After having emergency vet visits about wipe me out twice in one year, I discovered this little thing called "Care Credit." (My vet's office put me on to it.)
It is a line of credit specifically for medical purposes, including vets. We were approved for a $500 line of credit (suitable for most emergencies, barring those requiring major surgery.) We had to use it to pick up some of the bill for our last visit (which sadly resulted in having one of our kitties, Krissy, put to sleep) and the amount charged on the credit card is 6 months interest free.
Anyway, I thought I would share this. It can be used for people too - at doctors offices and dentists, etc. You can search and see who in your area accepts it. We already paid our balance off, but we are certainly keeping the card - I know it will save our butts in the future. I know that no one is made of money in this day and age, and something like this really gives you peace of mind.
