My Story: Taking Care of Her Senior Fur Family With CareCredit

My Story with CareCredit is where actual CareCredit cardholders share stories of how life-changing care helped them, their families, and their pets.

When Your Pets Are Your Family

Teri is a pet lover and animal rescue volunteer whose dogs are more than just pets—they're family. “It's like having a child," Teri explained when speaking about her dogs Scooter, 6.5 years old, and Sadie, 15.5 years old. So when a specialist found that Sadie had a tumor in her left eye and the only way to test it for cancer was to remove her eye, Teri decided to go ahead with the surgery.

The procedure cost $2,500 and with CareCredit, Teri was able to not just pay for the surgery over time but took advantage of promotional financing options. Sadie has had four surgeries total and thankfully the results have all come back benign! Now Teri tells everyone about CareCredit and how it has helped her and Sadie.
