The AERC team loves animals. We are honored to partner with you to provide the best care for your pets. We recognize the unexpected and stressful nature of emergency and specialty care. No matter what care plan you choose, we will support your decision.

Payment is expected at the time services are rendered. We accept major credit and debit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. We also accept cash and checks.

Pet insurance is also a viable option for many pet owners, helping them pay the cost of unexpected veterinary care. There are a variety of pet insurance companies and plans, so feel free to contact us today if you need any guidance.

Another payment option at AERC is CareCredit, which offers flexible financing. The CareCredit health, wellness, and personal care credit card gives you a convenient, flexible way to pay for care for the whole family – including pets! With everyday promotional financing for purchases of $200 or more, you can pay over time with monthly payments.*
