How to Save Money at Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill
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.

I became a client of AHRH about 8 years ago when I had to use their emergency hospital in the middle of the night for my cat, Max, who had kidney stones. My husband was away on business and I had to go through the ordeal alone. Our animals are our children and I was very afraid that I would lose Max that night. Dr. Havier and his staff were so wonderful and literally saved Max's life. He would have died if not for their awesome care. I was so impressed that I immediately changed all my animals over to their facility from my vet at the time even though it was much further away from my home. I have never looked back. They also gave the utmost outstanding care to my beloved German Shepherd, Zara, in the last couple years of her life and with their outstanding care gave her those extra years with us. Everyone in that office from the receptionists to the technicians to the veterinarians themselves are compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable and professional people. They all take the time to get to know your pet and make them feel comfortable in an environment that of course makes them anxious. They even offer the service of coming to your home when it is time to say goodbye to your beloved pet which makes it so much better for you as well as your pet being in their own surroundings. We took advantage of this service and it was the best thing we ever did. I can't say enough about this practice and could go on and on. However, I will leave it at that you and your pet will get the best care for routine visits as well as any emergency care you may need at Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill!

Animal Hospital Of Rocky Hill is great. Dixie is a pretty health dog but has had occasional problems with allergies and ear infections. They always treat her very well whether it’s the father (kind of a history buff, talked to him about WW1 and WW2) son or daughter that’s treating her. It’s also nice when everyone at the vet remembers who your dog is. I live all the way in East Haddam now but will continue to travel to Rocky Hill whenever Dixie needs care.

thank you for professional and high quality service. ... dedicated, always available, average priced, courteous and accurate in diagnosis! ..... Haviar did all those pit-bulls New Year’s day that needed care. Was in the news. Who else would commit to this holiday in that weather? We are proud to call Haviar and his family / co workers our family lifetime vet.

Not a fan of this place. Place is a dump and the technicians don’t know anything about dogs. They’re very abusive to animals and they cost to much. I would never go to them again. Do not bother waisting your time.

Never even got to see the vet. First time there with my two dogs they kept me waiting so I just walked out. I’ll spend a thousand dollars with another vet who knows how to keep an appointment
