How to Save Money at Atlantic Animal Hospital
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
Had a great experience with the Vet this morning. He really listened to me and took time to explain everything. On top of all of that he charges reasonable prices which is rare in Delray. Not sure why there are all these negative reviews but would highly recommend.

I just went yesterday to this vet. First off he was extremely responsive to my message and fast to get an appointment , plus exceptional follow up. Not sure why these negative reviews. I plan on going back with my customers dog tomorrow and seek future treatment with him for our rescue. I recommend this place, might be a bit old school but knows what hes talking about

I absolutely love the Dr. He has seen my dog from the age of 4weeks old until she died at 14 years old. The puppy Venus is my new doggie. Added picture of Serena who he saw from 4 weeks to 14 years old

Brought my two dogs in to Dr. Malernee for dental services. He did a thorough inspection on both of them on a Saturday to help accommodate my coming from out of town. He was friendly and courteous and charged a fair price for services. All of his prices are listed on his website and are very good. He also talked to me directly about the best approaches to my pups’ health. If I lived in the area he would definitely be my regular vet.

Dr. Malernee is by far the most affordable vet I’ve ever been to. He’s honest and upfront, and treated my dog kindly. Reading the other reviews about the facility/payment etc. It’s all pretty standard. It’s a veterinarian facility not a spa. And as for payment I literally just spent 4k on an emergency visit for my dog at the VCA in west palm beach, and they sure as hell asked for that upfront. You’re paying for a service. To receive the service you’re supposed to pay for it. All his fees are literally on his website, and if someone can’t afford $30 for a vet visit they simply shouldn’t own a pet, because that’s selfish at that point. Most vet visits at other offices average $100-$200 easy depending on the service provided, and have a upfront right out the gate $50 consultation fee. You can’t be cheap owning a pet, because they are like kids. A huge financial responsibility.
