Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic

With compassionate service and personalized care, we’re dedicated to your pet’s health and honored to be part of their journey. At Dakota Hills Veterinary Clinic, a locally and privately owned practice, we understand that your pet is family. Our Rapid City clinic offers compassionate care and exceptional service that sets us apart. We cherish the bond between you and your furry friend, striving to

provide the most personalized and effective care. Your pet’s well-being is our priority, and we look forward to serving your beloved companion for years to come. 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 progressive 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.
