Health Maintenance Care for each stage of your pet's life is essential to a full, healthy life.  Our Lifestages Care services include:

Wellness exams and Preventative care:
We recommend a complete physical exam every 6 months. Lots of changes can occur that are not easily detected by your pet's outward appearance, especially as your pet ages. Preventative health care recommendations are made based on examination findings and your pet's individual needs and lifestyle. This may include blood, urine or fecal tests, vaccinations, dietary or exercise advice and lifestyle changes.





GVH News

Recently, a dog named Buddy came to us by way of the Butte Animal Shelter. During a trip back to Arizona, Buddy became separated from his owner. To make matters worse, the owner totaled his truck after looking for Buddy for a day and a half around Dillon. A month after his owner had returned to Arizona, Buddy was found by Butte Animal Shelter, he had survived in the wild with a severe foot injury and was facing amputation. The staff at Butte Animal Shelter contacted Dr. Mark Albrecht here at Gallatin Vet and Dr. Albrecht was able to provide remarkable care that saved Buddy's foot. You can see how GVH saved his Buddy's foot and helped reunite this remarkable pet with his owner--Watch the story about Buddy at the KTVM website.

Please note that we are currently seeking donations from the public for Buddy's care which came to many thousands of dollars and involved many caring people throughout southwest Montana. We hope you will take a moment to consider this request. Call (406) 587-4458 if you can help.
