Payment Options for Your Pet's Care in Jacksonville, FL

Clear pricing before any service, financing options when you need them, and a predictable monthly plan if you'd rather budget for care in advance.

Trusted by Jacksonville pet families since 1988. Cost explained before service, every time. No surprise bills at checkout.

No Surprise Bills at Checkout

One of the most common frustrations pet owners describe is the checkout counter surprise: a routine visit that turns into a bigger bill than expected because the cost of each add-on wasn't clear beforehand. A vaccine here, a lab panel there, an exam fee that wasn't quite top of mind when the appointment was booked, and suddenly the number on the screen is higher than anyone planned for.

At SJB, cost gets explained before any service, not after. If something during your visit needs a decision, an additional diagnostic test or a recommended treatment, we'll tell you what it costs and what it involves before moving forward, so you're never caught off guard. This applies to out-of-pocket payment, Care Credit financing, and Complete Care Wellness Plan coverage alike.

We believe predictable care and predictable cost go together. That's part of why wellness plans exist at all, and why every payment conversation here starts with information, not a surprise.

Payment Methods We Accept

  • Most major credit cards, cash, and check are accepted at time of service. For larger expenses, Care Credit financing and our Complete Care Wellness Plans offer additional flexibility, detailed below.

Care Credit Financing

  • Care Credit lets you finance veterinary care into manageable monthly payments, which can help when a larger expense comes up unexpectedly, whether that's a surgical procedure, an extended hospitalization stay, or a diagnostic workup for a chronic condition. Our front desk team can walk you through the application process at check-in, and approval decisions are typically fast enough to use the same day if needed.
  • Care Credit works alongside any other payment option here. Plan members and non-members alike are welcome to apply.

Military Discounts

  • Active-duty and veteran families make up a meaningful part of the Jacksonville community we serve, including many connected to Mayport and NAS Jax. Military discounts are available. Let our team know at check-in, and we'll apply it to your visit.
  • We also understand that deployment schedules and PCS moves create real logistical challenges for military families, particularly around boarding and continuity of care. Our team is happy to talk through how our services can fit around a military family's specific timeline.

Complete Care Wellness Plans

For families who'd rather budget for routine care in advance, Complete Care Wellness Plans bundle exams, vaccines, and diagnostics into one flat monthly payment starting at $59. No per-visit billing for what's covered, and no surprise math at the counter for the basics. Four life-stage plans mean the coverage actually matches what your pet needs, whether that's a puppy's more frequent vaccine schedule or an adult dog's annual wellness rhythm.
