Payment Options

At Riverbend Animal Hospital, we accept cash, debit cards, money orders, and the following credit cards: VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. We do not accept personal checks.

Payment is due when services are rendered. New clients are asked to prepay the exam fee when scheduling their first appointment. When patients are booked for surgery or other in-hospital procedures, a deposit of 75% of the estimate is due. The balance is due when a patient is discharged.

The Dakin Spay/Neuter Clinic in Springfield provides affordable, high-quality surgery for dogs and cats.

The Humane Society of the U.S. has a comprehensive list of pet financial aid-related organizations throughout the United States.
