East Padden Animal Hospital

East Padden Animal Hospital is top notch! I have two kitties that are older and need special care. East Padden has never let me down. The doctors, techs and front desk staff are incredible! They fully discuss all treatments and financial options with you. This allows you to think things through and make the best decision for your family. You will not be disappointed with the warm and friendly staff or the fantastic care they offer.

Dr. Thompson is wonderful. Very caring and compassionate. Great place for our «children «to get their checkups! :)

I came in on a weekend appt for my grandpup since my regular vet was closed. I walked away very happy, grandpup was all fixed up and my wallet wasn’t in shock. Staff was all very nice, loved the tiger office cat and the fees are very reasonable.

Every employee at East Padden Animal Hospital has taken excellent care of Rudy, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They not only take great care of him physically, they are also very kind and loving. He looks forward to seeing them every time we go there.
This is a great place and I would not take Rudy any place else for care.

First, I would recommend this place to anyone. Dr. Sara is amazing & 99% of the staff are wonderful. They clearly enjoy their jobs & love animals. I would happily have offered 5 stars had it not been for 1 tech, who came out of the back room while my family & 1 other family were seated in the waiting room. The receptionist was on the phone when the tech asked all of us if we had been helped. Which we all felt was odd, because none of us were standing at the counter. Awkward moment. We all said yes, & she turns to my husband and says «you clearly are mad about something, so what can I do for you?» EXCUSE ME? More awkward glances exchanged among all of us in the waiting room, & my husband says «no, I’m not mad», & she continues by saying «no? Well you look mad». The receptionist got off the phone & defused the situation with humor & the offending employee disappeared. To the offending employee – my husband wasn’t mad in any way. The only emotion he was feeling at that moment was sadness, because the last time he was here was when he had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our best friend down to end his suffering. A little empathy, please.

We have been utilizing EPAH since the day Dr. Tracy first opened the doors, and we are as loyal as can be. It doesn’t matter which Vet we work with, we always get excellent, personalized care. We have utilized the laser treatment, and acupuncture that they offer; now chiropractic is an option as well. Awesome clinic is now open 7 days /​week. So amazing!

I came here for a anesthesia dental cleaning on my poodle. It was $ 61 for the pre-​anesthesia blood work (to make sure using anesthesia was safe), and $ 289 for the cleaning. They cleaned my dogs ears and clipped her nails for free while she was under as well. After the procedure they gave me free dental raw hide chews.
I really liked that they let me hold my dog for the 1 – 1.5hrs as she came out of anesthesia. She has separation anxiety and I didn’t want her feeling anxious when she woke up around unknown people.
Another amazing thing was they let me in the back to see her teeth and 2 specific teeth they were worried about, while she was under anesthesia. It was really amazing to get to SEE what they were concerned about instead of them just telling me what they saw.
When I told them that price was a concern, they were super nice and helped me pick the right treatment plan.
I will be back here in 6 months for another cleaning!

We moved here 2 years ago and have a ShihTzu. We found this vet when our puppy started feeling poorly. They have been wonderful in taking care of our dog and getting her to feeling great! They are wonderful in every way from the examination, phone calls, discussing and providing her treatments. We are so glad we found them! We highly recommend them!

This is by far the best vet office I have ever been to. Everyone is absolutely wonderful, the vet is very kind and also patient and gentle. I wouldn’t take my animals anywhere else. The office is very clean as well. Very happy about making my switch to East Padden Animal Hospital!

Hands down the best vet (Dr. Thompson) and animal hospital in the Pacific NW! Thank you EPAH for your attention to details and your unconditional love for all things pet. Our beloved Lucy is in her final days and we are so grateful for everything EPAH has done for her since day one. While this is a very hard time for our family we have found comfort in knowing that EPAH is available for any questions or concerns. Thank you for helping us through this tough time.

Thanks to EPAH for getting our two cats out of a very «sticky situation.» They are feeling much better now. Whew. Thanks to everyone at EPAH for helping us again. The vet and tech knew just what to do, the staff was friendly and helpful as always. Thank you for all you do for our family. Once again EPAH has proven that they are the best around!

Love this place! Just moved back to Vancouver and have been struggling to find a respectable vet. My poor little Yorkie woke up with bad digestive problems and needed to see a vet ASAP. East Padden Vet not only got me in the same day, but when my Yorkie started having bad reactions to the meds they allowed me to come back ASAP. Never had a vet open up their schedule so freely for me before. Both my dogs loved them and the staff was so friendly. Definitely would recommend them.

We took our beloved little Doxie here, they were so kind with her and seem to really care. They are easy to talk to and no pressure. The big thing was, I had noticed in each eye a little «dot» but didn’t know if it was anything. We had to go to an Allergy Specialist for her, but first our regular vet, neither of them noticed anything. When we went to East Padden, the tech noticed the «dots», the vet did a stain and our little Sadie had ulcers in her eyes! They treated it with eye drops and they were healed when re-​checked. We would never have known had they not caught that. We relocated here from Grants Pass where we left a vet office that we truly loved, it has been hard to find another… we’re here to stay at East Padden.

I absolutely love all of the staff here at East Padden!!! They have a genuine love for our pets as they do for their own. You know this is a trusted hospital when a kitty chooses to live there full time. :)
I especially trust Dr. Tracy. She’s got the most kind heart and gentle touch. My most recent visit was with my 8 week old baby bunny. I’ve never seen a vet be so tender and caring. Because of her knowledge and thorough exam, little «Squirrel» the bunny is going to be just fine.

My dog has been a patient at EPAH since he was a puppy — he is now 6 years old. They have helped get him through some bouts with kennel cough and giardia. Although cost isn’t cheap, you get what you pay for — in this case, quality care. My dog (Hunter) seems not to mind seeing the doctor when necessary. He also boards there occasionally, and they give him great treatment — walks several times a day and good food. I highly recommend this vet.

Having a corgi and a cat and having moved to Washington I was glad to have found a wonderful Veteranarian to get my pets health looked after. I would not take them anywhere else and any questions I have regarding my pets current condition or problems encountered are always answered. The staff are always friendly to my pets and myself.

Love Dr. Tracy! She and her staff take time to listen to you and examine your dog. My father, brother, sister, nephew and myself all trust her and her staff to keep our dogs in great health! Would recommend her to everyone I know.

All of the Doctors here are the best around. Highly recommend them. I have been to them for seven months and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I had a very sick Aussie that I took to a lot of vets trying to save him. All the doctors at East Padden went out of there way for the Aussie and me.

We use East Padden for acupuncture for our Heeler. She had reduced ROM in both wrists when we got her, we think from injuries when she was a puppy.
They are so nice. Our dog actually likes going there.

Dr. Sarah is great with our big girl who is 101lbs. She talked so sweet and soft to her. Not one woof out of my girl. All 4 of our animals are care for here.
