The full answer
No single vet in Butte is objectively the best. Which one suits you depends on your animal, your budget and whether you need urgent care. Here's what current Yelp listings show. Review counts are very small, so read the ratings loosely.
- Highlands Veterinary Hospital, 840 S Montana St: 3.3 stars from 12 reviews. One reviewer called it the best vet office in town after two urgent-care visits.
- Cornelius R L Vet, 6000 Harrison Ave: 5.0 stars, but from only 2 reviews. One reviewer called it the best vet in Butte and said the staff calls afterward to check on pets.
- VCA Amherst Animal Hospital, 2330 Amherst Ave: about 3.5–3.7 stars from 11–12 reviews.
- Butte Veterinary Center, 3302 Monroe Ave: about 3.0–3.7 stars from 2–3 reviews. One long-time client praised the staff's kindness during a pet's euthanasia.
- Animal Medical Center: 5.0 stars from 2 reviews, which mention fair prices and good care.
- St. Francis Veterinary Hospital and Carl McQueary, DVM (3200 Blacktail Loop) are also in town.
To choose:
- Look at Google reviews too, since they usually have many more reviews than Yelp.
- Ask local friends or a Butte community Facebook group who they use.
- Call to ask whether they're taking new patients, what they charge for an exam, and how they handle after-hours emergencies.
- If you have horses or livestock, ask whether they treat large animals, because not every clinic does.
If you tell me what kind of animal you have and what you need, I can help narrow it down.
