I love coming to this pet clinic for my fur babies. Front desk girls are great and always helpful. Vet techs are nice, both doctors Mike and Alina are great. Pricing are competitive. Thank you read more

See all

This is the veterinarian I use for my yellow Labrador. The staff is warm and friendly and the vets and vet techs are very knowledgeable and it's obvious they care a lot about animals. Bonus tip, Sonic is next door so you can get a pup cup after your visit. read more

I'm new to Idaho and was in need of a vet. I chose Critter Clinic due to location. I had a great experience with my Yorkie who needed teeth removed and cleaned. She had great care. The vet even called me that night and the day after to check on her. I haven't ever had a vet call me personally, so I really appreciated it. Staff seemed nice, too. It's hard to turn your fur-babies over to just anybody, so I was grateful for the care she received. read more

I originally noticed this clinic as it was very close to our home. However at the time we had a critical need which was too late to schedule a Saturday appointment, so we ended up going to All Valley instead, as they were a 24-hour operation. It turned out to be the biggest mistake ever. I convinced my wife to go to the Critter Clinic instead, after a less-than-desirable experience at All Valley. To say that the service and care the staff gave to our Little Boy was great would be an understatement. Everyone from the front desk administrative staff to Dr. Mike went above and beyond to make sure that our Boy was comfortable throughout our visits. After a recent appointment where he received his annual vaccines, the staff went above and beyond to call us the next day to see how he was doing and if there were any issues. We have never had any clinic in the past call us for a wellness check the following day. It was a great surprise! If you're looking for a vet, we definitely recommend the great staff and service at the Critter Clinic! read more

We took our two pups, Odin and Freya, in for a grooming service with Michaela and Cam and couldn't be more pleased! Freya came out with the biggest smile. I can tell they can't wait to go back and be pampered as soon as possible. Thank you Michaela and Cam, will be back again! read more

Critter Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Michaela and Camellia are amazing groomers and they love my dogs like they are their own I will be using them from now on with future pets as well!!!! read more

We've been taking our dogs to Critter Clinic for well over a dozen years. We have had all the Veterinarians at one time or another. We have excellent service from them and feel they all sincerely care for our dogs. There have been several under their care thru the years. Their staff always shows the utmost courtesy and care as well. Based on what we observe and feel about the care of our dogs, we heartily recommend Critter Clinic. read more

I cannot begin to tell you how impressed and thrilled I am with Critter Clinic. I adopted a cavalier dog a year ago. He needed his booster shots so I looked for the vet closest to me. Dr. Thresher spent about 20 mins discussing his behavioral issues with me. And she really listened! She didnt just rush us through. She gave me several options and we talked about pros/cons. Then his exam, she was thorough and gentle. For his shots she took him in the back, which I appreciate since one time several years ago I passed out in a different vets office when my dog yelped (yeah, so embarrassing) I am so very happy with my new vet-I recommend anyone with pets that they go here. Thanks Dr. Thresher! You're the best! read more

The new grooming staff is absolutely incredible. I have never been so pleased with a groom before! Thank you so much Cam and Michaela it was such a pleasure! Looking forward to our next appointment. read more

I DO NOT recommend them at all. It Is the worse experience I have ever had. No respect at all. I called them to ask why they did not told me or recommend the Tri heart plus for my puppy, the doctor started yelling at me, and did not give any chance to talk. Very disrespectful and bad communication. During the appointment the doctor just give the vaccine and not asking me if I have any question, I was asking them so many questions. The "Doctor" never mentioned tri heart plus for my 7lb puppy and it is really important for small dogs. I just found out about it from another doctor in the same clinic. It's really bad clinic. They are rude and dont care about their customers. Very disappointed! read more

We are new to the area and needed some dental work done on our dog. Our first visit to Critter Clinic was great. Our Dr. was a fill in for the full time vets employed here. She was super attentive and was great with our skidish dog. She was amazing and we thought we had found our new vet. She did the blood work and the initial exam to ensure our dog would be ok to have dental work completed. She said we could schedule a dental exam free of charge to get a quote on the work needed to make our dog feel better. We double checked to ensure that the exam was free. When we arrived the full time vet started doing another check up. I was confused so I didn't say anything. When she finished she took a 20 second look at our dog's teeth and gave us a quote between $600 and $1000. After getting over the sticker shock we collected our things to leave and on our way out they attempted to charge us a follow up visit fee. This clinic seems to be all about the $ and getting every last penny they can. We are super disappointed especially after being so happy with our first visit. We will not be going back and should have taken our uncle's recommendation of not giving them our business as he had a similar experience. read more

I went to this Vet for a recurring skin issue and for routine shots for my boy. The Veterinarian was a hard-seller. She told me about a bunch of things my boy needed, and it seemed to have an undertone of "or else who knows what will happen to him." Yep. She tried to scare me into purchasing a bunch of stuff THEY SELL. She kept saying "We sell it" "We sell that, too." "I can get you that today." She reminded me of an auctioneer. I Had to ask for a quote for services broken down. She didn't want to give me the printed quote with the prices of all the stuff she tried to sell me. In the end...? She didn't even know what the skin issue was, other than specialty food (they sell it!) might help. I left feeling a huge lack of trust for anything she had to say. Too bad, too. It's a small neighborhood place. The kind you used to be able to trust. Never again. Not the place for me or my pets. (The ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful, however.) read more

Their staff is so very friendly and helpful. They have expressed such caring for our pets throughout their lives.

