We accept VetPay but do not offer in-clinic payment plans. All services must be paid at the time they are provided (monthly payments are available for dairy clients). We accept all major credit cards except American Express, as well as cash and cheques.
Pet Insurance and Vet Pay
Pet Insurance has many benefits, most of which is peace of mind. Many of us consider our pets to be part of the family. Although when a pet becomes injured or sick, the reality of veterinary costs can come as quite a shock. Those that have chosen to insure their dogs or cats can focus on their health rather than the costs.
VetPay is specifically designed to help you pay for veterinary expenses without the worry of high upfront costs, particularly for emergency or unplanned medical treatments. VetPay sets up a payment plan and debits your bank account or credit card and pays your Fur Life Vet for the services provided. You can even get pre-approval for VetPay with no obligation to use it!
Pet Insurance
It is common for some clients to assume that a Medicare rebate is available for pets, but there are unfortunately no subsidies for veterinary care, including both preventative and emergency procedures. The costs associated with providing high quality veterinary care to your beloved pet can be very expensive, particularly in emergency situations, and we find that most people are unprepared! It is for this reason that we strongly recommend that all of our clients consider a pet insurance plan. This covers your responsibility as a loving and caring owner to provide the best treatment for your four-legged companion who is completely dependent upon you for their health and wellbeing.
GapOnly®
Only GapOnly® ready policies process your pet insurance claim while you’re still at the vet. You simply pay the gap (the difference between the vet’s invoice and your eligible claim benefit) and off you go.

VetPay
We understand how heartbreaking it can be when a beloved pet requires extensive veterinary treatment and the funds are not readily available. In some cases, this can mean owners are forced to make a decision not to treat their animal.
Our payment policy is that ALL visits are paid for at the end of each consultation and surgery. For this reason, we have paired up with a company called “VetPay” to cover the costs of those emergency visits that can unfortunately surprise us all. VetPay is a company that focuses in providing small loans specifically for veterinary treatment. The process of applying with VetPay involves a quick and simple approval process with us at the clinic and a small 10% deposit is made (dependent on the price of the procedure). VetPay will then pay for all of your pet’s treatment on the spot, while you make small repayments over time. VetPay is very flexible and will try their hardest to meet your needs, as we understand that each situation is completely different.
