Faithful Friends Veterinary Care

About Faithful Friends Veterinary Care

Faithful Friends Veterinary Care is a family-owned veterinary clinic located at 3642 S Southeastern Avenue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The practice was previously known as Dale Animal Hospital and has served the Sioux Falls community for more than 25 years under continuous ownership. The clinic operates with a philosophy centered on the human-animal bond, describing its mission as "making a difference in the human-animal bond one interaction at a time." Every decision made at the practice is shaped by family ownership, which the team says allows for a more personal, values-driven approach to care.

The clinic is led by veterinarians including Dr. Byle — who has been caring for patients from puppyhood through end-of-life decisions for nearly two decades according to longtime clients — and Dr. Kim Hoefert, who specializes in exotic and pocket pet species including rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, reptiles, and birds. Faithful Friends also offers a uniquely broad range of integrative therapies, including acupuncture, chiropractic care, therapy laser, and canine massage, making it one of the more distinctive holistic options in the Sioux Falls area. The clinic also provides free exams for pocket pets newly adopted from the Sioux Falls Humane Society.
