How to Save Money at The Pet Resort | Boarding Kennels in Rock Springs

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.

Long story short. I dropped my dog off for boarding. While out of town, I called to check in on him as they hadn't called me in days. I was asked if he was in an accident. He most definitely wasn't. They tried telling me that my 1 year old labs hip was out and that I needed to pay them $800 right then to perform an emergency surgery. I sent my mom to check on him. He was fine. They threatened her that they would sue if we posted anything.

Wouldn't recommend. Didn't seem to worried about a dog attacking mine. Had to take her to our vet for antibiotics. That is what you get for trusting people, (vet family) for taking care of your baby when your away. They never even offered to have the vet there look at her and offer meds. Had to at least give 1 star to write this. I give them 0 stars and not going back.

I am so impressed with this dog kennel, and the people who run it. The owners went out of their way to take care of my dog. They were great to communicate with me and they were very attentive. I love that my dog isn't imprisoned in a kennel the entire time he's there. They were great to ask my permission before letting my dog out to play and socialize with the other dogs. They were loving and kind to my dog. I can tell because of the way my dog acts whenever we go there. He knows them and gets excited when we arrive. I also feel so much better leaving him at this boarding facility because it is ran by a veterinarian and they have a vet clinic on the grounds separate from the dog kennel. The kennels were clean and the room that they can run around in is big and safe. I would highly recommend Sweetwater pet resort.

The people and services here are top notch. Rex and Ben do an amazing job, they have become more then just our vet they have become good friends. When I had to put my weimaraner down last year Ben took great care of us. He went above and beyond for us. He made a really nice paw print of her for me and had a really nice cedar box made for her ashes.

This is a great place to board your pets! You can tell they really care about your animals. I really appreciated the fact that they had veterinary knowledge, and they even gave our dog a bath on the last day. She kept us updated on how our dog was doing throughout the stay, and was just so kind. I highly recommend this place!
