Payment Options
Clients are required to pay in full for all services received on the day they are provided, or upon discharge for in-patients. Payments may be made by cash, check, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Google Pay or Apple Pay.
​
If your animal will stay with us for at least one night, they are considered an in-patient. Before they are admitted, we require your approval of a cost estimate. Payment in-full is expected at the time of the patient’s release from the hospital. While Cape Veterinary Hospital does not directly finance client accounts, financing options are available with approved credit through Care Credit
Financing Options
We accept CareCredit, the pet, health and wellness credit card with flexible, budget-friendly financing options that allow you to pay over time for a range of treatments and services.* From routine visits and preventative care to diagnostics and emergency surgeries, CareCredit can help you be prepared for any veterinary expense.

Pet Insurance Is An Option!
Cape Veterinary Hospital offers the most advanced treatments for ailing animals, and we understand that covering the cost of medical and surgical services can sometimes be overwhelming.
Many owners consider pet health insurance, and several companies provide plan options for animals. Most policies are established as reimbursement plans, which means that you pay your bill for veterinary services and are reimbursed by the insurance company according to the provisions of your policy.
​
Cape Veterinary Hospital proudly proudly partners with Trupanion as our preferred insurance company. For mor information on Trupanion, click here!

Tips for Crowdfunding
-
Explain what this means to you: Share that importance in your campaign page to help your audience connect emotionally.
-
Include images that make the condition clear: Profiles with non-graphic photos that make it clear a pet is hurt or in need tend to raise funds faster.
-
Share, share, share – on Facebook and email: On average, shares by people and organizations who know the pet personally raise around $500 per share!
-
Gather your “team”: Be sure to ask your close network to share the campaign on your behalf.
-
Push hard at the beginning-and end-of a campaign: Letting your audience know that a campaign is closing, and they only have a limited time to help can pull people off the fences to help.
ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES
At Cape Veterinary Hospital, we understand that caring for your companion can sometimes be expensive. To help our clients manage the costs of veterinary medical care, we offer financing options with approved credit through Care Credit & Scratch Pay, and work with pet insurance companies. In addition, we have an available list of organizations that offer financial assistance and crowdfunding for veterinary medical care.
