If you cannot find assistance, consider the following:
1. Call all the Vets in your area for prices (comparison shopping will save you money).
2. Ask the Vet if he/she will let you make two or more payments.
3. Look into CareCredit's no interest payment plans 1-800-365-8295 or similar plans. As with all credit plans, be sure you can afford to repay these credit card type loans.
3. If your pet is young and healthy, consider declining the optional labwork (can save about $30 on the surgery).
4. A Rabies vaccination is the only preventive shot or medication mandated by Florida law for pet owners. Although we highly recommend other vaccinations, they are not legally required.
