How to Save Money at Rockhill Pet Clinic
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.

Took me a few vets to find the perfect one for my fur baby and this is the one! He’s had so many issues as I said took a few vets to find one that would ACTUALLY help instead of giving general advice. Rockhill has helped my boy with all issues other vets couldn’t and giving me the info I need in return as well as healing my boy quickly! I love them and will continue to go here and bring all future pets here!

This clinic loves my kitties. They are just the best. I boarded my girls for 10 days at Rockhill and my kitties were so content. Plus they look out for physical changes. They want the best life for them. I’m 110% happy with every detail. I drive quite a ways, but it is worth it because of the love and expertise my kitties receive. Great staff, outstanding doctors. I can’t say enough.

Rockhill Pet Clinic is the best! We love everyone that works there. Our dog, Finn, also loves everyone who works there. They are all so helpful, communicative, kind and obviously love pets. They send out regular care reminders for your pet, provide several appointment reminders/confirmations, and check in with you 24 hours after your pet's appointments. The first time we took Finn in was for a little check-in about a week after we brought him home and we were nervous because we had just taken him from the only home he knew and then he was going to be in this strange new place! The staff were so great and sent us pictures of him having a good time eating some cheese lol (picture included). We love them so much that we have basically used them as a one-stop-shop for vet care, grooming, and boarding. We trust them and know our pup loves them (even if he doesn't always love being left behind). They have really great grooming prices! (second picture is him after one grooming session there). We are pretty bummed we don't live as close anymore because it makes it more challenging to get there, but we have still continued to us them as our vet for Finn. Thank you for everything you do, Rockhill team!

Rockhill is our dedicated vet. We have tried many in the area and this team is the best. Everyone very clearly cares. They work with us on getting scheduled (we have a house of 5 pets). We have an elderly cat and this vet is so good with her and our needs to give her a good last few years of her life. We won't be going anywhere else for our pets.

This place is absolutely wonderful with my cats. One of my cats was known as SUPER hard to handle with his last vet and they get along with him great at Rockhill. They are personable and care about your pets, Dr. Olivia calls and follows up with my babies any time I have a concern. All of my babies come here now.
