London’s Emergency Foreign Body Surgery

VetBilling.com Success Story from:

Jaylene Marcotte


Like lots of dogs, London occasionally gets into some mischief and it’s usually harmless. But this time it wasn’t so harmless. London ate some twine and ended up with a very painful belly. His mom, Jaylene, ended up with a vet bill of over $3000, because London needed emergency surgery to save his life.

When a dog ingests string or twine, it is always an emergency because these types of linear foreign bodies tend to get stuck. There is a higher risk of intestinal perforation, which can lead to perotonitis (life-threatening inflammation of the membrane lining the abdominal cavity) or sepsis (life-threatening bacterial infection of the blood.)

Fortunately Jaylene was able to quickly get London to a nearby emergency veterinary hospital for surgery.

We’re happy to report that London has made a full recovery and is doing well.

Jaylene wrote to thank us for the VetBilling® payment plan that helped her manage the cost of London’s care: “This was a very expensive procedure but fortunately I was able to set up easy bi-weekly payments.”

We’re thrilled that she included a photo of London’s adorable mug, too. It made our day!

Jaylene’s payment plan for London:

Total cost of treatment: $3,401.40
Down payment: $1,500.00
Payments: 16 bi-weekly at $121.84
Status: Paid in full on time
Treating veterinarian: Bay Area Pet Hospital

VetBilling's purpose is to expand financial access to veterinary care for pet owners across the entire socioeconomic spectrum. Our mission is to reduce economic euthanasia and owner surrender of pets when pet owners can’t pay the full upfront cost of veterinary care all at once. We accomplish this by giving veterinarians the tools to successfully offer a variety of novel payment solutions, including in-house payment plans, pay-in-advance plans, pet savings accounts, and monthly wellness plans.

Using our secure, cloud-based web software, veterinarians can set up customized payment solutions for clients in just minutes. VetBilling manages all payments for the veterinary practice, and provides full payment recovery and collection services if necessary.
