As an alternative to traditional pet insurance, United Pet Care is a membership program which offers instant savings between 20-50% on every visit to the veterinarian.
What is United Pet Care?
United Pet Care is not pet insurance—it is a membership program which provides instant savings on veterinary services. Once you’re a United Pet Care member you are instantly eligible to receive discounts on veterinary visits without worrying about wait times or insurance claims. United Pet Care (UPC) was started in Arizona, and has since expanded to California, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington. UPC has a provider network which is a list of several veterinarians who participate in the UPC program. If your preferred veterinarian is not listed, you can refer them to join the provider network either through their website or by calling their office.
