I agree with the other review on here. The vet is no nonsense and with that comes honesty as well…read more She won't recommend things your pet does not need and when things are needed they are very reasonably priced. I could not believe the low prices she charges but I think to her it's more about keeping the profession pure and all about the pets. If you want someone that will hold your hand, wipe your tears and tell you what you want to hear then this place is not for you because she will tell it how it is and I, for one, really appreciate that in a situation where I know NOTHING!

The clinic got us in after hours, right away and saved our dog, Sedona! She was in their hospital overnight and everyone in the clinic were so compassionate, and loving to our fur babies. Dr. Kayla is super smart, knowing just how to treat our Sedona with a pancreatitis attack right away. We have never had such a comforting experience in a such a stressful time. Sedona is back to herself and it is a miracle. We cannot thank you at Fall River Clinic enough for everything you did. Dr. Kayla is the Best we have ever been around in 35 years of dog parenting.

It's a haul and Rapid has plenty of competent vet practices. BUT--we took our very ill dog in on Monday morning and she's still recovering there. She's had xrays, sonograms, daily blood work, meds, a 3+ hour intensive surgery, IV fluids, + + +... and the vet bill currently stands at only $2100.00. They "try to keep the costs down for our patients." IT SHOWS. They're skilled, they really care, they take the time to develop a relationship with the animals, with the owners. I can't say enough good things about the Fall River Veterinary Clinic. If our girl doesn't pull through, it won't be because they didn't do everything they could to pull her through. We went to see our girl last night, and Dr. Kayla sat down on the floor with her and us to discuss her condition, her care, the details of her treatment. We know that she'll honestly tell us what is best for our girl--and that's the key.

I work with firefighters and veterinarians, knowing so many different vets from across the states I believe puts me in a unique position. I have many of my own pets as well, regardless of what I do in life, when it comes to my own pets, I blindly must put trust in my veterinarians. I also know the pure emotion and anxiety of your pet having an emergencie. All that being said I felt blessed for myself and my dog when we found Animal Care of Spearfish. It was the first time I felt I was listened to. I never felt rushed, unclear, or uncertain about any decisions being made or treatments being done. Dr. Whalen and his staff are the a specialist. He laid it out ,gave a recommendation and let me choose. I am from California and this office is in South Dakota. When you are truly comfortable that your pet is in the best hands, your confidence about your pets health is increased. I love feeling so knowledgeable about what is going on with my girl! I guess what I have to say is thank you, for listening, and for all you do. As to my review. I think I'll drive her yearly for a well check. Dr. Whalen is the best part of my pets Health Care!

Dr Ireland saw Zuni, took some labs & came back with a reasonable diagnosis. She eliminated Giardia & bacteria issues & started her on Metronidazole, probiotics & an ID diet. After a few days of this protocol, Zuni is doing much better. Dr Ireland was very instructive, patient, and thorough. I will follow up with my vet when I reach my home, but appreciate Dr Ireland immensely with her diagnosis & help. I would recommend this practice, as staff & vet were kind & professional. Practice was extremely clean & organized.

I took my cats here for the first year or so I lived in Rapid City. Both of my cats had gingivitis,…read moreand this clinic recommended full-mouth extractions for both of them and quoted us over $5,000. This clinic is also the only time I've ever seen one of my cats in deep distress. They were trying to administer an injection, and my cat was screaming and crying like I've never heard before. They wrapped him in a blanket, and I left feeling like I was being blamed for his discomfort. Since then, I have taken my cats to Noah's Ark in Rapid City, where they treat your pets like family. Both of my cats have fully recovered from their gingivitis without any extractions, and my cat has never reacted like that at another veterinary clinic. I'm also a college student, and when I asked about financing options, I did not feel like my concerns were well received. Noah's Ark helped us get set up with CareCredit. My experience left me feeling like this clinic was more focused on recommending expensive treatment than exploring less invasive options. Please take your pets somewhere else so they can get the care they deserve. If your pet is recommended for extensive dental work, I strongly encourage getting a second opinion before making a decision.
