All of Transitions CARE™ Plans are carefully designed to meet the expected needs of our families in the various stages of care that they may require. In situations where pets require an increased frequency of visits, your CARE™ plan will also increase, along with the amount of communication support included in each CARE™ Plan.

Our clients repeatedly tell us that they very much value the level of CARE™ that Transitions provides. 

Unlike conventional Veterinary Practices who deliver care through examination visits, we also provide significant medical support to you and yours in between each of our visits. We offer this medical and supportive care through multiple channels including phone calls, email, and video and text messaging. You can be confident knowing that you have our support in your back pocket when you need us most.

Here are just a few ways we are eager to support you and yours in between visits:

• I noticed that Sammy has an upset stomach since starting his new meds yesterday, should I still give it to her?
• I heard there was this great new product for Bella’s condition. Would it be a good fit?
• Tucker is getting more stiff and sore in the morning, should I increase his medication? Or something different?
• We will be travelling with Missy next week, anything I can do about car sickness?
• Daisy is getting thinner/fatter, should I change her food? Or give different amounts?
• What do you think is the best flea medication for Ginger?
• What does this value mean in the lab results?
• I can’t get Oliver to drink enough, what should I do?
• Precious just doesn’t seem right, what do you think?
• I am headed to the emergency room with Muffit. Will you be able to talk to the ER Doc?
• I don’t understand what the specialist was telling me. Would you be able to contact the specialist and then discuss with me the best way to proceed?

• The pet in the highest CARE program is charged full price
• Any additional pets qualify for the “Additional Pet Pricing”
• If for any reason, there is a change in the number of pets or the levels of CARE™, then the pricing will be modified to reflect the new situation.

At Transitions, the service that we provide is a model of comprehensive continual care. If that’s not a good fit for you, we completely understand and are happy to provide your pet’s evaluation and Care Summary to your primary care Veterinarian. 

While most of our clients only see the work we do during visits, the reality is that there are very significant back office operations that make sure we can support you and yours during visits and in between visits as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Often, if the work is invisible to you, it means we’ve done our job well!

Here are just a few of the jobs we are doing behind the scenes:

• We create and maintain detailed records of your pet’s CARE Visits and Ongoing Medical Management. In addition to all of the notes that are generated by Transitions, we often collect a wide variety of external medical records including lab results, imaging reports, specialty consultation findings, prior medical histories. Because Transitions believes in multi-disciplinary support, it may also be necessary to package and share specific portions of these records with other providers. Given the complex conditions of many of the Transitions patients, this can lead to a considerable amount of data management.
• Our back-office team writes up lab requests, properly prepares and packages lab specimens, tracks the requests, does an initial review to ensure all the results were received properly, and submits the information to Dr. Pasek and the medical team for review/analysis. Dr. Pasek and the medical team then reach out to you with their recommendations.
• Also, some of what we call Admin support, is also very much family and patient focused. We communicate regularly about setting visit appointments and follow-ups. In addition, we want to ensure an open line of communications and so our team will often reach out to you to see how things are going in between visits. If everything is going well, this is all documented.  And if you have any questions or concerns, it’s a great opportunity to pass along your concerns to the medical team for a response. With a Transitions CARE Plan, our job is to make sure you always feel supported, every step of this journey together.
