Payment Options
You’ll know what something costs before we do it, and you have more than one way to pay for it.
Estimates Come First
Beyond the examination itself, you’ll get a written estimate before we proceed with diagnostics or treatment, and a plain conversation about your options — what each one costs, what it tells us, and which order makes sense.
If a plan changes partway through because of something we find, we call you. You won’t discover it on the invoice.
How to Pay
Payment is due at the time of service; we don’t bill. We accept cash, checks, all major debit and credit cards, and gift certificates.
Cards must be presented by the cardholder. Checks require photo ID, and a returned check carries a $35 fee.
Paying Over Time with Cherry
Cherry splits a bill into monthly payments instead of paying it all at once — useful for dentals, surgery, or a workup you’d rather spread out. You apply on your own phone: at home before an appointment, or from our waiting room while your pet is with us.
- Seeing whether you qualify takes a couple of minutes and doesn’t affect your credit score.
- Cherry shows you the plans you qualify for — the length, the monthly payment, and the rate — before you agree to anything. Some plans are 0% APR, depending on what you qualify for.
- The decision is Cherry’s, not ours, and your financial details stay with them.

That opens Cherry’s own site — the application is theirs, not ours.
Pet Insurance
Insurance isn’t a way to pay us at the desk. Nearly every policy works by reimbursement: you pay us at the time of service, then file a claim with your insurer and they pay you back. We’ll complete any paperwork your insurer needs and send records promptly.
We do recommend insurance, particularly for young pets, and we recommend getting it before anything is wrong. In our experience, a condition that has already been diagnosed is treated as pre-existing and policies rarely cover it. We have no preferred provider and we take no commission from anyone.
Ask us about cost. It’s a normal part of the appointment and we have the conversation every day. Tell us what works for you and we’ll build the plan around it — there’s almost always more than one good way to get your pet the care they need.
