Most vet clinics won't take payments--they'll take credit cards/cash/care credit/checks. I work at a clinic and feel bad when people call and say this is what's going on, but I don't have any money. Sometimes we can advise of things they can do at home--or we refer them to the humane society. I know of at least 2 new clients in the last month that have had an emergency and promised to be back next week to pay--guess what, we haven't seen hide or hair of the people. What makes me really sad about that--is the honest ones that truely will come in and pay won't get the chance because of the jerks who walk off and don't pay. I hope all you newbies reading this won't feel like you can't ask questions because you will get a lot of great advice/info on here. |
