Care Credit

You would have to have been hit by rock or just come out from under one if you are not aware of the benefits Care Credit extends to our dental patients in receiving care they need and/or want without enduring the fate of the financial grim reaper.

Knowing this; I believed that I would escape the "financial fate" when faced with my pet’s surgery as I have a Care Credit card. To my surprise, the Veterinary Hospital did not offer this option. Here was breakdown for the proposed treatment.  Dakota, my furbaby, had a mass that (1) needed to be removed, (2) sent to a lab for diagnosis then (3) placed on several medications following treatment.  Based upon the diagnosis; further treatment could follow. Your heart strings are tugged tight as you can’t even believe you are going to allow the thought of "declining or delaying treatment" 

How many other people are forced to decline routine or life changing care for their pet family members?

Considering a solution for defeating cost concern when challenged with treatment decisions,  Dakota’s Vet not only contacted Care Credit but also implemented this benefit immediately! Dakota had both the surgery recommended and a routine prophylaxis. Recovering swiftly, the mass was found to be a sizable tumor, which was benign.

Dakota and I would like to thank Bete Johnson & Bill Hanson.  You ROCK!
