How to Save Money at Atlasvet

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Atlas is fantastic. The staff treats my dog, Hank, like he's the only patient there, showering him with affection and treats. He loves going to the vet and hates to leave--he actually tries to pull me back in after we exit. All services are fully explained, the pricing for surgical procedures is clear and reasonable (Hank had to have a tooth extracted recently), and the follow up is great.

I love Atlasvet! They take such great care of my cats. They are honest, caring, and helpful. Everyone was so nice! Bonus points that one of the founders is from Buffalo, too. I'm glad I chose to take my cats here. :)

Atlasvet is a wonderful place to bring your pet for their routine care. All of my interactions with each staff member are very positive, and they are always friendly and caring. They make a point of making sure your questions are answered and are patient and compassionate with both human and (in my case) feline clients!

We are so luck to have found Atlas Vet. They've been helping us keep Grizz healthy since his first 10 week check-up. I was nervous where to take our puppy at first and read every review in a 10-mile radius. Now, I can relax because they really are the best. Everyone at Reception, to the Techs, and all the Vets are very knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and have provided excellent care. The whole team is really positive and they give THE BEST information and advice. They do a really great job getting us in last-minute when we need it or getting us our medication same day. All around fabulous place! I really can't recommend the team enough.

Atlas vet has been wonderful for taking care of our 2 cats. We've never had an issue getting an appointment when we need one. The front desk staff are friendly and competent. All the vets and tech's we've seen have have been knowledgeable and caring with our cats. I highly recommend them.
