Central Dakota Animal Clinic

I adopted my boarder collie there. Staff was wonderful. Spunky is my new roommate. He's adorable 😍

Best vet I've found so far for my dogs. They have been really great. Got Athena fixed and all Shiloh's first shots there. I moved and they still mail me reminders for their vaccine reminders. ❤️🐾❤️

While on a SD pheasant hunt, my dog put a 3 inch long gash on his belly from a barbed wire fence. CDAC answered the call on a Sunday afternoon and were willing to open outside their normal hours. I arrived and were welcomed into the clinic. I left 35 minutes later with a dog and 9 staples to close the wound. I would highly recommend this clinic for you hunting dog.

Called this clinic to inquire about cremation services for my 14 year old dog that passed away unexpectedly while I was out of town at my grandma's funeral. My husband had to call me in the middle of the night to tell me. Talk about a double whammy of grief. I was hoping this clinic would offer cremation services; I have not been a client here as I live closer to Lake Andes but in the past I knew they offered a far more comprehensive line of services so I figured if any clinic in Platte did cremation, they would be the ones who would. I regret even contacting this place. The receptionist who answered the phone had a very unpleasant manner of speaking with me in general. Sounded annoyed that I was calling her and asking about this service. Rudely asking for details, in a annoyed tone of voice- her first question was worded something to the effects of "so what exactly is going on? What died?" Even though I am certain I led the call with "my dog passed away last night". It's not a dead houseplant, lady, this is a member of the family of 14 years, let's show a little sensitivity. I've waited several days before posting this review to make sure I wasn't just reacting due to being emotional the day I called, but more than 5 days later I am still quite upset by the way I was treated so here we are. Turns out they don't do cremation themselves, but they can provide transportation to the clinic in Plankinton that does cremation. Which is fine, but she just sounded so callous and short with me as she provided me with that information, like I was asking about having a wart removed from a horse's butt instead of grieving the loss of a beloved dog. And she was unable to even tell me what day I would be able to drop off the body because apparently it's only a weekly delivery to Plankinton, which she told me after a series of exasperated sighs. All things that would have been fine otherwise, if they had been delivered without the snarky attitude. Based on the rude and uncaring manner of the woman who answered the phone, I will not be taking my dog there for cremation nor will I ever patronize them in the future. I decided to go out of my way to the Wagner clinic which is further from my home but they have kind employees that treat people - even those who aren't regular clients- with kindness and care. Only reason I am giving 2 stars to this clinic is because I know they offer a lot of services many other small town vets don't offer & i am sure the doctors and other staff are fine, but moving forward I will be sure to find literally anywhere else to bring my 5 dogs if they need some type of specialist services. A place that employs a receptionist who can't be kind to a caller grieving the loss of a pet doesn't deserve to get my business.

This has been absolutely the best experience I have had taking my dogs to a vet. They treated my dog and myself with such kindness.
