Overview

Full-service veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care

Located in Great Falls, Montana, Big Sky Animal Medical Center was started as a 3000 sq. ft. veterinary clinic built in 1996. In January of 2006 a 5600 sq. ft. addition was started. Completed in November of 2006, the addition includes a newly expanded treatment area. This area has a built-in bank of kennels allowing our vet staff to monitor animals as they recover from surgery or other veterinary procedures along with a bank of kennels designed for critically ill patients. This area is also used for many of our specialty veterinary procedures. We have expanded the clinic's canine and feline boarding areas to allow for more boarding and longer term boarding. Our newly expanded waiting area now includes a separate area for our feline patients. Big Sky is equipped to perform multiple surgeries, including but not limited to those for lumbosacral disease, intervertebral disc disease, and triple pelvic osteotomies. All referral cases are sent back to the referring veterinarian with copies of the records, radiographs and CDs of CT scans

What reviewers say

63% Mixed sentiment
based on 633 reviews

Big Sky Animal Medical Center provides essential emergency and routine veterinary care as the primary 24-hour option in the region. The clinical team is widely regarded as compassionate, thorough, and highly knowledgeable during critical situations and end-of-life care. However, operations face significant friction, including long wait times, high and sometimes unpredictable pricing, and communication breakdowns during urgent requests. While many families express deep gratitude for lifesaving interventions, others report severe distress regarding billing transparency and inconsistent after-hours availability.
