How to Save Money at Red Rock Veterinary Health
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.

Dr. Unsell is the best and most reliable veterinarian we've met: very experienced, knowledgeable, and knows how to treat dogs without giving them stress! Our dog, almost 7 years old Black Labrador Retriever, is very active and injury-prone since he was a puppy, and we have been visiting several veterinarians across different states from AZ, MO, and finally to CO for not only his annual exams but also treatments (typically nail injuries). Our dog is getting a little picky about his vet as he becomes older, but he really likes Dr. Unsell and stays relaxed during the examination, which is the reason why we followed Dr. Unsell when he opened his own clinic. We love how they focus on fear free practices, and the staff we've met at his clinic, Lauren and Angela, are also professional and friendly. On top of Dr. Unsell and the Red Rock Vet staff's experience, professionalism, and great way they work with our dog, the clinic prices are not as expensive as previous clinics (our dog just had a surgery for his cracked toenail removal). We really feel Dr. Unsell cares about dogs' health and wellness, rather than practicing as a "business." We're so glad we could find Dr. Unsell and would highly recommend him and Red Rock Vet Health to anyone who has furry family members!

Dr.Unsell has been my vet for the last five years. He is absolutely amazing and truly cares! I wouldn’t trust my two boys with anyone else! I also appreciate his honest approach to care and his ability to think outside of the box. My hunting dog Rueben doesn’t like anything being done to him at all— Dr. Unsell has always been amazing with dealing with him using the fear free approach. I think most vets would have quickly labeled Reuben as aggressive and always needing sedation, but not Dr.Unsell. He helped us a lot in understanding Reuben’s behavior and what type of training he needed. Also, having a bully pit I found that some Vets were so scared of my dog and would be afraid to even touch him! Dr. Unsell was never afraid, never judged him because of his breed (Mind you he’s an angel at the Vet) and has always given Money great care! Thank you for being so amazing and going above and beyond. The office staff are very professional and kind as well. If you’re looking for a great place for your fur baby look no further!

My Caesar 🐕 just had a very major surgery that he is now recovering from and I am so grateful to Dr. Unsell and team for taking such good care of him and me with my concerns along the way. Angela, Lauren, and Courtney have been so supportive to Caesar’s recovery. I am super impressed with this practice and happy that I decided to come here when I did or it very well could’ve been too late for my dog. Dr. Unsell is very kind and knowledgable. He tells you straight and gives you solutions and reassurance. They truly care about their clients and want the best for them. I love that I am supporting this local business and wish all the best to Red Rock! ❤️

This was by far the best veterinary visit I've had in over 15 years of pet ownership and I can't say enough positive things about this practice. My dog isn't a fan of being handled by anyone but me and has high anxiety/alertness/hypervigilance that makes it very difficult for her to get even basic care like vaccines without traumatizing her, but Red Rock Veterinary Health gave me some amazing options to make it easier on both her and I. I feel like they truly understand what she is experiencing and actually care and want what's best for her which can be very difficult to find. I'm so grateful to have found them so that my girl can get the care she deserves!
