When she heard peanut butter, she came back with a dish of it and bribed Snoopy thru the whole process. He was still wiggly, but there was no hint of aggression. Compassionate care was on display today!

I strongly suggest that you coach your front desk staff on how to extend empathy and kindness. We needed to help our fur baby and not in 2 weeks nor after he was needlessly examined by your Vet. There is always room for an emergency. Front desk should be able to extend that curtesy and kindness. We will never call again nor recommend you as a kind and caring Vet hospital.

Saturday's can be a wait, but during the week before 5pm, they go at a pretty good clip. They have treated my dogs and cats and cried with me while I had to do the worst thing a pet owner can do, put an animal down. I find their prices to be in line with everyone else in town. Most of the office staff is efficient, but sometimes the younger office assistants are a bit slow in helping. We have 3 dogs & a new kitten, and have gone through some illnesses. I'm in there at least once a month, sometimes twice and have met all the vets. They are all efficient and caring. I have never had services pushed on me that I felt were unwarranted.

I just Googled around and found that this clinic was also near my home. I first took in my dog. She was adopted from the shelter and had recently turned one. I took her in for an exam and she needed no vaccines. However, her coat was falling out and it concerned me. I was given some fish oil which greatly helped her coat. I then decided to go ahead and transfer my kitties to this clinic. I brought in Safiyyah and it was a great appointment. All my concerns were addressed. The doctor was very kind and interested in my cat's health. She also recommended a great cat food. Everyone is friendly. I enjoy the atmosphere, even though they are currently renovating. Even other clients are friendly.

I had a great relationship with them when Dr.Howe was there. Then they let him go to a nerve…read moredisorder which was a shame because he was excellent and could have verbally trained some new staff. He was a WONDERFUL VET. Then I started noticing little things that irritated me yet they called me a difficult client. They had treated my two cats. One had diabetes and other issues. This one girl never got along with me from the get go. She had an attituede and apologized for it a couple times, but yet still marked me as a difficult client. Well it is supposed to be an animal hospital...I ask you does an Animal HOSPITAL, have a right to call it's business this when they won't treat pets after business hours even though they have the appropriate equipment to treat them. I had a problem ONE TIME when they decided to treat my fur baby on a SATURDAY. The TECH they sent in to meet me was exadtly that a TECH, not a vet, yet they decided she would be good enough. WRONG....and the charges were astronomical!!! Then one time that I was leaving there I saw the receptionist give this woman the remains of her deceased dog, and just say "HAVE A NICE DAY"..... She was crying. I followed her out to her truck and asked her if she was ok, then she really started crying, and told her it was ok and asked her dog's name. Then I sat there and listened to her tell me stories about him. The poor lady. They should have had someone walk the lady out and listened to her for a few minutes. I couldn't believe it. FINALLY WHAT IT CAME DOWN TO WAS: My KITTY was sick and it looked like she was throwing up blood, i called the clinic and the lady said if you bring her right in the vet can see her, and I told her it would be a few minutes, because i knew it would be hard to get her into her carrier because if she is sick she hides. The girl said as long as your here before noon...and "Oh yes, you will be charged for the visit as an emergency. I got to the clinic and called them and told them I was there, and then they told me I coudn't get in to see her now because we had already made an appt. for MONDAY. I said yes we did as a f/u to today. And you told me that I could get in if i got here before noon. She kept insisting that I could not get her seen. After all the money I spent there. Each visit no matter what it was always costs almost 200.00 and they don't even give out complimentary nail cutting. Dr. Howe used to do that. I mean this business spent millions revampin g the place then raised their rates. I had beeen a client for over 10 years and probabvly put millions into it. And to have this business treat me like my kitty and I didn't matter was just horrible. It makes me wonder if i SHOULD TRUST ANY BUSINESS THAT CATERS TO FUR BABIES IN A NICE ENVIRONMENT. THEY GO THRU STAFF LIKE THEY ARE " disposable goods." THE WHOLE PLACE IS A SCAM FOR MONEY NOW. I had the utmost respect for it when DR. BOUVERETTE they were the initial owners. I can't believe they still own it. Then the vet has the audacity to tell me my kitty is overweight AND IF YOU KNEW HER SHE IS DEFINITELY A HYPOCRITE!!! And her husband worked there. Matter of fact I became a client back when they were first opening and the office looked poorish and they had a space heater. Dr. Bouverette came into meet my kitty and got down on the floor with it, and was petting it and talking so nice then they started upgrading and there were no good vets that would spend five minutes with you and discuss your furbaby. they did a sanitary shave on my baby cuz she has a birth defect and cut her and then tried to downplay it. meanwhile she got an infection. I wouldn't recommend this place if my life depended on it. I wish Dr. Bouverette still was a vet there and SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE. LORI FOROOZANDEH 2015-2025

