From taking the time to provide proper socialization and training to selecting the perfect diet, a lot goes into giving your furry friend the best possible life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to good veterinary care, cost must come into the picture at some point. Proactive wellness care and preparation for emergencies and illness is part of responsible pet ownership. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bowmanvet.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bowman Veterinary Hospital<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> knows that pet care comes at a price, and that\u2019s why we like to help our clients understand all their payment options.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning Ahead<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To a certain extent, pet care costs are predictable. It is a smart and prudent practice to sit down and write out an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyunder30.com\/the-true-cost-of-pet-ownership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">annual expected budget for your pet\u2019s care<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each year. Things like feeding, vaccinations, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/the-key-to-pet-dental-health-prevention\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dental cleanings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and parasite prevention are fairly predictable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If possible, work these things into your budget. You may want to include some funds for unexpected expenses as well. If your dog gets diarrhea or your cat experiences urinary problems you don\u2019t want to be caught between a rock and a hard place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many people, it makes sense to cover the gaps when it comes to unexpected expenses with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/the-big-question-is-pet-insurance-worth-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pet insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are many options out there, but many of our clients choose to use Trupanion which offers DirectPay at our hospital. This means that they pay covered expenses before you leave the hospital, minimizing out of pocket expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people also like to create a savings account particularly for their pet. Any bank account will do, but if you prefer we can accept forward payment on your account to apply to future visits. This way the funds are sure to be reserved for pet care.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working Through Immediate Expenses<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes the best laid plans cannot anticipate all of the possibilities. Pets develop cancer, accidents occur, and bones break. When serious illness or injury happen, no one wants finances to play a major role in the decisions that they must make for their pets.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your budget and insurance cannot accommodate the expenses of your pet\u2019s care, you are not without options.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecredit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CareCredit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a credit-based payment option that can be used in our office. You can apply for a line of credit quickly and easily online. Then, use the credit to pay for your pet\u2019s needs. When these expenses are over $200, no interest applies if paid in full within six months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication is key as well. In these situations we want to offer the best possible care for your pet. If you fill us in on whatever restrictions you may have, though, sometimes there are expenses that can be avoided if absolutely necessary. There may be some increased risk associated with this choice, but many times that is better than no treatment at all or euthanasia.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do not know what your financial situation is, so communication with us is key when it comes to modifying your payment plan.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/staff\/our-veterinarians.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wants to help your pet receive the care that they need and we hope to work together with you to make that happen. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/#contact\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call us today<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so that we can discuss the possibilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking good care of a pet comes with a lot of responsibility.
