Sunny had been a long-time companion to Josh. When Sunny stopped eating as much as usual, Josh knew it was time to see a vet. But at Sunny's examination, things were worse than Josh expected.

CareCredit for Senior Pet Care

A surprise diagnosis of kidney disease, which is common for senior cats, left Josh questioning whether he could provide the life-extending care that Sunny needed. But Josh's anguish over how to help his beloved kitty was short-lived. As he stood wondering how he could afford Sunny's treatment all at once, a veterinary nurse handed him a pamphlet explaining the benefits of the CareCredit credit card.

Josh applied for the CareCredit card right there at the vet's office and was approved within minutes. He was able to take advantage of promotional financing, which enabled him to stop worrying about how to pay and focus on making sure Sunny would be okay.

Josh and Sunny were able to enjoy more time together thanks to CareCredit providing a way to pay for Sunny's treatment over time.
