Payment Plans
The hospital understands that when our pets need care it often happen at the most difficult time and sometimes involves significant financial outlay. To assist, the emergency vet hospital accepts payment from two independent financial companies – Zip Pay and Vet Pay. Both offer approved customers financial payment plan arrangements for veterinary services. Each have their own separate criteria but offer a payment structure that often suits various budgets. Below is more information on each.
Zip Pay and Zip Money are financial payment solutions provided by Zip Co. They offer customers the ability to pay for veterinary services over time. Approved customers are provided between $1,000 – $30,000 through a shopping account and credit line. The amount purchased is then paid off in regular installments.
Zip Pay requires a minimum payment amount to be made towards the balance each month. Monthly service fees. After the fee-free period, if you don’t pay your balance in full, you’ll be charged a flat $6 service fee on the first of every month that you have an outstanding balance
