Payment is requested at the time of service. Accepted payment methods listed are cash, personal checks, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, CareCredit and Scratchpay.
Two payment plans are described. CareCredit is described as sponsored by GE Money and giving the opportunity to pay a bill over 6 to 12 months interest-free, with online application through the CareCredit link on the site or in the office with an answer in a few minutes. Scratchpay is described as not a credit card, with checking plan options not affecting a credit score, and with no hidden fees, no prepayment penalty and no deferred interest; the site points to www.scratchpay.com.
On spreading costs, the FAQ says some preventive care can be spread over several visits and that you will only be charged one wellness exam a year, and that monthly heartworm and flea preventive can be ordered from the online store one dose at a time delivered monthly without shipping charges. For spay and neuter, the FAQ says the cost includes general anesthesia, IV catheter and fluids, the surgery, recovery and hospitalization for one night, but gives no figure. No insurance carriers are named and no discount or wellness plan is advertised.
How Archdale Animal Hospital works with clients
To schedule an appointment, the site says to call ahead at 704-552-2333. The home page adds that in most cases an appointment can be scheduled same day, or within 1-2 days if there is no availability same day. Major surgeries and dental procedures are also scheduled by calling 704-552-2333, and for surgeries, dental procedures and grooming the practice asks that the patient check in by 10am.
The site is inconsistent about whether booking is required, and a caller should be told so. The services page calls the clinic 'an appointment-only facility'. The contact page calls it a 'walk-in animal clinic'. The home page calls it 'a general day practice with no appointments required'. The FAQ explains the history: after years of being a walk-in only clinic, the practice began taking appointments under social distancing guidelines to control how many clients are present at once. Both the home page and the FAQ add that if you do not make an appointment, 'we will do our best to work you in after the appointments are caught up'. Calling first is the safe course.

The arrival process described is curbside: park in a numbered parking space, call 704-552-2333 to say you have arrived and which space you are in, a tech checks you in over the phone, and a doctor comes out to the car once check-in is complete.
Other booking notes from the FAQ: established clients can arrange drop-off well visits, usually dropping the pet off in the morning, with a call when the pet is ready; boarding and grooming have limited availability for current clients only and must be arranged by calling ahead; and all pets must arrive on a leash or in a carrier.

The hospital FAQ page answers 'What do I do in the case of an emergency and your clinic isn't open?' with three referrals: CARE | Charlotte Animal Referral and Emergency, 3726 Latrobe Drive, Charlotte, NC 28211, (704) 457-2300; Carolina Veterinary Specialist-Animal Emergency (Charlotte location), 2225 Township Rd., Charlotte, NC 28273, 704-588-7015; and Long Animal Hospital, 2523 South Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28203, (704) 523-2996. Note that the two pages publish different phone numbers for Carolina Veterinary Specialist, (704) 504-9608 on the contact page and 704-588-7015 in the FAQ, so a caller should be given both and told they differ on the site.
For a suspected poisoning the FAQ says to call the clinic right away during business hours; outside them it names Carolina Veterinary Specialists 704-588-7015 and, if the pet shows no adverse symptoms, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435, noting a consultation fee may be charged.
