We like to keep payment policies straightforward, because veterinary visits already come with enough moving parts.
Payment is due at the time services are provided. Yorkville Animal Hospital does not offer in-house payment plans, but we do accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
If you have questions about an estimate, payment policy, or what may be involved in your pet’s visit, please ask our team before services are provided. We’re happy to walk through the details so there are no surprises.
Planning Ahead for Veterinary Care
We recommend including veterinary care in your annual household budget when possible. Routine care, such as exams, vaccines, dental cleanings, testing, and parasite prevention, is easier to manage when it is planned in advance.
Yorkville Animal Hospital’s Wellness Plans can help make preventive care more predictable by spreading the cost of regular services into monthly payments. These plans are designed to support ongoing care and may help reduce the sting of larger routine visits by keeping key services organized throughout the year.
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance can be helpful for unexpected illness, injury, emergency care, or treatment that falls outside routine preventive visits. While wellness plans help with planned care, insurance may help provide financial support when something unplanned happens.
Coverage varies by provider and policy, so we recommend researching options carefully and choosing a plan that fits your pet, your budget, and your comfort level. Be sure to review details such as waiting periods, exclusions, deductibles, reimbursement rates, and whether pre-existing conditions are covered.
Yorkville Animal Hospital does not offer pet insurance directly, but we can provide invoices and medical records when needed for claim submission. If you have questions about how pet insurance generally works, our team can point you in the right direction.
