    I have been coming here since I moved to WA 5 years ago I…read moremoved out of the area 3 years ago, and I still go here with my 7 pets and drive an hour each way. We have 5 seniors with a variety of healthy issues and we are frequent flyers at the vets to say the least . Dr. Mechur is one of the very best vets I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She is patient and kind and very knowledgeable. She stays after hours and takes the time to know all the ins and outs and lumps and bumps of my family Michaela is the best Vet tech ever. She has the magic touch l. She is able to do blood draws on my cats that previously they would have to be sedated . Faith, Britney , Cat are all top notch at what they do. The front office staff deals with me and all my crazy pet needs on a weekly basis. These people work extremely hard in an industry that is underpaid and under appreciated. I can't begin to express my gratitude to them

    0 out of 5 Stars - Extremely Disappointed…read more I would not recommend Spanaway Veterinary Clinic to anyone. Our puppy received her first vaccine through the breeder's veterinarian. After we purchased her, we brought her to this clinic for a full wellness exam. During that visit, we were told she would need her next vaccine in one week. We scheduled that appointment, but the veterinarian insisted on performing another "follow-up" full exam before administering the vaccine. That would have meant three full exam visits (each around $100) within one month. When we explained that we could not afford to pay for repeated full exams just to receive scheduled vaccines, they eventually waived the additional exam and administered the vaccine. Now our puppy is due for her next set of vaccines in three weeks. On 2/24/2026 at 3:40 PM, when I called to schedule the appointment, I spoke with one of the rudest receptionists I have ever encountered. She informed me that we would again be required to pay for another full "follow-up" exam in order to receive vaccines. When I explained that we only needed the scheduled vaccines and referenced the previous situation, she stated they would not waive the exam this time. I politely asked to speak directly with the veterinarian to better understand the policy. The receptionist refused and instead stated she was going to deactivate our account. The fact that a receptionist feels empowered to cancel a client's account for simply asking questions is extremely concerning. Refusing to allow communication with the veterinarian is unprofessional and unacceptable. We have decided to move our puppy's care to Canyon Road Veterinary Hospital, who is willing to review her records and administer scheduled vaccines without forcing unnecessary repeated full exams. The owner of this clinic should seriously evaluate their front desk professionalism and client communication policies. We will also be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and sharing our experience with other pet owners and breeders so they can make informed decisions. Very disappointed. This is in response to their response: Thank you for your response. However, much of what was stated does not accurately reflect what occurred. First, the individual I spoke with did not identify herself as the hospital manager during the call. Regardless of title, the tone of the conversation was dismissive and unprofessional. Clients should be able to ask reasonable questions about policies and costs without having their account deactivated. It is also inaccurate to state that three different staff members clearly and consistently explained a firm policy requiring two exams. What we were originally told was that our puppy needed her next scheduled vaccine in one week. When we returned, we were then told another full exam was required. Only after we explained our financial concerns was that exam waived. That does not reflect a clearly communicated or consistently enforced policy. We did not refuse medical care for our puppy. We questioned the necessity of repeated full exams within a short time frame after she had already received a breeder exam and a full wellness exam at your clinic. Wanting transparency about medical recommendations and associated costs is not refusing care, it is responsible pet ownership. At no point did we say we intended to administer vaccines ourselves. We stated that if repeated full exams were required every time, we would need to consider transferring care to another clinic. That is a reasonable and honest statement, not grounds for account deactivation. What is most disappointing is that at no point did anyone attempt to work with us to find a reasonable solution. There was no effort to discuss alternatives, payment options, or a clearer explanation of the medical necessity specific to our puppy. Instead of collaborating with us as concerned pet owners, the approach taken was defensive and dismissive. A business that consistently responds to customer concerns by implying the client is wrong rather than listening and problem-solving will eventually struggle. Long-term success comes from professionalism, transparency, and partnership with clients, not from shutting down conversations. The decision to inactivate our account rather than allow a direct conversation with the veterinarian only reinforced our concerns about communication and client care. We stand by our experience. Pet owners deserve respectful communication, clear policies, and a willingness to work together in the best interest of their animals. We have since transferred our puppy's care to another veterinary hospital and wish your clinic the best moving forward.

After putting our cat through a dog-loving veterinarian for 9 years, we finally got an appointment with the Animal Hospital Of Parkland. We were cheerfully greeted by Cynthia and I offered up the zip-lock bag of my cat's poop that was requested in the confirmation email. She accepted my offering with a chuckle as my husband joked about not having donuts to offer. We were early, but were guided to our exam room within 5 minutes of entering. A very friendly gentleman named Vivian greeted us a few minutes later and took some information before the doctor arrived. We had missed our appointment with our groomer over the Thanksgiving holiday so he also needed a nail clipping and Vivian assured us that would not be a problem. Dr. Mark came in and as much as our cat hates going to the doctor, he seemed relaxed as he around this doctor. Both vaccinations went off without a hitch! He trimmed the claws and then Dr Mark took the time to answer any questions we may have had. Since we were paying by credit card, Vivian was able to just ring us up right there in the room and the bill was taken care of. The entire appointment was less than 20 minutes. This is really important because cats hate going to the doctor and we were most grateful for the service and the care at this veterinarian. I highly recommend them and I also want to mention that I see people said they had to pay ahead of time and I did not so I don't know if that is bogus information or not. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did!

I found K9 Grooming through Yelp and I'm so glad I did. We drive 30 minutes to get here and I won't lie, the salon is pricey. It usually costs me around $300 with trip for a standard Aussie and mini Aussie regular groom. But it is absolutely worth it. My dogs are my babies. We have a 6-year-old Aussie we've had since he was a puppy, and we recently added our rescue mini Aussie who is now 8. Our rescue has extreme anxiety from her past trauma, including living in a hoarding situation. The team here treats both of our dogs like family. I've never once worried about the way they're cared for. The salon is spotless. Anytime I walk into a grooming place that smells like urine or feces or is chaotic with constant barking, it's an instant red flag for me. K9 Grooming is completely different. It's clean, calm, and you can even watch your dogs being groomed so there's no mystery about how they're treated. Recently our neighbor warned us about fleas in the area, so I called K9 as a concerned pet mom. They were so helpful. They told me they'd start with a regular bath and, if they found any fleas, they'd do the treatment and call us so we could prep the house. Sure enough, they found a few a went forward with the flea bath. They provided me with helpful information and next steps. I sincerely appreciate the level of care, transparency, and customer service the staff provide. I could never take my dogs anywhere else after coming here.

Australian shepherds have very thick double coats, she requires grooming at least every six weeks. From the front desk, all the way back to the groomers they're always so professional, and Mila is always so extremely eager and happy to go there; that says so much. I've had my fair share of very bad grooming experiences, with this very dog. K9 Design Grooming Salon has changed my perspective and Mila's perspective on grooming experiences. We used to live extremely close to the Salon, but we recently bought a house in Olympia and still make the drive! We love K9 Design Grooming!!
