Leylani knew Koga — a nine-month old Husky-Doberman mix — was “the one" the minute she laid eyes on him and returned to adopt him from a local shelter within a week. “I just fell in love with him," she says of her furry companion who is always by her side. The two of them moved into a new apartment in Los Angeles, but when Koga came down with a respiratory infection, Leylani was worried she might not be able to afford the emergency vet visit.

With her CareCredit credit card, however, Leylani was able to pay for Koga's veterinary care and prescription medications, and now uses her CareCredit card for all of Koga's health needs. Leylani says CareCredit gives her peace of mind and confidence to know she's equipped to provide for her companion, no matter what situation may arise.
