By having a Care Credit card allows to take my (2) dachshunds to the vet for their annual check-up.Otherwise, I would not be able to handle the amount of money it takes to pay for their services all at once.For the last 2 years I had to put one my dogs on the back burner and just take one but this year I took both within a week of each other because I could pay each month through Care Credit.
