When is payment expected?
Payment is expected when services are rendered. In order to focus on our patients’ needs, customer service, and minimizing costs, we do not bill.
We accept debit cards, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express) checks and cash. All cards must be signed by the owner of the card.

Insurance For Your Pets
Another popular option for your family and pets, is pet health insurance coverage. At Riverside Veterinary Hospital, we believe medical insurance for pets is an important part of responsible pet ownership. It can help pet owners budget for any unexpected illnesses or injuries that their pets may face over their lifetime. We are happy to work with any provider you may currently be insured with. If you are not insured, we recommend that you look into it and see if it’s right for you. To learn more about pet health insurance, please visit the North American Pet Health Insurance Association at www.naphia.org. We also have materials available in our hospital for you to learn more about coverage options.
We can accept payment directly from Trupanion for our Trupanion-insured clients at checkout. We like Trupanion and have had good experiences with them. For more information on Trupanion pet health insurance click on the logo:
