For Clinic Owners

Group Benefits That Help You Keep Vets, Techs, and Groomers on Staff

Veterinary turnover is at an all-time high — 24% annually for credentialed techs, and rising for associate DVMs. The clinics that win the staffing war are the ones offering real benefits, not just pizza Fridays. Paw & Plan Health builds custom group benefits packages for veterinary practices, grooming salons, and multi-doctor hospitals from 2 to 200 employees. We handle carrier shopping, employee enrollment, and year-round support — so you can focus on the practice instead of the paperwork.

Group Benefits We Build for Vet Practices

Group medical (fully-insured and level-funded)

We compare every carrier writing small-group business in your state and present 3–5 finalists with full cost breakdowns by employee tier (vet, tech, kennel, front desk).

Group dental and vision

Some of the most-loved benefits per dollar spent. Group vision at $6–$12/employee/month is the easiest morale-mover in your benefits stack.

Group short- and long-term disability

Critical for clinics where a single back injury or surgical recovery can keep a key clinician off the floor for months. Often runs $18–$40/employee/month.

Section 125 cafeteria plan

Lets your team pay their share of premiums pre-tax and reduces your payroll tax burden. We set it up at no charge with any group package.

Mental health and EAP add-ons

Compassion fatigue, euthanasia stress, and grief are clinical realities. We include EAP options that give your team free, confidential therapy access starting at $4/employee/month.

What Vet-Clinic Group Plans Typically Cost

Employer cost per employee, per month. Most clinics contribute 50–80% of the employee premium and let staff buy up for dependents.

Medical only (small clinic, 5–15 staff)$420–$680 / employee / mo
Medical + dental$470–$735 / employee / mo
Medical + dental + vision + STD$520–$795 / employee / mo

How the Setup Works

  • Discovery call — we learn your staff mix, budget per FTE, and contribution philosophy
  • Carrier shopping — we pull quotes from every viable carrier in your state
  • Proposal — 3–5 finalist packages with side-by-side cost and network comparisons
  • Enrollment — we host benefits-fair meetings (virtual or in person) and enroll every employee
  • Year-round support — life events, new hires, claim escalations, and renewal negotiation
