As impossible as it may sound in this economy, everyone needs to be able to get their hands on about $1,000 asap in case of emergency. That's why having an account set up that you add to monthly or a pre-approved Care Credit account is essential. Some illnesses and injuries just can't wait until your regular vet gets back in on Monday.

Got'cha, and very good point to bring out...I'm blessed, as I've got it covered...but good advice for those that may not have set aside enough money...I was aware, when I took out the policy, that all fees would have to be paid "up front" and I'd be reimbursed...
