“We recently went into the vet, veterinarian and saw Dr. Meredith to treat our new Aussie doodle and she was fantastic and her staff was fantastic. They were caring and very kind and very informative. It was a good experience all around.”
“I had a great experience taking my cat in. Staff is very kind and helpful! They explained everything clearly to me and I couldn’t believe how affordable the care was compared to places I’ve been to in the past.”
“Very professional and educated. I have been going to Noah's Ark for a while now and all the staff are always friendly, caring, sincere, and to the point. Thank you!”
“We moved to Rapid City a little over three years, and were discouraged by the level of veterinarian care we were receiving since we left behind an amazing vet in Mitchell. With the recent adoption of our newest dog, Dwayne, I decided to look elsewhere for his care. I took a chance with Town and Country based upon their online reviews and am please to say they really are 5 out of 5 stars- would give them more stars if I could. They sincerely care, and they actually listen. More importantly, their bedside manners as veterinarians are top-notch, treating each pet like a valued member of their own family. A recent emergency visit affirmed my belief that we found the care we needed and wanted, and look forward to many years of continued care.
We truly appreciate the responsiveness and concern during our late night emergency visit- I am sure I was more shaken up than our dog and sincerely value how they treated me as a pet parent with concerns.”
“We get everything we are looking for there and the other day we gotten a saddle that was in good shape and in out price range. Our boys got their duster they waer for the cold weather. Great place nice people.”
“Great care of my dogs by all.
Staff friendly and knowledgeable.
Vets were great. Great communication while my dog was having surgery. Thank you!”
“Dr. Cook saved my border collie- she got sick while I was visiting in the area and I was able to get in on rather short notice. Dr. Cook examined her, gave me options, then prescribed medications and treatments that worked. I am so thankful to you and your staff.”

“Just the best place: staff, doctor, the building itself are all top notch. We were tourists in town for a few days, and were concerned about our lab's ongoing ear infection. She's been seen twice by our vet back home, we just needed to make sure we weren't backsliding. We got an appointment the same day, saw Dr. Shipman who examined her thoroughly, and discussed what to do, what to look for, possible options about future treatment etc. great bedside manner. Couldn't be more pleased.”
“Love and compassion.
Have been going to Docter Mary for years. Her compassion and desire to do what is best for our furry family member is without question. Highly recommended!”
“I have been taking my pets to Dakota Hills Vet for over 25 years. After reading some of the reviews, I wanted to share my perspective as someone who has a very long history with this clinic.
Are they expensive? Yes. But I also believe you get what you pay for. Have mistakes been made over the years? Yes. One of my pets was given the wrong dose of antibiotics, and I believe it ultimately contributed to us having to put him down when his infection worsened. He was 11. Would I see that particular veterinarian again? No, although I don’t believe she is still there.
Have a couple of the veterinarians seemed curt at times? Yes. We all have bad days. I have also had a frustrating interaction with front desk staff. When I was trying to confirm medication management for my Lab with seizures, I felt dismissed rather than having my concern passed along to the veterinarian. It didn’t stop me from pushing until I got the answers I needed. When I eventually spoke with the veterinarian, he told me that in the future I should insist on being transferred to his voicemail so I could leave the question directly for him.
Was that interaction frustrating? Absolutely. But it was one interaction out of hundreds over more than 25 years, and I think that perspective matters.
Do I believe the people at Dakota Hills genuinely care about animals? Hands down, yes. I have never questioned that, and that is why I am willing to pay a premium for their care.
One experience in particular says a lot about this clinic. Another pet owner brought in a beautiful 2 year old Lab after he began having seizure activity following a dose of heartworm medication. The veterinarian could not say with certainty that he didn’t have an underlying seizure disorder. His owner wanted him euthanized, but instead, the clinic asked to take over his care.
I ultimately ended up with that beautiful, sweet dog, less than a week later, who now completely owns my heart. I think he probably owns a little piece of the heart of the veterinarian who saved him, too. And by the way, he has now been seizure free for a year.
Nobody and no veterinary clinic is perfect. After more than 25 years, I have experienced both the good and the bad. But I have also seen firsthand how much the people at Dakota Hills care about the animals entrusted to them. They gave one dog a chance when someone else was ready to give up on him, and because of that, he is here today living a beautiful life.
Would I recommend Dakota Hills Vet? Without a shadow of a doubt.”

“Dr. Mez is a caring, compassionate Vet. Our fur baby was recently diagnosed with cancer and she has really gone the extra mile to help us use data and research to understand what our options are and not only has she provided us referrals but she also has helped us navigate that path as well. I can't say enough good things about her. Additionally I've never had an issue getting my dog in for an appointment. Even when they are booked they make extra effort to find a way to get you in ASAP. Highly recommend!!”
“I really like this vet clinic and highly recommend them. And I trust them with all of my pets. But the receptionist could be a bit nicer though. He can be a bit rude.”
“All Creatures has been taking care of my dogs since 2019. They are such great partners in helping me keep them healthy, up to date on shots, and keep me sane when they aren't feeling well.
The entire staff is engaged, responsive, and caring of each animal (and owner) that comes through their doors. Thank you!”
