CareCredit for Pet Care

Vanessa first learned about the CareCredit credit card, when she took Hopper, her loyal companion of 13 years, to the vet and learned he had cancer.

She was approved for a CareCredit card on the spot, which she says gave her peace of mind. “The promotional financing was a big plus, knowing his treatment would be ongoing," says Vanessa. Hopper's treatments gave them five more months together, for which Vanessa is grateful.

CareCredit for Dental Care

Vanessa turned again to her CareCredit credit card when she woke one morning with a swollen mouth and needed an emergency dental extraction. “It was such a stressful, painful experience, it was a relief to know I could use my CareCredit credit card for treatment and the bills are not racking up," she explained.

Vanessa has a new pup and uses her CareCredit card for wellness visits at the vet, and continuing care for her long-term dental needs.
