What happens during a visit to our animal hospital?

A thorough physical examination of your pet is one of the most important events in keeping your furry friend in his or her best possible health. If your pet is due for vaccines, they will be discussed with your pet’s overall health in mind. There is no “cookie-cutter” recommendation for when pets need vaccines. We want to make sure your pet has no underlying problems that may result in severe illness before we administer any vaccines and before little problems become big problems. The doctor will make a “risk assessment” based on recent outbreaks of disease in the area and your pet’s lifestyle. We use the latest and safest vaccine technology. There ARE differences in vaccines available in the market place!

During these visits, we’ll discuss vaccines, parasite prevention, diet and weight management, laboratory recommendations, and oral care recommendations.

Payment Options

We provide estimates for all treatments and procedures. We encourage owners to request an estimate for treatment if one was not provided.

  • Payment is expected when services are rendered. In order to focus on our patients’ needs, customer service and minimizing costs, we do not bill.
  • We accept debit cards, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express), checks, and cash.
  • When unexpected illness strikes a pet, unexpected expense strikes as well.  Academy Animal Hospital understands this and is able to make some special arrangements through the CareCredit program.
    • It only takes 5 minutes to complete an application and will allow you to break down your payment into 6 monthly installments. You can either apply at our hospital by filling out an application for immediate approval, or apply yourself online at: www.carecredit.com

Highlights of the CareCredit program:

  • Low Monthly Payments (3% of the Total Balance)
  • Interest-Free For 6 Months
  • Determine Approval in a Few Minutes
  • No Annual Fee
