CareCredit, a leader in veterinary financing for 25+ years, keeps equine veterinarians at the heart of care by helping clients manage the cost of their horse’s care with simple, budget-friendly financing options. Clients can pay at the time of service and the practice gets paid quickly. CareCredit also provides a contactless and friendly digital solution that enables clients to learn, prequalify with no impact to their credit score, apply and pay with the CareCredit credit card from their mobile device. By bridging the gap between cost and care, CareCredit supports a healthy financial relationship between veterinarians and horse owners. Together, they can confidently move forward with the recommended care a horse needs, when it’s needed.
