Group Benefits That Help You Keep Vets, Techs, and Groomers on Staff
Veterinary turnover has become a serious retention challenge for credentialed techs and associate DVMs alike. 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.
