EquiManagement has teamed up again with CareCredit—a health and animal care credit card from Synchrony—to bring the veterinary industry some powerful information about the cost of a lifetime of horse care. Understanding these costs can help vets prepare owners to be ready to pay for that care.
The Equine Lifetime of Care Study, a Synchrony survey of horse owners done in conjunction with the Equine Network (parent company of EquiManagement), found that of more than 1,200 respondents, 85% felt some sort of anxiety regarding horse expenditures. You can learn more about the survey by reading the article on page 4.
Also included in the issue are articles on handling payment in the field, preparing horse owners for unexpected expenses, setting boundaries, saying “no” to discounts or deferred payments, strategies for getting paid at the time of service, and more.
The issue is available to read here.
