How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Rolling Hills Veterinary Services
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.
Compare prescription pricing
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.
Consider pet insurance

I don't normally review businesses. I usually let it go but this one I cannot. Our vet of more than 20+ years retired in January of 2024 without notice due to unexpected health issues. He and his office staff were caring individuals that loved animals. However, this untimely retirement left us in a rush to find another vet that could help us with our multiple furry friends. We were looking for a vet that would be like our last but I did not know where to start. I ended up choosing Rolling Hills in Anniston/Heflin as they were close to me. Even though I asked around town and most folks suggested that I try somewhere else first, I chose to stay local anyway. That was a mistake. The front office staff has never been friendly and they never could remember who I was when I came in every month for my dog's monthly pills. We scheduled a surgery for one of my older dogs. I got there on the morning of the surgery and they did not have me down. It was only after I produced the appointment card that they said that they would work me in. We had one of my girl dogs spayed last summer. After they performed the surgery they hit me with an additional charge for her being "obese". No discussion. No phone call. Just, "Hey, this is a lot more than we quoted you. Here is the bill." I overlooked this all. I was just trying to learn a new vet and they were trying to learn me. This all changed at Christmas time and really changed for the last time today. On Christmas morning I had a dog die. She was old and we knew it was coming. I called RHVS on December 26th to find out how to get her remains taken care of. They were still off for the holiday with no emergency contact or anyway to leave a message. It was left to me to call all over Alabama until I found a place in Birmingham that would help me. Today, I called and asked to speak to the vet about an up-coming appointment that I had for my dog, Hoover. I had already called yesterday asking to speak to him but was put off and never had a return call. Once he finally got on the phone today, he was real short with me. I tried to explain to him that Hoover had anxiety issues and would be real nervous coming in tomorrow. I asked if there was a pill we could give him to calm him before coming in. The vet started "attacking" me for lack of a better word saying that he will not treat an aggressive dog. I reiterated to him that he is not aggressive but just nervous. He has real anxiety issues but he stood his ground. Finally, with none of my attempts to change his mind were working, I asked him how long has he been practicing to which he replied 35 years. I asked him if he had ever seen a nervous dog with anxiety issues and he just repeated that he is not treating an aggressive dog. I told him I hated to hear that and I would be by to collect the files on my dogs and cats. If he refused to treat one, he cannot treat any. Other things that need to be mentioned is that they do not offer emergency appointments and they do not have an after hours contact. The vet I came from had all of these and more. Unfortunate that more like him are not around. This has put me in a spot as Hoover has a real problem that needs to be addressed. I am now on the search for another vet.

I am giving this 1 star review based on correspondence with the office this morning ... RUDE OFFICE PRACTICE. I have now made 3 phone calls to the office to establish care for a new patient. I have not been told of the no new patients at this time, until this phone call. Told the young lady that maybe they need to make sure ALL staff knows this, as I was going to be set up for an appointment for next week when i spoke to them yesterday, was also told to call back today to see if any appointments were open via cancelation since I had to look at my work calendar to see what worked for me. After speaking to the young lady today and telling her maybe they need to inform all staff of the no new patients at this time, she hung up on me. RUDE.
