Veterinary Care - Veterinary Hospital

Idaho Humane Society Veterinary Hospital

The Idaho Humane Society operates a non-profit veterinary hospital which provides a full range of services for the pet owning public in addition to caring for the animals at our shelter.

As part of our ongoing effort to end pet overpopulation, the hospital spayed and neutered 7,576 dogs, cats and rabbits last year. Additionally, other medical procedures such as dentistry and orthopedic surgery are routinely performed. Our staff of six licensed veterinarians treats over 15,000 animals each year, and is available by appointment seven days per week. Whether adopted from our shelter, or obtained elsewhere, your pet is welcome at our facility.

Proceeds from your patronage of our hospital help rescue, rehabilitate and find homes for thousands of animals every year.

  • Free medical services to the abandoned animals in our shelter, including those with severe injuries such as broken bones and internal injuries.
