Many veterinarians who see a pet on a regular basis are usually willing to work with the owner to come up with a payment plan. This is one of many reasons why it’s a good idea to keep up with your pet’s routine care. Owners whose pets don’t receive regular veterinary care will have a harder time finding a veterinarian who is willing to provide services without guaranteed payment. Contact your veterinary hospital, and ask if they offer any alternative payment options.

Blue Ridge Veterinary Services offers CareCredit financing.

If budgeting is important for you, you may want to consider Trupanion pet health insurance. This can greatly reduce unexpected bills.
