I know something so simple, but I walked out that morning feeling more informed and confident about caring for my little one. To the assistant, sorry I forgot your name but YOU WERE AMAZING! I don't doubt, you love your job!

I've been taking my kitties here since moving to the Valley a couple years ago, and have always…read morebeen more than impressed by their service and amazing, loving care. Recently, my littlest cat was acting very weird and stopped eating over a period of a few days. I thought it might be because of the heat wave we were having at the time, but when she got increasingly lethargic and started hiding, I got worried and called Chuckanut Valley. They got us right in! After quite a bit of poking and prodding, not to mention a full panel of tests, it was determined that my cat was likely just hot. It was a pretty expensive diagnosis, but I was relieved it wasn't something worse. The doctors and staff here are always so loving and kind. And while their prices are definitely premium (aren't all vets?) I do appreciate they have prescription meds on hand when I need them for my pets, and offer discounts if you offer full diagnostic panels. I am so happy to have found them!

We boarded our dog for several days while we were out of state. Before our trip, we were never…read moreinformed that boarding was at a different location than daycare, which caused unnecessary stress at drop off. During our vacation, communication was extremely poor. After seeing a concerning photo of our dog appearing to have an altercation with another dog, we tried repeatedly to get updates. We had to keep reaching out ourselves and ultimately had to ask the owner to send us a photo because we had gone days without seeing or hearing anything about him. At pickup, we were initially charged the wrong amount. We had also paid for an exit bath, but were told it had been removed because they weren't sure whether it had been done. When we got our dog into the car, he smelled strongly like he had not been bathed at all. The most disappointing part was the way our concerns were handled. Rather than acknowledging them or apologizing, the interaction felt defensive and dismissive. We won't be boarding our dog here again. Communication, organization, and customer service all need significant improvement.

When I pick him up I watch them cleaning and disinfecting everything which always reassures me that it's a priority. He did catch an illness that another dog brought in, but they were quick to let me know, quarantine all the doggies and verified he was clean when he came back to join his friends a few weeks later.

Best feeling ever: just called Huck, my 18mo fox hound rescue, off a full on deer chase with a…read moresimple "Come! No. Huck Come!" And stood there amazed as he CHOSE to veer off in a long arc toward me, coming in full tilt to a sit. I am still sort of in shock that he gave me priority. When I called he was 40 yards away from me and within four car lengths of the deer and he is a focused high drive dog. Thank you to our trainer Greg Houle. Never in my wildest dreams did I think he would stop chasing a deer that he had an excellent chance of catching and come to me because I asked him to. I am so grateful for In The Flow K-9 training, that he came, yes, but the WAY he came to me, eyes shining, leaving what was probably his heart's desire, full of happiness that I had called. He was 100% into the next thing that we were going to do togethe r, focused and looking up at me for direction. Making that bond between you and your dog the "something big", the "pay off" for your work, is what Greg's teaching is all about from the very first minute. I am 70 years old. I have had many dogs and used many methods to get to where I thought I wanted to be with them. This method is like the place where all the paths meet....like the pearl in the oyster.Over the last two years I have watched Greg guide little kids, teens, adults, seniors, into better relationship with their canine companions. He just kind of walks into the mess you've made with each other and tidys up the room! Everyone feels better. Everyone does better. Then, if you want to stick around, he can show you how he did it! You won't find a more generous teacher. This kind of training makes you and your dog both feel better, do better, be better!

Then we rescued another full grown dog who wasn't small. She was wild and required a team just to walk her. We have been working with Greg and both dogs on and off since November. We aren't terrible consistent, but we do try. People have been stopping and applauding us for the noticeable changes in both dogs' behavior. I have actually had some success walking both dogs together. Life at home is much less frazzled, although there's still plenty to work on. What I really like about this training is that Greg is practical. The training is to the point. It's really sensible. Greg understands that people are busy, that some dogs have structure and other dogs have toys. He adjusts and supports as needed. Greg has a diverse background with a biology degree and has worked a broad spectrum of jobs. He takes his career seriously and gets things done pleasantly, timely, and correctly.

I'm SO GLAD we found this place! Kortney was so sweet & accommodating. She was very reassuring but what reassured us the most is the way she loved our dogs like they were her own. I never had to ask for updates because she updated us daily with the cutest photos and videos. I know in her hands our girls were not only safe but having the time of their lives. They were very attentive to the point where my one dog (Roo) who has been boarded before and would stay in a corner watching other dogs play or by her sister only for 2 weeks in other places even began to trust them in one day. Highly recommend and we are definitely boarding them here again :)

Every staff member I encountered was kind, friendly, patient, and helpful. One thoughtful woman went out of her way to bring a bowl of water for my dog (who was not the animal needing care but could not be left at home alone). The doctor who saw my injured cat was generous with his time, answered my questions thoroughly, and had a good sense of humor. Staff members did their best to make sure I did not miss my return ferry and even gave helpful advice on where to find a decent latte at the crack of dawn. When it came time to pay I was expecting a bill in the mid four digits- after all, this is ER care at 3am on a weekend- but the total was shockingly low! I even asked if they had forgotten to add in his bag of meds! The fact that affordable, quality emergency care like this exists is deeply heartening. Winston's eye is, knock on wood, healing well and the care he received was top notch. Thank you so much, PEC team, for helping to make sure my chunky tabby doesn't turn into a pirate.

I took my dog here and she stayed for six days...she had diabetes from pancreatitis. All they did…read morewas hook her up to hydrate, seat her like a zombie, and try and keep her glucose under control. She did not eat the whole time because they refused to offer her what I told them she would eat. She starved and lost even more weight. When I got her home she could no longer walk and was pooping and peeing uncontrollably. They never addressed the pancreatitis nor did they tell me she had an ulcer in both eyes from everything going out of control. They sent her home in worse condition than what I sent her in with! I paid $7110 for them to neglect her. Send her home worse. And not address any problem she had. I just took her to another local vet (SMOKEY POINT ANIMAL HOSPITAL)when we got her home and he immediately started treating her for all her issues. Antibiotic drops for her eyes. Serum drops with her own blood were made to try and repair her eyes as much as possible, as it could be too late and she could be blind. He took a test to see how her overall glucose has been over the last two months and it showed severe pancreatitis. He gave her a ten day fierce antibiotic injection so she didn't have to take pills and irritate her stomach more. My registered companion dog that I have had for twelve years is still living and on her way to recovering with the care of this new doctor, and all for $500 and check ups every week for $50. Please do not take your dog to this place. They care nothing about fixing your dog. Only the money. And they call you every day and make you panic with a price. I am so dissatisfied with how insensitive some can be. I am in debt $7110 now for nothing that they did. Again. I do not recommend this place.
