Was visiting from out of town and had a minor emergency with 1 of our pups, lacerated foot. Facility was clean, staff was great, Vet was clear and presented an acceptable plan. Dog got 2 stitches and we were out the door in 2 hrs.... Excellent experience all around

They were incredibly kind and patient and attentive. I didn't feel rushed or dismissed with any of my 7 million questions. They were all great. The worst place to end up in the middle of the night on vacation but I don't think I could have ended up anywhere better. I'm really not sure why there are so many negative reviews about the cost. I felt it was more than reasonable. and as far as wait times... it's a 24 hour emergency clinic they are as quick as they can be.

Anna Parker is the most empathetic & honest veterinarian I have met. We had to put our little cat down which was a horrifying experience on its own but Anna, from the moment we walked in showed nothing but care and compassion for our kitty and myself. I’ve been to the vet quite a few times in the past 2 years and Anna, by far, is the most patient, kind and understanding. It’s obvious she has a job she loves and genuinely cares for people and our pets. Thank you Anna, you are appreciated!!! RIP Tinky, you will forever be missed and loved🩷🩷🩷

Last night, I had the misfortune of needing emergency care for our 14 year old boxer. Our boy. He started cluster seizures at 0300am. I rushed all the way from Lynden with my boy. I carried him inside, still convulsing and no questions were asked. The receptionist rushed out with a gurney, instantly. They rushed him to the back with the vet. Unfortunately, as I suspected, he was beyond saving. I had to let him go. They rolled him into the room so I could say goodbye. The doctor put him to sleep, peacefully as I kissed and hugged him. The staff there was kind and empathetic and caring. Heartbreaking experience but they made it as stress free and supportive as possible. Love you, my precious boy and thank you.

BEWARE DO NOT BUY PRESCRIPTIONS FROM THEM, THEY UPCHARGE THE DRUGS BY 5X'S. I took my standard poodle in to them as she had an ear infection and the vet we go to, Fairhaven Vet Clinic, didn't have appointments for after work. I received 3 standard and usually cheap medicines for ear infections: Animex ointment $91-Epi-Optic ear wash $65 and 3 prednisone tablets for $29. The price at Chewy pharmacy, $19, $21 and $6 for 30 tablets. I expect somewhat of an upcharge but 5x. That is immoral in my book.
