Animal Center Veterinary Hospital

Lovely folks. We are visiting from out of state and needed more of the specialty dog food for our guy. They carried it and told us to come on in. Other places were requiring a prescription although our home vet said no prescription was needed. This place took the time to check into it and confirmed we did not require a prescription. They saved us alot of time and we appreciate you. Thank you.

I think this is one of the best veterinary clinics in town. Not only are they my regular clinic, but I've had to make 3 emergency visits to them (spread over years), and they have ALWAYS been available for my animals. I can not say this about other vets in town. I won't mention names, even though I should. They do their best to give you up-front pricing, so you aren't totally shocked by the cost. I also feel that they don't do unnecessary testing just for the money.

Last year, we had only been in Helena for two months and had an incredibly traumatic experience at another vet in town. As we were new and our 6 y/o dog was healthy, we hadn't yet established a vet. She became acutely ill, and what followed with the other vet in town was an astounding lack of compassion, empathy, and advocacy for our quickly deteriorating pet. We wound up taking our pet to a specialist in Missoula where it was determined she had cancer, but the treatment received at the other vet was traumatizing for us as pet owners. So, a year and a few months later we were ready to adopt another pet. We had made the decision to seek primary vet care in Bozeman because we were still so upset by the treatment we received last year. A coworker recommended Animal Center Veterinary Hospital, and we couldn't be more happy that we started taking our puppy, Joey here. Dr. Newman is incredibly patient with us, and I have called on two separate occasions with questions about her health - once over Memorial Day when he wasn't working- and he has called back within half an hour both times, which exceeded my expectations by a mile. He is incredibly kind and never makes you feel rushed, and you can tell he genuinely still loves and cares for dogs. We are so happy we made the change. I don't really leave google reviews, but wanted to give this great vet a shout out.

Dr. Newman and staff were absolutely wonderful! Our girl isn't a big fan of the vet, but she was totally at ease with them. I highly recommend them, everyone was so nice!

We take our Rottweiler, Aussie, Snow Bengal, and Tuxedo to see Dr. Lori 'G'. I have worked with the other vets as well as they provide the primary veterinary care for the Lewis & Clark Humane Society and would take care of the litters of kittens I would foster. They have handled everything from simple checkups to failure to thrive issues to spays and neuters and are always spectacular. They handled the additional stresses and special circumstances of COVID-19 in a very professional and caring way. I highly recommend the Animal Center!
