Payment Options
Every patient is different, but we do everything we can to give you a clear estimate once we’ve examined your pet. See what to expect.
Financing Options
DoveLewis partners with three third-party financing providers.
Cherry: Offers flexible payment plans similar to services like Affirm or Klarna. Cherry typically has the quickest application process and instant decisions.
CareCredit: A medical credit card that can be used at many veterinary and human healthcare providers. It may offer promotional financing options depending on eligibility.
Scratchpay: Provides short-term medical loans designed specifically to help cover the cost of today’s visit at DoveLewis.
Discounted Emergency Care for Qualified Households
We provide discounted exams by appointment for financially qualifying households. Compassionate euthanasia is no cost for those who qualify.
Appointments are available Friday – Sunday and must be booked in advance. Families who are denied financing through Cherry or Scratchpay—or approved for less than the cost of a full-price exam—might qualify for discounted care with proof of income or government assistance.
How Much Will it Cost?
Discounts are based on financing outcomes, proof of financial need, appointment schedules, and fund availability.
How to Get a Discounted Exam
- Apply for financing through Cherry or Scratchpay. If you are declined or approved at a rate lower than the cost of a full-price exam, then you can apply for a discounted exam.
- Complete the financial aid application which includes proof of income or government assistance.
- DoveLewis will review the application.
If approved, book any available appointment. A deposit equal to 50% of the appointment cost is required to secure your appointment time. If no appointments are available, please check back for newly released times.

About Financial Aid
How can I qualify for financial aid?
Discounted exams are available by appointment after successfully completing the application.
Our online appointment and application process lets you know if you'll qualify for financial aid in advance of your arrival, so you can focus on your pet's visit. The discount covers the cost of an exam by appointment and do not include diagnostics, wound care, surgery, or hospitalization.
Is there anything that financial aid doesn’t cover?
Yes. We’d like to help every animal, but some medical care is better served by a primary veterinarian or will not improve the quality of life of the animal. Discounts apply only to the cost of an exam with a doctor and cannot be combined with other treatments.
