Payment Options for Specialty Veterinary Care in Scottsdale, AZ
At Salt River Veterinary Specialists, our goal is to provide high-quality specialty medicine and service at a fair price. We offer several convenient payment and financing options so you can focus on your pet’s care, and our team provides written estimates before treatment so there are no surprises.
Accepted Forms of Payment
We require full payment at the time services are rendered. We accept:
- Cash
- Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards
- CareCredit
- Scratchpay financing for qualified applicants
Estimates and Hospitalization Deposits
Before diagnostics or treatment, your specialist will discuss recommendations and provide a written estimate. If your pet is admitted to the hospital, you will be asked to leave a deposit based on the estimate. If your pet’s condition changes and the estimate needs to be adjusted, one of our doctors or patient care coordinators will call you to discuss a revised estimate before proceeding.
Financing With CareCredit and Scratchpay
CareCredit is a health care credit card that can be used for veterinary expenses, often with promotional financing for qualifying purchases. Scratchpay offers simple payment plans for qualified applicants, with a quick online application that does not affect your credit score to check eligibility. Both options can help make advanced procedures like laser bladder stone removal, endoscopy, or tracheal stenting more manageable.
Pet Insurance
Salt River Veterinary Specialists believes pet insurance is a good option for most families, and the best time to select a plan is before something happens. Most pet insurance plans reimburse you after you pay for services, and we provide detailed invoices and records you can submit for reimbursement. Your referring veterinarian is a great resource for pet insurance information and preferred plans.
