At GVH we believe in top quality care and utilize state of the art equipment,and medications to ensure your pet is receiving the best care in the valley. We have moved to our new location at 1635 Reeves Road East. The new location offers more exam rooms, a more functional treatment area and a state of the art surgical suite, as well as digital radiography and, of course, more parking. This move allows us to provide even better care for your pet.

Services:

Wellness exams and preventative care:
We recommend a complete physical exam every 6 months. Lots of changes can occur that are not easily detected by your pets outward appearance, especially as your pet gets older. Preventative health care recommendations are made based on examination findings and your pets individual needs and lifestyle, which you help us determine. This may include blood, urine or fecal tests, vaccinations, dietary or exercise advice and the lifestyle changes.

Senior Care:
Older patients commonly experience the same problems that older humans do, including heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, chronic renal insufficiency, dental problems, hearing and vision loss,etc. Many of these conditions can be treated to extend and improve your older pet's quality of life.

Dental Care:
Healthy teeth play a major role in the well being of your pet. Bad breath may be a sign of dental disease. Gingivitis, tartar and periodontal disease can release bacteria into the bloodstream which
can stress internal organs, and lead to their disease. Starting with your pet's first exam our doctors will check your pets mouth for any signs of discomfort or disease Your doctor will set up an individualized plan for your pets healthy teeth and mouth.

Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is known to have good therapeutic effects in a wide variety of animal diseases. Although pain moderation is the more common use in veterinary medicine, it has much wider applications. It is generally considered to be beneficial for such conditions as seizures, allergies and incontinence as well as many others. Consult your pets veterinarian regarding specifics.

Ultrasound:
We offer in house ultrasound of the abdomen to evaluate internal organs. This can help us diagnose your pets medical condition without the trauma of surgery.

General surgery:
Our veterinarians are trained in state of the art surgical techniques should your pet require a surgical procedure. We offer a full range of soft tissue surgeries from routine spays and neuters to more advanced procedures including cystotomy (bladder), abdominal exploratory, mass removal and c-sections, among others. Our surgeries are performed in a state of the art sterile surgery suite. Pain management is very important to us and we utilize protocols established by a board certified veterinary anesthesiologist. All patients are prepped for surgery and an IV catheter is placed and fluids administered during the procedure.

Laboratory:
On site laboratory allows us to perform diagnostic lab testing to help determine the best treatment plan for your pets medical condition. Should more advanced testing be needed, we are connected to multiple outside labs including Montana State University and nationally with Antech and the University of Texas.

Nutritional counseling:
Whether your pet is fighting a weight problem or requires a special diet in conjunction with health care management and treatment, our staff will counsel you on the many nutritional options that are available to pet owners.

Chemotherapy:
When cancer is diagnosed in a pet the course of action is suddenly unfamiliar and scary and owners are often unsure of the next step to take. Chemotherapy options are available for many forms of cancer.

Referral / Specialists:
We offer in house Montana's only small animal residency trained surgeon, as well as an internal medicine specialist. Consults can also be arranged with veterinary anesthesiologists and radiologists.

Comment/Review

T.W. Great location, friendly staff, great Doctors. Took my senior male cat there several times. . The cat was happy there. Wow.

M.L. I couldn’t recommend Gallatin Vet Hospital more. I have a 1 year old Rottweiler and they treat him like their own. Incredibly knowledgeable and quick to respond, 10/10. He’s happy and healthy thanks the the team.

M.P. Excellent! The entire staff was professional, friendly, thorough, and loving to my pup! She had to have multiple tests/vaccinations, so she was pretty anxious. Dr. Baer and Justine were wonderful! They were patient and kind, while giving my pup lots of encouragement and treats. Grateful to have such compassionate care for my fur baby!

J.F. Although I do wish the circumstances had been different. I had the opportunity to receive help from several of the doctors. Whether it was getting my dog vaccinated or taking care of her through her cancer. They were a tremendous help and caring through everything. Great help from the front desk to vet techs and the doctors.. Thanks,. Josh.

T.G. These are genuinely caring and wonderful people. My large dog is constantly hurting himself or picking up the latest bug going around. The staff is always detailed in their explanations and in terms I can understand. They always follow up to see how my pups are doing after visits that required X-rays or other procedures. For the most part they’ve been able to handle much of my pups issues in house but have a network of specialist they send me to when it’s needed. Their wellness program saves me money and their online appointment system is so convenient. I would highly recommend them and their wellness program.

J.H. The most dedicated vet care I’ve ever received! Thank you Dr. Bear and team for your help with both of my dogs! Everyone is happy and healthy thanks to you all!

C.T. Cannot say enough good things about the team at Gallatin. We've lived all over the country in the 7 years we've had our Great Dane and seen many many vets, and this is far and away the best experience we've ever had. Every single person we interacted with was warm, kind, and best of all PATIENT with both me and my odd-ball dog. They took the time to actually listen to me, and to explain everything without putting pressure on me to say yes to any certain treatment. They let me bring his obnoxiously large bed in so he'd be comfortable before and after his procedure, communicated clearly and frequently, and loved on him tremendously. The office is so calm and spacious, not jam-packed with stressed out people and pets like so many other vet offices. And a huge sign of a great vet practice-- my dog was back to his normal self so much faster than I anticipated after his procedure. His emotional and physical well-being was clearly just as much a priority to them as it is to me. Huge thanks to everybody there!

J.R. We brought our puppy in for a broken leg. They operated the next morning. It's been six weeks now and he is all healed up and back to bouncing around. Such a wonderful staff, and they worked with our financial situation. Couldn't be happier. Sending ❤ from MN.
