Payment options
More flexibility. Less worry.
Unexpected or emergency vet bills can catch us by surprise. Thankfully, The Pines Vet now offers a number of payment options to help ease the financial stress of vet visits.
Zip Pay
For amounts under $1,000, Zip Pay lets you pay your bill back over time in weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments. Zip Pay is interest-free and doesn’t require a deposit. Monthly account fees are as low as $7.95 a month, but if you pay your statement closing balance by the due date, they’ll waive the fee! It’s as easy as downloading the app and creating an account – just one click and your tailored payment plan is sorted!

VetPay is a payment plan that lets you pay for your pet’s treatment over time. You pay your vet an initial deposit, and VetPay direct debits the balance in fortnightly repayments from your nominated bank account. VetPay charges an annual fee of $49 and applies an interest rate (APR 18.4%) to the remaining amount after your deposit. These fees and charges are added to your account and included in the fortnightly repayments. Once you have an account, additional treatment can be added to it as long as your fortnightly payments are up to date and you are within your credit limit.
You can work out your repayments using VetPay’s Repayment Calculator.