The first vet said she would recommend the surgery. The following day we didn't receive a call. We called them on day three just to be told they didn't know anything about surgery but would ask the vet surgery about it. We then received a call from the vet tech saying that we need to bring the dog in for a blood sample. On day four we took him in. They drew blood and then said we also needed a urine sample. So we had to take that in on day five. It's a 25 minute drive one way. They do not have proper follow through and are certainly lacking in communication skills. I'm concerned that things will go wrong during the surgery but am already in $300. The surgery will cost $1650.00. It is a simple lypoma removal.

PSA: Northwest Veterinary Clinic…read more I was a loyal client of Northwest Veterinary Clinic -- until I discovered they were listed on PublicSquare, a platform where businesses must sign a values pledge aligning with far-right ideology and anti-DEI messaging. In April, I emailed the clinic to ask a simple question: Did you knowingly sign this pledge? I hadn't yet seen their reply when I called today about a sudden concern with my dog. I was transferred, and the phone was answered: "This is Amber, where do you want your records sent?" I was caught off guard -- I hadn't even mentioned changing providers. I clarified that I was calling about my dog, and Amber replied, "You were sent an email." Still confused (as it had been three months since I reached out), I said I wasn't sure what she was referring to. Then it clicked. I said, "Oh -- is this about the PublicSquare listing? I haven't read the email yet, so are you confirming you knowingly agreed to that pledge?" Amber did not confirm. Instead, she said I had "made accusations" and that "we're not a good fit." She refused to answer whether or not they signed the values pledge. I later read the email, which included this line: "It's none of your damn business." Let's be clear: I never said I was cutting ties -- they made that decision for me without discussion. They refused to clarify or deny their involvement in the platform. They responded to a respectful question with hostility, deflection, and zero concern for my pet. If you value inclusion, transparency, and basic professionalism -- take your business elsewhere. Because it's clear: they've already decided who they do and don't want as clients.

This has less to do with them and more to do with the current and future state of veterinary medicine. I am an old man shouting at clouds. When I was young I went to Dr. Gordon. He lived and worked on Gordon road, a road named after his family. I doubt Dr. Gordon went to formal vetrinary school. My guess is someone handed him a pair of rusty tin snips and told him to caterate that bull. A few hundred times later and the locals called him a vet. Dr. Gordon did a fine job. He gave all animals the same shot of the same medicine, with the same needle, out of a big glass jar. I am not sure what was in the jar. I am not sure Dr. Gordan knew what was in the jar. I think the word Medicine was hand written in sharpie on the glass jar. Animals lived and died just like today, but he only charged ten or twenty dollars for his services. The Whelanns graduated from MSU after 8 to 12 years of schooling. This schooling cost about $60,000 a year plus the income they lost while in school. Over the course of aproximatly 10 years the actual economic cost of their education is well north of a million dollars per vetrinarian. To justify the over two million dollar expenditure they need to earn at least a premium of 10% of that, or $200,000 a year just to pay the student loans on that capital expenditure. They also bought the Northwest Vetrinary Clinic book of business as well as the buildings and property. They also have to pay what I estimate to be a staff of 6 or so full time employees. They use the best couriers and the best labs to do the best diagnostic tests in the area, They would also like to earn a reasonable and fair living. I generally see only one customer car out front every time I drive by. Think about that. One single customer bearing the brunt of all those amortized costs. Is it any wonder a vet visit costs $1000 a pop? Two pets and you are looking at $2000 for a 15 minute visit. I am fairly rich and I have cut way back on vetrinary care for my pets. My dogs still live 13 years of very happy healthy living, with or with out vetrinary care, like they always have. Recently people have been turning in their pets to animal kill shelters in record numbers because of the high cost of vetrinary care. Is it really better for most pets to be neglected or killed so that the pets of the very rich get incredibly outstanding vetrinary care? Once again the Whelan's are wonderful vets. This is more of a discourse on the state of modern vetrinary medicine. Your turn Whelan's.
