Cost of Care

CAVES is committed to providing you excellent care for your pet at a reasonable cost.

As a premier veterinary emergency center in central New Hampshire, CAVES/VRCNH is staffed by highly-skilled, board-certified veterinary specialists and very qualified certified technicians. Our equipment and technology is state-of-the-art and upgraded as technology gets better. Many treatments and procedures are complex and involve the attention of multiple skilled professionals. Additionally, CAVES/VRCNH is operated 24-hours a day, seven days a week, so that your pet receives high-quality continuous care. All of these advantages incur certain costs, over and above what a non-specialized animal hospital needs to invest.


Accurate Estimate of Cost of Care

We will provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost of care for your pet, to the fullest possible extent. Often, because of the unpredictable nature of some conditions, the course of treatment and outcome, along with costs, cannot be fully predicted. Before treatment begins, the medical team will provide you with a recommended treatment plan and expense summary. Once you agree to a plan, you will be asked to sign the estimate and make a deposit if required.


Payment for Services

Payment for services is expected at the time of discharge. A deposit will be required if your pet is hospitalized and for certain procedures and treatments.

CAVES accepts cash, check, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.
