North Palouse Veterinary Clinic

They're very professional, but yet down to Earth people who are most excellent in dealing with many types of animals. I trust them implicitly with my furry babies. I also love how economical they are and how easy it is to get your pet seen especially in emergency and serious life threatening situations. And I hear they make trips each year to our town's city hall to help make sure rabies shots are updated and given while city hall updates city tags. They're truly full service and a wonderful veterinarian office to help care for your animal babies.

I'll be looking for a new vet if possible and use them as a last resort. Took my goat in for pneumonia and knew he needed a shot of Draxxin. They told me they didn't hear him cough once and didn't hear ragged breath. They also told me his blood levels showed low Magnesium, but no mention of how low or how to correct. After acting like I was overreacting, they took an xray and confirmed pneumonia. Not 5 minutes on the ground after I brought him home, he had a coughing fit and I could hear ragged breath still. It was only after consulting with another vet that he told me some of his symptoms are due to low Mg and I needed to supplement. So $300+ later I got a diagnosis I already knew and zero help on how to solve an issue THEY pointed out.

The two stars is a push here. I had a horse emergency and that’s why they get the extra star because they were able to come out within 2 hours of it happening. Well it was absolutely a waste of time and money. They were rude, didn’t answer my questions and did absolutely nothing to help my horse. She only shaved and cleaned out a 3.5 inch deep wound that absolutely needed stitches. I could have easily done that. OH did not even think he needed antibiotics!! He lives outside! Seriously?! But they were too lazy to do it. “Keep it clean and it should heal just fine”. Um no. No it won’t. I was left in utter shock but I had to trust the “professionals”. Also how she wanted me to clean it would also have prolonged healing and made it harder to heal as well. I should have gone to WSU. Thankfully a friend had antibiotics I could use. If she didn’t, and it got infected I would have sued. It was on the path of 4-6 months of healing. No joke. But after a week and 1/2 it looked HORRIBLE so called another local vet who couldn’t come out originally. They came out immediately and had to mess with it, cut a ton of flesh off and out of the wound. This vet had to put 3 LAYERS OF STITCHES ON THE INSIDE OF THE WOUND ALONE! so a total of 4 layers of stitches. 3 weeks after having the other vets out it was almost perfectly healed and he was on a boatload of antibiotics during this too!! Which was never prescribed by North Palouse!!! He is fine and happy and riding now. But I will never recommend or use North Palouse again. I would rather overpay and go to WSU or somewhere in Spokane before thinking of using them again. So disappointed with them. Waste of money using North Palouse.

Have been going here for years now. They are always nice and friendly. Prices are normally the going rate. I have never thought they were trying to add things to get the price up. They always sound very knowledgeable up-to-date on the latest techniques and troubles animals have. We are happy to have them and the care they give our animals.

Brought our cat in after an emergency visit up in post falls and was told to get connected with a surgical specialist in Spokane. He got shot and the bullet shattered his femur. The specialist told us they were too far out to take him and to contact a local clinic for a last ditch effort for someone to do an amputation. Luckily, I called North Palouse clinic Monday morning, and they got me in THE SAME DAY. They treated us respectfully and patiently and took our cat in right away. Dr. Carnahan not only took care of him on the same day but also took her own images and decided that she could save his leg. No amputation needed. It was 1/4 of the cost that we were quoted from the specialist, for a procedure far more complicated than an amputation. You honestly pray for people to help in times of need and Dr.Carnahan and her staff helped us beyond what we could've hoped for.
