Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic

Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic At Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic, our most valuable assets are our clients and the animals that they love! Why?

Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic was originally founded in 1947, when it was called Norris Veterinary Service. Back then, it was a mere two room “cow camp” and most of the services offered were for large animals. In 1984, the practice name was changed to Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic and with that name change came the first initial phases of transition into what today is a comprehensive and progres

sive veterinary practice. Over the years, our practice has seen many changes as we’ve improved our technology and equipment, expanded our services and assembled a team of highly skilled, caring veterinary professionals. The one thing that hasn’t changed, however, is our unwavering commitment to improving the lives of our patients, and helping each one of them enjoy as many happy, healthy years as possible. It is this dedication that allows us to deliver the most effective, comprehensive care available in the Rapid City and Black Hills area. Our hospital is made complete with an incredible team of veterinarians, technicians, assistants and support personnel who are passionate about animal health care. We love what we do, and we love working for you, our most valued asset. In fact, most of our staff has been with DHVC for nearly a decade and we’re still going strong! Because we cherish the special relationships we’ve built with you, and the lifelong bonds we’ve formed with your pets. The services provided to our patients include just about anything you could ever need to keep your animal friend happy and healthy, from wellness care and preventative medicine to advanced diagnostic testing to complex surgery and more. We also offer full service boarding to provide for all of your pet care needs in one convenient location. Our patients include traditional companion animals, such as dogs and cats, as well as pocket pets, birds, reptiles and exotics.

🌸🐰 Easter Fun, Pet Safety First! 🐾💐

Easter is a time for celebration, but some holiday traditions can be risky for our furry friends! Keep your pets safe this Easter with these quick tips:

🚫 No Chocolate or Candy – Even small amounts can be toxic to dogs and cats.
🚫 Skip the Fake Grass – That shiny Easter basket filler can be a choking hazard.
🚫 Watch the Lilies – Beautiful, but extremely toxic to cats.
✅ Secure Decorations – Keep small toys, plastic eggs, and ribbons out of paws' reach.
✅ Create a Pet-Safe Space – With visitors and excitement, a quiet retreat can help your pet relax.

🐶🐱 A little awareness goes a long way in keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching all weekend long!

Wishing you and your pets a safe and joyful Easter! 🐣💕

Snakebite season has arrived. With the longer days and warmer weather, we find ourselves taking advantage of the beautiful country around us but so are other creatures including rattlesnakes. Despite information to the contrary, giving an antihistamine such as Benadryl does not help with rattlesnake bites. In the unfortunate event your pet has an unwelcome exchange with a poisonous snake, the best thing to do is keep them as calm as possible and get them to a veterinarian right away. Enjoy our beautiful Black Hills and prairies but do be aware of other creatures doing the same!
