Glacier Animal Hospital, (406) 571-1019
- It's a full-service veterinary clinic in Columbia Falls, Montana providing medical, surgical, dental, and preventive care for companion animals (dogs, cats) and some exotic/avian patients.
- It has 29 Faves from neighbors in Columbia Falls on Nextdoor. One longtime pet owner named Dr. Mark Lawson there and wrote that they'd "never met a vet of this quality."
- It's also at the top of Yelp's list for the area.
Other options on Yelp's list for Columbia Falls: Grizzly Moon Mobile Animal Service Hospital, Ponderosa Veterinary Hospital, ... Whitefish Animal Hospital. Grizzly Moon is a mobile service, so it could suit you if getting your pet to a clinic is hard.
How to choose:
- Check recent Google and Yelp reviews, since staff and quality can change.
- Call to ask whether they're taking new patients and how long you'd wait for an appointment.
- Make sure they treat your kind of animal. That matters especially for exotics or livestock.
- Ask how they handle emergencies and after-hours care.
