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!

My pets and I have had THREE emergent issues within the last 5 years. Each time, I have called this clinic for help, regardless of where I am living at the time. She is the ONLY person I can count on to always answer and to always give me direct, knowledgeable advice. No nonsense! She goes far above and beyond and deeply cares for animals. Tonight I had an issue with my cat after normal, clinic hours and she was the only one that answered my call. She gave me advice on what to do and even called me back awhile later to check up on how everything was going. It's so nice to have a calm, direct person to talk to when your world seems to be flipping upside down. I can't recommend this clinic enough. Thank you, Dr. Metzger Holcomb!

Our old dog struggled in his last months. they were so kind and attentive the many times we took him in. When it was his time, and we took him in to have him put down, the Vets and the staff were so gentle and kind to our dog, and to us. Several months later, one of our kitties got terribly sick. She spent several days at the clinic and they went above and beyond trying to figure out what was wrong. I thought she was probably not going to live but they saved her life. They are very reasonably priced. I cant say enough good things about this clinic.
