Wellness Plans

Wellness plans are a great way to save on your annual visits. We have various plan options, depending on your budget and the stage of your pet’s life.

Wellness plans also complement most types of pet insurance. Please ask us for more information.

Insurance Options

Pet insurance works well in cases of injury and illness. 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 using pet insurance, payment is due when services are rendered and then your insurance company will reimburse you if applicable.

If you're looking for a pet insurance provider, we suggest checking out Trupanion, ASPCA Pet Insurance, Nationwide Pet Insurance, PetPlan, or Pawlicy Advisor.

CareCredit

CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed to help you pay for your pet’s health and wellness over time instead of having to pay for everything all at once.

Your CareCredit card can be used for a variety of veterinary procedures, including:

  • Exams
  • Spay and neutering
  • Dental cleaning
  • Parasite control and prevention
  • Medication
  • Vaccinations
  • Surgical procedures
  • And more

Scratch Pay

A veterinary loan company, Scratch Pay is not a credit card and does not affect your credit score when you apply for approval. Scratch Pay can be easily done from any smartphone, after a treatment estimate from Carol Stream Animal Hospital has been provided. Apply now at scratchpay.com.

"This is not my normal vet, but we had an emergency and our dog was actively choking with labored breath, and Carol Stream Animal hospital was the closest option. I walked in with my dog in distress; there was a tech up front who took one look at my pup and rushed to help. The receptionist helped me clean myself up, as my dog had an accident due to her distress. The receptionist took my information and got me settled while I waited. The tech checked back in with me for a history while the team worked to help my dog. Once my dog was no longer in immediate danger Dr. McCarthy came in and talked to me, she kept me informed on my dogs progress and was very personable and kind. Everyone was professional and caring during a very intense and scary situation. Both my dog and I got everything we needed out of the situation. Cannot commend them enough for acting fast when they noticed my dog's condition and for keeping me informed while prioritizing my dog. I didn't think I would be going home with my dog, but they made sure I did."
