Pet Services

Pamper and protect your dog, cat and other pets

When pets become a part of your family, your heart often tells you to spare no expense for their health care and future well-being. But medical costs are rising for the four-legged members of the family just as they are for their owners. According to the American Animal Hospital Association, the average bill for a routine veterinary visit can cost $100 to $150 per visit. Treatment for your pets' major illness or injury can easily run into the thousands of dollars.

Union Plus Pet Services is designed to help labor union members keep their dogs, cats and other pets healthy and happy — at a reasonable price.
