Services
Emergency Care
Baxter Creek Veterinary Clinic provides emergency veterinary care during regular business hours (7:30 AM5:30 PM, MondayFriday). For after-hours emergencies, we refer clients to Bridger Veterinary Specialists. Our team handles critical cases with immediate attention, ensuring pets receive timely and appropriate care while maintaining partnerships with local specialists for 24/7 support.
Dentistry
Our dental services include routine cleanings, extractions, and advanced treatments for periodontal disease. Using digital radiology, we diagnose and address issues below the gum line, such as abscesses and bone loss. Over 85% of pets over four years old suffer from periodontal disease, and our comprehensive approach ensures early detection and treatment to prevent systemic health complications.
Preventive Care
We emphasize proactive health management through vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutrition counseling. Tailored vaccine protocols and antibody titer testing minimize unnecessary shots while protecting against infectious diseases. Our preventive strategies address heartworm, fleas, ticks, and dietary needs, ensuring pets maintain optimal health throughout their lives.
Imaging
Our clinic offers digital radiography, contrast radiography, and ultrasound for accurate internal diagnostics. We perform OFA-certified radiographs and collaborate with board-certified radiologists for specialized interpretations. These tools enable precise diagnosis of fractures, organ abnormalities, and chronic conditions, guiding effective treatment plans for complex cases.
End of Life Care
We provide compassionate euthanasia and hospice care for pets with terminal illnesses or declining quality of life. Our protocols ensure peaceful, pain-free transitions, with options for in-clinic or house-call services. We also offer cremation services, including private and communal options, to honor pets and support grieving families during difficult times.
