Sissy’s Deadly Snakebite

VetBilling.com Success Story from:

Carol Rangel


Sissy is a 6 year old Chiweenie whose curious nature led her into a showdown with a rattlesnake in her yard, and she was bitten. Sissy’s mom, Carol, panicked. She immediately called her local vet, but they didn’t have the anti-venom that could save Sissy’s life.

Carol was referred by her vet to the team at Powers Pet Emergency & Specialty in Colorado Springs, where Sissy could be treated. The treatment – fluids, pain meds, antibiotics, and antivenom – saved Sissy’s life. But it was expensive, and Carol – who moved to Colorado from Texas after her home was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey – couldn’t afford the entire cost upfront.

Says Carol, “I am on a fixed income, and [the vet] recommended VetBilling® to help pay for the treatment. VetBilling® made it possible for me get Sissy the care she needed and pay for it in easy payments. Without it my Sissy would have died.”

Carol’s payment plan for Sissy:

Total cost of treatment:  $944.56
Down payment:             $500.00
Payments:                      4 monthly at $111.14
Status:                           Paid in full on time

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.
