When the info was given to us, she was more worried about money. She held a interac fob in front of us like it was a dog toy. We were given options of surgery for our dog. It was going to cost just about $5000 with only a 50/50 chance of survival. She made it seem like they were the only vets that could do this surgery. Unless we went to the states to get it done. Then she held the interac fob in our faces. Then "Dr Crystal" told us that the other option was to put the dog down with a cost of $500 plus the cost of cremation. Then she continued to hold the interac fob in front of us. She made it seem like it was all about money. And not the health and surgery for our dog. They wouldn't even budge on the cost of surgery. "Dr. Crystal" forced us into putting our dog down. Our family dog. I'll never take or support this veterinarian or pet hospital again. Even after we put the dog down we were asked to see our dog one last time. After about 30 seconds...there was "Dr. Crystal" with her interac fob. Just waiting to get paid. It was disgusting on there attitudes and service. Totally disgusted with "Dr. Crystal". You should be ashamed.

They have a friendly staff, top-notch service at decent service prices usually reserved for a higher, competitive area. We took both our dogs for their annual checkups.

Well, the folks were very professional - came out to greet us and took our dogs for their check-ups (COVID conscience). The dogs came out, tails waggin' and happy. We got consulted on a couple of findings we were already aware of but needed further guidance on. The vet was patient and explained everything perfectly. We were very pleased when we saw the bill - very comparable to what we were paying back in Texas. We appreciate all the great service and are happy to have Echo Ridge as our "go to" for pet medical needs.

As if you are a terrible person and not worthy of owning a pet you cannot afford it instead of vets overcharging passing judgment from an artificial moral high ground. charge Thousands for something you can cure at walmart for $10.59. and they 100% know it. My experience at Selkirk veterinary was brutal they force you to pay exorbitant fees and even more for "after hours" weekends if you cannot affords that they charge you as much to put your beloved pet down with a good dose of judgment and a delightful sympathy card. Pet owners are not he problem, Greedy veterinarians are and the new generation is so far from the old horse doctors as you can get. Its business your pet is a number how much they care depends on where the decimal point is located if you cannot afford their absurd fees you should not have pets. Its never they charge too much or demand 100% payment up front. Your pets a dollar sign to Selkirk vet. Worst experience Ive ever had with a vet and Ive had pets n livestock for 45+ years.

I am writing this review to document my personal experience so other pet owners can make an…read moreinformed decision. My dog, Koa, was boarded at this facility on two occasions: July 3-5 and July 10-14. I cannot determine during which stay he became ill. When I picked him up on July 14, he was noticeably lethargic and not acting like himself. Later that evening, his condition declined rapidly. He became disoriented, was unable to stand to go outside, and his temperature measured 106°F. He was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic and admitted immediately. Over the next several days, Koa's condition was described as critical. His white blood cell count was dangerously low, he continued to spike high fevers despite continuous fluids and cooling measures, and he required round-the-clock hospitalization. Multiple veterinary teams repeatedly prepared me for the possibility that he might not survive. I was told more than once that his prognosis was very guarded and that we needed to be prepared for the worst. He underwent extensive diagnostic testing, including imaging and a bone marrow biopsy, and ultimately required transfer to Washington State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital for ICU-level and internal medicine care. He remained hospitalized for nearly a week. The drive to WSU was approximately an hour and a half each way, and I traveled whenever possible just to see him during limited visiting hours, not knowing if each visit might be my last. Despite exhaustive testing, no definitive source of illness was identified. Koa ultimately survived due to aggressive medical intervention, including prolonged steroid therapy and the advanced care provided by the critical care and internal medicine teams at Washington State University. His total medical expenses exceeded $12,000. The owner of the boarding facility was contacted on the morning of July 15 by my boyfriend to inform her of the situation and to ask whether any other dogs had been ill during that timeframe, as this information could have assisted with veterinary diagnostics. Although I am the legal owner of the dog and the individual listed on all veterinary and boarding paperwork, the facility owner never contacted me directly by phone or email. I would have expected direct communication with the registered owner during a medical emergency of this severity. To this day, she has never reached out to me personally. Koa survived, but his recovery was long and difficult. He required months of steroid therapy with significant side effects, including excessive thirst, increased urination, and loss of bladder control--none of which he had experienced previously. Initial attempts to taper him off steroids resulted in serious complications requiring further medical intervention. He ultimately required additional long-term medication and ongoing veterinary monitoring. The emotional distress of nearly losing a family member after trusting a facility to care for him is something I would not wish on anyone. Beyond the medical crisis itself, the lack of direct communication with me as the registered owner was particularly difficult. I am not making claims of legal fault or causation. I am sharing my experience. Pets are family, and facilities entrusted with their care carry a significant responsibility. I strongly encourage anyone considering boarding here to ask detailed questions about illness monitoring, emergency response procedures, and communication expectations. I sincerely hope others take the time to think carefully before entrusting their animals to this boarding facility.

However, when asked for tracking information (several days after the funds for shipping were sent/received) Sarah stated in an email that the courier/shipping company she uses 'does not' have tracking numbers. That sounded strange to me, so I called the company. As I was able to tell them where the shipment was originating from and where it was going, In less than 2 minutes they were more than happy to supply me with the tracking number and the weigh bill information. Unfortunately the lack of professionalism continued and the crates were not shipped In a timely manner. Blame was placed wholly on the courier service and I am left wondering what to believe. I personally would not recommend purchasing from the store, transparency and honesty go a long way In todays day and age, and neither of those things were apparently a priority AFTER the purchase was made. I have no issues waiting for items, however the 12 days for the shipment to be couriered 85 km (with a ferry ride) is rather excessive to me, Unless otherwise stated.
