We understand that medical care for your pet can be expensive, especially in case of an emergency. Here are some options worth looking into to help you take care of your bill.
Care Credit
From routine appointments to emergency situations or surgeries, the CareCredit card gives pet owners the peace of mind needed to care for pets big and small.
Unlike traditional pet financing or veterinary payment plans, the CareCredit credit card gives you the flexibility to use your card again and again for your pet’s procedures. You can apply for Care Credit online and be approved or disapproved immediately.

Senior Citizens
Many seniors are unaware of the health benefits, both mental and physical, that a pet can provide. This includes seniors who are in an assisted living facility. The below link is a free resource that provides comprehensive information on topics like the benefits and risks of pet ownership, things to consider before bringing a pet into a community, pet adoption, and State-sponsored organizations that support both pets and their elderly owners.

Scratchpay
Scratchpay is a loan that can be used to finance your pet’s care. The shortest repayment term is 0% interest. It is called the “Take 5” program and is a loan that can be repaid over 8 weeks. A 20% down payment is required at the visit – then 4 bi-weekly payments. If you need longer to pay, you can also apply to see what your terms would be for 12 monthly or 24 monthly payments.
The best news? Scratchpay isn’t a credit card. Finding your plan option will NOT affect your credit score.