Since the breeder we got our puppies from had used this clinic I decided to do the same. The staff was nice but didn't really seem sincere when attending to my puppies. The puppies got rabies vaccinations and wormer boosters. The lady that gave the shots told me my puppies could get a litany of side effects, one being diarrhea. Both puppies have diarrhea and can't even drink water without immediately vomiting. I've had many puppies in my life that have all gotten the same vaccinations and never have I seen this. I can't help but blame the clinic for over administrating excessive doses for puppies 4 months old. Before leaving I was talked to about spaying and neutering my pups and had to wait for the lady to work up 2 page quotes so I could see the cost. I never even asked for any of that. Overall, not much proof in any of my allegations but when you get a bad vibe on the first visit it can't be a good thing. I won't ever being going back. read more

While one of the Vets' is a great guy and very kind and compassionate the front end staff is horrible! My dog had a siezure and when i called for an emergency appointment we were told "Im sorry we are completly booked and cannot fit you in". We had to request a refferal to a local emergency vet office. On the way to another clinic we had to drive by the Critter Clinic. Parking lot was completely empty and the office appeared to be as well. Changed our pets over to Northwest Animal Hospital for the great service and staff! read more

I brought my severely matted elderly cat to Critter Clinic to get groomed. I was worried about if they would be able to do it since she was so very matted in so many places. But, they were able to completely groom her! She got a bath, had her nails cut, and the mats removed. The groomer was very flexible and said my cat could stay as long as she'd need to since I was at work when she was getting groomed. I really appreciated that. read more

Having worked for this clinic as well as having my pets cared for by them I can honestly say that this is one of the worst veterinary clinics I have ever seen. They refuse to get any NECCESARY ungraded technology for proper testing and treatment, they are still running this clinic as if its 40 years ago when they did not have medical advancments. They want to sell the clinic and retire so they only spend money on absolute neccesities, at the cheapest price they can find. Having surgery on your pet here would be a mistake. They cut corners everywhere they can and toss your pet into a cold metal cage, and if it barks or whines the manager puts them in a cold kennel in a different room in the dark until their owners show up because "they annoy her." They treat their employees like COMPLETE crap, they are borderline abusive to their employees and cant keep a decent staff because the manager is a psycho and she chases every employee away with her psycho controlling rude attitude. Half of their technitions are not certified nor have experience as a vet tech, they do not have the proper skills to do animal medical care. They have to hire low class people who arent certified because any other tech would be in utter shock at how many corners are cut so that the owner makes more money but the clinic lacks proper equiptment. read more

I just moved from the Bench to this area. I came home from work to find my Lab cross had torn her eyelid open badly and had stress diarrhea all over the house. (It looked like she had torn her eye out at first.) I called Critter Clinic, said 'My dog has torn her eyelid open and you're the nearest vet!' They let me turn up with no appointment, a dog covered in diarrhea, with a torn open eye, who promptly vomited all over their floor. They were nothing but kind and helpful in spite of the fact I wouldn't be able to pay until my paycheck cleared in a few days. They sedated her and got her cleaned and stitched up. She's in her cone of shame now and has some healing ahead of her, but she kept the eye and is going to be just fine. Their prices were more than reasonable. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! The staff were amazing where other vets would have outright turned me away. They even stayed past closing time so my wife could get there with the car to take our dog home! We will definitely be going back! I don't write a lot of reviews, but I honestly felt compelled to make sure people know the value of this place! read more

My dog was critically ill, they gave me a appt ASAP and took excellent care of him. I'm new to area and it's hard to know who you can trust your animal children with, they were compassionate and my dog wagged his tail when I took him back to have the Cath removed, I would take him back there in a minute and would highly refer them. I would like to thank the staff and Dr.'s for saving my Bubba. read more

I was referred here by a relative and I am glad. They take excellent care of my Bichon! She has a heart condition and they check her monthly and do her lab work. They also coordinate with WestVet if any additional testing is needed. They are very professional and nice. I have never had an issue getting an appointment. They are great! read more

I gave it 2 stars because they USED TO BE wonderful with my pets...Dr. Thresher especially and Dr. Dennison. Sometimes things happen to your pet at a time of the month when you aren't rolling in money and this is what happened to me. My dog had been diagnosed about three years prior with diabetes and was doing fine. Out of the clear blue she stopped eating, stopped drinking and started shaking and I did not know what to do to help her. I knew from being in the office several times and having clients come in and say they wanted to make a payment on their bill that they could have helped me make financial arrangements for at least one visit...not the case. I have spent thousands of dollars at this clinic over the years on my animals and have never needed help paying but this time I did. My friend went in and explained the situation and their response?? "Take her to the humane society"...take her to the humane society? Really with that? It ended up that without help I needed to put my dog down and I miss her presence and I believe I will never be able to forget their last comments to me about a member of our family. Very painful to think that professionals who have sincerely cared for your pets could come across as uncaring and cold as this. Take her to the humane society, I will never forget that. read more

Terrible. Over the past 10 months my father in law took his cat to the Critter Clinic because the cat wasn't eating and was losing weight dramatically. It was very obvious something was terribly wrong. And every 3-4 weeks my father in law would take the cat in to be looked at and every time the Critter Clinic would adjust the cat's food or make some other trivial, meaningless adjustment then collect their fees, until the next visit. Today we took the cat to our family Veterinarian who x-rayed the cat (something that was never done at the Critter Clinic) and found a large mass next to the intestines. One additional test later we learned that the mass was cancer and that the cancer had spread. For ten months this sweet little cat suffered by going to the Critter Clinic. It is a very sad day today but thank you to the wonderful Veterinarian and staff at The Pet Doctor whose competence and compassion has meant the world to us. read more
