Costs
Total
costs at the VTH&C are usually comparable to those of veterinarians
in private specialty practice. A veterinarian will give you an estimated
cost of your pet's care before proceeding with any tests or procedures.
Your initial estimate does not include recheck examinations, bandage
changes or follow-up radiographs.
Full payment is required for all outpatient services. If hospitalization
is necessary, a deposit equal to half the total estimated charges
will be required. If it becomes apparent during hospitalization that
the cost of your pet's treatment will exceed the original estimate,
we will notify you. If you elect to continue treatment, an additional
deposit may be required. Payment in full is expected at the time of
discharge. Please note that charges are sometimes delayed. Therefore,
occasionally clients receive a bill by mail for charges that were
not included at the time of discharge.
The VTH&C accepts cash, checks, VISA, Mastercard, American Express,
and CareCredit. CareCredit is an independent financing company that
offers a revolving credit line for veterinary and human healthcare
expenditures, and they offer a variety of payment options. If you
plan to use CareCredit to finance your bill, you may apply at our
cashier’s desk, or online at
