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!

I could not believe the low prices she charges but I think to her it's more about keeping the profession pure and all about the pets.

Being an older dog we hesitated to sedate him. While in Spearfish we contacted Dr Holcomb, DVM and were very pleased. She diagnosed his "cyst" as a large skin tag, performed a local and removed it with a few stitches and a follow up visit (med included) Less than $150. (Remember prices will vary with rising costs). We used her several times during our stay here in Spearfish and had routine yearly shots done for both dogs. Prices were so extremely reasonable I had to question if being charged for one dog or two. Aside from pricing she is a wonderful, no nonsense matter of fact Vet with expert knowledge and common sense approach to pet care. HIGHLY recommend her and would come back in a heartbeat.
