How to Save Money at Atrium 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.

Atrium is a wonderful place. They were our vet for over 8 years before we had to move away. Hoping we build a relationship with our new vet like we had with them. Both our dogs and our cat thrived under their care; prices are reasonable for a vet in the city and the care is unmatched. Boarding services are also great - it was always a great relief to know our pets were in good hands while we were out of town, especially convenient when we could combine annual services and a bath when they coincided with a vacation Thank you atrium for all your help over the years!

Dr Sarah Krieg is one of the best vets I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have had many many pets over the past 50+ years and I am so fortunate to have her caring for my 4 pups now.

Dr Sarah Krieg and the AAH staff are wonderful. We started taking our senior Golden Retriever for acupuncture as part of a pain management plan, and over the past two years have gradually transferred all of our vet needs over to Dr Krieg.

Dr Belton, Jessica and the team took great care of Brody once again! He can always be a bit of a handful, but they are so calm, caring and understanding! I can't thank you all enough!

My experience with Atrium Animal Hospital was amazing. To begin, we had an issue with our rabbit's eye. She had escaped her enclosure and had an adventure on her own in the wild for almost three weeks. When we found her and got her home, she kept her eye mostly closed (but otherwise seemed fine). It's extremely difficult to find a vet in the Charlotte area willing to look at a rabbit. We finally were referred to Atrium Animal Hospital from another vet, and when we called on a Monday found they were booked for appointments for 10 days (another was 2+ weeks). However, they advised to call first thing the next morning to see about any cancellations. We were able to grab a mid-morning appointment to get our rabbit seen. The new patient and check-in process was flawless. Dr. Morrison was great as well. He carefully explained what he was doing, and gave the impression he was interested in me understanding and learning. He invited me to look as they dyed both eyes to investigate any damage, explaining what he saw in the eye with the issue. We only needed some antibiotic drops, but Dr. Morrison explained how he administers the drops in detail. I appreciate the time and care provided for our rabbit after her injury during her adventure. I'd recommend Atrium Animal Hospital for anyone with exotic / non-standard pets.
