I'm the same way and I just had to sign up for a credit card specifically for vet bills because my dog needs emergency surgery. The vet told me the specific card isn't super predatory or whatever, but I didn't really have any time to think things over. I just want my dog better, and I know that I can't afford it on my own rn.

Care Credit? If you have good credit when you sign up for it, its legit.

Our Shiba Inu racked up a $20K surgery last spring, and $10K of it had to go on a Care Credit card. They gave us like 8 months 0% interest.

You can use it for any medical bills, but thats now specifically our "Oh fuck a dog emergency!" Card.
