CareCredit, a leading health and wellness financial solution by Synchrony , a premier consumer financial services company, announced a strategic partnership with Vetspire, a leading cloud-based veterinary practice management software (PMS) provider. Through the integration, CareCredit's flexible financing options will be embedded directly into Vetspire's AI-enabled, cloud-based platform, giving veterinary practices a more modern way to offer real-time payment solutions at the point of care. By operationalizing checkout workflows and making financial options easier to access, the cutting-edge collaboration aims to improve the experience for pet owners, reduce administrative friction for clinic teams and support timely care for pets.

Vetspire's AI capabilities enable veterinary teams to streamline workflows and take more time with each client, caring for their pets and addressing their needs. Vetspire brings together medical records, scheduling, billing, payments, inventory and client communications in one integrated platform that is customizable for each practice's needs. AI features like scribe make it easier for providers to focus on their clients and their pets' care and cost conversations during appointments, while helping them maintain accurate records. Vetspire also helps providers communicate with clients with the ability to send messages about upcoming appointments and new products.

"This partnership reflects CareCredit's continued focus on modernizing the veterinary care and payment experience through innovation, integration and smarter technology," said Jonathan Wainberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Pet, Synchrony. "By partnering with Vetspire, we're embedding CareCredit financing directly into a best-in-class AI-enabled platform. This simplifies administrative processes, integrates all client communications and provides AI-specific capabilities and tools that ultimately streamline financing conversations and create a more seamless, user-friendly experience – keeping the focus on pets and their care."

Beyond providing direct payment integration, the collaboration offers veterinary practices access to a suite of CareCredit resources, including customized marketing templates, robust business intelligence support and shared tools to optimize patient financial conversations and treatment acceptance. While Vetspire is currently trusted by more than 1,000 veterinary hospitals and clinics nationwide — approximately 85% of which are already active CareCredit-enrolled providers — this strategic partnership deepens the existing relationship by moving financing from an external terminal directly into the core clinical system. This integration streamlines daily operations for thousands of shared practice clients, while introducing a powerful, unified financial tool to the remaining 15% of Vetspire users and future partner clinics.

"At Vetspire, our mission has always been to build technology that puts veterinary professionals first, removing operational obstacles so they can focus on what matters most — saving and improving animal lives," said Joe Mazzarella, General Manager, Vetspire. "Integrating CareCredit directly into our platform is an extension of that commitment. In an era where veterinary teams are navigating unprecedented case volumes, bringing essential financial and billing workflows into a single cloud environment allows practices to run more efficiently, reduces administrative burnout and provides pet parents with more payment paths."
