Sawtooth Animal Center

I am so deeply grateful for the people at Sawtooth Animal Center. Last week, my puppy got outside and found rat poison on a neighbor’s property; in a panic I called and took him to the nearest vet. We’d not yet established care anywhere since we only recently moved to the state.

Everyone was so kind, concerned, and immediately made sure my dog was okay. They took him right back to an exam room as it was an emergency, and very quickly induced vomiting followed by nausea medicine and activated charcoal to get the poison out of him. After having thrown up, he wasn’t eager to eat and the vet tech was so amazing, helping me to get him to ingest enough charcoal. She got down on the floor with us both and was so patient with him, which can be hard with a rambunctious puppy getting activated charcoal all over your clothing. The veterinarian was fantastic as well; he clearly explained the treatment process and possible outcomes, what to expect over the next day, and what symptoms would indicate we needed to return. He also reassured me that because we got there and he was treated quickly, my dog would probably be okay (and he is).

And, while my primary concern was ensuring my dog would be okay, I was very surprised at the total cost of the visit. It was much more affordable than I had expected, very reasonable pricing.

I am absolutely going to be bringing my little guy back for routine care in the future. Thank you for saving his life!

10/10 amazing place! Can’t say a single bad thing. I was on vacation when my dog had a seizure and they took him right in. Gave him their full attention! Absolutely loved how I and my dog was treated! I even considered driving 9 hours back every year for my dogs health! That’s how great the experience was. This place truly cares about your pet and not alot vets nowadays are like this. I felt like my dogs health came first above money here which was so refreshing! Again I highly recommend this place you won’t go wrong here. The staff was also extremely nice and made you feel like family. Please don’t ever change because your the needle in a haystack.

Dr. Chad is always amazing to work with. He really makes you feel like he cares deeply for your animal and has your best interest and care in mind. I've had other great experiences with Mark and Lori as well. The front staff is always courteous and helpful! Both my dogs and my kitty are thankful for their veterinary care at Sawtooth Animal.

After dealing with our dog’s middle-of-the-night “digestive episodes” for longer than I care to admit, it was a God-send to be able to get him in for a same-day appointment at Sawtooth Animal Center! Dr. Lieu was so kind and informative in describing the care that our boy needed, and the antibiotics that she prescribed worked like magic. Two miracles in one: a same-day appointment with instant results; it doesn’t get any better than that!! Thanks SO much!!! : )

My cat was sick this morning I took him so he can get checked, besides that they took us in an emergency basis, the doctor was so great (Dr. Acker) he really did a thorough exam and show a lot of empathy for our baby! He was really worried and you can see he's a man who is actually in there because he loves animals, thank you so much Dr. Acker and thank you to the ladys at front that explain to us about financial support for our cat.

They always take such good care of my animals. The staff is so friendly and so compassionate. I love Dr. Leu and Dr. Chad. The doggy daycare here is just as amazing!! We are so happy we have thrm here.

I take both my cat and dog to sawtooth animal center, it’s always a professional and efficient experience. I really feel like they care about my beloved pets too. Thanks Sawtooth!

We moved to Bellevue in 2021 and because it was so close started taking our four german shepherds to Sawtooth Animal Clinic. We've been extremely pleased with the staff and our experience thus far with three of the vets on staff.

I live 2 hours away, but I have never had such consistent and excellent care for all my dogs. I have visited Sawtooth Animal Center for 26 years and don't intend to stop. They are great people who love animals.

Our animals have had vet care from Sawtooth Animal Center for over 20 years. Dr. Laurie Breedveld is a truly skilled and compassionate vet as is Dr. Dana Lieu. The front desk staff are amazing!

My dog Maggie was so excited when she realized we were driving to Sawtooth. And even happier after Dr. Lieu examined her, because Maggie knew that she is going to get some relief from her itching (I think it's allergies). Everyone at this business is friendly and respectful. Thanks you guys.

They are compassionate, and considerate. They care about your animals almost as much as you do. Everyone there always greets you with a smile and they accurately diagnose whatever may be wrong with your fur baby. You will have to pay at the time of visit, which if you're poor like me is hard most of the time, but the care they give your animals is second to none. Thank you for all that you do, and for keeping my children healthy!

Absolutely incredible Vet experience. Our dog was bitten by another dog while we were in Ketchum for the weekend. We were able to get into SAC within 30minutes of calling, on a Saturday. The staff was exceptional, extremely friendly and the vet was knowledgeable and kind. The facility is clean and well equipped. 10/10 would recommend using this clinic if you live in the area or are visiting and an issues arises. Thank you!

Love Sawtooth Animal Center, the ease with which I can have access to a vet, and the tender loving care of the front desk team! Thanks.

The best place ever to board a pet! My dog loves going there and I never worry about how she is because all the workers there give the animals much love and attention. Janelle does an incredible job making sure that all is attended to! Jenny is amazing as well, as are all the fantastic workers. It is great to have the wonderful doctors as well as their techs, right next door should they be needed. One of the times over the summer when I boarded my dog, she had a urinary tract infection that I did not know about. They discovered the problem and started her on the medication to treat it! Dee and Amber as well as all the others at the front desk are incredible as well. Everyone is so nice and caring. The best place ever. We are so very fortunate to have all of them caring for our pets!

Doctor Chad Cleveland thank you so much for taking the time and really going the extra mile with Lee Lou. All of the staff and doctors here are unbelievable! So grateful that this establishment full of wonderful people exists.
Thank you Sawtooth animal center.

My dog jumped out of the car at a rest stop while we were out of town and injured her leg. I really appreciated Sawtooth squeezing her in for xrays and an exam since she couldn't put weight on it. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Thank you!

Amber is the best; she goes above & beyond & follows through. I wish I could give her ten stars!!!

Affordable local vets take care of all my pets ( 2 rare kitties and 2 purebred, pedigreed AKC registerd Old English Sheepdogs) that we don't trust with just anyone. Caring, quick, and thorough, they are the best practice in the area.

Dr. Chad Cleveland is our vet. We really like him a lot. He takes his time with my dog when diagnosing her. We come up with a treatment plan that fits her needs and my budget. The practice is clean, all of the employees are helpful and compassionate. The store is well stocked with food, treats and supplies for all small animals. There is a boarding area as well. They do day care and long term boarding as well. Great animal center!
