No. The approval check uses a soft inquiry only—identical to the inquiry used when you check your own credit report. Soft inquiries do not appear on credit reports viewed by lenders and have zero impact on your credit score. You can review all available payment plans with complete safety.
Select payment plans carry 0% APR for shorter terms (typically 3-6 months), meaning you repay exactly the amount financed with zero interest charges. Qualification depends on credit profile and the plan term you select. If you qualify for 0% financing, it will appear in your plan options—clearly labeled with the rate, term, and total cost.
Scratchpay payment plans cover all veterinary services at participating clinics: emergency care, diagnostics, surgery, dental work, specialist consultations, oncology treatment, orthopedic procedures, preventive care, and prescription medications. If your vet accepts Scratchpay, any service they provide can be financed.
Approval decisions return in 60 seconds. Once you select your preferred plan, confirmation happens instantly through the clinic's integrated system—no paperwork, no faxing, no delays. Your veterinarian can begin treatment immediately after your plan is confirmed.
Scratchpay approves a wide range of credit profiles, including applicants with limited or imperfect credit history. The approval algorithm considers your current financial capacity—not just past credit events. Credit score is one factor among several. Income, employment stability, and overall financial picture all influence your available plans.
Payment plan APRs range from 5.99% to 35.99%, depending on credit profile and term length. Your specific rate is fixed—meaning it never changes—and disclosed in full before you confirm. Every plan shows the APR, monthly payment, and total cost upfront. No surprises, no rate adjustments, no variable pricing.
No application fees. No origination fees. No hidden charges. The total cost you will repay—including any applicable fees—is disclosed completely before you confirm your plan selection. What you see is what you pay.
Yes. Zero prepayment penalties. Pay ahead or pay in full anytime without fees or restrictions. Early repayment reduces total interest charges because interest accrues only on the outstanding principal balance.
Scratchpay partners with over 28,000 veterinary clinics nationwide. If your clinic is not yet enrolled, they can apply for free at the Scratchpay website—approval typically takes 1-2 business days. You can also use the clinic locator to find Scratchpay-accepting practices near you.
Credit cards carry revolving balances with variable APRs (averaging 22-27% nationally) and minimum payments that extend repayment for years. Scratchpay offers fixed-term payment plans with predictable monthly payments, disclosed total costs, and 0% APR options. You know the exact amount and timeline before you commit—and the terms never change.

No Guarantee of Approval: Submitting an inquiry or application does not guarantee loan approval or a specific loan offer. All applications are subject to credit review, identity verification, income verification, and lender underwriting criteria. Approval and final loan terms are at the sole discretion of the participating lender.

Credit Inquiry: Checking your rate uses a soft credit pull and will not affect your credit score. Proceeding with a full loan application may result in a hard credit inquiry, which may temporarily affect your credit score.

Platform Disclosure: ScratchPay is a veterinary payment plan platform. ScratchPay facilitates payment plan options for veterinary care in partnership with licensed financial institutions. ScratchPay does not guarantee approval or specific plan terms, and plan availability may vary by state. ScratchPay may receive compensation in connection with plan originations, which does not influence the plan terms offered to you. Please review all plan terms, rates, and fees carefully before confirming any payment plan.

Risk Warning: Borrowing money involves financial risk. Failure to repay a loan on time may result in additional fees, negative credit reporting, and collections activity. Only borrow what you can comfortably repay. If you are experiencing financial difficulty, consider contacting a nonprofit credit counseling agency such as the NFCC (nfcc.org) for free guidance.
