    Karen, Amanda and crew at Calm animal care have top notch bedside manner and go the extra mile…read moreevery time. These folks are animal lovers and that shows in the care they take in their work. Great follow up and clear instruction on treatment. The only downside is the long drive to get there from Bigfork but it's well worth the trip. Highly recommended

    I began working with Dr. Rachel at Calm Vet about 9 months ago, initially bringing in my…read more6-month-old dog. At that time, Dr. Rachel diagnosed him as underweight and suffering from degenerative myelopathy, hip dysplasia, and arthritis. This felt incredibly alarming--especially for such a young pup. I consulted the breeder immediately, who was stunned and advised me to get a second opinion. According to established veterinary consensus and research (e.g., OFA guidelines and DM testing protocol), conditions like hip dysplasia and degenerative myelopathy are not typically confirmed in dogs under 2 years of age due to skeletal development timelines. I was also strongly encouraged to give him a weight-gain injection--likely B12 or vitamin complex additives--which I declined. Instead, I began supplementing his meals with peanut butter, veggies, and hard-boiled eggs, and he quickly gained healthy weight without any medication or intervention. Next, I brought in my 6-year-old lab for a yeast infection and a limp in his hind leg. After paying over $600, I was told he needed surgery. I followed her instructions for rest, and one week later, he was walking and running just fine without surgery, rehab, or any invasive treatment. It was clearly a soft tissue injury that resolved on its own. In hindsight, this too felt like a clear misdiagnosis--one that could've led to unnecessary surgery if I had blindly followed the advice given. Another concerning moment came when I said the younger dog would miss our long walks due to his brother's rest period, and Dr. Rachel offered an anti-anxiety prescription for my puppy. That felt like an unnecessary escalation, especially for a healthy, social pup reacting normally to changes in routine. The final straw came recently when my lab got another small yeast patch. I requested the same antibiotic that had worked before, but Dr. Rachel denied the Chewy order, reportedly leaving me a voicemail I never received. I followed up repeatedly. Eventually, I was told to just pick up an over-the-counter antibiotic spray. I already had some from the last round, but it wasn't helping, so I sent a photo. The assistant then said he must come in--and sent a nearly $400 estimate just to get medication. This included an exam, skin sample, bloodwork, and meds--with no option to skip parts of the bill to get him the relief he needed. It has become clear to me that this clinic is more interested in profit than in pets. There is a consistent pattern of misdiagnosis, over-diagnosing, over-medicating, and recommending invasive or costly treatments that often prove unnecessary. It no longer feels like my pets are being treated with individualized care--it feels like a business model built on fear and upselling. I am going elsewhere. After multiple experiences of premature diagnoses, excessive costs, and a lack of collaborative dialogue, I no longer trust this clinic to put my animals' well-being first. I want a vet who listens, respects owners' insights, and practices medicine that's grounded, humane, and not profit-driven.

    We were traveling thru Whitefish when our little Doxie developed a sickness. I called the office…read moreand 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 +++++

    We are so grateful to Dr. Joanie, vet tech Martha and the other WAH staff for their compassion and…read morecare 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
