My wife and I have been taking our furry family members to Vista Vet for many years. More than 20 I think. They have always showed real compassion for our pets. We've had many four legged family members who have enriched our lives. One of our Great Pyrenees got to where she couldn't stand up without help. She was over 12 years old so we were blessed. I made an appointment on 1 June, 2018 for a four o'clock appointment. My wife was taking this really hard as Ginger was here very close friend. After spending hours with Ginger by the creek in our back yard, I called Vista Vet to see if they could do a house call. Without hesitation Henry yes. About an hour and a half later Dr. Shultz and Henry arrived at our home near Idaho City to help us with Ginger. What a blessing! I'm so appreciative of these two! It really helped us in a very difficult situation. Thank you very much Henry and Dr. Shultz! Read Less

Had to update because I no longer come here. Last visit the tech started asking for all the details (breed, gender, age) of my girl dog and it was our 5th visit. My dog started to be upset with the way the tech was talking, so we walked out. Also, on a previous dental cleaning, they charged me for nail trimming that wasn't discussed prior. I am disappointed that we can't come back because the Vet was good... her staff and office organization has failed her! Dr. Kimber Zahller was kind, gentle, and patient with my not so Vet loving male dog. We warned the office staff that he can be a little grumpy and not so keen with men, so the office assigned us to Dr. Zahller. She listened well to me, but clearly figured a few things out by observation. The dog was mysteriously not eating, drinking, playing, and acting loopy. She diagnosed the problem as injured shoulders and put him on some anti-inflammatories! He is eating, drinking, and starting to play again. Thank you Dr. Zahller for not trying to be authoritative with our boy, thank you for listening and helping with your expertise!! Let us know if you fix your office staff and tech staff. Read Less

I was travelling through town and had to take my 3 year old cat in for a toenail that was partly tore off. I didn’t know what their building looked like when I called but they could get me in right away so that was good. The staff was all friendly but the facility and equipment looked really dated. I think the old guy who owns the place isn’t too interested in keeping up with new things and thinks the way vets did things in the old days is still ‘good enough’. He didn’t seem engaged or interested in pain control, which was important to me and when I asked about it he just said the antibiotics would take the pain and swelling down good enough. But it had only just happened and there wasn’t time for infection and my cat was limping and licking at it so I wanted pain pills. He did a bunch of blood tests so it was all over $300. I feel like he did the blood work to run up the bill, maybe because we’re from out of town, but then why wouldn’t he send a prescription for pain pills, which I asked for? If you’re looking for a vet I think you’d do better picking any other vet in town at random rather than going here. Read Less
