All the vets in my area are affiliated with an emergency service so if you need their services but dont have the funds in an emergency they sent the bill to your regular vet for payment. Again the important thing is your pet gets the treatment needed. Perhaps they're more trusting where I live, dont know about city vets, but most big cities have animal hospitals run by charities like the blue-cross or pdsa, so theres always somewhere to turn to.
