How to Save Money at Atlantic Animal Hospital & Wellness Center
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.

Absolutely Egregious/Terrible!!! The "Dr's" shouldn't even have their Licenses. It should be illegal to deny preventative care to an animal. Yet, we do here, then take a vacation and book 2 months out. 10+ years here, and lost two clients due to their severe lack of competence; yet it's "your fault". Vet Tech's are unprofessional, rude, would have a better conversation speaking to a wall. Especially, Jack who thought it would be a good idea to vaccinate like a clown. When the dog flinched to avoid, I almost got the needle in my shoulder. Throw in their holistic approach. . . Mine as well go to your bank, withdraw half a grand and light it on fire. You'd essentially be doing your beloved pet the same taking them here. Do yourself a favor, and take your pet elsewhere, anywhere, RUN!

My favorite vet of all time. Brian Lynch is the best vet. He takes his time with your pet and explains everything to you. All staff are friendly.

They take the absolute best care of my fur babies. I don't know what I'd do without them.

This Animal Hospital is exactly what I was looking for! Everyone from setup to meeting the Doctor and then nail trimming were wonderful and caring. They are a distance from our home but beyond worth it. Their cohesiveness and genuine care for our sweet puppy and all the other animals I have seen them interact make us feel happy.

We had to say goodnight to our Indie on Monday. I took her to Atlantic Animal Hospital, the place she always went to feel better. We brought her to Ocean State emergency a week prior, and they were impressed with the records that Dr.Hoffher sent over. She takes extensive notes about every visit and I felt secure knowing everyone was upto date on Indie's history. Jack and Dr.Hoffher were always there to help when Indie needed her bi-monthly shots for her URI's. When we said goodnight on Monday it was in a quiet room with lots of privacy, they walked us through gracefully and gave us prints of her little nose and paws. I miss her so much. I'm happy to have AAH as a constant. Thr black hospital kitty came right in when Indie left and was rubbing against us, giving so many kisses, and sat on my lap purring. I think Indie made it over the rainbow Bridge okay 🥲
