Financial Aid

At Animal Samaritans, we know there is nothing scarier than when one of our furry family members is sick, especially if you don’t have enough money to pay for their care.

In addition to our already low-priced, non-profit veterinary options, Animal Samaritans offers the following financial aid options to help those in need. Please call 760-343-3477 for more information.

  • Animal Samaritans is pleased to now offer Care Credit to our clients.

    CareCredit knows pets are family too. That’s why they offer veterinary financing to help keep your most cherished family members in top shape.

    Whether you use it to cover annual expenses like preventative care check-ups or for unexpected costs like pet prescriptions and house calls, the CareCredit healthcare credit card makes it easy to give your pets the care they need, when they need it. This is a credit card option available to those who are qualified.
