My Story: How Veterinary Surgery Became Affordable

Rufus's lump turned out to be a malignant salivary gland tumor, requiring immediate surgery to remove the cancer. The procedure cost $10,000. Luckily, Rufus's mom Lana already had the CareCredit credit card from when her veterinarian had recommended it previously.

CareCredit for Veterinary Care

Rufus got his life-saving surgery just five days after his diagnosis, and Lana didn't have to worry about how she would pay for it because she had the CareCredit credit card ready at hand. Lana says "I truly attribute the CareCredit credit card to saving his life."

With the CareCredit credit card, Lana can pay for all her veterinary care needs at providers that accept CareCredit, including:

• Wellness visits
• Vaccinations
• Surgery
• Dentistry
• Emergency visits
• Specialist visits
