A $2,500 surgery, and $75 of it goes to fees.
Vet work runs on big bills, and often urgent ones. Surgery, emergencies, tests, wellness plans. The fees grow right along with them. A busy clinic gives up tens of thousands a year it does not have to.

What vet clinics are up against
Big tickets, often urgent
An emergency surgery is not a $20 sale, and the fee is not a $20 fee. On a $2,500 procedure the card cost is real, and it repeats all day in a busy clinic.
Wellness plans need recurring billing
Monthly wellness plans only work if the card on file gets charged on time, every time. The charge has to run on its own. The front desk should not have to key it in each month.
Owners are stretched at the worst moment
A pet owner hit with a surprise surgery bill watches every dollar. How you handle the card fee has to respect that.
Practice software
Cornerstone, AVImark and ezyVet each expect payments to match back clean. Pick the wrong processor and end of day becomes a hunt by hand.
The program fit
Consumer financing
Details →Let owners say yes to the care their pet needs and pay over time. The clinic is paid in full up front. Often that is the gap between care and a hard talk.
Dual pricing
Details →Where it fits, a clear cash-or-card price keeps acceptance cost off the clinic's books without a checkout surprise. We tell you if it suits your clients.
Interchange plus
Details →You see the true cost, plus a small disclosed markup. Usually the cleanest fit for steady, big-ticket volume.
The systems we'd quote
Virtual terminal
Details →Keep a card on file for wellness plans and payment deals. Charge it on schedule. Key in phone payments too.
Countertop terminal
Details →A quick chip and tap terminal for the front desk. We set it up for your fee program before it arrives.
Clover
Details →One front-desk system. Payments, receipts, reports and a safe card-on-file vault.
Fair questions
Can you store a card on file for wellness plans?
Yes. A virtual terminal keeps the card safely on file. It charges monthly or yearly wellness plans on its own. The front desk never re-runs the card.
Can you work with what we use at the front desk, such as Cornerstone, AVImark or ezyVet?
We match you to a processor that posts back into your practice software. Payments and cards on file land where they should. End of day matches up on its own.
Can owners finance a large surgery?
Yes. We set up pet-owner financing. A client can say yes to the care and pay over time. Your clinic is paid in full up front. More pets get treated.
Should a vet clinic surcharge clients?
With care. A surprise surgery bill is the wrong time for a tense talk about fees. Many clinics would rather use dual pricing, or just eat the cost. We help you pick what fits your clients.
How does wellness-plan billing work?
On a set schedule against the card on file. We configure it to run on its own each month or year so it does not add front-desk work.
