FAQ

Can you figure out the cost of emergency vet care before you are billed?

You can do some preliminary research to get an idea of average care costs, but your pet’s bill will depend on factors like your location, your pet’s ailment, and the emergency vet that you visit. Be sure to discuss any financial concerns with the vet, and most facilities will give you an estimate and keep you updated on costs. 

How do emergency vets bill for their services?

Many ER vet offices bill upfront for their services. If your pet’s bill is large, you may be able to arrange a payment plan with the vet, but some vets may not provide payment plans. It’s a good idea to have a backup plan to pay for your vet bill, like a credit card or personal financing. 

What happens if you can’t afford an emergency vet bill?

Most ER vets won’t provide services until you at least make a down payment, so it’s important to explore all of the potential ways you can pay for an emergency vet bill. There are many options, including CareCredit, credit cards, personal financing, and even grants.
