VCA Kootenai Animal Hospital has been serving north Idaho’s pets for over 25 years. We have helped many beloved pets live long and healthy lives. We pride ourselves in delivering compassionate care for both the pet and the owners. Serving Post Falls, Coeur d’ Alene, Rathdrum and Spokane area. Our veterinarians, technicians, and support staff have been trained to the highest standards to deliver the best care to your beloved pets. Our veterinarians are constantly building their knowledge of current procedures to keep up to date with the latest in preventive medicine and surgical procedures. Our veterinary care is provided by doctors and staff who offer customized treatment for each individual pet, treating each patient as if they were part of our own family. We value each and every one of our clients and their pets, and we strive to provide the most up-to-date, quality care available, putting our hospital on the map of veterinary medicine in Idaho.
Our surgical doctors have a combined 30 plus years of experience in performing anything from simple procedures to complex orthopedic cases. We offer spay, neuters, dental procedures, including dental radiology and extractions, mass removals, BOAS surgeries, including stenotic nares, soft palate, and saccules. We also offer orthopedic procedures including complex fracture repairs, luxating patella repair, and Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO). Dr. Rogers and Dr. Reijm have both completed extensive training for the TPLO procedure as well as with fracture repairs. We use interlocking plates which strengthen fixation and reduce implant failures for TPLO and fracture repairs. With use of an radiology program called vPOP the doctors are able to plan for their TPLO and fracture repair procedures, measuring the patients bones precisely to make their customized surgical plan prior to anesthesia. Our veterinarians also use the Ellman surgitron, a specialized piece of equipment that reduces healing time and cauterizes vessels during procedures. Pain management is very important to our doctors and they utilize nocita, a long acting pain reliever for larger procedures.
We provide preventative care including yearly vaccinations, exams, bloodwork and flea and tick preventative. We see patients for common issues including skin issues, geriatric issues, and behavior issues. We offer same-day appointments (when available) for urgent and emergency needs. With in-house radiology and blood machines we can get answers quickly when your pet isn’t feeling their best. Our hospital also works with a traveling boarded veterinary radiologist that comes in as needed to perform more complex testing with ultrasonography.
We harness the scale and strength of our global network while acknowledging each individual's contribution. We work locally to improve the lives of all who interact with our brand.
