How to Save Money at Rocky Mountain Equine
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.

These guys are awesome. Drove 175 miles on Easter weekend for an equine emergency. Dr Haderly took great care of my mare and her new foal. Thanks for staying late after hours to help me out.

Amazing team! We felt like we were circling the drain with a random infection on my daughters eventing horse. The vets took great care of her and were completely thorough in tracking down the cause. I cannot thank them enough!

I’m new to Utah so I don’t have any veterinarian contacts for my large animals. My horse was lame and couldn’t be trailered so I needed someone for a farm call. This place was very kind on my initial call and told me they were too far away to come out. I called about 10 other places but kept striking out. The receptionist called me back 15 minutes later asking if I had any luck and gave me a contact to try and it worked! I was able to get my horse seen and cared for. I’m incredibly thankful for the kindness, concern and help I was given from the receptionist. They didn’t owe me the extra time or work to find a contact, but they did it anyway. I will do all I can to recommend this place for others. Thank you!

On time, fast paced, and very respectful! Dr. Haderlie was fast and did a great job. The vet tech was nice and helpful as well. I appreciate them telling me what they were doing and why. They both explained things that I didn’t know as a first time horse owner.

I’ve been a client for at least 30 yrs. I had an emergency today with my horse and was told the Dr on was too busy unless I could get my horse to the clinic. My horse couldn’t even stand up to travel in a trailer. I even put in an after hour emergency call and was finally contacted an hour later to be told “I hope you found someone else by now to help you because I can’t.” Rocky Mountain has lost me as a long time client today.
