How to Save Money at Roselle 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.

Dr Zink has been the most caring vet we have ever had. We have been going here for over 10 years. We also volunteered with shelters who also used surrounding area vet offices. I feel this one is one of the best.

Went in today to have my elderly dog put to rest. After discussing with Dr zink, my husband and I decided to treat Joe and hopefully keep him around longer. Reasonably priced, patient, and considerate are what we found this office to be. THANK YOU!!

I don’t quite understand all the good reviews. Something feels so off about this vet office. The most recent time I brought my dog in for a booster; they didn’t even give me the option to be there with her for the vaccine. They took her to the back and brought her back out in less than 5 mins. Keep in mind she’s a baby and I would’ve like the option to be there alongside her for comfort. Also the first time i brought her here i mentioned to the vet she scratches at one specific ear a looot, he dismissed my concern by saying “dogs scratch” lol OKAY?! I wanted to make sure she didn’t have an infection. he also added that he had “examined her in the back already” okay well I want you to examine her in front of me because how am I supposed to know you actually did if you “do it in the back”. Very dismissive about things, I don’t appreciate this level of service at all. He took forever to come into the room and it was evident he wanted to be outta there asap. I wish they’d show some form of care or compassion for the sake of the animals they’re supposed to be caring for.. it’s so hard to find a good vet, but I don’t think this one is it.

Roselle animal hospital was such a great place to bring my dog for check ups and vaccinations. They were always professional and prompt.

Do not bring your beloved pet here to be put to sleep when it's time. I accompanied my elderly mother here to have her dog put down. As any pet owner knows, it's horrible and heartbreaking to go through. The least you can hope is to have a compassionate doctor and staff to help your fur baby to cross over the Rainbow Bridge and to help support you. The techs took my mom's dog into the back to insert an IV catheter into his leg. As the dog was already highly distressed, he obviously was not happy with this procedure. We could hear him "screaming"...my husband could even hear him out in the waiting room! Of course, my mom panicked and was wondering what was going on. I called for a tech to come in the room. The tech told us that he was fine and was even wagging his tail. We knew this was a lie and that he was in distress. (He couldn't wag his tail in the first place because he was so sick plus the tech's body language was a giveaway, especially since she couldn't even look us in the eyes when she talked to us.) Why in the world they didn't give him a sedative first and/or let my mom be with him the entire time is beyond us. When they brought the dog back in the room, he was super agitated and couldn't be calmed down. The tech had to hold him from behind and my mother was touching his head and face and talking to him, to no avail. The vet walked in the room and all he had to say is, "He's not any better, huh?" (My mom had had the dog in the day before.) The vet went to put the sedative injection into the catheter without even explaining what he was doing. I was the one who had to ask, "That's a sedative you're giving him first, right?" He said yes and then immediately said, "Are you ready?" What?! He didn't even give my mom any time to hold and pet and talk to her dog while he was under the sedative, nor did he explain anything as to what he was doing or what was going on. He injected the final medication and the dog was dead in seconds. He took his stethoscope and listened to the dog's heart and said, "He's gone." Then walked out of the room. No, "I'm sorry", nothing. We did get to then spend time alone with the dog before we left. I hate to give a business a bad review when they have a lot of other good reviews. I'm assuming this is a good vet practice in general, but if you're looking to have your fur baby put down, I highly suggest you go elsewhere. As a pet owner who's had to have three cats put down in 6 years, I chose to have a mobile vet who specializes in at home euthanasia come to my house. It was the total opposite experience of what my mother went through at this place. At home euthanasia is so much more peaceful and compassionate. I am hoping this review will spare anyone else the trauma of what my mother went through.
