Policy & Fees

At Metropolitan Veterinary Referral Services, we understand that unplanned pet care expenses may be overwhelming. At the time of your initial appointment, we will prepare a detailed estimate of the costs for your pet’s diagnostic and treatment plans. We will do our best to stay within our estimates. If your pet requires prolonged hospitalization or additional diagnostic testing, we will inform you of the additional expense involved and proceed only with your consent.

Payment in full is required at the time of discharge. We accept cash, personal checks, VISA, MasterCard and Discover.

CareCredit©

In order to help ease the burden of paying for treatment, we offer interest-free and low-interest financing options through CareCredit. CareCredit© allows you the choice of paying for specialty services over time.

With CareCredit you can:

• Get the care your pet needs immediately, including preventive, emergency and surgical treatment.
• Benefit from low minimum monthly payments.
• Finance up to 100% of the treatment cost
• Save your credit cards for household and unplanned expenses
• Choose between several payment plans
• No annual fee and no prepayment penalties
• No expiration date on your CareCredit card

Ask our Reception Staff for information on how you can apply for CareCredit yourself. The short application takes only a few minutes to complete and you will receive a quick decision.
