Why is CareCredit on my statement?

CareCredit operates as a specialized credit card designed specifically for out-of-pocket medical and veterinary expenses. If you applied for financing during an emergency vet visit, this charge is your monthly minimum payment toward that balance.

The payments are routed through Synchrony Bank, the financial institution that issues the CareCredit card. Many promotional financing offers require these strict monthly payments to avoid retroactive interest charges.

  1. Check Synchrony Portal Log into your CareCredit account online to view your total balance and promotional expiration dates.

Did my vet charge me twice?

No, the vet was paid in full by CareCredit at the time of service. You are now repaying CareCredit for the loan.

What happens if I miss a payment?

Missing a payment can void deferred interest promotions, causing all accrued interest from the date of purchase to be immediately added to your balance.

Managing deferred interest promotions

The most common feature of a CareCredit vet transaction is the 6, 12, or 18-month deferred interest promotion. You must pay off the entire principal balance before the promotional window expires.

Simply paying the minimum amount shown on your statement is rarely enough to clear the balance in time. You must divide the total original charge by the number of promotional months and pay that higher amount to safely avoid interest.

  1. Calculate Necessary Payment Divide your total vet bill by the promotional term length to find your true required monthly payment.
  2. Set Up Autopay Configure automatic payments through the Synchrony portal for that specific calculated amount.

Can I use CareCredit for normal vet checkups?

Yes, as long as the veterinary clinic is enrolled in the CareCredit provider network, you can use the card for routine visits.

Is this charge a scam?

If you never applied for a CareCredit card in a clinic or dental office, someone may have fraudulently opened an account in your name using your social security number.
