Dr. Savage is the greatest. I have had been utilizing him over an almost 20-year span. My daughter's rabbit was fatally injured by a dog who jumped our fence and Dr. Savage's bedside manner made me decide to start taking my cats there. He gave wonderful care to my cats, treating one for a chronic condition and eventually putting her down as I held her in my arms. Fast forward a few years, we wanted to adopt a dog after not having any pets for about 10 years, needed a recommendation from a vet. I wasn't even sure he'd remember me, but he not only remembered me, he gave me a private consultation with all the ins and outs of what to watch out for when adopting. Now he provides care to our beloved rescue and his "bedside" manner is still terrific. I don't know if he really thinks our dog is something special or if he makes everybody feel that way. He's a very genuine guy. He will work with you to accommodate your preferences or shortcomings (like maybe you don't brush your dog's teeth). The rest of his staff is great too. My dog never minds going off with the tech to get a shot. We had to make an after-hours call and I got the other vet. What he suggested worked fine and we did not have to go to the office. He was very thorough over the phone.

After bringing my pet to this business multiple times, I would certainly recommend it to others. The clinic is very clean and pleasant. The staff is friendly and considerate. Everybody seems to try to make me and my dog feel as comfortable as possible. I trust their recommendations and feel confident that my dog will be properly cared for when I leave him at the clinic for surgeries or other lengthy procedures. They have always been sympathetic to the fact that I don't have a lot of money, but still want the best care possible for my dog. I've never felt like I was charged unnecessarily and my dog has had no problems or complications from any of the procedures that he had done at the clinic. The emergency service is also great. I called in at about 2:00 AM and the dr was there within about 15 or 20 minutes, stayed for hours, and undoubtedly saved my dog's life. The Flathead valley has a lot of great vets, and these guys are among the best.
