Financial Policy

At Keepers Animal Clinic we strive to provide timely, quality veterinary care for our patients. We can continue to offer such care and maintain a well-equipped, properly staffed facility only if we receive prompt payment for our services and products.

Having a pet is a special privilege, not a right. With that privilege comes the financial responsibility of providing quality preventative & medical care for your pet. With that in mind, please read the following financial policy.

Full payment is due when services are rendered or inventory items are dispensed. We accept cash, personal checks, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express), CareCredit and Scratchpay. Writing a check when insufficient funds are available is illegal. A fee of $50 will be due immediately for all returned checks and the privilege of writing a check will be revoked. Post-deposit checks are not accepted.

If you are unable to pay your bill and request a payment plan, we will process a CareCredit or Scratchpay application for you. These are medical credit companies which provides full payment for veterinary care for eligible clients and accepts monthly payments until the balance is paid in full.

Our doctors or technicians will provide you with an estimate of charges for surgeries and medical admissions. You may also request an estimate for routine care such as vaccines, flea and tic protection and intestinal parasite control before services are rendered. If you are unable to pay for all recommended services and inventory items, the doctor or technician can help you decide which are most important for your pet that day and which can wait until you are able to provide payment.

If you are concerned about your ability to financially care for your pet, we strongly recommend you consider a pet insurance policy. You may also prepay our hospital for future pet care. Anytime you prepay you will receive an invoice stating how much credit you have on your account.

Providing a signature states that you have read and understand the financial policy listed above.
