AEC accepts cash, checks and card payments from American Express, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, All Pet and Care Credit.
AEC requires a 50% deposit when service estimates exceed $500. Payment in full is required for all services before discharge.
If you are interested in a payment plan, AEC has multiple payment plan partners to choose from. Each provider has various plan options to explore and some do offer zero interest plans with only a “soft” credit check (which does not impact your credit rating). Unfortunately, AEC is no longer able to offer any form of direct payment plan.
