Payment Policy and Pet Health Insurance
To better care for all our patients, we require payment at the time of service. We accept all major credit cards, cash, check, CareCredit, and pet insurance.
As pet owners, we understand that unexpected veterinary emergencies can be stressful—not just emotionally, but financially too. Pet health insurance is a valuable tool to help you make decisions about your pet’s care with less worry about the cost.
Pet insurance allows you to pay for your pet’s medical care upfront and then submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement. While premiums can range from a few hundred dollars per year, the peace of mind it offers—especially during emergencies—makes it a worthwhile investment for many pet owners.
Flexible Financing With CareCredit
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that can be used for veterinary expenses, giving pet owners a way to pay for care over time. It may be helpful for routine visits, unexpected illnesses, dental care, surgery, emergency treatment, and other approved veterinary services.
Another key benefit of CareCredit is that it can also be used at participating human healthcare providers, including dentists, optometrists, doctors, and more.
If you are interested in using CareCredit, you can learn more or apply through our direct link before your pet’s appointment. This can help you make care decisions with more confidence when treatment is recommended.
