At home, she cares for her son as well as pets Tooey (a Lab-German Shepherd cross), Tabitha (a cat) and Wilt (a Peking Duck). She joins us most Sundays here at Mar Vista Animal Medical Center.

CareCredit Website Now Allows On Line Applications
WHAT IS CARECREDIT ANYWAY? CareCredit is a special medical credit card that provides interest-free payment plans for veterinary care for your pets, dental care for yourself, ophthalmology services for yourself and more. Because it is a medical card (and not accepted at just about any store anywhere like a VISA or MasterCard) it is substantially easier to gain approval. WHY MIGHT I WANT A CARECREDIT CARD? You never know when a medical expense will come up and your budget may not be prepared. With a CareCredit card you can make reasonable payments interest free. WHAT OTHER HOSPITALS ACCEPT CARECREDIT? Because CareCredit has been endorsed by the American Animal Hospital Association, it is widely accepted at local veterinary groups including: The Animal Emergency Care Center (the local after hours emergency veterinary center), The Veterinary Cancer Group plus there are human medical practices that also accept this card. For more information on practices local to you that accept CareCredit, call 1-800-839-9078 HOW DO I APPLY FOR A CARD? Previously, you had to come in and do your application in person so that your identification could be checked. Now an on-line application is available. It only takes a few minutes to approve you and establish a credit line. To apply, visit: [Back to Index at Top of Page]
We can spay or neuter a feral cat you bring in at NO COST to you, thanks to the Feral Cat altering project, sponsored by the California Veterinary Medical Association and a generous grant from Maddie’s Fund. The program is scheduled to end on June 30, 2002. That’s ten months away to take advantage of this opportunity to get any feral cats around your property spayed or neutered, helping to deal with the overpopulation of these unowned cats, and protecting the feral cats from euthenasia should they ever be captured by animal control. For more information on this program, click here. [Back to Index at Top of Page]
