Funding your pet’s treatment is a concern for many pet owners. Financial constraints may impact the decision you take on how to treat your pet’s condition.
When you visit Premier Veterinary Group, we will prepare a detailed treatment plan for your pet’s care for your review.
Funding your pet’s treatment is a concern for many pet owners. Financial constraints may impact the decision you take on how to treat your pet’s condition. We understand that these are difficult, personal decisions that are unique to each family; and we respect that in the midst of grappling with a diagnosis and a treatment plan, you are now also grappling with this unexpected new expense.
On the day that services are rendered, we will ask you to pay the estimate/treatment plan in full prior to services being rendered.
Your options for payment methods include:
Cash
Personal Checks (accepted via Telecheck, ID required)
Credit Card: Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express
Lines of Credit: Care Credit, Scratchpay
Lines of Credit
If personal credit, cash and personal loans from family and friends are not available, or do not cover the balance, a line of credit can be an alternative. Care Credit provides lines of credit specifically for health related expenses.
By applying for a line of credit through Care Credit, you will be applying for a credit card that will include a credit check. If approved, the respective financial institution will inform you of your credit limit, interest rate, and payment terms. These can and will vary dependent on the sale amount and are subject to change at the financial institution’s discretion.
Hospitals in the Ethos network are not affiliated with either of these financial institutions. Our team is happy to help you apply for a line of credit with these institutions, whether online, over the phone, or via a paper application. We will help you fill out the form if necessary, provide you with copies of receipts, estimates and anything else you need in order to expedite the process for you, but we are not involved in their decisions around credit terms and amounts.
If you decide that a line of credit is for you, applying for credit in advance of your pet’s scheduled treatment will ease the process on the day you drop him or her off. If you have arrived at one of our hospitals in an emergency situation, we will be happy to assist you in filling out the form and submitting the application if you so desire. Please speak to a member of our client care team.
