Why Pad "The Essentials" Membership is a Game Changer for Pet Parents: Expert In-Home Preventive Care

Why Pad
Hi Pet Parents,

Busy schedules, nervous pets, and rising costs can make it tough to stay on top of your pet’s routine care. Nail trims get delayed, ears go unchecked, and dental hygiene slips through the cracks. You may not even know the importance of anal expression for certain pets, especially dogs. Unfortunately, these “little things” can quickly escalate into painful, stressful, and expensive health problems with harmful outcomes if left unchecked.
That’s why we created Pad "The Essentials" Membership—monthly, in-home visits with our Fear Free™ Certified vet tech pet nurses to cover the most essential, but often overlooked, aspects of your pet’s care. Your pets can't tell you when they're in pain, but by handling these essential basics at home, we keep pets comfortable, prevent bigger problems, and give pet parents peace of mind. 

The Power of Pad "The Essentials" Membership: Prevent Problems Before They Start

The Essentials Membership isn’t just convenience—it’s proactive, preventive care that can extend your pet’s comfort, health, and happiness. Here’s what’s included:
  1. Dental Brushing & Hygiene: Prevents plaque, tartar, bad breath, gum disease and tooth loss.
  2. Nail Clipping: Stops painful overgrowth that can lead to joint stress, infections, and mobility issues.
  3. Ear Cleaning: Reduces buildup of dirt and wax that often causes chronic infections and hearing loss.
  4. Anal Gland Expression: Prevents impaction, abscesses, and infections that cause discomfort and long-term health issues.
 Every plan also comes with Pad’s 8-Point Health Check—screening for hidden issues before they become emergencies.

Why “At-Home” Preventive Care Makes the Difference

There’s a reason Pad designed Pad "The Essentials" Membership to happen in your home:
  • True Comfort Zone: Pets are relaxed at home, making the visit calmer and less stressful than a clinic trip, saving valuable time.
  • Consistency That Matters: Monthly visits keep up with care routines that prevent small problems from escalating.
  • Proactive Prevention: Our vet tech pet nurses catch subtle changes early, helping to avoid costly treatments down the line.
  • Collaboration With Your VetWe don’t replace your veterinarian—we complement them. Notes from each visit help strengthen the partnership between you and your primary vet if you'd like.
  • Time & Cost Savings: One predictable monthly fee makes care easier to budget while reducing surprise bills from emergencies.
