I have been coming here since 2013. Dr. Bracken is a great person he really cares for your pets health. The staff (Cheri and Shara and the rest of the staff) are very caring. Cheri goes above and beyond to help. I have called her many times and she has given me great advice to help all my pets. She is a great asset to the business. I lost my 22 year old chihuahua a year ago do to a heart attack. The whole staff was very compassionate to my loss.

Bracken Moe DVM - Smokey - Veterinarians Near Me - Saint George, Utah

We found a "rescue dog" and were having a hard time finding a local vet, until I called Dr. Bracken's. Cheri was very helpful in scheduling and getting us right in, explained everything clearly for pre & post op. Our pooch is now home and healing like a champ! As an added bonus, their prices are very reasonable. read more

Old school vet, who is to the point. I loved it. And my dog has been fine! Thank you!

Dr Braken and his staff are amazing with my two schnauzers. Regular checkups keep them healthy and happy. He recommended changing one of my dog's diet to a food that reduces urinary tract troubles. Since then my puppy has been much happier and more comfortable. Highly recommended. read more

I went in to get my cats small glands done, the lady there did a great job my cat was so so scared and she let her do it. Wonderful company. They even let me borrow a pet carrier to bring her in. Very nice people and reasonably priced. I also get my animax ointment for my German Shepard rash on his tummy area from them. Good people. read more

Moe Bracken is a fantastic Veterinarian. He also does Livestock and me being a farm boy know how animals get traumatized with being captured for veterinarian care. His care with our animals has always been fantastic. When i was a kid we had a cow die of shock when we had the horns removed. It happens. The the people that made a pig a pet, and then didn't have it captured and ready for medical care, don't blame Moe Bracken. I hope you at least got to eat Wilbur. Totally unfair to Moe to blame him for having to capture a big frightened pig that was getting his tusks removed. Best Veterinarian in town, livestock, or pets. read more

Great staff, kind, thorough and affordable. My pup was throwing up & they fit us in a cancellation, did on the spot testing & I feel confident of their diagnosis. Super grateful for their heart and professionalism. Super super grateful to their front desk staff for listening to me & calling me in. read more

Dr. Bracken absolutely killed my Wilbur and this is how he did it. Jeremy said he was brutal with Wilbur, he completely traumatized Wilbur and didn't stop chasing him and torturing him. He had an unskilled, unknowing person rope Wilbur's mouth and literally sit on him to restrain him. He said pigs are more sensitive to sedatives and you'd have to be more careful...so why wasn't he? My neighbor asked if my pig was dying when he heard Wilbur crying that night because of the way Dr. Bracken treated him. I'm thinking that any vet that knows this would be extremely careful especially when he saw how Wilbur responded to his treatment. Why didn't he stop and do something different? Why when I called him couldn't he have told me this, given me some sort of treatment for him? I cannot believe he took an oath to care for anything that lives and breathes. He doesn't care on bit about the animal, only the money! He should have brought an assistant, someone who knew what they were doing first and foremost then he should have stopped when he saw the absolute horror Wilbur displayed and done something different. He didn't try to reduce Wilbur's stress at all, he caused it. Wilbur was already stressed when he did something to shift his tusk so his mouth couldn't close all the way and he couldn't eat. Dr. Bracken knew the story, by the time he had time to come to Wilbur it had been three days since Wilbur would have been able to eat so he was already not well in his present state then to have my son who happened to be visiting (otherwise it would have been my 70 year old mother home with him alone) literally hog tie my pig who never in his life had ever experienced anything but gentleness. He got tucked in on cold nights with blankets, his house and his front porch were carpeted, he had his own pool and a 20 x 20 ft shade sail over his yard, how would this man think Wilbur wasn't traumatized by the treatment he received? My son said Wilbur was SCREAMING, SQUEALING and franticlly kicking, bucking, pounding his head....he had never heard or experienced anything so pathetic in his life. My son said, "Mom, I never want to do ANYTHING like that again!" I called Dr. Bracken two days later and told him that Wilbur was bleeding from his mouth, he was soaking his mouth in his water trough and he's still not eating. He said, I don't think I cut his mouth when I cut his teeth... to call him Monday if he wasn't any better After he got his $260 he didn't seem at all concerned to me. This is what the Vet journals say about What he did to my poor Wilbur. Capturing and restraining an injured or ill animal is extremely stressful, and the rehabilitator's (or Vet's) primary goal is to reduce stress by minimizing pain and distress. Stress is the body's reaction to abnormal states (e.g. infection, extreme temperature, injury, fear) that disturb the normal physiological equilibrium. Fear, fright or rage activates the hypothalamus, causing massive discharge of the sympathetic nervous system to prepare the body for vigorous muscle activity. University of Alaska Fairbanks Stress can result in capture myopathy, a disease complex associated with capture or handling of any wild species. Capture myopathy occurs when an animal cannot cool itself; the key feature of capture myopathy is hyperthermia (an increase in body temperature). Factors involved in capture myopathy include: Drugs used for restraint (particularly xylazine) cause an increase in body temperature. For this reason, these drugs must be reversed after use. Muscle Pump: muscles exert a pumping action as an animal moves and this aids blood flow. When normal movement is taking place 15% of the total blood volume is in the muscles. In a drugged animal, 25% will pool in the muscles causing a drop in blood pressure. Lactic acid builds up and cooling is reduced. Fear: the single most important factor in capture myopathy. Environmental temperature There are four categories of capture myopathy: peracute, acute, subacute and chronic. Peracute capture myopathy: death may occur in a matter of minutes due to low blood pH, acidosis, potassium release from damaged muscles and heart failure. There are few post-mortem signs. Acute capture myopathy: the animal lingers before it dies. Muscle rupture may occur and the animal, if able to stand, will be ataxic. The condition could be confused with enzootic ataxia. Death occurs in 24 - 48 hrs. Sub-acute capture myopathy: acidosis causes muscle and kidney damage. Urine may be a dark brown colour. Recumbent animals often have their necks twisted back. Death follows within a few days. Chronic capture myopathy: animals may survive several days or months but will often die suddenly from a heart attack. Treatment: prevention is the only treatment for this condition. Once the condition starts it is always fatal. Capture Myopathy read more

Even though my family is very close friends with Moe Bracken, I would drive half way around the world just so my animals could get the best care out there and Moe is that vet. He has a compassion for animals that I have not seen in any other vet in Nevada or in the state of Texas or New Mexico where I have previously lived, but I will drive to Utah just so my animals get the best care they need and deserve. I do rank Moe Bracken up there with the absolute best vet of all time. read more
