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.

Thank you SO much for being in town! Thank you for not thinking Baby Wild Bunnies were "exotic"! Both the Vet's Assistant and the Vet took the time to help us out, with advises and instructions, regarding our 2 Rescued Baby Wild Bunnies. They gave us 2 syringes, so we can try to nurse them back to life/health. Ended up purchasing KMR and a Nursing Kit. Had we not gone to y'all, who knows what could've happened to the 2 Baby Wild Bunnies! We recommend going here, instead of Fall River Vet for any and all of your Veterinary needs!

Thank God I listened to my gut instinct and took my baby to these wonderful people! Is there a fancy new building full of fancy equipment and fancy people? Nope. What I found was an old fashioned vet with an old fashioned love for animals whose instinct saved my dog's life. She and her assistant were gentle, kind, caring and went above and beyond to diagnose my doggo's health issue. Their patience with "King" was unmatched and I expected to pay double what I was actually billed. My best friend is like a brand new dog with a new lease on life and we owe it all to Doc Sandra and David. Thank you sooooo much for your love and compassion. God bless you both!

Love this veterinarian we were on vacation from Texas when our dog Jackie started acting weird. At 13 years old we got quite concerned. Called several Vets offices around Custer SD and could not get in. Doctor Wahlert looked at him and after an hour of in depth checkout we were on our way! Jacks fine and a bill 25% of what we would pay back home. Thank you Doctor and David.

My moms dog was always afraid to go into a vet office. She would just shake, when we went into them for the first visit she was great. They were gentle and calm with her. It was amazing. It was a blessing for both the dog and my mother.

Highly DO NOT recommend this Veterinary clinic. Took my dog in for an exam because she was coughing. They took her temperature, and listened to her heart (misdiagnosing her), and this is what was included in their $57.00 exam. Suggested every worst possibility there was (cancer, tumor, time for heaven). Left with no answers, and felt worse than when I walked in. Would not refund the outrageous price for the “exam”! Took her to Fall River and they found a double ear infection, and a very bad infection on her gums. Will NOT be back.
