Dental Care

Healthy teeth play a major role in the well being of your pet. Bad breath may be a sign of dental disease. Gingivitis, tartar and periodontal disease can release bacteria into the bloodstream which can stress internal organs, and lead to systemic disease. Starting with your pet's first exam our doctors will check your pet's mouth for any signs of discomfort or disease. Your doctor will set up an individualized plan for your pet's healthy teeth and mouth.



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.
