Mountain West Veterinary Specialists

My ferret passed away two days ago, and in my grief I can’t help but ruminate on how happy I am that we started seeing MWVS. We came to them first in an emergency. He had an anal prolapse and our current vet told us they MIGHT be able to get us in Monday (it was Friday and they couldn’t even guarantee it, so we didn’t love that answer). We called multiple offices but the answer kept being “our exotics doc isn’t in today, so we can’t help you until they are.” The team at the main clinic said they would see him, and I later found out that Dr. Bowersox took care of him despite not usually working with exotics, with some texting consultation on the side with Dr. Lofgren, who was not working that day but still willing to advise where needed. We felt so cared for and considered with Dr. Bowers

During one of the most frightening times of my life, this hospital took extraordinary care of my dog and treated him as if he were their own. The doctors and technicians were thoughtful, thorough, and compassionate—not just toward him, but toward me as well. Every decision was explained clearly, my questions were never brushed aside, and I always felt included and respected as part of his care team. It was obvious how deeply everyone cared, even during long shifts and difficult moments. Because of them, my dog is recovering, comfortable, and still very much himself. I will always be grateful for the skill, empathy, and dedication shown here. I cannot thank this team enough.

My sweet Boxer, Brinkley, was treated very well by all the staff at Mountain West Vet Specialists and ER. Unfortunately, she spent her last 10 days with many visits to MtnWest but each time she was treated with kindness and patience. Their communication was excellent from the receptionist to the Veterinarians. Thank you, Duke. My expectations were understood and costs and treatments were very well explained. Each vet tech was loving to Brinkley. Drs. Vadell, Langheinrich, Simmons, and Wang were friendly and knowledgable about Brinkley's diagnosis. I would highly recommend Mountain West Vet Specialists and ER. Thank you to everyone. You are good at what you do. Stacy and Brett

Called yesterday because my axolotl was lethargic, wasnt really responding to touch and was near death. He was covered in a white fungus (not ick, nothing I've seen before and I've been in the hobby of keeping axolotls for 10 yrs) and was in DESPERATE need of help. I called and explained what was going on and asked if what do I do for an antifungal for an axolotl as I know they don't handle salt baths well and I didn't want to guess when I got to Petco and possibly kill him. They suggested I bring him in. I explained there's absolutely no way he would survive the stress of transport right now, especially because I live an hour away, it just wasn't an option, that's just torture and guaranteed death. They said they can't give any advice, especially since they don't know if it's fungal. Well

They are amazing!!!! Our 25lb Miniature schnauzer ate 5oz of chocolate on Christmas day. They were able to get him right in! Money is extremely tight right now and they were able to work with us and saved our pup. They were very caring and understanding. They took a really bad situation and helped turn it around for us!! Thank you!!
