How to Save Money at Veterinary Specialty Hospital Roseville

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.

Great staff! Excellent care for fixing our dog's 3rd eyelid (did you know dogs have 3rd eyelids?!?). This was our 1st time visiting this place, and it will be our last. This literally was the location's last day of business. They moved across town to a bigger location. This is a 24hr pet emergency facility, so they must feel justified to charge more. I get it, us pet owners will shell them out to care for our furry friends. It would be a 5 🌟 but I'm still trying to get over the sticker shock.

And overall good experience, but be careful of extra charges. One thing the staff did great at this pet emergency center was take my dog in and he was seen right away! It may have been due to his breathing symptoms, but there was no waiting to have him seen and I was room to very quickly. Overall I felt the care was great, but I insisted on not Getting extra treatment and medicine that I felt was unnecessary and we already had at home. I was also pressured and forced to sign a waiver that I declined having my dog hospitalized in an oxygen chamber for two days that was going to cost an extra $4000. I also had to stop them from giving him fluids under his skin when he was drinking water, fine, and charging me a ton for some stomach acid medicine that we had at home. He has been recovering fine since. I think they had perfectly reasonable medical reasons to keep him in an oxygen chamber for two days, but I really didn’t feel like they had discussed it with me having an unbiased opinion. I felt like I was heavily pressured by the assistant, who did not seem very knowledgeable about the whole situation.

Atlantic Street Pet Emergency Center Vets and staff did a fantastic job of caring for my 11lb. dog Rocky, who ingested the contents of a "Bed Buddy" sending his system into distress. Rocky and I were both treated with kindness and compassion during his 2 day stay. My questions and concerns were welcomed at all hours by this amazing staff. I even received an update on his health during the wee hours of the morning, letting me know his status during the night. I am happy to report that Rocky is now recovering at home. I am so very thankful to have my little guy safely on my lap once again.

I give it one star because it is a nice building otherwise I give them a zero. I went in because I thought my cat was choking. They suggested a X-ray so we did. It wasn’t necessary because I took her back the next day and I told them open her mouth and then they say she needs surgery. I had to wait 3 times the normal because she’s not dying yet. They do not care about animals. They are lazy. Please go elsewhere if you have an emergency. They will let your pet die. They charged me $900 for an X-ray then told me they didn’t know what was wrong with her.

It's been a little over a year since we had to put our sweet Banjo down at Atlantic Street Vet on 12/30/2022. I wrote a review of our experience to Atlantic Street directly, but never got a confirmation they received it nor an acknowledgement of how horrible the experience was. As it is, putting a family pet down is never ever an easy decision I know. But my husband and I did not get the compassion that one would expect from a place like this. And maybe because they deal with it so much on a day to day basis they become immune to it. I wish we would have known and would have kept our sweet Banjo at home instead to pass peacefully and with dignity. There was none of that at Atlantic Street. Please reconsider taking your beautiful pet here. It's not worth the money and memory.
