What Exclusions Does My Vet Have?

Check your UPC vet's savings before your visit

The short answer:

UPC savings vary by clinic and help reduce the cost of routine and preventive veterinary care, such as annual exams, vaccines, diagnostics, and various in-house procedures.

Most participating clinics offer savings on in-house services, while items commonly excluded may include prescription food, retail products, outside laboratory services, third-party services, and anything pre-discounted.

To view a clinic’s exact savings and exclusions, use our Vet Search tool and review the clinic’s individual savings breakdown before scheduling your appointment.

The long answer:

Searching for the right clinic and savings for your pet? Our Vet Search tool can help you compare participating veterinarians in your area and view the unique UPC savings offered at each location.

UPC savings are typically structured to help make routine and preventive veterinary care more affordable with services related to annual wellness and routine visits. Most participating clinics offer savings on services such as:

  • Exams

  • Vaccines

  • Diagnostics/Treatments

  • Common in-house procedures


Each participating clinic sets its own savings and exclusions, so coverage may vary depending on the hospital you choose. While many routine services are included, some items and services are commonly excluded from UPC savings.

Typical exclusions may include:

  • Prescription food

  • Retail products

  • Outside laboratory services

  • Third-party services

  • Medications filled externally

  • Emergency or specialty referrals

Pre-discounted items or packages

Because every clinic is different, we recommend reviewing the clinic’s savings details carefully in the Vet Search tool and contacting the hospital directly if you have questions about what is covered before your appointment.
