Whitefish Animal Hospital

We experienced top-level customer support at this local animal hospital. While on a road trip, our cat fell ill, and luckily, they accommodated us for a next-day appointment. Dr. Thompson was truly amazing, providing a clear and concise assessment of our cat’s condition and expertly answering all of our questions. The office itself was immaculately clean, and the added bonus of complimentary cookies and coffee made the experience even more pleasant. Moreover, the prices and fees were very reasonable. The exceptional service and care they provided are making us consider cutting our road trip short and seriously contemplate moving to Montana!

Whitefish Animal Hospital is absolutely fantastic. My guinea pig got bumblefoot and had an open sore on one of his paws, and his usual vet was not available. Not all vets will treat exotic animals, so I was really panicking, calling all around the valley, and this clinic fit me in the same day! They let me drop him off before work and called me with updates. They took such good care of him!!! They even pre-measured all his syringes of medication, which was a huge help to me. They called me the day after they saw my guinea pig to check on how he was doing and I appreciate that so much. Definitely professional and compassionate care. Would take my piggy to them again!

The staff here really love animals and it shows in the care they give. They are very compassionate, helpful and gave my fur baby excellent care making sure she was comfortable. They will spoil your pet with lots of of love and a treat. They listened to my concerns with my Gracie and took the time to answer my questions and made suggestions. Highly recommend them they exceeded my expectations. Your fur baby will thank you.🐕❤️😺

This clinic exposes the greedy side of veterinary medicine. I am left feeling taken advantage of and blindsided by the amount of upcharge this clinic has for their services. Don’t let their exorbitant prices fool you into thinking the quality of veterinary care will match the price you pay. I implore anyone that is a current client or plans on becoming one to PLEASE get estimates for services in writing prior to agreeing to anything. According to the code of ethics set forth by the American Veterinary Medical Association “The decision to accept or decline treatment and related cost should be based on adequate discussion of clinical findings, diagnostic techniques, treatment, likely outcome, estimated cost, and reasonable assurance of payment. Once the veterinarian and the client have agreed, and the veterinarian has begun patient care, they may not neglect their patient and must continue to provide professional services related to that injury or illness within the previously agreed limits. As subsequent needs and costs for patient care are identified, the veterinarian and client must confer and reach agreement on the continued care and responsibility for fees.” Seeing as my bill was double the price I was quoted over the phone I did not by any means reach an agreement as to what I was going to be charged for. Please do not fall victim to this clinic and their ploy to exploit your wallet. You don’t have to pay Whitefish prices to get a high standard of care, there are higher quality veterinary clinics in the valley that will uphold their integrity and provide you with services that match the price you pay.

Attentive staff, knowledgeable vets, always a good visit. Recently we had to put down one of our three dogs and the staff was wonderful in caring for him and for us.
