Happy Monday Teton Valley!!
To answer some questions being asked around the valley,
YES we are allowing pet owners to come inside for appointments.
We are only asking clients call the clinic prior to entering because our lobby is small.
Most days we are inundated with emergency drop offs and surgeries on top of regular scheduled appointments. To make sure we have a safe and somewhat easy flow in the lobby , we like to have exam rooms available before you and your pets enter the building. By doing this we can avoid nose to nose contact between dogs, and safely secure cats and owners while in the building.
We love our clients and their pets, sadly we have outgrown the building since 2020.
If you have any questions or concerns we love to answer those! Give us a call 208-354-2212

Teton Valley has such a limited number of veterinarians that offer after-hours and weekend emergent care, so we have teamed up with VetTriage, a convenient and affordable after-hours veterinary video telehealth platform. The VetTriage veterinarians will assess your pet on video to determine whether the ailment your pet is facing constitutes a true medical emergency. VetTriage is not limited to just companion animals, their veterinarians will be available for all species.

If the VetTriage veterinarians deems your pet's condition a medical emergency, they will arrange the visit with one of our on-call doctors/local emergency veterinary hospitals for treatment on an emergency basis. The vast majority of calls are deemed non emergent, therefore safe advice and home monitoring instructions will be given to you by the VetTriage doctor so you can care for your pet until our clinic is open to schedule an appointment or see your pet as an emergency drop off.

VetTriage prevents unnecessary traveling and costs to you, our valued pet parent, and allows our doctor and staff to have a few nights and weekends off from being on call so we can provide the excellent service you are used to receiving during operating hours.

You can get ahold of the VetTriage Veterinarians anytime outside of our normal business hours online at https://vettriage.com/driggs/ or by phone at (800) 940-1921

Some of you may have noticed a kitty hanging out by the clinic, and many have asked about her. We first started seeing her last spring, and early this fall we captured her, spayed her and tipped her ear, then let her go anticipating we would never see her again. We have a lot of feral kitties that find their way to our haystack, and we do our best to trap neuter and release , but she had other ideas. She thinks it's nice and warm in the clinic at night and she is fond of treats, kitten food and snuggles, and even more fond of roaming her territory during the day...
So she has become our official clinic kitty and while she usually sticks to the haystack around back during the day, you may see her on the fence or front porch. Please be aware of her as you pull into and out of the parking lot.
So meet Hei Hei, pun intended. ❤️❤️

Hello to all our wonderful clients! We have received numerous phone calls expressing concern about the new respiratory illness that is being reported in dogs. Here is what we know so far:
1) as of this week, there have been NO reported or suspect cases in Idaho. Colorado and Oregon have cases under investigation.
2) this disease started in the Northeast US in December of 2022, and has become national news as cases have spread to the South and West Coast over the last several weeks.
3) the veterinary community still does not have an identified pathogen because testing has been limited up to this point and there has been no coordinated national effort. We are seeing more testing on a large scale now, and hope this will give us more answers soon.

So what can you do?

The AVMA and the veterinary community is recommending that you keep your dogs up to date on their vaccines for known upper respiratory pathogens - bordetella (main kennel cough vaccine), parainfluenza / adenovirus (part of the distemper/parvo combo shot) and influenza (more important if traveling as we do not have as much risk in this region).
As of now, we have seen no increase in coughing dogs in the valley, but we encourage owners to remain vigilant and avoid exposing their pets to unvaccinated or sick animals.

We encourage you to reach out with questions, but please be patient for a response as we have been experiencing a high volume of calls.

22/11/2023

CLOSED:
Driggs Veterinary Clinic will close at 11am on Wednesday November 22. We will remain closed Thursday, November 23 and Friday, November 24.
Idaho Falls Emergency Vet Clinic will be on call throughout the weekend.
We are grateful for our wonderful clients and patients.
Happy Thanksgiving!
