How to Save Money at Rosa Rodrigo DVM
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.

Dr. Rodrigo was amazing with our dog Homer. He performed TPLO surgery. He went above and beyond in my opinion. Really took the time to explain the procedure and results and what to expect during the surgery, as well as the recovery process. Our dog is super nervous and hates having to go to the vet. He is not very cooperative but Dr. Rodrigo took the time to get to know Homer & treated his fear as just that fear and not because he is an aggressive dog (which he is not). Dr. Rodrigo would text and check in after the surgery and was always available via text message with any questions or concerns we had. We have never had that experience before. I would highly recommend Dr. Rodrigo. I cannot say enough good things about him.

We saw Dr. Rosa when my dog of 10 years needed his spleen removed because he has a large mass. Dr. Rosa was amazing. He sat me down and went over everything I needed to know and what to expect. When my dog had problems, like scratching off some staples, Dr. Rosa responded right away and told us what to do. He made himself available for an office visit the same day to take a look at my good boy. He gave me a phone number to text him anytime with questions, concerns, and I could even show him pictures of things I was worried about. He always responded and it gave me so much peace of mind. He even responded to me on a Saturday too, it was so nice. Unfortunately my dog was diagnosed with cancer. Dr. Rosa went through all of our options. He was kind enough to go through everything with me two different times because I was too sad to retain the information the first time. He is so kind and caring. He is also very professional and knowledgeable. He went over recent studies about what the best treatment options were for my dog. Even though we are extremely sad with my dogs diagnosis we are happy that everything was done in the best interest good boy and that we are in good hands with Dr. Rosa. If my other dog ever needed surgery I wouldn't hesitate for one minute to go with Dr. Rosa again.

I have gone to Dr Rosa DVM for my Labrador Fred for 10 years since he was a pup! When my dog needed surgery my husband and I were more than thrilled with Dr Rosa’s treatment of our dog Fred before , during and after surgery . He was a true professional and more than being a skilled veterinarian, he truly loves animals and keeping them healthy . Many times he reached out to hear of Fred’s progress and his estimate of cost rang true ! I knew our beloved pet was in competent hands , thank goodness we have him in Bedford NH

Dr Rosa performed a laparoscopic spay on my dog and did a fantastic job. We met during COVID so were never able to connect face-to-face but he made me feel comfortable throughout the process. He was clear about what to expect and very caring in his follow up. My dog recovered very easily. Highly recommend.

Our Mastiff mix recently had a TPLO performed by Dr. Rosa and the staff at VCA DW Animal Hospital. Dr. Rosa and the entire staff have been caring, knowledgable and attentive to our pet and we are so very thankful for Daniel Webster Animal Hospital. Our pets throughout the years have been care for by DWAH for over 20+ years now and we have always been pleased with their professionalism, expertise and genuine concern for all of our dogs! Thank you Dr. Rosa and DWAH!
