How to Save Money at Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital & Pet Resort

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.

Getting 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.

My fur baby fell very ill unexpectedly. I took her to my regular vet who told me she needed Emergency care. My daughter Emma always recommended Rose Rock for vet care so I didn’t hesitate to bring her here for the emergency visit. The moment I walked in, Beth greeted me and took Julie with a sense of urgency. I immediately felt like she was in good hands and that she would be made as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, Julie was extremely sick and the outcome grim, so I made the gut wrenching decision to let her go. Throughout the whole ordeal, Dr. Thurman was absolutely wonderful. She thoroughly explained her conditions, my options, and answered all my questions. She was very supportive, caring and patient. I never felt rushed, and most importantly, I felt like she genuinely cared. Justin was just as wonderful and handled her with so much care after her passing. I just can’t say enough good things. With how attentive and thorough the vet was, I genuinely feel like Julie’s condition would have been caught sooner, at annual check ups, if I had already been bringing her here. Going forward, I found a new vet for my other pets. Thank you for everything

I cant express enough how much Kelsey helped me through a very painful process with my Wormy Girl's mammory glands. I genuinely trusted everything Kelsey told me. She was everything you would want at the vet. She gave off perfect "vet energy" full of so much knowledge. Wow, was I impressed. Thank you Kelsey! Sweetie! Two weeks later and im adding on to my review. Sadly, my fur-daughter, Wormy Girl, has less then a year to live without dramatic chemo and two cancer surgeries i dont want to put her poor sweet body through it because she will likely die soon after and i love her to much to see her hurt. Today, Dr. Beverly Fritzler called me with oncologist information I was waiting on. She was so incredibly compassionate and genuinely kind. This is THE hardest thing ive ever experienced in life and I appreciate her giving me all of my options in a comforting way. Dr. Fritzler, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Follow up, Last night I had my favorite doctor, Dr. Blazek my favorite vet tech, Kelsey and a sweetie of an intern named Victoria. They helped ease giving me the devastating news Worm now has 1-2 months to live. I'm glad it was the 3 of them there with me when I got the hardest news of my life. I think Victoria is going to make a wonderful vet tech because of her empathy and compassion. She was absolutely lovely. I also want to advocate for Kelsey. The #1 reason she deserves a raise is because she BY FAR goes more above and beyond for me as a client then any of the other million visits I've had there. (Ive seen tons of vet techs there) She is pure quality. She legit cares. I'm personally asking you to please reward her excellent service with either a bonus or a raise. Lastly, Dr. Blazek you are my go to vet! Your knowledge is unparalleled and you have been treating Wormy for several years and as far as doctors go.... You know you can ALWAYS trust Dr. Blazek. If they ask you if you have a preference for a vet, ask for Dr. Blazek because she has the experience, knowledge and gentleness that is required in this business. The relationship I have built with Roserock Vet over the years has been wonderful. I highly recommend them if you care about your animals. They say when it rains it pours. Well, now I've got another sick furbaby. My big fat Garfield of a cat, Regie, who is meaner than the meanest, did his usual misbehaving at the Vet. Luckily, I was blessed to get the male Dr. Fritzler and Matthew. I swear, he was absolutely wonderful to work with! A natural talent! He made me feel so comfortable! Matthew was excellent too. He helped me laugh a lot during a very anxious time. If Kelsey wasn't my favorite he'd definitely be next in line! Luckily, when I picked Regie up at the end of the day Kelsey was there. She is so intelligent and well spoken I told her I didn't need to see a doctor at pick up because she herself is so knowledgeable that I had no need to talk with the doctor. But listen to this- Even though Dr. Fritzler had gone home for the day, later that same evening he called me from his house to check in on Regie. HOW CAN I SHOW MY APPRECIATION TO A DOCTOR THAT CARES ENOUGH TO CHECK IN ON ME FROM HOME?? I was blown away by this level of care. I have never received this level of care from any vet like this before. I cried tears of happiness knowing I'm not alone in this. Thank you Dr. Fritzler. Also, big thank you to all the vet techs in training that assisted me with this. Y'all are doing a fabulous job! And I individually appreciate every single one of you.

I’ve lived all around Oklahoma, but no matter where I am, I’ll always make a special trip to Rose Rock for my pets’ veterinary needs. They’ve been looking after my cat for the better part of a decade and are always so gentle and thorough with ensuring her best health. She’s had a total of three surgeries at Rose Rock and each time they kept me informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!
