• Veterinary Pet Insurance: This is the best option for emergency payment. We cannot stress the importance of insurance for your pet! You can't foreseen accidents or illness, but you can protect your pocketbook from the burden of such expense. But you must have the insurance before the accident or illness takes place. Don't wait until it's too late! Check out Veterinary Pet Insurance .
• The Jake Fund: The Jake Fund was established by Bob and Marlene Keyes in memory of their beloved "Jake" to help owners who may not be able to afford necessary emergency care for their pet due to financial strain. This program requires the owner to make budgeted monthly payments to pay back the loan. The payments are then redeposited back into the Jake Fund to be used over and over again. This Fund is responsible for saving hundreds of animals who may have been euthanized due entirely to finances. It is offered only through Meadowlands. (Availability is limited due to amount in the Fund at the time of services.)
• Care Credit: This is a "credit card" type plan provided by Bank One which allows the owner once again to make low monthly payments for services provided. A credit check is required and notification of acceptance is given before you leave the office. This is a wonderful way to "put off payments, not treatment". Once you've been accepted into the plan you may use your card to pay for your pet's health care instead of using major credit cards, checks, or cash making it easier to keep track of your pet's expenses. Great for emergencies or routine care.

• Puppy/Kitten Well Care Program: This program is only offered on the first visit for puppies and kittens. It offers all the routine care (examinations, vaccines, fecal exams, dewormings if necessary, vitamins, and heartworm preventive for the first 5 months) at a substantial savings!! Take advantage of this wonderful plan that saves you $$!
• Geriatric Programs: Any pet over the age of 8 years is considered a "senior citizen". This is a time in their life when we need to re-evaluate their health situation, like changing foods and monitoring their health more closely. A geriatric exam can spot many health problems due to aging early, thus making successful treatment a better possibility. This exam should be scheduled about 6 months after their vaccine exam so we are seeing them every 6 months.
  We offer two kinds of geriatric exams:
  1. Basic Exam: This exam is performed during an outpatient visit and consists of a physical exam, bloodwork (CBC, complete organ profile, electrolytes, thyroid check), and a urinalysis. You will receive an oral report of the doctor's findings and a copy of the bloodwork. This exam requires a 5 hour fast and a urine sample should be provided.
  2. Complete Exam: This exam consists of everything mentioned in the Basic Exam PLUS chest x-rays, EKG, and a stool sample check. You will receive a written report of the doctor's findings as well as copies of the bloodwork and EKG. This exam requires your pet to be dropped off for the day (to be spoiled rotten!) and an 8 hour fast. Urine and stool samples should be provided.

Don't let common geriatric conditions become a serious health concern! If caught early many of these conditions are treatable and often curable!
