Payment Options at Ocean Avenue Veterinary Hospital

All of these plans are designed to charge a modest monthly fee and then pay out benefits as your pet needs them for routine preventive wellness care and should your pet become ill or injured. However, the range of cost for coverage can be rather large, as we have seen higher-end pet insurance plans charge up to $100 per month, while the lower end can be around $10 per month.

Of course, within this price range, there are differences as to what each plan will or will not cover. We have found that the median range, though, is around $30 per month for a fairly comprehensive plan.

There are also deductibles, coverage limits, and claims processes that you must be aware of before purchasing a pet insurance plan. We can help you understand these issues and are more than willing to work with you so that you find a plan you are happy with.

Pet insurance is not the only option when it comes to covering health care costs for a pet. For example, CareCredit works like a credit card by reimbursing veterinarians for expensive procedures and then allowing the client to repay the company with interest over time.

This means that if your pet becomes ill or suffers an injury, rather than having to pay the full cost at the time services are rendered, CareCredit will cover the cost and you can pay in smaller, more manageable payments over time. For many clients, this may provide the reassurance they need that their pet will be cared for in time of an emergency.
