Pet ownership can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Pets bring companionship, fun, laughter and unconditional friendship into our lives and as pet owners we owe it to our pets to provide the best healthcare for them.

We would highly recommend any pet owner to buy pet insurance for their pets. We do not offer in house billing and as such payment is due at time of service. Insurance can help the burden of medical bills by reimbursing clients directly. Go to our pet links tab at the bottom of this page to access more information on pet insurance, including a link which compares rates and coverage’s.

In addition to cash and all major credit cards, there are two other financial programs we accept at Midnight Sun Animal Hospital.

SCRATCHPAY
Scratchpay is a convenient, easy to apply for payment method that offers various payment plans depending on how much the treatment will cost. It works just like a small personal loan, with variable repayment rates sometimes as low as 0% APR. Applying for Scratchpay does not affect your credit score and can be done on your smartphone or computer. Go to www.scratchpay.com to apply or for more information.

CARECREDIT
Carecredit is another convenient payment option we accept. Unlike Scratchpay, Carecredit is a line of credit clients can use a vet clinics, dentists and other medical offices. Instead of a fixed personal loan it gives people the flexibility of a credit card. We offer 0% interest for 6 months at Midnight Sun Animal Hospital. Go to www.carecredit for more information or to apply.

Try as we might, as pet owners sometimes we just aren’t prepared for a large bill that can come with emergency treatment. There are times when as pet owners we must look to other sources for financial assistance. For those that need it we have compiled a list of organizations that may be able to offer this much needed help*. Most are funded through private donations from the public.

*This is in no way an exhaustive list and pet owners are encouraged to do their own research. Midnight Sun Animal Hospital is not affiliated with any of the following organizations and gives no guarantee of funding.
