Skagit Animal Clinic

"I've been taking my pets to Skagit Animal Clinic for over 30 years. The doctors and staff are exceedingly professional and helpful. I've gone there for everything from bringing in a new furry addition to the family--to end of life decisions. I find the staff knowledgeable, caring and empathetic when making hard decisions about the care of your pet. They answer questions straight forward (which I appreciate) and, if available, give alternative care options with pros/cons of each. They also give you the estimated cost of all treatments so you can shop around and make an informed decision or work your budget to accommodate it. They don't pressure you, and understand money is tight for everyone right now. I would recommend Skagit Animal Clinic to anyone who asks!"

"I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate the kindness and patience from the staff here. They take all my phone calls and questions with such grace and empathy. They are also super quick to get us in if we need and are so knowledgeable about ways to handle any issues or concerns we have with our animals. Your pets will love it here and so will you!"

"Don't go here if you need a specialist. They'll say they can get their on call specialist but really you'll just be wasting 4 days and then they refer you to the most expensive specialist in the area. Luckily we found a specialist in tacoma for $6400 their recommended place wanted $12k"

"I wanted to like this place, was referred here by family, but the red flags just kept coming.... they didn't have enough staff or doctors to get appointments in a reasonable timeframe or keep anything like an on-time schedule. Call-backs take days or weeks and the staff were super unhelpful and downright rude when I tried to advocate for my dog! When all we needed was a medication refill, it took them over a week to call back and tell me that they "couldn't do it" because they didn't have an account with the right place and they refused to help with any other way to get the meds. When I asked to speak to the manager, I was told that they were on vacation and there was no backup person and that no one would get back to me in 24 hours even if I asked to speak to a doctor. I cannot express how unhelpful, uncaring and rude they were about this whole process. We're going back to our old vet. The grass really is NOT greener on this side of the fence!"

"I so badly wanted to love this place. The front desk ladies that did the initial appointment were great! 5 star for them! As for as the veterinarian and the assistant, they get -0 stars from me. They don’t know how to handle anxious patients and ones that bark out of nervousness. The wellness plan they offer was very misleading. I was educated by another veterinarian that there is a totally separate class that veterinarians/vet assistants take to handle VERY anxious animals. I don’t think they took that class. I wish they would have loved my dog as much I as I do. It’s hard to find people that truly love their jobs no matter the circumstances of the patient or just in general. The only advice I have is this, treat every dog that comes to your location as your own."
