We have been taking our animals to Alaska Veterinary Clinic for about 10 years. We have been there both for normal health care, emergencies and boarding. Our animals have been cared for by a number of the doctors and staff and each time they have been very helpful in keeping us up to date on what was happening as well as how to deal with the animals when they went home. (also when we had to have one elderly kitty euthanized due to issues well past help) There staff, at both the front desk and the 'back' have take time to explain, and or help us needed. I have never had anything but polite and patient assistance, even when overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals and people in the waiting area. We highly recommend the clinic. read more

The best Vet in town. Bar none. Have been going to them for years and will never change. I trust them with my babies and they have always been right on with their diagnosis. Very excellent staff and doctors. read more

Super nice and helpful! Everything seemed clean, everyone was friendly and my puppy loved her vet. I am so glad we chose this place!

I always enjoy taking my pet to this clinic. The staff are friendly and carefully handle my dog during check-ups etc. They are always thrilled to see her and show her lots of love while she is there. read more

We love Alaska Veterinary Clinic. Our dog, Ruby, has gone there since she was just 6 weeks old. She was a foster puppy rescue and was spayed and given her first round of shots there. And after we adopted her at 8 weeks old, we continued to go to Alaska Veterinary Clinic because we loved their care and service. They are always so nice to Ruby, always available for questions, give her lots of treats and love at her visits, and have fit her in for some minor emergencies she's gotten herself in to - bees, hurt leg, etc. Highly recommend. read more

I took my dog there the other day for shots. They hurt my dog when they took his temperature and then rather than trying to calm him they held him down for the shots. This was absolute torture for my dog. Before this my dog had never screamed at a vet appointment. I will never take my dog there again. read more

When we moved to Anchorage and needed to find a Veterinarian ASAP I was very grateful to have ended up at Alaska Veterinary Clinic. Everyone there was extremely nice and were knowledgeable about the patients that were being treated. They were very good about keeping me informed and when my dogs surgery went late the staff was friendly and instead of trying to get out and go home they settled in and shared there own pet stories. read more

it is easy to get an appointment and everyone is so nice. I have seen Dr Pala and Dr Heron and they both seem to know a lot about pups and seem to care a good deal. Mitchell and Kaitlin are also very knowledgeable and caring. went to another vet clinic in town for a second opinion as my pup has a sort of stupefying problem, but definitely prefer AVC. read more

Awful staff, uncaring, rude and shameful, not the kind of place when you are concerned for your pet you want to go to, never again!

Great place to take your pet. Staff is always gracious and the veterinarians are very knowledgeable and helpful.

We had an urgent matter and my little puppy needed a vet. They got her in and took care of her like she was their own. The clinic is very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. They got us in and out quickly, got us the medicine our puppy needed and even gave us a freezer pack to keep it cold during our flight back home. Nice people and very competent staff. I was truly relieved, as I had never used them before. We'd recommend this clinic for anyone with a fur baby they want top notch care for. read more

There likely could be Veterinarians in town who do a good job. There is no one better however, then Alaska Veterinary Clinic (AVC). From your call for a reservation to your appointment and follow through, AVC offers outstanding service. When people call and ask where we take our pets we always say AVC. WE ALWAYS GET A CALL BACK ABOUT WHAT A GREAT CLINIC IT IS after our friends take their pets to this clinic. It doesn't get any better. RL read more

I think that their Comprehensive Packages are really a brilliant and affordable way to serve the community and our pets. Our animals get the basic care they need and we get a set price. My dog and I have been treated very well here and I trust them with her. She's had surgery and I was kept in the know throughout the entire process. They trim nails complimentary, they don't charge to pull files. Follow up appts.are included for free so that your animal gets the care it needs. I recommend AVC to everyone I know read more

