Payment Is Due at Service
Full payment is due at the time services are rendered, unless a written payment or membership arrangement has been made in advance.
Accepted Methods
We accept cash, major credit and debit cards, and approved third-party financing. Personal checks may be accepted at the clinic’s discretion.
Estimates & Deposits
For surgeries and larger treatment plans we provide a written estimate in advance. A deposit may be required to reserve surgical or hospitalization slots.
Late & Missed Payments
Balances not paid at the time of service may be subject to a late fee. Missed appointments without notice may incur a cancellation fee.
Insurance & Financing
We are happy to provide documentation for pet-insurance reimbursement and can help you explore financing and membership options for larger expenses.
Refunds
Payments for services already rendered are non-refundable. Deposits for cancelled procedures are refunded per the terms provided at the time of scheduling.
