A Continuum of Care for Treasure Valley Pets

In addition to the 24/7 emergency and specialty care at WestVet Boise, Idaho pet owners have another option for exceptional care. There is a WestVet Urgent Care in Meridian, ID, for those unexpected, non-critical needs when your family veterinarian is not available. We’re also proud to partner with many family veterinarians to serve as an extension of their practices.

The Audrey Pet Foundation for Idaho Pets and Their Families

The Audrey Pet Foundation (APF) is Idaho’s first financial assistance program for financially disadvantaged pet owners with pets requiring specialty veterinary care. Since it started in 2006, APF has provided financial support to numerous Treasure Valley families. Funds are matched by donated services from WestVet doctors, resulting in a significant decrease in expenses. Donate here.
