Do you have an estimate for surgery or a procedure your pet needs and now you’re thinking ‘How on earth am I going to pay for this?’ We know vet bills can be daunting and often large bills come with unexpected news which can make things even worse.
We have a number of different payment options, including ‘Treat Now, Pay Later’ options that can be tailored to suit your needs, depending on which you choose to go with.
Before booking in your appointment with us, it is important to have a payment method organised with the clinic as payment is required upon discharge of all patients.
A popular buy now, pay later option available in-clinic. If you have an AfterPay account, simply present your digital card on your phone to tap and pay, just like at the shops. Ensure you have enough available credit before arriving to collect your pet. To apply for a new account, visit www.afterpay.com.au/en-AU.
Zip Pay offers up to $1,000 credit (interest-free forever), while Zip Money provides up to $5,000 credit (interest-free for 6 or 12 months). If you have Zip Pay, use your digital card to tap and pay. Zip Money payments must be processed via our online portal—please inform reception. Ensure you have enough credit before arriving. Apply at https://zip.co/au.
A veterinary-specific payment plan that pays us upfront while you repay in fortnightly installments. If using VetPay, ensure you have enough credit to cover costs and inform reception. A 10% deposit is required at discharge. For details, fees, and applications, visit www.vetpay.com.au.
A flexible payment option with no individual credit check—assessing the industry and income instead. Applications start in-clinic, even if you already have an account. Book a time to apply if choosing Humm. A deposit is required, based on your estimate. Learn more at www.shophumm.com/au.
