Payment Options at Dogwood Veterinary Specialty & Emergency
At Dogwood Veterinary Hospital, we believe every pet deserves high-quality care and every pet parent deserves clarity and convenience when it comes to payment.
Payment is due at the time services are provided, and we accept several forms of payment to make your visit as smooth as possible.
You’re welcome to pay using cash, debit, or major credit cards. For clients who prefer to spread out the cost of care, we also offer flexible financing options through Cherry, CareCredit, and Scratchpay. Each option provides simple, secure application processes designed to help you manage your pet’s healthcare costs with confidence.
Explore the options below to see how each one can help make your pet’s care more manageable.
