At Bayshore Animal Hospital, we believe clear communication about cost is just as important as clear communication about care. We’re committed to making the payment process straightforward for our clients, and we offer several options to help you and your pet get the care you need without unnecessary stress. Below, you’ll find an overview of how payment works at our hospital, along with information on financing programs that can help make veterinary care more accessible.
Accepted Forms Of Payment
We accept the following forms of payment:
- MasterCard
- Visa
- Discover
- CareCredit
- ScratchPay
- Cash
Please note that we do not accept personal checks. Full payment is due at the time of service.
Deposits For Hospitalized Patients
If your pet is advised to stay with us, whether for partial-day, overnight, or longer-term hospital care or observation, a deposit will be collected at the time of admission. This helps cover the anticipated cost of your pet’s care and ensures the focus stays on what matters most: getting your dog or cat back to feeling like themselves.
Payment Plans Through CareCredit And Scratch Pay
If you’d like to explore financing options for your pet’s care, we encourage you to apply for CareCredit or Scratch Pay before your visit. Both programs offer flexible payment plans designed specifically for healthcare expenses, including veterinary care. Applying ahead of time eases stress on the day of your appointment, streamlines your visit, and — most importantly — allows your pet’s care to begin without delay.
If you have any questions about payment, financing, or what to expect at your visit, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re happy to help.
