About five years ago, Ken met and adopted his adorable and energetic dog, Haley, in Chicago. It was love at first sight, and the pair have been inseparable ever since. So it's no surprise that Ken is determined to provide his best friend with the best care possible—and that includes dental cleanings, X-rays, and lab work.

But, as Ken has discovered, pet care can be expensive. That's where the CareCredit credit card comes in. Ken applied for the healthcare credit card at the vet's office and was approved on the spot, allowing him to pay for Haley's expenses with CareCredit's promotional financing options.

Ken says the CareCredit credit card is “exceptional," helping him pay for the care Haley needs to stay healthy and happy. He even shared his positive experiences with his mom, who then applied and was approved for her own CareCredit credit card.

Since Ken is dedicated to his fur baby's longevity, he plans to continue using the CareCredit credit card for Haley's upcoming dental cleanings, vaccinations, and other needs that arise. He simply wants Haley to be the happiest and healthiest companion she can be.

Today, Haley is enjoying life with Ken in Los Angeles, chasing dreams of bones and squeaker toys. And Ken is grateful to CareCredit for helping him give his best friend the best life possible.
