At our hospital, caring goes beyond pets. We’re proud to also support Idaho’s wildlife whenever we can as part of giving back to the state we love. 🦉

This young barn owl chick was blown from its nest during a recent windstorm and brought to us for evaluation. Dr. Hacker examined the little one while our technicians, Sierra and Jesse, helped provide supportive care and feedings during its stay.

Once wildlife patients are determined to be healthy and stable, they are transferred to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator who works to prepare them for a safe return to the wild, exactly where they belong.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to play a small role in helping Idaho’s native wildlife thrive. 💚

We hope to see you all this Friday to celebrate the amazing Dr. Calhoun!

We have some bittersweet news to share. Dr. Calhoun has officially announced his retirement.

While we’re still wrapping our heads around the idea of this place without his mischief, we’re incredibly grateful for the vision, dedication, and heart he poured into building the hospital and the relationships that mean so much to all of us (including you). His impact is hard to overstate, and honestly, we’re not sure we’ll ever quite fill his shoes… but we know he won’t be a total stranger!

In true Dr. Calhoun fashion, we couldn’t let this milestone pass without gathering the people who have been part of his journey. We would love for you to join us as we celebrate his remarkable career and send him off with the appreciation and a little bit of fun he deserves!

Date: May 15th
Time: 4:00–7:00 PM
Location: Idaho Veterinary Hospital

Expect good company, a few stories (some more polished than others), and a heartfelt thank-you to a truly great man.

📸 If you happen to have any photos or memories with Dr. Calhoun, we’d be thrilled if you shared them with us! We’re putting together something special, and the more smiles, the better. You can email them to [email protected]

We hope you can join us in celebrating Dr. Calhoun, he’s earned it many times over.

Warmly (and with just a touch of mischief),
The Idaho Veterinary Team

Tiny paws, long ears, and a whole lot of sweetness 🐾💕

Dr. Bierman had the pleasure of meeting “Hope,” this adorable 12-week-old basset hound, for her puppy exam and vaccines today! She was the perfect patient, calm, cuddly, and full of charm from start to finish. 🩺✨

We can’t wait to watch Hope grow up healthy and happy! 🐶💛
