We recently moved to the Tumwater area from another state. We first tried to make an appointment with an animal hospital a little closer to our home for a suspected UTI (blood in urine), but they did not have availability for 3 weeks. I expected they would have attempted to squeeze us in considering the urgency, but no such luck. I then called Deschutes Animal Clinic and they were able to squeeze us in same day. They were very clear on the estimates, choices and procedure up front. They even provided printouts of everything we discussed with more details. Dr. Smith was friendly, helpful and professional. We found our new vet for our 3 dogs. Highly recommend.

This is my sister's dog's vet and the staff is friendly. We had an emergency and walked in and it cost about $400 for X-rays and examination. It took a couple of visits and our dog is still dying because she's old, but they've helped us to buy a little more time for her. If you can make a same day appointment then definitely do that, since those follow up appointments cost less than $60 doing that, which would've been nice to know. Anyway, it's a friendly office, the pets coming in to visit are nice, and the place is a Pokegym, which is great for me.

They are not my current vet but we're the vets for a couple of previous cats for a long time (maybe 15 years for one). I didn't leave them for any reason - I just didn't have pets for a few years and then when I adopted again, they had appointments at south sound which is closer and has also been great. I did need an asap appointment recently and deschutes got us in quicker. Great experience just as I remembered.
