“I visited North End Pet Hospital to establish care for my dog and was really impressed with the professionalism and service from all of the staff at this clinic. Everyone was super friendly, helpful, and the appointment ran very smoothly. They were so sweet when caring for my dog. I'd highly recommend this place if you are looking for a great vet for your pet!”

“I've been taking my fur baby's here for 25 years. This team is absolutely the best! Always so kind, caring and friendly. They are not just great veterinarians, techs and receptions they'll are friends.”

“I am very happy with the compassionate knowledgeable care , love given by the staff at Commencement Bay Animal Hospital. I am very happy I have switched my dog and cat to this office . DVMSullivan has given her patients and family the time and complete support compassion n love n dedication of her job you would expect from a great DVM she will get right on the floor with my big guy hes a lab mix. My animals adore her. So do I all I have to say to my dog is were going to his vets ifc n he's in the car. My dog not only loves his DVM he also loves his techs with the tasty treats nice belly rubs. He loves the front end receptionist Michelle bunches n the others they are all very kind . His Momma n Sister Cat love all the staff also. This staff is super efficient they do what they are going to do pretty quickly and are very friendly about it. I've never encountered a rude or unkind member of this vet office. They let you know pricing on proceedures. They aren't out to price gouge you they truly do care for your animals. I'm truly glad I was referred here . My animals n I have been very happy. I would recommend Commencement Bay Animal Hospital.”

“Amazing staff, everyone makes you feel welcome and you can tell they’re going to treat you and your animals with care. Treated my animal urgently and apologized for a delay for only waiting 10 minutes (so short compared to other clinics). Transparent and cooperative about pricing to fit yours and your pets needs as best they can. 100% recommend”

“I’m not one to leave reviews but I couldn’t not leave a review after my experience. The other night my 2 year old beagle got sick and was coughing almost every 2 minutes and hacking up a white foam. I kinda figured it was kennel cough. But it was so persistent and sounded so violent I was pretty concerned. The urgent care vet centers couldn’t get him in until almost 12 hours later and wanted 250 dollars just to see him. I waited and called around. Most vets didn’t pick up but when I called union avenue vet hospital, they picked up right away. They had an opening about 30 minutes from when I called them so I drove over and they checked my dog out. They tell you price quotes before they do anything and don’t push any unnecessary testing to jack up your bill. They were professional, kind, efficient, and affordable. They reached out to see how my dog is doing and I’m happy to say he is much better! Happy to have found an honest and good veterinary clinic. I’ll be bringing my pets here every time.”

“We brought Scooter in for his annual checkup and shots. The person at the front desk was very friendly, Dr. Johnson’s assistant was very thorough and helped Scooter not to be scared and we were so impressed with Dr, Johnson, not only was she professional but her love for dogs was very evident - she sat on the floor with Scooter making him feel at ease. She was very thorough with her exam and questions and explained everything to us. Definitely very happy with Soundview Veterinary Hospital! Pat and David Reinhart”

“I love the service this place offers. I am a low income person and I have used this company several times. My cats needed to be fixed and they were wonderful. I am a caregiver and I have sent my clients to this organization. They accept the spay/neuter coupons from tacoma human society. The human society voucher is first come first serve and as funds are available but even with out that help they are very great price. I only had one problem with a new puppy I had adopted he is a very nervous and scared dog they could not neuter him because he needed to be on anti anxiety medication and I had to get him fixed with help from pasado.”

“Best vet I’ve gone to. My lab was extremely nervous at his other vet and he had no problem at Button. They were so understanding with him. Would highly recommend!”

“I am grateful for how attentive the vet and her assistant was to our furry companion Papito, who happens to be a rat. He has been very I’ll for 2 weeks and unfortunately I had a hard time finding a vet clinic that would see him. Thankfully the staff at this clinic made it possible for him to be seen right away and handled him so lovingly and genuine concern. I was very pleased with the experience.”

“I don’t leave reviews often, but when something needs to be said, it needs to be said. I can’t express enough how awesome this place is. Every single person I’ve had any interaction with has been outstanding. Dr. Long is the best vet I’ve ever taken an animal to and shows genuine care for my dog. Everyone else working there is also very genuine, caring, and makes the whole experience much easier for my little guy. I would highly recommend this place.”

“I came here not knowing id walk out in hysterics. My cat had xrays that were suspect of showing lung cancer. I went in their will all the optimism of the world and left hyperventilating and heart broken. The initial exam was really pricey but overall, the vet was able to give me the terminal news without making me do unneeded tests. Nothing they could test her for would cure her and thats what the vet let me know plainly. I’ve read on here about the front receptionist desk being very cold, and I would say I have a much different experience. Kendra where ever you are, you deserve a raise for how kindly you treated me. I went in alone to the appointment and i could not stop hyperventilating or crying once i found out. I dont think ive ever been that upset in public and everyone treated me with compassion. Especially Kendra. She took my payment, left the room and came back in and asked to hug me. It was really nice to be comforted by a stranger when my whole world was falling apart. I never really know how to act in these situations, and they were all very supportive. I hope to never come back here but my experience was in hindsight of the horrible news, was awesome.Rest in peace to my Binxe baby 2013-2024”

“My 11-year old puppy was throwing up and very sick for 2 days. I called around to all the urgent cares and pet hospitals and nobody could see her. I called Tacoma Animal Hospital close to 5pm and they were able to squeeze her in next day. I’m so thankful because I was really worried. When your pet is so sick it is very frustrating not being able to get care for them. The service was wonderful and my dog really responded well to Dr Black. I will definitely bring her back for normal checkups and any future health emergencies- which I’m sure will be many especially with her getting up in age.They were very good giving options for treatment and explaining what/why and what his priority was factoring in the cost of all the tests, X-rays etc. based on her symptoms. Dr Black listened.A vet visit is always going to cost a lot, I’m thankful I didn’t have to sell a kidney to pay for her labs and medications :) if I’m giving a lot of money for my pets medical costs, at least it can be a pleasant experience.The follow up was also good - I tried calling but phones weren’t connecting when I pressed 2 to connect to someone, I sent a message via the pet portal and Dr Black called me back within an hour. That is the type of service I will write a google review about! Thank you”

“I have been taking my pets to VCA Pacific Ave for over 30 years. Everyone who works there is kind, professional and knowledgeable. I’ve never had a bad experience with VCA. I brought my two dogs Juno and Falkor in today and had another wonderful experience. Juno has severe anxiety, especially when vaccines are administered. James was AMAZING! I have never seen Juno so calm and happily distracted when a shot was given, James has a gift! Thank you for making both pup’s experiences pleasant. Dr. Hurtado was also great! I appreciate the entire VCA staff. If you’re looking for a vet for your animal family members I highly recommend VCA! Additionally, their emergency care is top notch. We never want to find ourselves in the position that requires an emergency visit, but knowing VCA is there gives me so much peace of mind. The care and wellness of our pets is their top priority.”

“I took my baby here to have his teeth extracted. They were very good to both of us and made me comfortable to leave him there in their care. And price was fair! Thank you!”

“If you like straight to the point answers with confidence in what he’s doing because he’s been a Vet loving animals for 48 years- this is the place. He took my extremely ill dog in when all other Vet’s were still “appointment only” / “wait in your car” and the emergency hospitals were at capacity. This wasn’t my Vet, yet we were welcomed with open arms, treated as if we were and given immediate care. He knew right away what was wrong and did a blood test to confirm/rule anything else out. My dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis and was back to herself within days. I just hope Dr. Walia never retires- it’s hard to find Dr’s with this kind of care anymore.”
