Veterinary care is essential, and we want every pet to receive the treatment they need without delay. To help make care more accessible, our hospital offers two trusted third‑party payment options: Scratchpay and CareCredit. Each works differently, and the best choice depends on what you prefer in a payment solution.
What Is Scratchpay? Scratchpay is a simple installment payment plan designed specifically for today’s visit. You apply online, receive a quick decision, and if you are approved, you choose a plan with fixed payments over a set schedule. It is not a credit card and does not require opening a revolving account. Find a Scratchpay plan here.
Scratchpay is a payment plan for this visit. You apply online, and if approved, you choose a plan with set payments over time. It’s very straightforward and tells you the payment amount up front.
What Is CareCredit? CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that can be used for veterinary care, human medical care, dental, vision, and more. Once approved, you can use the card today and again in the future at any participating provider. See if you qualify for CareCredit here.
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card. If you’re approved, you can use it today for your pet’s care, and you may be able to use it again in the future for other human medical or veterinary expenses. Some plans may even offer promotional financing.
Which One Should You Choose? If you want something you can use again like a medical credit card, try CareCredit. If you prefer a simple set payment plan for this visit, try Scratchpay.
Choosing the right payment option depends on what feels most comfortable and practical for your situation. Whether you prefer the ease of a one‑time installment plan through Scratchpay or the flexibility of a reusable healthcare credit card like CareCredit that you can use for other medical needs, both options are designed to help ensure your pet receives needed care, when it’s needed.
