Intermountain Pet Hospital, Overland

I am so grateful I found Dr. Hunt and Intermountain Pet Hospital. My German Shephard Dog Koda had a bad experience at a previous vet when he was a puppy and it has made him very difficult to exam and treat for all vets. Dr. Hunt and his assistant examined Koda and treated his ear infection in the back of my vehicle to accommodate his fear. On another visit, when Koda had a run in with a porcupine, Dr. Hunt sedated Koda in my vehicle before they carried him inside to remove the quills. Dr. Hunt is always so calm and explains everything in detail. Thank you for being so understanding, I appreciate it more than you know.

I brought my dog in for a hurt paw, I have to say I ADORE Dr.Lynch she was so amazing with my anxiety reactive dog. I have never seen my dog so calm at a vet office. He was giving her little kisses, going up to her for pets, and even laid down while we talked. She gave me very reasonable options but suggested the option that benefited my dog having a positive experience instead of causing anxiety. She will be the only vet I will go to, very positive, kind, and took the time to look at everything I was concerned about. She really shows she loves what she does.

I appreciate them being fear free and they really go at your animals pace giving medications to calm if needed. Very knowledgeable and willing to listen and have you join in on their care plan. I’ve used IPH for over 10+ years.

Very friendly and professional staff. We brought our new puppy in for the last round of puppy vaccines and will start bringing our other dogs here as well. Definitely would recommend!

I had been bringing my animals here for over 5 years. Both my adopted cats had been seen by multiple vets here. Ashley Kimbel will go down in history as the worst vet I have ever had. I had brought my cat Salem in with facial swelling. After 3 trips we scheduled a dental as that is what they told us would be the next step. After the exam in the morning Ashley Kimbel Suggested that we have a cranial Xray done, my husband and I agreed. We waited several hours for the vet to call back to tell us that she had a cancerous tumor in her face and that we would need to discuss if we wanted to "wake her up." As devastated as we were my husband and I made the tough decision to say goodbye to our beautiful girl, only for us to call back and have Ashley say "wait hold on. I'm going to get a second opinion." After we had already been told to decide if she was going to live or die. We waited another few hours for her to call back and say " it is in fact cancer, but it sounds like you need more time with her so we are going to take these bad teeth out of her mouth and as long as she keeps eating you can keep her home." I was already beginning the grieving process, just to be made to feel like I was the one not ready to make the decision that was best for our girl. After verbalizing with the doctor how upset I was with being told to decide if we were going to say goodbye to our girl just to be told, after we decided it was okay to come be with her to cross the rainbow bridge, just to have her turn around and say it sounded like I needed more time. WHO WOULDNT WANT MORE TIME WITH THEIR ANIMAL. We went to pick our girl up, the doctor didn't come out, didn't greet us, didn't dicuss how to keep her comfortable. Didn't even bother telling the nurse who brought her to us that she had a terminal illness and to discuss what we should look for. She was passed to us, with 4 less teeth, knowing she didn't have a good outlook, and some pain management. She told me she wasn't in any pain. But two days later when Salem was straining to go to the bathroom and forcing so hard she was throwing up we took her into the emergency vet. He disagreed with them taking her teeth. He told me she was in serious pain. And we inevitably said goodbye to our beautiful girl the Sunday following the 1200 dollar procedure to remove her teeth and for them to make US feel like we are the problem. There was no empathy from Ashley. Just an email saying yeah, I can work on that. Don't bring your cats here if you want them to be treated with love and care. Especially not to Ashley. She'll just charge you money for something you weren't in the right headspace to say yes to and ignore you. My Baby SUFFERED for 2 days because you didn't do the right thing. I will never forget that. I tell everyone who will listen.
