- help with out of pocket expenses
- low monthly payments
- interest free payments for 6 months

Pet Insurance
Pet insurance is another popular option to help with veterinary costs. These policies can be purchased through various providers, and is similar to your own health insurance. Pet policies generally offer coverage for routine exams, injuries, and sick visits. They may also help cover the costs of some surgical procedures, depending on the policy you choose. Southern Veterinary Hospital recommends purchasing pet insurance early on in your pet's health care.
It differs from human insurance, in that most pet insurance plans reimburse you, the policy holder directly rather than the veterinarian. You pay the vet bill, then submit a claim form to the insurance provider to get reimbursed. Costs and coverage will vary with individual policies. We've listed a few of the most popular ones below:
