Payment Options

In order to maintain our high standard of service, we require that payment is made at the time services are rendered. We provide estimates for all surgeries and hospitalizations and may require a deposit of at least 50% up front prior to extensive care estimated to be of substantial cost. If you have not received an estimate, you are welcome to request one at any time for your expected charges.

CareCredit: When unexpected illness strikes a pet, unexpected expense strikes as well. Atascadero Pet Hospital & Emergency Center understands this and accepts payment through the CareCredit program. It takes just 5 minutes to complete an application and will allow you to break down your payment into 6 monthly installments. You can apply online at www.CareCredit.com/apply.

Cherry Financing: How Cherry Works:

Treat now, pay later

  • No hard credit checks, ever

  • True 0% APR options available

  • Interest-bearing plans with APRs as low as 5.99%

  • Up to $20,000 approvals

  • No hidden fees

Scratchpay: Getting help with an unexpected veterinary bill has never been easier. Scratch leverages online data to quickly assess risk, determine a credit rating, and assign appropriate interest rates. Upon approval, your vet is paid and your pet gets the care they need. There are no hidden fees or retroactive interest charges – just simple, affordable options for pet owners in need.

Pet Insurance

Pet insurance is a great option to make caring for your pet affordable, and ensure that they receive the care they need, when they need it. Full payment will be due to veterinarian up front at the time of service and are reimbursed by your insurance provider after filing a claim.