I am from out of town and my schnauzer needed surgery for bladder stones. We had taken him to the vet at JBER where all his xrays and blood work was done. AVC gave me a rough estimate over the phone for surgery which was really reasonable considering some of the quotes I received. The vet who saw my dog Kelly was awesome! All the staff was great, the wait time was more than reasonable and my dog is doing great. He has to go back in the next couple of days to have his stitches out. I highly recommend this vet, quality care, reasonable fees, and appointment availability was exceptional..! read more

Ragnar is having a tear duct issue. We called and got in the next day. The front desk was very friendly and helpful in getting our records coordinated from another clinic. The vet and vet tech were very kind and loving to Ragnar. They gave us very good info about the problem and he is in there today getting his tear ducts cleared out. I have been there probably 5 times and each time has been a great experience. read more

awful. my little chihuahua got attacked by a big dog and when I called and said that the incident happened this past weekend and he was still not getting better I was basically told that's not an emergency and they don't have time to see him. Vet care is spendy so I'm glad that I found out how lousy this place is before I spent any money with them. read more

This place is one of the best vet clinics I've had my dogs seen at. Front desk and doctors are extremely nice, caring and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

My dog is 7 years old, and I have been taking him to see a vet at least once a year since he was born. In all those years I have never seen a vet handle him with such indifference. If you love your pet do not take it here. read more

The staff do well enough. The problem I've been having is that is *smells* in the waiting room like a kennel. I've been taking pets to this clinic for over 10 years and prior to Dr. Froeschle retiring, it NEVER smelled like this. Not very professional. If it doesn't get better before I have to take my pets in for their annuals in 2014, I will have to find a different clinic. read more

Used to love this clinic however last 2 experiences have been horrible! The staff at the front is beyond horrible and rude. Received a reminder in the mail that my dog was due for a checkup and shots. When I called I found out my vet had retired and I was scheduled with one of the others, Dr. Campbell. When she came in the room she was aggressive and abrassive to say the least! Lecturing me about my dog needing a cleaning when I expressed I had concerns about my 6 pound dog going under anesthia... Her response obviously we dont want your dog to die and we try not to have that happen but "shit happens'..... Wow!!!! Horrible bed side manner and she needs to take it down about 10 notches. I also posted a comment to their facebook page but of course they control that 'enviornment" and only want the "good' on their.... Dr. Campbell nor the office manager bothered to pick up the phone and call me when I expressed my displeasure with the vet.... Between the rude staff and the abrassive vet I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone!!!! SO sad that its gone so downhill I just loved Dr. Woolridge! read more

We've been coming to this vet clinic for over 30 years. Our dogs always loved it and it felt like family. We noticed a difference last year and our pet appointments this year confirmed our fears...it is not the same anymore. The clinic has changed hands before but it was barely noticeable. This time the vet who owned it sold to an out of state company and the staff is visibly different. I realize that change takes time but this was our third appointment since last year and it is worse not better. We waited quite awhile past our appointment time which never bothered me before. This time it was uncomfortable sitting there. Our vet was knowledgeable and seemed nice but even the vet assistant who asked us questions in the exam room was brisk & barely made eye contact. Only two familiar faces (Mitchell and Effy) welcomed our pets and made us feel appreciated. The remainder of the staff was hurried and not smiling. The main reason I always loved this clinic was the friendly, warm, confident feeling it gave me. What made them special is gone. read more

Had a "panic in the streets attack" when my male Boxer, Giddeon came inside with his paw draining blood all over and limping. They said come right in. He bled all over the car on the way there. When we got there the bleeding had stopped. He had torn the cover of one toe nail completely off. They cleaned and bandaged his boot and suggested booties; which I will get him. He loves the attention his owie is getting him and doesn't chew at bandage at all. I got to meet the new Vet who does exotics. I have a large collection and was just wondering if there was a Vet I would trust in town and a broken toe brought us together at the best clinic in town. I have been coming to this clinic for close to 20 years and didn't relish the job of looking for a new one and now I don't have to. Dr. Woolridge is going in for foot surgery so I hope everyone will keep him in their thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. read more
