Our dog is large - 129 pounds as of Tuesday. He is also uncooperative in Veterinarian offices, where he gets a little snappy and defensive. As he is a rescue we don't know all his history that might explain his behavior, but have learned that blood draws require sedation. Baxter County Animal Clinic was the sixth vet's office we have visited, and by far the best experience we have had. They understood his reluctance, and, rather than get him all worked up, sedated him, first inter-muscularly, and then into a vein. Blood drawn with little drama, and, after an extended recovery period where we never felt rushed to get him out of the office, Cinco was on his way home. Compassionate, smart care. So glad this clinic was suggested to us, and happy that our not-so-little troublemaker has vets that "get" him. Extremely reasonably priced was a bonus. Highly recommend this clinic. read more

First off...Dr Shed hit my puppy with the door not once but TWICE as she entered the exam room. (The rooms are super small..so maybe they should change the doors to open out instead of in) I'm sure this happens to everyone that visits this clinic. I also had my black and tan coonhound with me to have her anal glands expressed. I wanted to be taught so I could do it at home. her response "I have yet to see a pet owner become successful at it, plus it's pretty gross." (lady, get off your high horse and stop being so darn presumptuous) She has no idea who I am, what my experiences are, and what I'm capable of handling! Her assistant also pulled on my coonhounds leash, choked her, and even tried dragging her.. this is completely unacceptable! I yanked the leash from her hand and was appalled that I had to tell her not to do what she was doing. Back to my puppy: She gave him his last puppy combo vaccine and his first rabies shot.. SHE MADE HIM WHIMPER AND CRY OUT BOTH TIMES!! He's never felt discomfort or made a peep with his other rounds of shots! Mind you, she labeled the combo vaccine "the parvo shot," and I corrected her, and she popped back with "simplified" (this isn't a simple thing. I need to know you are giving my fur baby the proper vaccines.. this is supposed to be his last round of combination puppy shots. Your clients deserve to know in detail what they and their pets are getting.. not your "simplified" lazy& abbreviated version) She, right off the bat, insulted me and my puppy by saying she didn't understand the whole doodle craze, and why couldn't people just leave it at standard poodles like HER dog. (REALLY?! this is how you start your relationship with a NEW client?) She then proceeded to ask me if I planned on keeping my male puppy intact and I said possibly..bc he's such a rare color and exceptional breed (whoodle) his stud fee can range from 1k to 2k. She offered unsolicited advice..."Well, you better make sure the dogs are all health tested for burcellosis (stds), etc. I told her my dog came from a VERY reputable breeder (not from this area), and she would be arranging the pairings with healthy potential breeders that are most definitely health tested, including burcellosis. She said not to count on the breeder doing that testing bc SHE highly doubted they did. That most didn't (AT THIS POINT I AM HAVING TROUBLE NOT GOING OFF ON HER.. BUT HAVE DECIDED WE WILL NEVER DARKEN THIS VETS DOOR AGAIN AND WE NEED TO MAKE A VERY QUICK EXIT) she gave me a hard time about my other dogs records that weren't transferred over completely.. and kept trying to push for an exam, but I declined several times... I decided to make this horrific experience known publicly so others can make an informed decision on bringing their beloved pets to the likes of her. Dr. Shed, you have no bedside manner. You are rude, condescending, presumptuous, and overall, a toxic human being that will never see me or my angel fur babies again. read more

Had an awesome experience this morning with Baxter County Animal Clinic. Had a sick kitty and the clinic had a spot to squeeze us in thankfully. Dr. Shedenhelm and her staff instantly made us feel welcome. "Dr. Shed" was so knowledgeable about all of our kitty's issues and carefully explained our options. Both my husband and I felt very confident with the treatment plan. We are so pleased to have found Baxter County Animal Clinic and all the caring folks who work there. read more

An excellent place to take your precious animal! I have had my animals boarded here as well as surgeries, prescriptions and advice. Everyone is caring and efficient! RiverSunday read more

When Dr. Snodgrass was there they would work with online pharmacies because he understood that it was important to make sure his clients saved money anywhere they could and were provided with good customer service. It is no longer their practice to correspond with online or 3rd party pharmacies. You must now get a written prescription and send/take it to your chosen pharmacy. I like the new vet, but it's a shame that customer service at this location no longer exists. Seems to me the more I save on prescriptions the more I can potentially spend for services. Only service there now is see a vet for 2 minutes then make multiple trips back and forth to get a written prescription that is written for a limited amount (in my case 90 days) even though my dog has a lifelong health issue and will need this her entire life, to then send in/take to the online or 3rd party pharmacy. Try Hello Ralphie instead, then hit the Rabies/Vaccination clinics in the Spring. read more

Have used this clinic several times and repeatedly impressed w their care. Dr. Shedenhelm truly cares for the critters and is great and explaining things where I can understand them. Even in difficult situations/diagnosis. Her compassion and knowledge keeps me coming back. After several different vets and services needed, I can confidently say they are best in class. Thanks for taking care of us BCAC! Al, Ace & Vada read more

