Insurance & Payments

A deposit may be required for some treatments or hospitalized care. Healthcare plans requiring comprehensive care may require a 50% deposit to begin your pet's treatment. While we sometimes offer in-house payment options for emergencies on a case-by-case basis, we do charge 1.5% interest on all outstanding account balances older than 30 days. If an account becomes 120 days past due, Charlotte Street Animal Hospital may choose to refer your account to an outside collection agency.

Charlotte Street Animal Hospital charges $27 for returned checks.

Wellness Plans & Preventative Care Plans

We have various plan options, depending on your budget and the stage of your pet’s life.

Wellness plans also complement most types of pet insurance. If you're interested in these plans, you can sign up by filling out the appropriate Patient Forms.

Insurance Options

Pet insurance works well in cases of injury and illness. Pet insurance premiums are typically paid on a monthly basis and can be used to help offset some of your pet’s treatment costs.

When using pet insurance, payment is typically due when services are rendered and then your insurance company will reimburse you if applicable.

If you're looking for a pet insurance provider, we suggest checking out Trupanion or PetHealthZone from Nationwide.
