I took my sweet boxer, Lucy, to Dr. Bob and I will never forget how much he and his sweetheart daughter, Vikki, helped her.

I was in a quandary. My dog, Cinder, needed to have 4 stitches removed from the tip of his ear. He had been in a tussle with my son's dog and was taken to a vet in Tacoma while we were out of state. Since I live in East Olympia I called our regular vet and was told Cinder couldn't be seen for 2 weeks and that I should take him back to the vet in Tacoma who put the stitches in. That vet who charged well over a thousand dollars up front would charge an additional fee to remove the stitches. I randomly called Dr. Gilpin and was seen within the hour. There was no charge for the removal of Cinder's stitches. We have just found a new vet.
