Been with FVH for 8 years and just moved to a different Vet. I missed an appointment when my wife…read moredied. They didn't know the reason, but they also didn't bother to ask. Then I missed a second appointment for reasons that were my fault. You only get two strikes at FVH. Since then they require me to pay in advance like some kind of bum or they cancel the appointment. And how long will I be in the penalty box? Forever! Also, this "fear free" claim they boast about is none sense. The ask me to sedate my nervous dog before bringing him in. Boy, there's a breakthrough in care ; your pet won't experience fear if he's high as a kite. They even insisted on putting one of my dogs under for a nail trimming! He was sick and woozy all night long. And FVH's response? Take the dog to a pet groomer next time. Lame.

They have a great system here and made my dog feel very relaxed. The staff is always very helpful…read more Glad I found them.

My experience with him was truly amazing again!! He treats your best furry friends as if they are his pets. His care and compassion is remarkable. His staff are also very kind and helpful!! Do not even hesitate for one second when deciding where to take your pets for care here in Bellingham. Just schedule an appointment with Dr Jake Searle. Your pets will thank you for choosing him!

We were with her, her last moments were horrible. I will never forgive them for essentially killing her. Also you might want to know about one of the owners addiction to veterinary drugs - reported on in the Bellingham Herald. I was heartbroken to loose my best friend.

During a routine tooth cleaning the doctor found a problem that must have been there for years that no one else had found- making the dog much more comfortable. Not only is the doctor great but the front staff has also been very helpful. Recently my dog was diagnosed with giardia and I've called several times with complex questions. Every time I'm taken seriously and gotten answers that were thorough and helpful. Our son also takes their dog here. They see a different vet and are also really happy.

I took him in, and the lady behind the counter (I believe Judy is her name) was so kind. I was crying and stressed, worried about Gryffin (my kitty, I've been worried about urinary issues the whole time I've had him and his brother), but she was so sweet, reassuring me he was in good hands, that I'd done the right thing and got him in in time. He had to be kept overnight, but the next morning I called for an update and she was so nice again, walked back to check on him while on the phone with me, and was just overall amazing. Despite living further away, I switched both Gryffin and his brother Dragon's records here, as I am thoroughly impressed with them (more so than I ever was at Nooksack Vet). The payment plan is also a plus, as I'm a full time worker and student who doesn't have a whole lot all at once, so being able to pay the bill off bit by bit has been a huge weight off my shoulders.
