We recently brought our sweet senior dog in for an urgent care visit and were incredibly fortunate…read moreto have Bev Cochrane as our veterinarian. From the moment she walked into the room, Bev was kind, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping our dog. Even though this was an urgent care appointment, she went above and beyond in every way. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate our pup, performed an ultrasound to ensure nothing was being overlooked, and patiently answered all of our questions. At no point did we feel rushed. (Bonus points for getting our pup's nails trimmed during the visit, something we've deemed nearly impossible since our sweet girl has started to decline.) Over the years, we've seen specialists and veterinarians that required long waits for appointments, yet Bev was more thorough than many of those experiences. She made us feel confident that every appropriate step was being taken and that we were doing everything possible to give our dog the best care and quality of life. Unfortunately, the visit ended with difficult news. Even then, Bev handled the conversation with incredible empathy, kindness, and compassion. She helped us understand the situation while also reassuring us that we had been doing everything we could for our beloved dog. That meant more to us than we can adequately express. If you are looking for a veterinarian who is exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough, and deeply caring, we cannot recommend Bev Cochrane highly enough. We are so grateful for the time, attention, and compassion she showed our family during a very emotional and difficult day.

Brought my dog in after injuring his hind leg playing. We do not have an established vet here and…read morethis was the closest to home. Could not have been more satisfied. Called ahead of time and was told there was no current wait. Dr. Jenkins was very down to earth, competent, and made the exam a breeze! Staff was wonderful as well. I have worked at a vet walk-in, and this visit was much faster and smoother than expected.

Our 10 y/o GSD was scratching himself in the backyard when he suddenly yelped out loud and started…read morewhining out-loud. With over 30 years of experience as a Physician Assistant (PA) I checked him out and found a hematoma in his left year. I told my wife that maybe he was stung by a wasp/hornet and we should put an ice pack against the hematoma. After about 24 hrs we called our primary vet but they didn't have any walk-in appointments for at least one week. She said that she was going to try Ada Veterinary. I reminded her of the negative/lack of ethics by by Brianna Malaki that we had with about 5 years ago. She said she didn't care as Rasta needed to be seen immediately. I drove her up but refused to enter the veterinary office. They said that Rasta broke his cartilage with caused bleeding enough to cause his left ear to drop. They gave him a "No Flap Ear Wrap" and charged her over $500.00 and said she needed to him Monday next week (No Flap Ear Wrap can be bought for $49 on Amazon). The wife brought him for another $200 and was told to bring him the following Monday (today). Had my appointment 12:45 pm went in and was led to an appointment room by Kyra. I informed her that this was Rasta third visit and being 10 y/o I didn't want a thing done to him. She said she understood and then grabbed Rasta and went to leave. I asked where she was going with him and she commented the vet wanted to him in "back". I reminded her that I didn't want any care. After about waiting 20 minutes I open the door and asked the secretary where Rasta was at. She said he was back with the veterinarian and they were discussing what needed to be down. I immediately got pissed and said I never gave my consent to have them do any treatment on him.. Before I knew it there five Vet Techs surrounding me and I repeated that I never gave them permission to do anything to Rasta that is one of that said that's how we do things!! I explained I was a PA are there are two types of consent; implied and given. I explained that he was awake and alert, so it could not be implied. I told the to get Rasta and the told me that had to figure out my bill. I grabbed Brenda Malick's business out of that card holder and said she is unethical and a crook. Through it all not was a veterinarian present to address anything with me. They apparently are spineless and let their staff handle it. Contacting the State of Idaho and filing a formal complaint.

Our sincere gratitude to the great staff at Ada Veterinary Hospital.

I moved here very recently and had to search for a vet. Having just moved here I had no one to…read moreoffer a referral. My boy has chronic pancreatitis and was having a clinical episode. I chose River City Vet and Dr DoBroth was our vet, she is amazing. Took her time, asked the right questions'. She went over a plan and asked if I was good with it. Felt like I was heard. From the moment I walked in it was great. Very clean, staff were very courteous. I got in quickly even though they were busy. Her plan - our plan- is realistic not overboard. Brody is 15 years old and the treatment plan is going very well. In fact, he's acting like a youngster. Thank you Dr DoBroth for your care. Peggy and Brody

