Payment Options

At Forest Crossing Animal Hospital

Forest Crossing Animal Hospital believes in providing the highest quality care for your furry family members. We also know that sometimes, the financial costs of pet care can be challenging to afford. Dealing with an unexpected pet health issue is stressful enough without worrying about how to pay for it.

Our clients regularly ask us about the value of pet insurance and installment payment options such as CareCredit, ScratchPay, and the All Pet Card. Depending on your financial situation, these can be beneficial options—these providers offer financing for pet-related expenses and work much like a credit card. We recommend researching these services carefully when considering them.

We strongly encourage our clients to consider medical insurance for their pets—time and again, we have seen pet insurance enable owners to provide critical or life-saving care when their pet needs it the most.

CareCredit

Allows you to manage the cost of your pet’s veterinary care with low minimum monthly payments for any pre-approved treatment amount. It’s easy to apply, and in most cases, decisions are immediate. Apply at the hospital or online:

CareCredit

All Pet Card

Works like a credit card and can be used for a variety of veterinary goods and services, including medical care, boarding and grooming, and pet food.

ALL PET CARD

ScratchPay

Allows you to make payments for needed veterinary care with quick and easy online approvals. Offers several plans to choose from, some with no interest.

SCRATCH PAY

PET INSURANCE CAN MAKE CARING FOR YOUR PET MORE AFFORDABLE.

Like health insurance for people, pet policies have different deductibles, co-payments, and premiums. You should be aware that with most policies, the pet owner must pay the vet bills in full, file a claim, and then wait for reimbursement from the insurance company.

We recommend using Nationwide Pet Insurance or Pumpkin Pet Insurance for our pet parents. You can also use Pet Insurance Review to find the right fit for you!

There are a lot of pet insurance companies to choose from, and we strongly recommend researching your options thoroughly before purchasing a policy. Some important things to consider when comparing policies are:

Is there a physical exam required to get coverage?
What percentage of the bill does the company pay after the deductible?
Is the deductible annually, per condition, or for the life of the pet?
Are there co-pays?
Does the plan cover pre-existing conditions or chronic medical problems?
Can you choose any veterinarian or animal hospital?
Are prescription drugs covered?
Does the plan pay the veterinarian directly, or is it a reimbursement model?
