Let’s talk emergencies!
Did you know emergencies start at upwards of $500 for your pet? This could include 1st visit colic call, walking in the door at a hospital for diagnostics, or the laceration repair because only god knows what your pet cut themselves on. This is just the start!
What if your dog needs surgery? What if your horse needs to be transported to the hospital? Are you prepared to pay for that upfront right now?
Just to give you an idea:
- Hospitalizing a horse, dog or cat can range from $1,000-$5,000 and just go up from there
- Colic surgery can range from $5,000-$10,000
Did you know the majority of vets take payment PRIOR to rendering services? Most veterinary facilities do not offer payment plans. This means you have to come up with the money to get treatment for your pets.
So you may ask, what options do I have?
The first option is Pet insurance!
Having health insurance for your pet, just like you, could be the answer for your unexpected vet bills. There is lots of pet insurance companies out there so be sure to do your research to pick the one that’s right for you and your furbaby!
Don’t feel like pet insurance is right for you? Well other things to consider could be carecredit , scratchpay, or an emergency credit card just for your pet. These options allow you to pay off your vet bill over time.
In summary, emergencies happen and the best solution is to have a plan in place for when they do.
