Dr Whaddup and his crew are beyond reproach, the care they provide for animals is exceptional in every way.

These guys are great! Everyone on the staff wonderful. My GSD had a lump on his tail. They got him in right away, without outrageous exam fees. They helped me keep costs down while giving my boy the proper medication and we were able to avoid surgery to remove the lump. I definitely recommend Mountain River Veterinary Hospital. The vet techs are incredible, the vets are thorough and explain everything clearly. All my animals will be treated here.

We had excellent care here at Mountain River, they went above and beyond for our girl who ended up having a bit more going on then we thought they kept her for emergency surgery and a 3 day stay after and she was in the absolute best hands! Thank you Dr Bell and staff for taking care of our girl1000× recommend

We called at 8 am regarding our dog and they were able to get us in at 11 the same day. They listened to our concerns & validated them which was nice since it is an issue with her eyes. They also listened to us about her anxiety and were able to give her medication to help! They also listened to us about her other meds and got us one that will hopefully help. They were reasonably priced as well which was an added bonus! We will definitely be back.

I can’t recommend Dr. Bell enough. We dealt with SO many vets when it came to our dog’s health issues and had so many negative experiences, but Dr. Bell went up and beyond for us and made us feel like we were getting the best care for our dog. I’m so grateful to her and will never forget her!

Do not recommend this office if your pet is suffering. I took my standard Poodle here multiple times for a severe ear infection. They NEVER did a culture, never tested to see what the actual problem was. Just charged me lots of money to put him to sleep to "clean it out" and then gave us random antibiotics that would only help for a couple days and then he was worse again. After 3 visits with them where I had spent sooo much money and the only thing they did was look in his ear and prescribe another antibiotic I decided to call them and see if they could prescribe something for pain and an antibiotic without an appointment because I could not afford to keep coming in and getting the charge for the visit. The lady called me back after talking to the doctor and told me that the doctor will not prescribe any more antibiotics and the only option is surgery to remove his ear canal. I advised them I could not afford that at this time and begged them to prescribe me something for his pain until I could and they refused. And they NEVER EVER treated his pain at all from the start. I found another vet immediately, this vet prescribed pain medication immediately as well as an antibiotic an anti yeast and a ear wash for 2 weeks to bring the inflammation so he could get a good look at it. 2 weeks later we were in his office where they kept my dog OVER NIGHT, put him to sleep, cleaned the ear, SWABBED the ear and determined the infection was pseudomonas. They prescribed Zenequin and Baytril as well as gabapentin to keep him out of pain. That entire visit plus his medications (expensive medications at that) was $305. I was paying over $150 each time the vet lifted my dogs ear and prescribed an antibiotic at this office. And the best news of all!? My dog is infection free! And his ear wasn't removed! I will forever be so proud of myself for getting a second opinion and not letting this vet remove my dogs ear drum. The biggest reason I won't recommend them though is that when my dog was suffering and in IMMENSE pain (I'm talking he screamed and shook his head at least 14 hours a day) they didn't care at all, meanwhile our vet now was prescribing him everything he could to get him out of pain and comfortable his first day in his office. Please please please always get a second opinion and don't let an office treat you this way.

This is the cheapest vet in the area for a reason. My 2 dead cats say take your business elsewhere!

Biggest waste of time. My dog had been crushed by a ranger and somehow made it out without any broken bones. Brought her in to check her out because she had some swelling in her abdomen, began to shake and her gums were snow white.The vet was going in an out of other walk-in appointments and didn't even TOUCH HER until I requested for him to do an examination since I was paying for one. He did a quick lookover, said she looked fine and that was it. He didn't really believe me at all.He recommended a blood test and didn't really do anything after that. Charged me 125 for a whole bunch of non-answers and when I told the front desk my frustrations they said he had so many walk-ins today. So what? Don't have walk-in appointments if you can't provide for your clients or are understaffed.The vet tech was great, but other than that it was the biggest waste of my life and I hope my dog doesn't actually have anything hidden that is wrong. I will not be coming back.

My husband has had good care for his dog. They’ve worked really hard to find a diagnosis which we appreciate and they continue to treat him and make him comfortable. We were able to adopt a cat that they saved as well. I like that kind of heart. However at the time of adoption we were told that any more procedures for his current condition would be free of charge. We took him back in a few weeks later for more work. We were charged for the procedure. He’s worth it so I paid gladly, but not impressed with the dishonesty. Also I have seen the rudeness of the office manager multiple times. She can be ruthless in her business dealings. I’ve even seen her push her way through the door when another employee was clearly holding it open for a client trying to get out, arms full of a large kennel. So I will stick with my vet in Ammon where everyone is treated so well in all circumstances.

Awful. Traumatic experience putting down a dog. They are cruel and barbaric.

Very unprofessional. Didn’t take us to a separate room they took us to the back and we saw many animals passed out or being worked on and I had my kid with me. The person who helped us didn’t tell us what the shots were that she put in our dog and didn’t seem like she knew what she was doing. Do not recommend this place at all. We also had to hold our own dog down to get her shots.

I absolutely love Mountain River Vet, Dr. Garth Waddoups is such an incredible individual, he really loves animals of all sizes. I’ve been in the professional Pet industry for 13+years there’s no one I trust more with my personal dogs and clients dogs. I love the staff they greet my fur babies by name, they’re always so caring and tender. I can’t recommend this practice enough if I move I’m driving how ever far I have to so we can continue to see Dr. Waddoups, truly a gem! I can’t say thank you enough for everything you do for us
