You may be surprised at how appreciative clients are to learn about financing options. These useful tips can help you have comfortable and supportive conversations about cost with clients.

Flexible Financing + Proactive Communication

52% of horse owners say they’ve faced an unexpected expense for their horse and worried about how to pay for it1

Talking about money doesn’t always come naturally. Rest assured, horse owners want to know their options. When you mention the CareCredit credit card, you’re helping them make an informed decision about their horse’s care. You may be surprised at how appreciative they are to learn about financing options.

These useful tips can help you have comfortable and supportive conversations about cost with clients:

  • Financial options are for everyone. Clients welcome information about the solutions you provide to help them manage the costs, including flexible financing with CareCredit. Be sure to communicate what your practice provides with everyone rather than waiting for them to ask — they might not feel comfortable or even know to ask.
  • Start early. Make sure you communicate the financing options such as CareCredit to every client so they know there are friendly ways to help manage the cost of their horse’s care. Many clients may feel uncomfortable asking or may be waiting for you to tell them. Horse owners will appreciate it.
  • Explain all the options. When it comes to cost management, every client is different, so provide them with a variety of choices for payment, including flexible financing with CareCredit. Make sure clients know that CareCredit helps give them a simple, budget-friendly way to pay in convenient monthly payments.*

How CareCredit Can Help Clients Be Prepared

Clients can use CareCredit at 25,000+ enrolled veterinary locations, including equine and mixed animal practices, equine specialty and ER hospitals, ambulatory practices as well as companion animal practices. CareCredit provides a dedicated payment solution that helps them be financially prepared for a Lifetime of Care for their horses.

Make it easy (in no time)

Let clients know they can scan a QR code to learn about financing, see if they prequalify (with no impact to their credit score), apply for CareCredit and get an instant credit decision — all on their smart device anytime, from anywhere. If approved, they can use their card again and again without reapplying. And, since the cost of veterinary care can vary widely, CareCredit offers special financing options from 6 months to 60 months.

Ready them for a Lifetime of Care

Clients might be feeling the stress about how to pay and may appreciate knowing CareCredit can be used for everything from wellness exams and unexpected illness or surgery to prescriptions, parasite control and diagnostics to see their financial commitment up front.

A Flexible Financing Solution for Your Equine Veterinary Practice

Looking for a way to give your clients a flexible way to pay for care throughout their horse's lifetime? Consider offering the CareCredit credit card as a financing solution. CareCredit allows horse owners to pay for equine veterinary services over time while helping to enhance the payments process for your practice.

When you accept CareCredit, clients can see if they prequalify with no impact to their credit score, and those who apply, if approved, can take advantage of special financing on qualifying purchases.* Additionally, you will be paid directly within two business days.
