Financial Resources
At Veterinary Specialty Center, we pride ourselves on transparency and providing all options so that you can make the best decision for your pet and family.
Financing with CareCredit®
In addition to accepting all major credit cards, we also accept CareCredit, which is strictly a health care credit card that can be used for both human and pet health-related expenses. CareCredit provides an option for veterinary medicine, which comes in handy for pet owners who may be unable to provide the up-front costs of care or prefer to make their payments in installments.
CareCredit card highlights:
- One CareCredit card can be used for all approved services at any of the 175,000 providers.
- At Veterinary Specialty Center, we offer 6 or 12-month promotional financing with no interest charges if paid in full within that time.
- The CareCredit card requires a $200 minimum charge.
- CareCredit cards can only be used for health services and cannot be used to purchase everyday items like pet food, toys, etc. in stores.
- You can apply online using the link below and, based on approval, use it instantly to cover some or all of the costs associated with your pet’s care.
Fundraising Campaign
Another option that may help partially or fully cover patient care costs involves fundraising known as crowdfunding. Crowdfunding involves gathering small amounts of money from a large number of people and can be a way to ask friends, family, and even strangers for help.
- Try a fundraising platform such as GoFundMe, which enables you to create a personal fundraising page. GoFundMe is an American for-profit crowdfunding platform that allows people to raise money for events ranging from life events such as celebrations and graduations to challenging circumstances like accidents and illnesses. You can then share your campaign on social media or by email.
