We are pleased to offer you CareCredit as a financing option. They have an easy application process and can give you results in minutes.
- Will I be provided with an estimate of costs?
We will give you a good-faith estimate for the cost of our services before treating your pet. But, unforeseen circumstances could arise that might impact your final bill.
We always explain our written estimate with our clients before they leave our facility, and require a deposit based on our estimate before we can give any further treatments.

If your cat or dog requires further hospitalization, diagnostics or surgery we will need a deposit up front, with payment due in full when your pet is discharged.
