Our dog Tasha had developed a limp late Tuesday afternoon. We watched her closely the next two days and on Friday I called and spoke to Becky. Even though Dr. G was in surgery most of the day she managed to fit us in late afternoon. She put Tasha on some anti-inflammatories. The thing I am so grateful for is that the staff really go above and beyond when your pet has a problem. Thank you Dr. G. and thank you Becky for figuring out a way for us to be seen.

I have 12 Labs and can count on the Animal Center to get appointments within a reasonable time/ they have also handled any emergency that I have had. The staff & Vets are very friendly and helpful. Have been doing business with Animal Center since 1981.

They have five or six veterinarians there, so they're always well staffed and always friendly to help. We have cats so they will also come out to your vehicle and carry the cat kit cage in.Maybe even your dog cage!Again, always a pleasant experience.

We took our granddog in for a pre-flight physical needed for an international flight. We were super impressed with Dr. Newman and his staff. We were also impressed with Tori who works at intake and who was super helpful in getting the paperwork necessary for the international flight for the dog. Tori went above and beyond the call of duty. Great animal hospital! Great people! Highly recommend!

I have always taken my cats to see Dr. Dagnall, and our chihuahuas years prior with another doctor. The entire team here is so amazing and so beyond friendly! They are always willing to explain everything thoroughly and make you and your pet feel comfortable & at ease! Plus, their prices are fair and they work with you any chance they can!Thanks Dr. Dagnall!- Sunshine, my 16 year old kitty ?

Dr Newman is an amazing vet. He truely cares about the animals when he sees them. I made the mistake of going to alpine once and won't make that mistake again. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality, affordable, vet care. From front desk, to vet techs, to the Dr's, they are an amazing clinic. Highly recommended from an 11 year customer.

I have entrusted my pets to the animal center for over two decades now and I will never willingly go anywhere else. Every doctor I have seen has been professional, knowledgeable and, particularly when I had to put my cat down, compassionate. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

We take our Rottweiler, Aussie, Snow Bengal, and Tuxedo to see Dr. Lori 'G'. I have worked with the other vets as well as they provide the primary veterinary care for the Lewis & Clark Humane Society and would take care of the litters of kittens I would foster. They have handled everything from simple checkups to failure to thrive issues to spays and neuters and are always spectacular. They handled the additional stresses and special circumstances of COVID-19 in a very professional and caring way. I highly recommend the Animal Center!

Dr. Newman and staff were absolutely wonderful! Our girl isn't a big fan of the vet, but she was totally at ease with them. I highly recommend them, everyone was so nice!

Should have come here sooner. Solid staff, great veterinarians, just a real place, caring for pets, animals, people. Not a boutique, not a club. Reasonable prices, real care. And thank you, Dr. Newman and Dr. Dagnall.

I think this is one of the best veterinary clinics in town. Not only are they my regular clinic, but I've had to make 3 emergency visits to them (spread over years), and they have ALWAYS been available for my animals. I can not say this about other vets in town. I won't mention names, even though I should. They do their best to give you up-front pricing, so you aren't totally shocked by the cost. I also feel that they don't do unnecessary testing just for the money.

Last year, we had only been in Helena for two months and had an incredibly traumatic experience at another vet in town. As we were new and our 6 y/o dog was healthy, we hadn't yet established a vet. She became acutely ill, and what followed with the other vet in town was an astounding lack of compassion, empathy, and advocacy for our quickly deteriorating pet. We wound up taking our pet to a specialist in Missoula where it was determined she had cancer, but the treatment received at the other vet was traumatizing for us as pet owners.So, a year and a few months later we were ready to adopt another pet. We had made the decision to seek primary vet care in Bozeman because we were still so upset by the treatment we received last year. A coworker recommended Animal Center Veterinary Hospital, and we couldn't be more happy that we started taking our puppy, Joey here. Dr. Newman is incredibly patient with us, and I have called on two separate occasions with questions about her health - once over Memorial Day when he wasn't working- and he has called back within half an hour both times, which exceeded my expectations by a mile. He is incredibly kind and never makes you feel rushed, and you can tell he genuinely still loves and cares for dogs. We are so happy we made the change. I don't really leave google reviews, but wanted to give this great vet a shout out.

We have used the services of The Animal Center, and Dr Lori Giuffré in particular, since we moved to Helena in early 2019. Dr Giuffré has helped us through some good times and a couple of sad times with our cats Sāga, Luci, and now new kitty Max. She has truly demonstrated care and understanding above and beyond for all our fur babies, and us. The entire staff has been outstanding. Highly, highly recommend.
