck LLC. Paw & Plan found me a PPO with strong mental-health benefits — and I actually use them now."

"My hours bounce between 28 and 50 a week and my income shifts with the moon. They walked me through subsidies in plain English, and I'm paying $62/month for a real plan with therapy included."

"I run a four-person salon and was paying out of pocket for everyone. Paw & Plan set us up on a SHOP group plan, qualified us for the tax credit, and now my groomers actually go to the dentist."

Frequent questions
from the practice.

Mobile vets typically work best with ACA marketplace plans that include nationwide PPO networks, plus a small-business write-off through their LLC or S-corp. We'll compare individual plans and SHOP options side-by-side so your truck miles don't dictate your coverage.
