Payment
We suggest that you find out in advance of the appointment what the practice’s terms are with regards to payment for euthanasia or aftercare such as cremation:
• Some vets will send an invoice a few days later which can be helpful at the time of euthanasia but is then upsetting to receive the reminder.
• Some vets ask for payment on the day which can also be upsetting but avoids further reminders of your loss.
• Some vets will take payment in advance, either on the day but before your pet is at rest, or afterwards out in the reception area or in the consultation room.
Whichever option your practice offers and you decide, knowing in advance means that you are aware of the financial aspects and are not surprised or upset further by receiving the request for payment in a way that you wouldn’t have chosen.
