In order to maintain our high standard of service, we require that payment is made at the time services are rendered. We provide estimates for all surgeries and hospitalizations. If you have not received an estimate, you are welcome to request one at any time for your expected charges.

CareCredit: When unexpected illness/injury strikes, unexpected expense strikes as well. We understand this and therefore accept payment through the CareCredit program. It takes just 5 minutes to complete an application and will allow you to break down your payment into 6 monthly installments. You can apply yourself online at CareCredit.com/apply.
Scratchpay: Getting help with an unexpected veterinary bill has never been easier. Scratch leverages online data to quickly assess risk, determine a credit rating, and assign appropriate interest rates. Upon approval, your vet is paid and your pet gets the care they need. There are no hidden fees or retroactive interest charges – just simple, affordable options for pet owners in need.
Cherry is a “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) platform designed specifically for health, medical, and wellness services. It allows patients to get the care they need immediately and pay for it over time in manageable, scheduled installments rather than all at once.
Trupanion is a pet health insurance company that covers unexpected veterinary costs for cats and dogs, such as surgeries, diagnostic tests, and medications for new illnesses or injuries.
Pet insurance is a great option to make caring for your pet affordable, and ensure that they receive the care they need, when they need it.
With most pet insurance plans, you pay the veterinarian up front and are reimbursed by your insurance provider after filing a claim. To compare pet insurance provider options, visit Pawlicy Advisor.
