We were traveling thru Whitefish when our little Doxie developed a sickness. I called the office and was provided an appointment immediately with Dr. Shea Stevens. The service, professionalism and care were superb. Dr. Stevens examined our little guy and recommended a great treatment plan. We are so grateful to the entire team and appreciate the outstanding care. 5 STARS +++++ read more

We are so grateful to Dr. Joanie, vet tech Martha and the other WAH staff for their compassion and care during the last few months of our senior cat Honey's life with us. We knew the end was coming and Dr. J worked with us to relieve Honey's discomfort as best we could, until it was apparent the time for her to move on had come. Then the care given on Honey's "goodbye" day made us feel cared for even though we were all very sad. The private cremation package, including a beautiful wooden box-urn, paw-plaque, paw-ornament (thanks, Martha!) and lovely hand-written condolence note from Dr J. and support emails, was more personal than end of life care we received in the past from other veterinary practices in other cities with other cats and dogs. Honey is "our last best cat" and this is the first time we've lived without an animal companion in 48 years, but we feel her with us. We deeply appreciate the support from the WAH staff over the past 6 years, since she moved with us to Whitefish. The care she received from multiple vets and staffers since 2019 helped her live to age 20 (our oldest cat ever) and enjoy Montana with us. We recommend their care to others with senior cats. Thank you, WAH! Barb & Glenn Schiffman read more

Our toy chihuahua was unfortunately killed by an owl which brought us to Whitefish Animal Hospital to have her cremated. The staff was so caring and helpful, it really made this situation easier. They returned our Sadie in a tasteful box and included a plaster cast of her little paw print. Thank you so much Whitefish Animal Hospital for being there for us when we lost the tiniest member of our family. read more

We were traveling through montana when our dog started getting pretty sick. After some research we decided to go to Whitefish AH and are so happy with our decision to do so. They saw us the day after we called and helped our dog get back into tip top shape. The care he received while there was incredible and the follow up care was so impressive. With direct contact with his vet after hours for questions and emergencies. Without a doubt the best experience we've ever had with a vet. Pretty bummed we don't live in the area to have them as our dogs forever doc but would HIGHLY recommend to anybody passing through or living in the area. read more

I have been to a couple different vets in the area. I have been going to WF since it is closer to me. The vet I have seen there is on the super cautious side which means usually more tests resulting in more money. The vet wouldn't fix my dog because I told her my dog was the only dog to live from her litter due to kidney issues. She suggested I go to Washington vet school to have her fixed. (I live in the country and feared my bitch would get attacked by wild animals while in heat.) I called Washington and they wanted $2000.00 dollars to fix my dog, so I found another vet in the area that did the procedure and my dog was fine. (For $189.00) so like I said super cautious. I have found for shots and simple medical procedures the clinic is fine. They do seem to be more pricy then the other vet I went to but the other vet is another 20 minutes away. They do free toe nail trim on dogs which is a plus and the place is clean. read more

We have been going to Whitefish Animal Hospital for 20 years. Dr. Jim has always been kind and pleasant, however, Dr. Jim is on road to retirement and is hardly ever in the Whitefish office. A few years ago we took our shepherd in for a distended stomach after a five minute exam the vet came in and told me we need to put him down! I was shocked and beyond upset. I asked if he was in pain? Since he was walking around the office wagging his tail and greeting everyone. The vet told me he wasn't in any pain but he would not last the ride home. Luckily, I did not take her advice. After I paid the astronomical bill, not only did he make the drive home we had almost three fun filled months hiking his favorite trails playing with his sister, and his favorite ball before he peacefully passed on his favorite bed at home. The reason why I am finally writing a review is because yesterday we took our 4 fur babies in for rabies vaccinations and health checks for an upcoming trip. The amount this clinic charges is unbelievable! They push you to get test upon tests and when I asked how much everything was going to be I was told by Yoko, oh they usually email you the bill and seemed so annoyed that I would be worried about home much I was going to be charged. I feel this vets main objective is to be profitable to the extent of taking advantage of peoples vulnerability during times of stress and worry over their beloved pets. I will be looking for another vet. I am fine driving into Kila or Kalispell to find a vet that values our patronage without gouging us financially! read more

Had to go to the vet for an annual check up for my cat. All I needed was them to do a check up so I could renew his prescription cat food. He is a high anxiety cat and wants nothing to do with the vet. The vet tech kept offering more services that didn't need to be done. I explained again that I was just there for the annual exam. It seemed to irritate him that I wasn't spending more money. He slammed the door twice while I was in the room. Then when I left after the appointment Diane at the front desk told me my total which was not what I expected. I asked for a breakdown of the balance due. She wouldn't tell me. I told her that I thought the annual checkup up was 40$ as I was informed when I made the appointment 3 days prior. She said "nothing is 40$ anymore hun" She said the total for the office visit was 76.33. I said ok then what is the rest of the balance for. She finally gave me a breakdown of the charges which is what I asked for in the beginning. Then she proceeded to tell me that I should take my business else where. Very snarky attitude. Not appreciated. Would not recommend Whitefish Animal hospital. Side note: the Vet her self was the nicest person there. Sad that they have such rude people working at the front desk. They are the ones that will ruin the vets clientele. I will take Diane's advice and take my self and my family's business elsewhere. read more

