Options to Pay for Your Pet's Medical Needs

Having a pet emergency is stressful!  No one wants to face a pet emergency let alone having limited funds.  In a perfect world we would all have special savings accounts just for Fido's veterinary bills.  The reality is that most of us are living paycheck to paycheck.  While the Emergency Animal Clinic does not offer payment plans (no money down and send in money when you get paid), we do have a some payment options available. 
 

Standard Payment Options
  1. Cash, money orders, and personal checks.
  2. Visa/MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Financing Payment Options
 
   1.   CareCredit® – a dedicated line of credit to cover your pet’s veterinary care needs.
  • No application fee

  • No annual fees or prepayment penalties 
  • Quick application process in the office or online from home at www.CareCredit.com
 
    2.     Ability to Buy- a repayment program that is based on an applicant’s check writing history, not the credit score.
