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.
Compare prescription pricing

TAKE YOUR PETS LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!! Figured I would update my review, since my previous review was from back when there was a veterinarian at this facility who cared and wasn't too lazy to do his job. Last time I was there, the same scenario played out. Told me to euthanize my kitty, Hugo who just needed extra help... he's happy and healthy now, no thanks to harmer. Today, 7/27/23 I brought in a stray who had a wound on one of his front legs. I brought him in to be bandaged, whatever he needed for his arm. My plan was to take him home. Harmer is great when it comes to manipulation, almost had me convinced that this kitty, with an arm wound needed to be euthanized. What his list of reasons boiled down to was "I'm too lazy to really care" He said he is too wild to treat, even after sedation. Yeah, I get it, cats, especially stray cats, don't like the vet; But it's not like in any scenario he was going to just sit there and let them mess with a wound that hurts him, in a new, scary place, surrounded by people he doesn't know. He didn't even bother to bandage him, and when he brought him in, all but chucked this poor, sedated kitty on the ground towards me.... I picked him up and he snuggled into my arms.... he didn't fight me. The plan was, to sedate him, he'd fall asleep, and harmer would give him the final shot to send him on. This kitty wanted to live. He refused to fall asleep, curled in my arms... then some lady thinks this is the perfect time to come talk down to me about some outstanding bill I have. Could have called me at any point, but no, let's choose when I'm a sobbing mess, holding a kitty that they want to euthanize. Long story short, the kitty, I've named Phillip, is at home with me, bandaged up, and taking a snooze by my side. I will never go back to him, and I urge others to do the same. I've heard plenty of horror stories about harmer, but this was the final straw for me. Call Carbon and Emery County Vet instead.

I am so happy Dr. Harmer is back! He diagnosed my dog and got him the medication he needed to fix his problem quickly. We were told by other vets nothing was wrong, but I knew my dog was not ok. I'm so happy to have my dog back to normal!

I've had great experiences with this office. I bring my animals down here for major surgeries, all my pets have been spayed/neutered here, and all my pets have had dental extractions done here. I keep coming back because it's one of the few vets that's still reasonably priced in the whole state. I know my animals are in good hands, and I'm not killing my finances to keep them in good health. I travel across the state just to bring them here and I have zero regrets. The office is always able to get my animals in within a few days or less in major instances, and they've always been friendly to me.

Would not recommend sending your pets to Dr. Harmer. My family and I have given him multiple chances - none of us have been impressed whatsoever. Our senior dog a few years ago began having kidney troubles - Dr. Harmer basically told us that there was nothing we could do except put her down. I asked for a second opinion from Dr. Thayn, he got her set up on some specialty food and sent us on our way. She ended up living for another year and a half. Funny how when you do your job, things work out the best for your pets. The last straw for us was when I called on behalf of an emergency with our cat last week. We were bluntly told that they had no openings until July 10th, no exceptions. Emergencies happen, make a better effort to assist those that need help. Called Emery Animal Health and were in a room within a matter of minutes of arriving.

It's busy keep your appointment cause you might not get another one right away. They are very good with animals I only take my pets here.
