Love Monte! Best down to earth vet in Utah. He isn't all about the money. If you do not like someone who is straight up and will tell you like it is, he isn't right for you. Good or bad, he will be 💯 straight up. I am so grateful for their help.

Your pet deserves better So, I met Monty when he prescribed Meloxicam for my old dog with arthritis. Worked great, and I was glad to have (I thought) a good vet locally. I went back to get help with a recurring infection the same dog was suffering from, and Monty's proposed solution was to CUT OF HIS TAIL, to help keep him clean. No way I'm doing that to my 14 year old dog. We tried a few other options I'd asked about, and Monty seemed open to working with me, and was friendly enough. After about the 2nd treatment attempt, Monty stopped answering my phone calls, and eventually had his daughter (works in the office with his wife) tell me he wasn't comfortable treating the dog, and recommended I consult another vet, which I gladly did. Other vet diagnosed and solved the problem immediately, and my dog is fine, and got to keep his tail. Regardless, it was good to have a local vet, and I didn't want to give up on Monty, so I went back for a refill of the Meloxicam several months later. I asked Monty's wife if we could refill the prescription at another pharmacy, as opposed to Chewy who was very expensive by comparison. Monty came busting out of a room down the hall yelling "what are you trying to nickle and dime me for?!" I'm still not sure what difference it makes to him where I get a prescription filled, but I didn't get a chance to ask, as he kept yelling "I know who you are, you're a scammer!" "The other vet wouldn't take you back?" I explained what the other vet did to solve the problem, and that the dog was doing great, and he yelled back "then why are you here?" Explained that I didn't realize there was any bad blood between us, that I appreciated having a local vet for things like this, and I didn't know why he was so mad, to which he replied "well I'm not filling it, get out of here!" I can't imagine what it must be like to be his wife or daughter and have to live with Monty. At least I had the option of not doing business with this unbalanced hack. Do your pets a favor, and drive a little out of the way to find a competent and mentally stable vet.

They were awesome. Able to get us in on short notice for a problem with our cats eye. The vet was very friendly and worked with our cat when he didn't want to come out of the carrier. Would definitely recommend

** Update: Thank you for helping me keep Chloe healthy, she is almost one now! I was desperately looking for a vet to see my tiny puppy and they told me I could go right away, no waiting. The Vet is very nice, and makes you feel welcome. My little Chloe got well and we'll keep going there even if I have to drive 25 miles, yes, 25 miles and there are several places closer but I'll keep taking my pets there.

I chose to take my 6 month old Boxer here because the breeder used him to dock his tail and remove dew claws. We went in for his Rabies vaccine. I asked about sides effects to watch for. The response I got from the vet was " Like him being dead?". What medical professional would make this this kind of comment?? That was the 1st of many uncalled for remarks. He and I did not agree on the reasons for neutering a puppy. His being to stop behaviors, mine being to prevent pregnancy. He thinks castration is the only way to go, I'm for vasectomy to keep natural hormones in place. In the end he told me to never come back to his office. He walked off saying he had REAL work to do. Like my Boxer was of no importance. Never will I recommend anyone to him.
