Ancillary Services

Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital provides many ancillary services to assist you with your pet care needs.

Emergency and Extended Care

Care is always available for your pet. Please call us at once for an emergency. Emergencies during hospital hours are given priority attention over routine procedures.

Extended hospital care is provided by our veterinary nurses. This enables hospitalized patients to receive night time monitoring and treatments.

After hour emergencies are referred to Animal Emergency Center 405-360-7828.

Interstate and International Health Certificates

If you are traveling to another country or another state with your pet, you may need an international health certificate. Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital is authorized to issue international health certificates. These certificates are only valid for a certain amount of time, and different forms are required for different destinations. We may not have all required forms at our facility, so please call your airline to see what paperwork is required.

If you need a health certificate for your pet's travel, don't delay! Please call us immediately so that we can begin the process.

Exotic Pet Medicine and Surgery

One of our veterinarians is experienced in providing specialized care and treatment for exotic companion animals, including ferrets, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, iguanas, rabbits, and snakes. We understand their unique health needs and can provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical services, as well as counseling on nutrition, behavior, and general care.

Blood Typing

Transfusions have taken an increasingly important role in the life support of canine and feline patients. The need for quick and accurate blood typing is crucial in order to assure safe and efficient transfusion. Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital is fully equipped to perform blood typing on your pet.

It is essential to perform blood typing to save pets lives in case of traumatic shock, iron deficiency, some infectious diseases, hypoproteinemia and severe anemia. Any pet that is going to donate blood must also have blood type testing.

Client Counseling

Nutritional Counseling

Good nutrition is the key to a healthy life for your pet. At Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital, counseling about nutrition starts with your pet's very first visit with a veterinarian. We talk to you about the choices available for your pet's food, and we also discuss the proper frequency and amount of food your pet should receive. Rose Rock can also counsel clients whose pets are overweight or have special dietary requirements.

Nutrition is just as important for your pet as it is for you. The benefits of nutritional counseling include weight loss, increased energy levels and a healthier lifestyle. Ask us today about nutritional counseling for your pet.

Behavior Counseling

Behavior problems are not uncommon in pets. Behavior problems are often complex to treat and may be the result of medical or environmental problems. At Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital, we begin counseling owners about behavior when their pet is still young so that behavior problems can be recognized early and possibly prevented. If your pet is having trouble getting along with other pets or people in your home, urinates or defecates inappropriately or has issues with separation anxiety, we can help you and your pet solve these behavior problems.

Pet Selection Counseling

If you considering adding a pet to your family, we can help you select a specific species, breed or type of animal. Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital staff can talk to you about what to expect from a particular type of pet so that the relationship between your family and your pet is a positive one. Our aim is for your pet to be a member of your family for many years, and pet selection counseling is the first step to making sure you choose a pet that is right for you and your home.

Pet City Licenses

The City of Norman requires all people living within the City limits of Norman and owning a dog or cat to pay an annual fee for a pet license for each dog or cat over six months of age. We can provide you with your pet's annual city license. Your pet must have a current rabies vaccination to receive its license.
