Payment Options
Planning for veterinary expenses can make it easier to move forward with the care your pet needs. At Salem Veterinary Hospital, we offer several payment and financing options so you can choose an approach that works for your household and your pet’s care.
Whether you are visiting us for a wellness exam, dental care, diagnostics, surgery, an urgent concern, or another veterinary service, our team is happy to answer questions about costs and available payment options.
Cherry offers payment plans that allow approved applicants to divide eligible veterinary expenses into smaller payments over time.
This option may be helpful when your pet needs a larger procedure, unexpected medical care, diagnostic testing, or another recommended service and you would prefer to spread the cost across multiple payments. You can review the available terms before choosing a plan.
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance can help offset eligible veterinary expenses when your pet becomes sick, gets injured, or needs certain types of medical treatment. Coverage varies by insurance company and policy, so we encourage pet owners to review plan details carefully when choosing coverage.
Most pet insurance works through reimbursement. You typically pay Salem Veterinary Hospital at the time of service and then submit your invoice and medical documentation to your insurance provider for reimbursement according to your policy.
Our team can provide the records and invoices you may need when filing a claim.
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that can help you finance eligible veterinary expenses and pay them over time.
Pet owners may choose CareCredit for routine veterinary visits, diagnostics, dental treatment, surgery, unexpected illnesses, and other medical needs. Available financing terms depend on CareCredit approval and the options offered through your account.
Scratchpay provides veterinary payment plans for eligible pet care expenses. Pet owners can apply online, review available payment options, and select a plan that fits their needs if approved.
Scratchpay may be used for many types of veterinary care, including sick visits, diagnostics, dental procedures, surgery, and other treatments recommended by your veterinarian.
Cash & Credit Cards
Salem Veterinary Hospital also accepts cash and major credit cards for veterinary services and products.
Before moving forward with recommended treatment, our team will review your pet’s care plan and associated costs so you know what to expect and can make informed decisions about their care.
