How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ashley Creek Animal Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

We've taken our cat here for years and they are amazing with her, she is epileptic so she needs extra care and they go above and beyond. We just had to put our dog down and they were caring, compassionate and took care of everything for us. I would recommend anyone to take there pet here and be confident that they are in good caring hands.

We took our doberman puppy to see Dr. Lambert at Ashley Creek to get her ears cropped on April 4, 2022. We're from Alberta and cosmetic procedures like that are no longer allowed, so we made the drive into Kalispell to get it done. Dr. Lambert and the team at Ashley Creek were so wonderful, getting our pup in first thing in the morning. There was a storm rolling through and they knew we had a long drive ahead, so they prioritized our pup and she was ready for a pick up at 11am. She came out of surgery great and even managed to con a couple meatballs out of one of the techs as soon as she was able to have a bite to eat. She slept the entire way back to Alberta and was back to her normal self the following day. Her recovery was flawless and we used to a local vet to remove the stitches a few weeks later. The hardest part of this entire procedure was keeping her semi-calm for a few days following the surgery. We've been posting for a couple weeks now and her ears are already standing on their own. Dr. Lambert did an absolutely amazing job, the crop suits our pup just beautifully and the recovery was a breeze. Highly recommend this clinic and will be returning with any future doberman pups we have.

I had the unfortunate experience to be forced to say "goodbye" to our beloved17 1/2 yr old black cat named "Snowball". No matter the circumstances or how many beloved pets my husband & I have had to let t go to their final resting place, this is so very painful. Everyone at Ashley Creek treated me & Snowball with the greatest compassion. A beautiful comfort room for us and all the time I needed to say goodbye. Snowball's ashes will be returned to us to bury on our property alongside her siblings who've gone before. Rates were more than reasonable. Thank you everyone at Ashley Creek.

If we could give Dr. Lambert, Susan & Kay at Ashley Creek 6 stars we would. We brought our two 15-year-old cats to them when another clinic had tried to send the girl cat home after she was circling in her cage all day. They did not contact us to ask if this was unusual behavior, they just let it happen and sent her home with us. We demanded they take another look, and FINALLY determined she was circling from a stroke and possible brain damage, which they left untreated all day. Dr. Jessup from Ashley Creek was the weekend veterinarian at the Flathead Pet Emergency Clinic (that place is another gift from God to our community) and she and the staff there did everything humanly possible to treat our girl. When she finally passed, we immediately transferred her brother to Ashley Creek's care, and they nursed him through the last three very difficult months of his life. Their concern and advice was ALWAYS the same as ours: Every recommendation was based on what would provide the best quality of life and least amount of pain for our boy. When we finally found out last night he was not going to get better for a third time since Christmas, they were so compassionate in helping us to send him quietly, respectfully, and peacefully to be with his sister. Ashley Clinic is the best animal clinic we have ever experienced in decades of pet ownership. From Kay at the front desk who remembers you by name, to the wonderful nurses who have incredible passion for the animals that clearly shows as they transfer pets and take notes with proactive listening skills, to Dr. Lambert's care, conversations with easy to understand explanations, detailed choices that always focused on our cat's care and comfort. God bless every member of the Ashley Creek Animal Clinic staff, and their wonderful caring crematory service just a few steps from the clinic. If you want to know what the number one animal clinic regular hour animal clinic in the Flathead...take your cherished pets to Ashley Creek.

Dr. Lambert and team are THE BEST! Great service and very thorough! It's clear they love animals and care deeply for their well-being. Clean facilities, too! We will keep making the drive from Portland, OR to continue to have our pets seen here. Highly recommend Ashley Creek Animal Clinic.
