Sorry, services other than Horse Dentistry are not provided.

Have a minimum number of 5 horses in one location to avoid additional charges of $85.00 & UP when Dr. Allen is in your area.

Please make sure your bill is paid upon the date of service.

We don’t extend credit nor do we do any billing but we do provide a Horse Dentistry Service to the horse-owning public.

We offer the convenience of HOLDING CHECKS instead of taking credit cards, this saves us both money. If we were to accept credit cards or extend to our clients the option of billing, our fees would need to be increased to compensate for providing those additional services.

HOLDING CHECKS

We will accept a check for 1/2 your invoice total, cashable upon the day of service. We will HOLD the check the other half of your total for up to 30 days.

Both checks need to be presented when service is rendered.

RETURNED CHECKS

Service Charge: $35.00

INVOICING

Your dental chart is your bill. We do not issue additional invoices. Keeping track of your balance would be billing and we do not provide that service.

METHOD OF PAYMENT

Personal Checks, cash, Money orders, credit card checks.

15% ADDITIONAL CHARGE

If your check is not present on the day our dentistry service is

rendered, we will automatically apply a 15% additional charge to your dentistry total.

* First Time Horses are those that have not been seen by Dr.Allen previously.

Out of Our Service Area

ADDITIONAL TRIP FEES & ALTERNATIVE MINIMUMS MAY APPLY TO BARNS OUT OF OUR SERVICE AREA DEPENDING UPON THE NUMBERS OF HORSES.
