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.

Reproduction

Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital has been offering reproduction services for many years. Services we offer include progesterone testing, Brucella testing, artificial insemination, prenatal care, ultrasound, birthing assistance, planned caesarean births if appropriate, radiographs for OFA certification prior to breeding, and follow up nursing care. If you have any questions about your pet's reproductive health, please ask any member of our staff.

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.

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.
