The following is a (non-inclusive) list of procedures performed at the Idaho Humane Society Veterinary Medical Center. Important Disclaimers:

Our staffing and schedule vary – some services may not always be available.

Our hospital is dedicated to providing access to veterinary care for thousands of local pet owners who would otherwise be unable to obtain needed procedures s for their pets due to limited finances. Our general practice full-service veterinary hospital offers a range of major surgeries and advanced procedures to meet the needs of owners and pets that cannot afford specialists and referral hospitals. But we absolutely recommend that owners utilize the services of specialists and referral centers if they have the means to do so.

None of the veterinarians at our practice are board-certified in surgery, internal medicine, or dentistry. Rather, our veterinarians are general practitioners. A veterinarian that is board certified in surgery, internal medicine, or dentistry may have specialized training, equipment, or techniques. We routinely offer referrals to specialists, and there are two options in our region: WestVet Emergency Hospital in Garden City and Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Pullman, Washington.

We offer scheduled euthanasia appointments:

Cat and Dog euthanasia (without owner present): $80*

Cat and Dog euthanasia (with owner present): $145

 Please text/call to make an appointment, or request an appointment online.

*Please note: Drop-off euthanasias are performed by our veterinary technicians. By law, our technicians cannot perform euthanasia in the owner’s presence, as that would create a veterinary/client relationship and put our license at risk. Instead, the process requires you to sign your pet over to the Idaho Humane Society. This allows a vet tech to complete the euthanasia without a veterinarian present, which allows us to offer this service at a lower cost.

All euthanasias include communal cremations; the cremains are spread in the mountains near Idaho City. Clients may purchase a private cremation for an additional fee, so they may have the cremains returned.
