Opportunities for Kids
At Latah Creek Animal Hospital, we believe in the value of having family pets and having children take an active role in the pets’ care. After all, children with pets make up a whole new generation of animal lovers, pet owners, and veterinary providers!
Latah Creek Animal Hospital is a family-friendly practice that is happy to have children in the exam room to observe and even behind the scenes when possible. We are happy to make your child’s visit a learning experience.
