Alpine Animal Hospital is excited to announce that our allergy testing and initial allergy treatment package will be 25% off from now until October 25th. Please call our office for more information. This is an amazing opportunity to see if your pet suffers from allergies. This is a blood test and can be scheduled as a tech visit.

As a friendly reminder all patients must be kept up to date on rabies vaccines in compliance with Kootenai County Law. Even if the pet resides outside of Kootenai County they must be up to date to be seen in our office. Patients will be required to be vaccinated once they are of age. While we do not require other vaccines they are strongly recommended to reduce illness, spread of diseases or death. Kenneling animals must be current on all vaccines to stay at our hospital. Please remember to be kind to the staff enforcing county laws. ☺️

Our dear clients found this sweet boy earlier this week near Thomas Hill in CDA and brought him in for care. He has been neutered and has been well fed, but looks like he has been on his own for a bit based on some medical issues. He is an absolute love (taking pictures was hard because he wants to rub everything) and I'm sure is dearly missed by someone.

Response to the potentially fatal respiratory illness in dogs that has been reported in several states across the country. Our office is doing everything possible to ensure the safety and well-being of pets in our area. As many have heard, there has been a spread of a potentially fatal respiratory illness. This illness has been gaining more attention in the news and has grown from the beginning of the year.

Although information is limited currently and there is no known widespread testing or guaranteed prevention, our office has agreed to follow the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) recommendations. These recommendations state that dogs should be vaccinated against kennel cough as well as canine influenza.

Our recommendation would be to avoid exposure when possible. Most of our exposure occurs at places like large kenneling facilities. The best prevention we can provide would be to avoid kenneling facilities, groomers, dog parks, and places where your dog may encounter other dogs.

We would strongly advise that all our dogs be vaccinated against canine influenza (dog flu vaccine) and kennel cough (Bordetella vaccine). There is not enough information to know if this will prevent this virus or decrease the symptoms, however, at this time it is the best possible prevention we have available.

With all the information outlined above, Alpine Animal Hospital will still offer limited kenneling for our patients. We have several protocols in place to keep exposure down including an advanced air filtration system, cleaning solutions, sectioned kenneling areas, and no nose-to-nose exposure to other patients in the office.

We will require that going forward all animals kenneling with our office be current on all vaccines. This includes canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus, canine parainfluenza virus, canine parvovirus, rabies, Bordetella, and influenza.

Please call our office to schedule a time to have your pets’ vaccines updated. Our office can be reached at (208) 664-2168.

Good morning! We are sharing the new hours of the Emergency Vet Hospital. While we reserve urgent same day appointments to accommodate for those unexpected emergencies we often book those within an hour of opening. Some days we just can’t provide care for every one in need so now we have another option for those seeking urgent care!