The absolutely best staff ever. Our Golden's love going there. They are the most caring animal hospital we have ever been to . We have been with them over 10 years, and they have always gone above,and beyond expectations! Thank you! read more

After recently moving to Whitefish with our two little dogs, one of whom had a growing cyst that needed some veterinary care and surgery removal, Whitefish Animal Hospital was recommended to us by a friend. Although we were a bit uneasy taking our little girl to a new vet after going to the same vet for ten years in LA, WAH's staff relieved those fears from our very first visit. Personable, friendly, and honest, we felt our pet was in the utmost care, and after several visits and eventually surgery, we feel like we made the right choice in veterinary care in our new home. Taking care of our little baby was really stressful to add on top of an interstate move. Thank you for making her feel better and easing our anxieties about taking her to a new vet. Also, the front desk staff at WAH are the best! read more

I have take my toy Aussie here a couple times now and I couldn't be more impressed. This has been the best vet experience that I have ever had. They have a wonderful staff that are all very attentive and go out of their way to follow up regarding care. Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy! read more

I had a chihuahua who started having seizures that didn't stop. Called them so I could bring her in to end her suffering. The person asked if She was a current client. When I answered no, she said I could come in the next day, 24 hours later. They DID NOT care one bit that she was suffering. At my horror that they would not see her that day, they gave me the name of a vet who will come to your home to help the dog leave this world. Please find a vet that actually has compassion for animals not just a money making machine. read more

We took our beloved dog buster here when he was having night terrors and hyperventilating in the night. The people who work here genuinely care about the pets they work with and want to help. Buster was diagnosed with liver cancer and had to be put down. The staff was very caring and gave us their condolences and were very generous with providing mementos to remember him by. R.I.P Buster read more

Do not take your pet there I posted on their former site which had some other not so good reviews but since they moved they have this site We took our dog there while on vacation as she was limping. They diagnosed torn all or sprain and gave her mess. She had a bad cut and bruise on her foot which was found at next vet where they took the time to really examine her. Very sloppy work and jeopardized by pet for weeks after read more

I love the new facility for the animal hospital. I was shocked to see the horrible review written by the other person and think it is completely unrepresentative of my experiences both at the new and prior locations. I rescued my dogs from the Humane Society three years ago and Jade in particular had different health issues. The staff was very accommodating and drilled down into her various issues in a timely manner. My appointment today was no different. read more

Been taking my 7yr old golden retriever here for 3 years now, ever since he had to have knee surgery after an accident. Dr Jim & his staff did a great job - my dog had a speedy & full recovery. I trust that they have a genuine concern for his (& my) well being; which is why I drive an hour each way, even for 'routine' check ups. The office is clean & well organized w friendly staff. read more

Came in on July 6th with my dad and brother to put down our 16 year old beagle Sammy. Whitefish Animal Hospital was very flexible with our appointment time and the staff were all so incredibly kind. Dr. Heather McEvoy did an awesome job of explaining the procedure to us and comforting us when Sammy was gone. Thank you so much for helping to make everything more bearable for us during this difficult time. read more

We've been bringing our dogs here for fifteen years. WAH has been through everything with us, thick and thin. All the vets are very caring and the staff is outstanding as well. Because we have multiple dogs, I frequently feel like they should have my name on a plaque on the wall in their new facility, because we've certainly financed a good piece of it. It was much needed, though, and their new grooming facility and expanded services are wonderful. Although I have never been to another vet in the area, WAH is hands down the best vet we've ever had (moved here from out of state). Yes, they do a lot of tests, I guess, but so many unseen problems have been identified for us over the years that I often ask for testing that they haven't suggested. I've become very test dependent, I guess, because you just never know. The dogs can mask their problems so well, that things can be past the treatable phase when it becomes obvious. My only wish is that they weren't sending their off hours cases to that emergency vet down valley. I've knocked off a star for that, pet peeve. read more

we love this animal hospital! the doctors are kind and helpful and so great with our dog. everyone who works there is sweet and so helpful. this is our first dog, so we've really needed extra loving care and this place has been so great! we definitely recommend! read more

Cannot say enough about this vet practice. They are really amazing. The staff is incredible - kind, compassionate, REAL, down-to-earth and honest. They love even the silliest of my four massive and massively needy dogs. Having worked in the vet world in Flathead Valley, I intimately know every vet practice here and with a pack of gorgeous pups at home, I have tried almost all of them in search of a vet that listens, cares AND has expertise. Some were nice, some were helpful, some were competent but none were all three and none were as reliable and respectable as Whitefish Animal Hospital. I feel heard. I feel respected.They don't want to rob me, they don't want to pat me on the head and tell me what I want to hear - they give solid, dependable vet advice and care. And aside from the vets (who are varied and great. I recommend Dr. Jim - he is humble, honest, & competent and is able to explain things to me in a way that I understand fully and puts me at ease), their supporting staff is really wonderful. In a practice that size there is bound to be a few folks that aren't great, but really, most of them are stellar at their jobs and so reassuring in all that they do. I recommend this vet practice all the time and always hear positive feedback from those referrals - so it's not just me! They are dedicated to constantly improving and evolving in their practice and care - that's amazing to me in the veterinary industry. It frustrates me to see a random sour review from folks out of state. I'm sorry that they didn't have a perfect experience there, but as a local I can say that out of 20 some vets in the Valley, they are the absolute best. read more
