Community Pet Hospital, Washington

Come here if you want someone to give you the runaround and take your money! Our cat has been having some issues with her appetite and digestion, which has gradually but quickly gotten worse. We took our dog here all the time, so we took our cat here too. The receptionists are all very nice for the most part. when we brought our cat in, they took her in a separate room for about 45 minutes, said they were giving her an exam. They came back and said she had a lump and said they’d run tests on it and said it was “probably just fat”, then they ran more tests. we probably paid almost $1000 in blood tests, urine tests, and fecal tests, just with two/three visits. Our cat pretty much stopped eating entirely. We told the vet this, and they said we would need to run more tests. these tests would take weeks to come back. Honestly, we just wanted them to be straight up with us, tell us if it was bad, we don’t want to let our cat suffer. But it just never felt like they were being clear, they just wanted to do more tests and not give us anything to help the current situation, it felt like they were being secretive and doing anything to get more money from us. Eventually, after all the back and forth, we found a different vet that squeezed us in for an ultrasound, and they found 3 tumors within 15 minutes of looking at our cat, compared to the more than an hour we spent at community vet hospital. The new vets were surprised that they couldn’t find the other lumps and that they didn’t give anything to help our kitty cat, even after testing the most visible lump. The new vets gave us an on-site administered treatment. nothing that’s a guaranteed life saver, but something to give us a small chance. Most importantly, the new vets were honest with us about the situation, not just continuing to run tests that would take time we do not have. It only ever felt like they were looking for the best way to make the most money and break our hearts even more at the same time. For an emergency hospital, they had no sense of urgency. Avoid this one

I had to come in last night with my three kids to experience probably one of the hardest losses of our lives with our dog Luna. To the women who were on staff last night.. you are angels. Thank you for being so gentle and loving and caring. Just a huge thank you again and again. Thank you for being so gentle with my dog and my family. Blessings to each and every one of you. 🙏🥹❤️❤️❤️

We recently lost our puppies and had to make the hard decision to put them down , this staff is very caring and passionate about what they do and I could not recommend a better vet to take your fur babies to. I would like to thank the team for this beautiful letter I received in the mail today you guys are wonderful . 🤍

I had to take my kitties here recently for an emergency. I was most impressed that the vet laid out the treatment options and pricing for me and actually directed me to the path that was best for my cats and it happened to be the least expensive treatment option. Emergency vets get such a bad rap for price surging and overcharging and my experience was quite the opposite. They called the next day to follow up and make sure everything was fine. Thank you for your kindness, care and treatment of my fur babies.

We have taken our pets here since I was a kid. A few days ago I lost my best friend Cargo who had been with me for over half my life. It was one of the hardest days for me. I made the decision to take him in and have him put down so he wouldn’t suffer long because it was clear his time had come. I just want to give a huge thank you to the staff that was working that night. Everyone showed us and Cargo comfort and compassion in a most difficult time. They took him right away and ensured to act quickly so we could say goodbye and end his suffering. It’s never easy but I’m so glad we have a hospital close by that was able to help. Lastly I would like to thank everyone who took a bit of time out of their day to sign a card and send it to us. It really meant a lot to my family. Thank you all so much!
