Shores Animal Hospital Financing

Payment Options

  • Call us with any questions about financing and accepted forms of payment. We do not want concerns about payment to prevent you from providing your pet with needed veterinary care.

  • Shores Animal Hospital requires full payment at the time services are rendered. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card, cash, personal checks with proper identification and CareCredit (see below).

Military Discounts

Shores Animal Hospital salutes our veterans, active duty and retired military with 15% discount on services.

Gainesville Animal Rescue Organizations

Shores Animal Hospital is happy to work with local animal rescue groups. Pre-approval is required to qualify for the rescue group discounts. Please call us for more information.
​​​​​​​

Client Referrals

We appreciate recommendations to other Gainesville pet owners - each referral of a new client is a $10 credit on your account!

Pet Wellness Plans

Save money and provide yourself with peace of mind. Make quality healthcare affordable for your pet with Pet Wellness Plans from Shores Animal Hospital. Learn more about this opportunity to budget for your pet's medical bills.

Pet Insurance

Another option is pet insurance like Trupanion. 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 your pet gets ill or injured, we want you to be able to focus on the health and well-being of your pet. Medical insurance can help you deal with unexpected veterinary expenses and provide your pet with the best medical care. Trupanion can cover a significant portion of your veterinary bill (up to 90% of eligible costs*) in minutes. With a Trupanion policy, our clients often pay only their part of the bill at checkout and leave the hospital without waiting for claim approvals and reimbursements. You can learn more about Trupanion coverage and direct payments at Trupanion.com.

We can now submit claims electronically at checkout, so if your pet is covered by a Trupanion policy, you can skip the traditional claims and reimbursement process. You can pay only your portion of the bill (as little as 10%) —Trupanion pays the rest of the balance directly to us at checkout!

Shores Animal Hospital has an exclusive Exam Day Offer for immediate coverage from Trupanion. Ask us for this certificate offer during your next visit!

CareCredit

We realize pet medical bills might not be in your budget and encourage our clients to take advantage of CareCredit financing rather than forego treatment when your pet needs it the most. CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed to help you pay for your pet’s health and wellness over time without having to pay for everything all at once.

Dr. Shores Lifetime Achievement Veterinary Care Fund

Shores Animal Hospital created a charitable fund to offer grants to clients and non-profit organizations in Gainesville who need financial assistance to provide our life-saving veterinary care for their pets.

Pet owners find themselves financially unprepared to do what is needed to save their pet after an accident or during emergencies and face difficult decisions if they cannot afford treatment.

Shores Animal Hospital does not want clients to have to make that decision based solely on the stress of financial payment. Inspired to help less fortunate owners afford emergency pet care, we’ve established “The Dr. Stephen Shores Lifetime Achievement Veterinary Care Fund” with the Veterinary Care Foundation.
