Pasadena company will integrate its payment technology into 200+ animal hospitals

Scratch Financial, a Pasadena-based company that builds payment systems for vet bills, announced Thursday it will integrate its technology into more than 200 CareVet animal hospitals across 35 states.

The deal means pet owners visiting CareVet locations will have more flexible payment options, while clinic staff can process bills faster and with fewer administrative headaches. Scratch’s platform offers customized payment plans and tools that simplify financial workflows — making vet visits easier for both clinics and pet parents.

“We are thrilled to partner with Scratch to bring their advanced integrated payment processing solutions to our veterinary practices,” said Tim Kaufmann, CareVet’s director of revenue and pricing.

Katy Honda, Scratch’s senior vice president of commercial partnerships, praised CareVet’s commitment to helping veterinary teams. “We at Scratch are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their hospitals and look forward to continuing to build with them in partnership,” she said.

Scratch is headquartered at 225 S. Lake Ave., Suite 250 in Pasadena. Founded in 2018, CareVet is based in St. Louis and focuses on supporting veterinarians and staff to deliver top-tier care. The company was launched by veterinarian Kent Thornberry and entrepreneur Greg Siwak.
