How to Save Money at South Rowan 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.

I'm so happy that I gave this place a chance. I just recently loss my fur baby Gage. They cared for him for the last 2 years of his life. I never once felt uncomfortable with any treatment or surgery that was needed for him. The staff is amazing and very loving. Thank you for helping me with the cremation and grieving process of my baby. Thank you for loving him and caring for him during the times I couldn't be with him. Forever greatful!

I hate that this review has to be sad, but the folks at the South Rowan Animal Hospital deserve recognition. I had to put our family dog Louise to sleep due to a life of health complications finally catching up to her. She had fought for a long time and she was just suffering, so it was time. The folks at South Rowan Animal Hospital were saints. They helped me get her into the building with the least amount of stress for her, let me sit with her for quite a bit, even brought chocolate kisses to give her because 'no one should go without knowing what chocolate tastes like'. They let me get her calm, gave her a sedative so she would relax, and let me hold her as she passed. The staff were the most respectful, supportive people I have ever met. Even in the face of the worst case scenarios, they handled it professionally and with the compassion of angels. I can't brag on them enough.

We have taken our dogs to South Rowan Animal Hospital for years and never had a bad experience. Unfortunately, we had to take one of our sweet pups for an urgent appointment yesterday resulting in having to help our baby over the rainbow bridge. The staff and Veterinarian were wonderful in every way. Kindness and caring in those moments make all of the difference.

Definitely recommend this animal hospital for all your pet needs. Walked in without an appointment, and we were seen super fast. Took care of my fur baby quickly and with tons of love, which was great because this one is special. Has some interesting quirks, and they didn't bat an eye. Usually take pets to a different vet, but on a day I didn't have an appointment they said I could leave it and then charged me a boarding fee without notice until I came to do pickup a d pay the bill. I will definitely be going back to SRAH for all our needs.

I wanted to say thank you to the staff at South Rowan for their kindness, compassion and accommodation during one of the most difficult times in my life. They completely understand how hard it is to say goodbye to your furry family member. Thank you again to everyone there for being so wonderful.
