We tailor wellness plans to each pet's life stage, offering puppy/kitten care, senior pet monitoring, and specialized screenings like PennHIP testing for hip dysplasia. Our focus on client education helps owners make informed decisions about parasite prevention, dental care, and behavioral health.
Emergency Services
We provide immediate veterinary attention for critical conditions during regular hours and partner with Animal Emergency Center for after-hours care. Our team handles trauma, poisoning, respiratory distress, and other life-threatening situations with rapid diagnostics and stabilization procedures. Clients receive clear guidance on recognizing emergency symptoms and accessing urgent care resources.

Our rehabilitation services combine therapeutic exercises, hydrotherapy, and advanced modalities like laser therapy and shockwave treatment. Customized programs address post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, and neurological conditions using underwater treadmills, neuromuscular stimulation, and acupuncture.

Got a visit on my earliest day off, which was most appreciated. The staff from the ladies at the desk to the vet assistant to Dr Poillion were nice, friendly and professional. I have no qualms letting them take care of my Juliette for her further care. Highly recommend this veterinarian establishment.

I would give this no stars if I could. Nobody showed any compassion for my fur friend except for ONE lady at the front desk. They sent us home with no answers and nobody would tell us about her, we had to ask. All they cared about was making their money. I will never recommend this place again. And performing tests that we did not consent too is unprofessional at its best. Wish I can take my $300 back and try to find a vet that actually cares about saving my fur friend instead of telling me we need to euthanize.

We were looking for a new vet last year and Rose Rock was mentioned to us after we had tried 3 others and weren't all that happy with them. We have 5 dogs so we see the vet more than most. From the very beginning they have all been professional and so responsive to our dogs needs. The staff and doctors are all so nice, friendly and responsive. They spend time with us to get good histories etc and then time is spent talking about what is going on with our dogs and what the tx plan will be. We are so pleased that we are staying with them eventho we drive from Minco to Norman. The trip is well worth it.

Just moved to OK. My dog had an emergency and took him here, not knowing anything about them. WELL. I am completely impressed. They were able to see him in less than 3 hours, short wait time. Kind, compassionate, listened to my concerns, and told me how cute my sweet boy is. (He is!) The total bill was much less than I expected. The vet techs were wonderful, the Vet was wonderful. I have other pets and Rose Rock will be the only veterinarian clinic they will go to.

I am someone who is very selective to who I take my cats to get help from and Rose Rock was amazing. My one cat, who I call Madi is very squeamish and I was afraid of how she would react with a new vet. To sum up a long story I didn't know my cat was able to be controlled and feel safe like they were able to do for her. I will definitely be coming back to Rose Rock and I highly recommend them to anyone else.

There was a time where no matter who I called, I couldn't find any vet around during a rather desperate time for my cat. Rose rock knew I needed someone quick and they did not disappoint. We also come to this vet for our frogs as my roommate has over six or so. No matter what animal you have, every animal is treated like a family member and not just a pet. I can guarantee you that there is no better place in Norman then here.

They did a fantastic job with my baby. She had surgery there. They kept me updated and even sent me a picture. When she was done to, let me know she was doing great.