Baxter County Animal Clinic - Vada on the vet table after a visit - she's a good girl! - Veterinarians Near Me - Mountain Home, Arizona

Unprofessional conduct with customer service here. Boarded dogs and cats for two years and prepaid bills for services - thousands of dollars.... Got a rude phone call for $2 remaining on bill after we were told that we had paid the complete bill in full, but they forgot a $2 pill and were calling about this past due amount.... We had spent a lot of money with them but will now be searching for a new veterinarian in the area. Keep in mind all the good reviews came while Doctor Snodgrass was the veterinarian... read more

This is the doctor that we use for our pets he's wonderful gentle and kind I wouldn't take a better man in team that he has behind him thank you. read more

This is the most unprofessional vet clinic I have been to. Old man was very unprofessional with our dog and the first words out of his mouth were "that's the biggest ass cyst". Was NOT respectful at all. Made my sister go back into the room with him and watch him sedate our dog. He also made her help with the procedure. We are NOT the doctor. He is. He was supposed to retire YEARS ago because he's almost 90 years old and shouldn't be working. If you go to this vet, see a different doctor. read more

Highly recommend Dr Snodgrass for all of your animal health care needs. Doc has been here for years and has a lot of common sense even though he can be a little blunt at times. Quality care at affordable prices. read more

Dr. Snodgrass can exhibit a gruff personality but inside, the man is pure gold and fun to trade barbs with. He is an honest man and won't tell you something if it isn't possible. He has a wonderful staff and i would never take my pets anywhere else. read more

Dr. Snodgrass is one of the oddest people that I have ever met, yet I have never encountered a better veterinarian in my life. He really knows what he's doing. The clinic is like Goldie Locks and the 3 Bears---It's just right (not to big or too small). It's clean and the staff are great. I've met a few retired vets in town and they take their pets there. That says a lot. Level of medicine is high yet priced right. This is a gem! read more

Both veterinarians are very good with our pets. Their prices are very reasonable. They are the only ones that would give my 13 yr old Shihitzu a dental cleaning for $100. As they were having a special on dentals, I was able to get both my dogs done. Two yrs ago another veterinarian quoted me $600., so it didn't get done at that time. They are truly amazing with the animals! read more

Dr. Snodgrass is amazing. True story: When I was in high school, I had a pet cat. He was very attached to me and I was very fond of him. One day, I went for a four mile run down the rural road by my house. I was about 1 and 1/2 miles down the road and looked back to see my cat had followed me. He was about 100 meters away and I started going towards him so that I could take him back to the house. Just then, a huge four-door dually came screaming down the small road. It was pretty loud, he panicked, and ran across the road towards the woods; he was too late though, and the truck ran over him. He fell on the road, his hind end crushed, lacerated, and bleeding. The driver stopped and asked if he could help, but there wasn't time for that. I picked him up and ran the 1 and 1/2 miles back to my house with him in my arms. We took him straight to Dr. Snodgrass. It was touch and go for a while but after some surgery and indoor care, he was literally back to normal save a small, barely noticeable leaning to the right. He lived 11 years after the incident and needed no further treatments. To this day, I'm amazed Dr. Snodgrass was able to save him. read more

Dr. Snodgrass is the most caring and dedicated vet, I have ever seen and met. I first met him many years ago when I took my dog Sumoo for a second opinion, when Spring park animal hospital had dropped the ball on her post op care on her leg. He saved her leg. Dr. Snodgrass has been my vet ever since. He saved my cat's leg. I know my cat got through it because of the awesome care provided by Dr. Snodgrass. He has no problem making sure your taking care of your pets properly. He has his vet costs reasonable where you should be able too! Even though I moved out of the area now and live in Springfield , MO, He still will board my animals if I need it when I am in the area! I can still bring my animals to him for care! Once a good patient, Always a patient! They say All dogs go to heaven, well I know there will be a special place for Dr. Snodgrass there for all the love and care he has given so freely to Animals and others! You Rock Dr. Snodgrass!!!!!!!!!!! read more

We vacation nearly every year in Mountain Home. This year our german shepherd developed a gastric tortion (twisted stomach), which is certain death if you don't catch it in time. I called Dr. Snodgrass after hours (about 8:00 on a Monday night), and told him what was happening to my dog. He gave me directions to his office where he met me, called in his vet tech, and another vet to do the surgery to save my dog's life. They started the surgery around 10:00 and didn't finish until about midnight, then he kept my dog a couple of extra days to keep him on IV fluids, which my dog promptly tore out when he escaped his run. Ruger (my dog), met Dr. Snodgrass at the front door the next morning after the surgery. I'm not sure how many times my dog escaped his run, but he chewed through a leash they had tied to the gate to try to keep him in. He also escaped while Dr. Snodgrass was doing surgeries the following morning. I think Dr. Snodgrass called my dog a 'royal pain in the ass'!!! I am so grateful to him for coming in and helping my dog. If I lived in Mountain Home, Dr. Snodgrass would be my vet for sure. He might charge me more for having such a 'pain in the ass' dog, but I think he's worth it!!!! read more
