How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Atlantic Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

I am so beyond grateful for Atlantic Veterinary Hospital. We have seen 3 of the veterinarians here and have loved each one of them. The vet techs are also so knowledgeable and friendly. My shy, previously abused boy, Slayer, can be very nervous around new people and everyone has taken their time approaching him and making him feel comfortable, which makes me so happy and appreciative beyond words. I have had to come into AVH for emergent visits a few times and every time I have called, AVH has somehow found a way to get me in and make sure the situation was handled. I am so thankful this clinic exists and that they treat my boys so well. Would give it 10 stars if I could! Thank you from Slayer & Dante, too! 🐾

Atlantic Veterinary Hospital is the most caring, considerate, knowledgeable veterinary hospital I have ever been to. I have had dogs most of my life and and different Vet's but AVH stands out above them all. There is no other place I would want to take my Boston Terrier, Winston. Dr. Cronin is AMAZING and goes above and beyond with listening to my questions, taking the time to give me different suggestions and ideas in helping Winston live a healthy, long life. She truly loves what she does and it shows. We have seen over Dr.'s for short notice visits and have never been disappointed with any of them.

Extraordinary, consistent, compassionate, empathetic and an overall superb organization. I speak with over 25 years of experience with 3 cats and 4 dogs given the finest care possible. The professionalism of Annie and Dr Jeff Rockwell is carried out by each and every employee. The phone calls, receptionist, staff veterinarians, technicians and other support members of the AVH are absolutely the very best. The Rockwell’s are the definition of success by providing unconditional care, thoughtful attention and loyalty to clients and the community.

Dr. Rockwell is very thorough, and his practice is always cordial as well as kind. Ollie said he feels fortunate to have been with AVH and Dr.Rockwell forever.
