Payment is due when services are rendered. To minimize our costs (and keep our pricing down) we do not bill.
We accept all major credit cards including Care Credit, debit cards, checks and cash.
*There is a 3.5% service charge on all credit/debit card transactions.
**There is $35 fee applied to all returned checks. Any outstanding balance from a returned check must be paid in full within 5 days or the information will be turned over to Tazewell State’s Attorney’s Office – TAZEWELL COUNTY DEFERRED PROSECUTION. 334 Elizabeth St, SUITE 200. PEKIN, IL 61554
We understand an unexpected illness or accident can result in unexpected expenses as well. Pekin Animal Hospital recommends Care Credit. It only takes a few minutes to complete an application and once accepted owners have peace of mind knowing they are prepared for those unexpected expenses. Care Credit offers reduced interest rates on some purchases and can be used for a variety of medical needs, not only for your pet, but the rest of your family as well.
With shorter term financing options of 6, 12, or 18 months no interest is charged on purchases of $200 or more when you make the minimum monthly payments and pay the full amount due by the end of the promotional period. If you do not pay off the balance in the time allowed, interest is charged from the original purchase date.

Pet Insurance:
Pekin Animal Hospital will submit your insurance form (if you provide one) to your pet’s insurance company so you can be reimbursed for pet expenses. Payment is still due at time of service.
Whether or not to purchase pet insurance is a question a pet owner must answer for themselves. Just like medical insurance for humans, it’s best to get pet insurance when your pet is healthy and isn’t suffering from pre-existing conditions that rule it out for coverage or lead to you being charged a higher price. You cannot put an exact price on future veterinary costs, but you can put a price on piece of mind.
Hopefully, your pet will live a long, healthy life and, if they do, then at the very least the money you spend on insurance each year will have bought you a good night’s sleep. In the unfortunate event your pet does need expensive medical care, insurance will spare you the dilemma of digging into your hard-earned savings and keeping your loved one healthy. For owners considering pet insurance, there are many options out there with varying prices. For our client’s convenience, we have listed a few options for you:
