Explore our full range of veterinary services below to learn how we can help your pet thrive.

Wellness & Preventive Care

Proactive veterinary care is the key to a long, healthy life. Our wellness and preventive services include comprehensive physical exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and routine diagnostics tailored to your pet’s age and lifestyle. Regular checkups allow us to detect issues early and help your pet stay active and well year-round.

Surgical Services

Our experienced veterinarians perform a wide variety of soft tissue surgeries in a fully equipped, sterile surgical suite. From routine spays and neuters to endoscopic procedures, we prioritize safety, comfort, and optimal outcomes for every patient.

Orthopedic Surgery & TPLO

When pets experience joint or ligament injuries, our team is here to help them get back on their feet. As a TPLO-certified veterinary hospital, we specialize in orthopedic surgery for dogs with cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears. We’ll guide you through the process — from diagnosis and surgery to recovery.

Pet Dentistry & Oral Health

Healthy teeth and gums are essential for your pet’s overall wellness. Our routine veterinary dental services include cleanings, digital dental X-rays, and treatment for periodontal disease. Regular dental exams help prevent pain, tooth loss, and systemic illness caused by oral infection.

Diagnostic & Therapeutic Services

Our in-house laboratory and imaging tools enable quick, accurate diagnoses. With advanced equipment for bloodwork, X-rays, and other diagnostics, we can identify health concerns early and tailor effective treatment plans for each patient.

Spaying & Neutering

Spaying or neutering your pet not only prevents unwanted litters but also contributes to a longer, healthier life. These routine surgeries help reduce the risk of certain diseases and undesirable behaviors, promoting lifelong wellness and balance.

Pet Cremation

We understand that losing a pet is one of life’s hardest moments. Through our partnership with Flathead Pet Cremation, we offer honest, dignified, and compassionate cremation services to help you honor your companion. 

Microchipping

A simple microchip can make all the difference if your pet ever becomes lost. Our quick, affordable microchipping service provides permanent identification that helps reunite pets with their families — even years later.

Pharmacy Services

For your convenience, we offer a fully stocked in-house pharmacy with trusted medications. Our knowledgeable team ensures your pet receives the correct products and dosage for safe, effective treatment.

Diet & Behavior Counseling

Your pet’s health is about more than just medical care — nutrition and behavior play key roles too. We provide personalized diet and behavior counseling to address issues like weight management, anxiety, and training challenges, helping your pet live their happiest, healthiest life.

Urgent Care

When your pet is sick or injured, prompt care makes all the difference. We provide urgent care for dogs and cats during regular hospital hours, including same-day appointments whenever possible. From sudden illness to minor injuries, our team acts quickly to diagnose and treat your pet with compassion and expertise.

Veterinary Endoscopy

When pets experience ongoing digestive issues or unexplained illness, getting clear answers quickly is essential. At Whitefish Animal Hospital, we offer veterinary endoscopy as an advanced, minimally invasive diagnostic tool to help identify internal concerns with less discomfort and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
