Below are organizations that may be able to help with veterinary financial assistance.
Some other options:
1. Ask your veterinarian if he or she will let you work out a payment plan. Many veterinarians are willing to work out a weekly or monthly payment plan so that you do not have to pay the entire cost of veterinary care up front. Your veterinarian may also know of a local organization that can help with financial assistance for your vet care - make sure you ask.
2. Contact your local shelter. Some shelters operate or know of local subsidized veterinary clinics or veterinary assistance programs. You can find the name and number of your local shelter in the Yellow Pages of your phone book.
3. Consider getting a credit card specifically designed for you and your pet's health needs. Whether it’s an everyday checkup, or an emergency surgery. CareCredit offers convenient monthly payment options, no up-front costs, no prepayment penalties and no annual fees. For more information CareCredit - http://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/whycc.html
