What We Do

Complete veterinary care, one clinic.

Most clinics in the Gallatin Valley handle either small animals or large animals. We handle both. Your dog and your horse see the same team, in the same place.

Small Animal

Dogs, cats, and the occasional ferret or rabbit. From routine checkups to complex orthopedic surgery. Dr. Meyers leads small animal care with a specialty in feline medicine and dentistry.

  • Wellness exams and vaccinations
  • Spay/neuter and soft tissue surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery (ACL repairs, fracture repair)
  • Dental cleanings and dental surgery
  • Digital radiology and ultrasound
  • In-house laboratory (CBC, chemistry, urinalysis)
  • Microchipping

Large Animal

Equine

Dr. Whitfield completed an equine surgery residency at UC Davis. That level of surgical training is rare in general practice. From lameness workups to emergency colic surgery, your horses are in expert hands.

  • Lameness exams and sports medicine
  • Dentistry (power float)
  • Reproductive services and foaling assistance

Livestock

  • Cattle herd health (vaccinations, pregnancy checking, deworming)
  • Small ruminant care (goats, sheep, llamas)
  • Farm calls and mobile veterinary service

After-Hours Emergency

24/7 Emergency and Critical Care

For established clients, our emergency line goes directly to the on-call veterinarian. Dr. Whitfield covers large animal emergencies. Dr. Meyers handles small animal after-hours on rotation.

(406) 555-0234

A real vet answers. Not a call center, not a voicemail tree.

Who We Treat

Every animal in the valley.

From a nervous kitten's first checkup to a 1,200-pound quarterhorse with a torn suspensory. If it has four legs (or occasionally two), we probably treat it.

Dr. Sarah Whitfield, DVM

Owner & Lead Veterinarian

Colorado State DVM 2012. Completed an equine surgery residency at UC Davis, one of the top programs in the country. Practiced five years in Jackson Hole before founding Copper Creek in 2019. Her surgical training means your horse can get advanced orthopedic care without a referral to Helena.

Special interests: equine orthopedics, colic surgery, and complicated foalings. She has performed emergency colic surgeries at 3am, delivered foals in snowstorms, and fixed ACL tears on ranch dogs between farm calls.

Lives on 20 acres outside Bozeman with 3 horses, 2 dogs, and a barn cat named Invoice.

Has two rescue pit bulls named Brisket and Biscuit.

RT

Rachel Tran

Client Services Coordinator

Keeps the schedule running, remembers every patient by name. Her phone voice could calm a nervous Great Dane.

Our Facility

Built for every patient.

Most mixed practices are either a small animal clinic that also does farm calls, or a large animal practice with no real clinic. We built Copper Creek to do both properly. The exam rooms are inside; the barn and round pen are out back. Five acres on Jackrabbit Lane, Bridger Mountains behind us.

Equipment & Diagnostics

  • Surgical suite with full anesthetic monitoring
  • Digital radiography (whole-body and dental)
  • Ultrasound for both small and large animal
  • In-house laboratory (results in minutes, not days)
  • Dental station with digital dental x-ray
  • Squeeze chute for cattle work

The Mobile Vet Unit

A custom-equipped Ford F-350 that brings the clinic to your ranch. Digital x-ray, basic lab, surgical supplies, and pharmacy on board.

Farm calls throughout Gallatin and Park counties. Because sometimes the patient weighs 1,200 pounds and isn't getting in a carrier.

Emergency Care

Your vet picks up. Not a recording.

For established clients, our after-hours emergency line connects directly to the on-call veterinarian. No phone trees, no answering services, no 45-minute drive to the nearest emergency clinic. A real vet answers your call.

The corporate vet chains in Bozeman close at 5pm and send you somewhere else. We believe that if you trust us with your animals, we should be there when it matters most.

After-Hours Emergency

Large Animal Emergency
