How Veterinary Care Financing Works

With over 60 million households across America caring for beloved pets, veterinary expenses have become a significant part of family budgets. The average household spends around $741 annually on veterinary care, but emergency situations and major procedures can easily exceed this amount in a single visit.

Reviews

A woman playing with her dogs ears

Jennifer K., Austin, TX⁵: “When Max my golden retriever tore his ACL, the surgery estimate was $4,000. I couldn’t bear the thought of him being in pain while I saved up the money. Yup Loans connected me with a lender within hours, and I had the money the same day. The funds were in my account the next morning, and Max had his surgery that afternoon. The monthly payments fit my budget, and seeing him run again made every cent worth it.”

Carl M., Denver, CO⁵: “My cat needed emergency surgery after eating something toxic. It was a Sunday night, and the emergency vet needed payment upfront – I was panicking. Yup Loans worked even at midnight, and I got connected with a lender who understood pet emergencies. By Monday morning, I had the funds and my cat was recovering. The process was respectful and straightforward during what was already a stressful time.”

Loans for Vet Bills FAQs

Can I get veterinary financing with bad credit?

You can get loans for pet medical financing even with a low credit score³. Unlike traditional lenders who might focus solely on your credit history, the lenders in our network consider multiple factors when reviewing applications for veterinary financing. People with previous financial challenges, bankruptcy records, or limited credit history successfully qualify for pet care loans. Our panel of lenders recognizes that credit scores don’t reflect your love for your pet or your commitment to their health.

How are your pet loans different from personal loans?

Pet care loans are personal loans that can be used specifically for your pet’s medical costs. The application process, approval criteria, and repayment terms function the same as other personal loans, but having a specific purpose like veterinary care can help you determine the right loan amount for your pet’s needs.

How long does the application and approval process take?

Our streamlined application process takes just minutes to complete, and you can receive a lending decision in approximately 3 minutes¹. Once approved, funds are typically deposited into your account as soon as the next business day*. If it’s urgent, some lenders in our network may offer emergency same-day loans if you complete your application early in the day.

What credit score is needed for vet financing? 

There’s no minimum credit score requirement to apply for veterinary financing through our network. Our lenders consider multiple factors beyond just your credit score when reviewing applications³. People with less-than-perfect credit, including those with previous bankruptcies or limited credit history, successfully qualify for pet care financing options. Your love for your pet and commitment to their health matter more than past financial challenges.

What loan terms do you offer pet owners?

Loan terms vary depending on the lender and your situation, but typically range from several months to a few years. Our network offers flexible repayment options with predictable monthly payments⁴, making it easier to budget for your pet’s care while managing other expenses. Specific terms, including interest rates and payment schedules, will be clearly disclosed before you accept any loan offer.

Should I use a credit card to help with vet bills instead of a loan?

Unlike credit cards with variable interest rates, veterinary financing typically offers fixed rates and predictable monthly payments⁴. Many pet owners find that veterinary loans offer better terms than high-interest credit cards, especially for larger expenses like surgeries. Pet care loans also don’t impact your existing credit card limits, preserving that credit for other needs.
