Veterinary care can include both planned expenses and unexpected ones. At Bottletree Animal Hospital, we want you to know what payment resources are available before you need them. We offer financing through Cherry and CareCredit, and we encourage pet insurance for families who want added financial support for future veterinary needs.
Explore your options below, or contact our team if you have questions about payment for an upcoming visit.
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance can help you prepare financially for illnesses, injuries, and other unexpected veterinary expenses. Coverage varies widely by company and policy, so we recommend comparing deductibles, reimbursement percentages, exclusions, waiting periods, and coverage limits before choosing a plan.
Most pet insurance companies use a reimbursement model. This typically means you pay your veterinary bill at the time of service, submit a claim to your insurance company, and receive reimbursement for eligible expenses according to your policy.
Trupanion and VetDirect Pay™
Trupanion offers a different option through its VetDirect Pay™ system. At participating veterinary hospitals, Trupanion can process eligible claims and pay its portion of the bill directly to the hospital at checkout. This can reduce the amount you need to pay upfront and eliminates the need to wait for reimbursement on eligible claims processed through VetDirect Pay™.
While Trupanion is one option worth considering, Bottletree Animal Hospital encourages you to compare your options to find the best fit for you and your pet. A comparison tool like Pawlicy Advisor allows you to view policies side by side to evaluate options.