I expect a vet to be there when we desperately need help. Instead, River City Vet turned us away…read more During Blue's yearly checkup I mentioned that there had been some respiratory/sneezing issues for several months but this was of no concern to them. We were told he was healthy. He wasn't. I brought Blue in for a weight check 3-4 weeks after his checkup. He had lost nearly a pound in that time. He wouldn't eat. His behavior had changed. No one followed up on my concerns. I called River City Vet a few days after the weight check because Blue was lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink. We were told they didn't have time for us. I took Blue in to West Vet for IV fluids every day for 3 days. My husband was out of the country and made an emergency flight home from Japan while we struggled to keep Blue alive so he could say goodbye to his favorite human. Blue died in our arms on Easter Sunday, a few hours after my husband got home. He was only 6 years old.

This is the second time I've had to take my dog to emergency, and both times, me and my dog had to…read morewait for HOURS, which means they aren't treating it like an emergency. Also, the front desk has no empathy for anyone's situation or what we're going through. They are just throwing facts, paperwork and potential timelines (which are always way off). On our most recent visit, my dog was struggling to swallow, but there were other dogs that were prioritized due to severity, which I understand, but we waited until after midnight, and still didn't get the care we needed. We eventually just left, and saw urgent care the next morning, so my dog had to suffer through the night. I will say the vet tech we had on this last visit was very kind (why I gave an extra star), and at least gave my pup some attention, but after she left, she never came back to check on my dog for over two hours!!! I didn't know if they had just forgotten that we were there, or just didn't care. I do not recommend this pet hospital, and I will not be going there again, for any reason. There are better pet hospitals in the area, which I will go to instead.

I…read morehad already seen a big, fancy vet office with her, but wasn't a fan, so I ended up choosing this smaller, more personal and intimate veterinary Clinic, and I'm so happy I did! Not only is it a cozy house turned into a vet clinic, but the people there are so inviting and kind. Cali gets excited to go there because she knows she'll get all kinds of treats and attention. They let her wander around the office to check everything out, so she feels comfortable. As an added bonus, they schedule so you're the only patient/customer in the clinic at the time of your appointment. No worry of dogs not getting along with others, or any kind of chaos. It's really nice. Dr. Hunter is lovely. She is thorough and takes all things into consideration for any possible treatments. She doesn't provide treatment, unless she truly believes it's necessary, so as not to put any stress on your pet's system or throw any part of their system out of balance. She has food recommendations, and tests as necessary. She clearly has an affinity for animals, and you can see it in the way she cares for them. We are very lucky to have found this place. I feel confident that Cali is getting the care she needs!

My favorite part is that it's a clinic and grooming facility. So if something happened, trained animal specialists are foot steps away. Very happy. And most importantly. So is my dog.

I have this done every year but the price now was outrageous. I found another vet who has been in business for 30 years and was quoted $500. Maybe more if extractions were needed! Also the vet I had been going to Dr. Squires is leaving. They should be ashamed for charging such prices. I will not be back!!

I feel extremely grateful as I write this…read more I have an elderly dog who's been struggling of late. I had not established a veterinarian here in Boise since I relocated after the pandemic. That said, I had been so upset and in so much anxiety since her health appeared to be failing that I spent an entire day this week, driving around and viewing several veterinarian clinics in Boise. I had pretty much given up when I came upon Hometown Animal Clinic. I made an impromptu visit and was greeted kindly and with care by Sarah, who works at the front desk! She was considerate of my tears and quickly scheduled me for this today. The last two days I've been riddled with anxiety about how my 13-year-old girl would do during a vet visit, I must say, it went extraordinarily well. Of course, Sarah was there to greet me this morning. I left Akira in the car until Erin came to the back door to welcome us in. Again, I was very anxious, but Akira had no fear of the environment nor of Erin. Erin was very kind and thorough with her inquiries about the current situation, diet, past etc. Upon Erin beckoning Dr. Duncan, she arrived quietly and kindly. Dr. Duncan spent nearly an hour in the exam room with Akira and I and was very calm and gentle. She concurred and acknowledged my concerns and we moved forward with some necessary testing that was not intrusive. I left feeling the biggest sense of relief and gratitude! I would not hesitate to refer Hometown Animal Clinic and its staff in full! Tonight, I will probably sleep for the first time in a week
