Does anyone know a good vet in NJ that takes payment plans? My yorkie needs surgery to remove stones from his bladder and kidneys and i cant afford to pay it all upfront. Help please!

Oooh, I'm so sorry to hear about your baby's condition. I had a yorkie many years ago that suffered the same problem with kidney/bladder stones. I hope your baby isn't too uncomfortable.

Do you have a vet? I found that talking to a vet you know directly sometimes also works. I've asked a vet for a payment option one time (with a prior dog) and he accepted. I think it's best to have this discussion with the vet personally - and not the front office.

Sometimes larger animal hospitals offer financing as well.

I wish you and your baby the very best and a swift recovery. Goo luck.

I agree. Sometimes talking to your vet helps.
