Synchrony announced that its CareCredit health and wellness credit card has been named the preferred financing partner for the Texas A&M University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for CareCredit, solidifying its presence in all 29 public veterinary university hospitals in the country. This new collaboration reflects the company's commitment to supporting the veterinary community and ensuring pet parents have access to care for their beloved pets.
The new collaboration with Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital is particularly impactful due to its position as home to one of the larger veterinary referral networks in the country, servicing a wide range of animal populations. This allows CareCredit to extend its availability to a new community because the ability to manage the cost of veterinary care is paramount. CareCredit's acceptance at Texas A&M provides pet parents with access to a variety of financing options, including shorter- and longer-term financing options, allowing them to choose the best fit for their budget.
Pet parents can see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card in real time, with no impact to their credit score, and apply on any smart device at the provider location or apply over the phone. A credit decision is typically provided within a few seconds, and if approved, they can use their account to pay for their pet's care right away. This flexibility helps pet parents to provide the necessary care for their pets, from routine check-ups to emergency treatments.
For more than 35 years, CareCredit has been a valuable financing option for all types of veterinary services, treatments, and diagnostics at locations in the network, giving pet owners peace of mind that they are ready to care for their pets throughout their lifetime. In addition to acceptance at the nation's veterinary university hospitals, CareCredit is recommended by the American Animal Hospital Association and is a Preferred Partner for the American Veterinary Medical Association. CareCredit is currently offered in more than 26,000 veterinary practices across the U.S.
