Rita D.2024-05-25 Can't say enough good about our experience at Dakota Hills today! Abra and Dr Shipman were so loving and gentle with our 14-yr-old Chihuahua mix. We just arrived from Oklahoma yesterday for a 5-day camping trip outside of Custer. Apparently, our pup tweaked her knee after being spooked as we were hiking, and she can't put any weight on that back leg. We called this morning, and Emma was very kind, efficient, and able to give us an appointment right away. They had a steady stream of local patients, so we were grateful our girl could be seen, especially on a holiday weekend. They were thorough, knowledgeable, and very fairly priced. Would highly recommend this vet practice! Lise V.2023-09-20 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. David J.2022-11-10 Five years later. A friend needed a vet and went to "one that was closest." That clinic had two vets and one vet he felt was not very compassionate. I told him about this place and how they had four very nice vets. I also mentioned the Animal Hospital certification and as I mentioned that I thought I had better confirm my facts. Yup. Five years later and there still are only TWO vet clinics in all of Rapid City that are certified as animal hospitals. ( Like hospitals for people, there are a set of standards that have to be met.) I have never had a problem getting my Chihuahuas in to be seen. A routine appointment is usually within a week and an urgent one is less than a day. They have recently remodeled the place and it looks great and is always very clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Cathy S.2022-07-23 So helpful for someone on the tourist circuit far from home and worried. Very accommodating with clear explanation of extremely reasonable fiscal responsibility. Thank you! Mary S.2021-11-12 My buddy had sudden onset of difficulty chewing and eating his favorite bones and treats. Worried, i called a few area vets but couldn't get in for weeks. I called Dakota Hills Vet Clinic and was able to get in the same day. The staff was super nice and Bowie was seen within minutes. The whole exam, including anesthia and lancing an abscess stuck way back in his mouth was completed in 30 minutes! Wow was super relieved and impressed with everyone there! Dr. Dye performed an exam and discussed the possibilities in a quick and efficient manner and was highly professional. I thought the cost was really fair and Bowie was back home recovering easily back home with adequate medication to make him comfortable. Thanks so much for a great team! I highly recommend this Clinic. Andy B.2021-10-06 We were on vacation when our punster became ill on a weekend. These folks were able to see us, diagnose the problem give us medication and send us on our way. Very professional and although the facility was under construction I am sure it will be beautiful when completed. Also very aware of covid restrictions with cleanliness, masks, etc. Highly recommend !!
