- You can use Alphaeon Credit for veterinary care at enrolled practices only.
- Purchases of $250 or more can qualify for a promotional plan.
- Deferred-interest promos are $0 interest only if paid in full before they end.
- Low-APR plans give a fixed payment with no back-charged interest.
What you can pay for
At a veterinarian that accepts the card, you can usually put these on your Alphaeon Credit account:
- Pet surgery
- Emergency and urgent visits
- Pet dental cleanings and extractions
- Diagnostics and imaging
- Specialty and referral care
- Ongoing treatment plans
Example: a $3,200 treatment
Here’s what an illustrative $3,200 purchase could look like on each plan type. Your actual plans depend on the practice and the amount.
| Plan | Interest you pay | Monthly payment |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred interest, 12 mo | $0 if paid in full | $267/mo |
| Deferred interest, 24 mo | $0 if paid in full | $134/mo |
| Low APR, 36 mo at 18.90% | $1,017 | $117.14/mo |
| Low APR, 60 mo at 20.90% | $1,983 | $86.39/mo |
On a deferred-interest promo, paying only the minimum can leave a balance at the end, and then interest is charged on the full $3,200 back to the purchase date. Check your payoff number.
Tips before you sign
- In an emergency, ask the clinic right away which financing options they take.
- Pet insurance may reimburse part of the bill later. Use that money to pay down the promo balance.
- Ask for an estimate range for surgery so you know whether your credit line covers it.
