Payment Options

At American Animal Hospital we do our best to work with clients in regards to cost. We understand that pet care is expensive and that all treatment options may not be possible. Please ask your veterinarian for a break-down of pricing should there be any concerns that you may have. Payment is expected at the time in which your pet is treated, or medications dispensed. As a small business, we need to focus on the patient care and customer, and therefore do not have a billing department or the ability to bill for services. Every situation is different but there is preferential treatment given to longtime clients and their pets.

We accept debit, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, checks, and cash. Please be advised that payments will be debited out immediately. We at American Animal Hospital know that there are times in which unexpected illness strikes and costs are incurred.

We proudly offer:

Care Credit: Care Credit is a credit card that is accepted by veterinarians and dentists nationwide. With an option like 6 months no interest, it can certainly help you financially during these tough times.

American Animal Hospital understands there are times when an unexpected medical need can create an unexpected expense. This is why we offer CareCredit pet healthcare financing as an option to help you finance the cost of keeping your pet healthy.

How does it work?

CareCredit has flexible financing options for unexpected situations from emergencies to dental procedures ensuring that pets get the care they need, and pet owners get the peace of mind they deserve. Now through May 31,2021 clients who open a new CareCredit healthcare credit card can earn a $50 gift card with single or multiple purchases totaling $200 or more, or a $100 gift card when they make a single or multiple purchase totaling $1,000 or more and register online at carecredit.com/promotions with code GIFT2021.

Pet Insurance

With the rising costs of veterinary medicine due to increased technology, American Animal Hospital recommends that you obtain pet insurance to cover your pet in the event of injury or illness. There are several companies to choose from. We know it can be confusing and difficult to select a plan but there are a couple websites that can help in the decision-making process.

We work closely with Trupanion Pet Insurance. They have a software system that integrates with us, so we can submit a claim right on the spot and have a decision and dollar amount covered in mere minutes.
