Payment Options

In order to focus on our patients’ needs, customer service and minimizing costs, we do not bill. We request that you pay for services provided at the time of your pet’s visit. If you have any questions about our payment policy, please feel free to ask.

1. We accept cash, checks (with Driver’s License), MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, Debit, and Care Credit.

2. When unexpected illness strikes a pet, unexpected expense strikes as well. Lakeside Veterinary Hospital understands this and is able to make some special arrangements through the CareCredit program. It takes just 5 minutes to complete an application and will allow you to break down your payment into 3 monthly installments. You can apply online at: www.CareCredit.com.
