Our clientele is diverse, including many small animal, mixed animal, large animal, and board certified veterinarians.

At Total Planning Veterinary Services, we carefully design each insurance plan to ensure it meets our client’s unique and individual needs.

Disability insurance for veterinarians is the foundation of a good financial plan.

It protects your income if you become too sick or too hurt to work. Every veterinarian should have a policy that reflects their level of education, training, and income. In addition, we believe a policy should offer guarantees in terms of pricing, benefits, and coverage. At Total Planning Veterinary Services, we only provide our clients with policies that reflect these important specifications.

TPVS also serves as a resource for veterinarians who are buying or starting a practice.

These transactions typically require a complex set of insurance solutions that we are uniquely positioned to handle. Let us help you with your insurance requirements to make sure you can open your business on your schedule. In addition, we have other industry partners that can assist you in the accounting, legal, and other areas to ensure your business is running effectively.

Serving the veterinary community for over 30 years.
