Upon entering the clinic, the staff was so friendly. Our kitten had never been to a vet before and we wanted the visit to be as positive as possible and it was a success. Our kitty, Zumi was not stressed or overwhelmed at all the entire time. The doctor and the technician were so great with Zumi, and spent time getting to know her, which to me is such a big deal. Dr. Pupich was great and gave us some good educational advice and resources. I was a little nervous because we live in Sequim and it's a bit of travel, especially for a pet who has never traveled, but we had a very positive experience. Next, Zumi will be spayed at the Chimacum Vet Hospital and we feel very confident about the care they will give to our precious Zumi. read more

We had to take our chihuahua, Rambo, there to be euthanized. This was our first time at the clinic & they couldn't have been more warm & caring. They explained everything to us before they started the procedure, which made the process less scary. Thank you to everyone there & also the Chimacum Valley Vet Hospital for referring us there. Everyone involved in this traumatic event were extremely thoughtful & sympathetic. read more

Everything has been Awesome with Everyone at Port Townsend Veterian Clinic. We love Dr. LARSON.

I have a Blue Heeler and vet visits are not his favorite thing. All your staff know just how to deal with him. I appreciate the kindness and patience everyone always exhibits. You make a visit be the best it can be. Thank you! read more

We have had 3 of our dogs here and have generally had really good experiences. We particularly like Dr. Amanda. They were very good with our two sick older dogs, figuring out ways to keep them comfortable until it was time to say goodbye. During the pandemic they came outside to help us say goodbye to our sweet girl Daisy, and even cried with us. They gave us practical realistic advice. I don't relate to some of the negative reviews here. I am sure it's super upsetting to not be able to pay for pet care, and yet I haven't experienced any price gouging here. In fact, I understand theyve occasionally done work for charity, and rescued some pups, although they are of course running a business. read more

Unethical practices! I have respected over the years the Veterinarians, staff, and technicians with my dogs and cat. But the ethics regarding upfront and honest with PRICING of services forces me to take my business elsewhere. I have many examples here is the latest. I called the front office and asked to make an appt for one of my dogs to have his nails trimmed. He is very reactive and needed to have a steady hand. I was told a technician could do this but the charge would be $50. I was told to come to the office 5 days ahead of time to pick up meds that would help calm him. Ok fine I thought thats good. I picked up the meds for the one time nail trim and was charged $60. I asked why so many I am only administering once. I was told that is what is given more than one dose. Oh well i thought OK. 5 days before the appt. I was given a reminder of the appt. On the day of the appt my dog had been mildly sedated. The technician stated my dog was due for a Wellness Exam. I said no that maybe the case but I am only here for the nail trim. Tech said we can't do the nail trim unless he has a Wellness exam. I protested in a quiet voice "this is unethical' I did not plan the time or the extra money for this. I asked her to speak to her supervisor. She came back and said they are holding firm. Ok incase you are not understanding this. I was expecting only a $50 charge to trim his claws. Now they could have told me this was the case of the Wellness Exam so I could have had that done at another time. But to spring that on me even though it was never mentioned feels to me a money grabbing unnecessary expenditure. If this were the only ethics I would say oh well. But think of it, there have been many situations where money seems to be their priority. It is unfortunate indeed! On the most part the Veterinarians have been attentive and professional. I enjoyed the staff both at Port Townsend and Chimacum. Very disappointing! read more

Worst experience imaginable thanks the Marissa. Shes all about getting money and cares zero for pets and pet owners. How is she the manager of anything. She is a mean and terrible person. They prescribed my pet incorrectly, and against my pets health, and she did nothing to correct it. Lied so I wouldnt be refunded by the warrenteed manufacturer of the treatment just to be mean. Worse they actually harmed my very sweet pet, and all she did was want more and more and more money. Stay away from this place. Worse clinic Ive ever seen, they do not know what their doing, but charge human prices for cheap things that dont have the same standards and are rough and terrible for pets. read more

1st time visit with my VERY fearful rescue dog. They were very kind and gentle with her. Dr. Jessica Larsen spoke to me about her future needs and asked questions about her history. read more

Probably should create a new list, something like "Travels With Jaxx." Okay, it's not terribly original. Being the first to review Pet Townsend Veterinary Clinic should suffice. If indeed we are the first. This fine clinic should have dozens of reviews by now, could it be that we are are jealously guarding "our" secret vets, Maybe. Jaxx had his first appointment here with Dr. Abby Doll at the Pet Townsend site after I found "junk" in his ears...it was a bacteria. Dr. Doll successfully treated a squirmy 16 pound Pomeranian. Jaxx and his doggy-daddy were able to easily walk over from our home. Result: No more ear scratching. Jaxx had his second appointment to have his teeth cleaned...his mouth was stinky despite our daily brushing...one tooth extraction by Dr. Dalton Webb at their neighboring Chimicum site followed. Third crisis was the worry that his heart was beating abnormally, but a quick EKG reassured us. The vets, the vet techs, the staff, all were wonderful and took excellent care of our newly-adopted family member. All of the appointments were terribly necessary and performed promptly with the care and skill that one might expect from an M.D. catering to a beloved human family member. In fact, if I didn't have a super cardiologist and general practitioner already, I'd line up for these folks to be my personal doctors. They are truly that good. You heard it here first. read more

Waaay overpriced. Shop around a bit before you choose. Even a trip to Sequim Animal Hosp or the Petco clinic in Sequim could literally save you hundreds. Standard services like vaccines and microchipping should not break the bank. read more

The vets and staff at Pet Townsend in Port Townsend and the Chimacum location are so kind and comprehensive and fantastic. They have taken wonderful care of my two dogs who are my babies. Thank you Pet Townsend! read more

I have been taking my dog to both Pet Townsend in Port Townsend and Chimacum Valley Vet in Chimacum for 7 years and have been very happy with the service at both locations. The staff are very gentle, knowledgeable, and the price is always reasonable. I completely trust my fur baby in their hands! read more

The vet I saw was an older fill-in and seemed to be able to use critical thinking rather than just ordering every expensive test possible and relying on testing to do their thinking for them. One reason I love seeing an older vet. I was not happy with the regular vet not returning my phone call the next day, despite me spending only 5 minutes with the vet the previous day and needing to ask a question pertaining to that expensive visit. I asked them to please call me back that day as I had important information pertaining to my visit the day before. I emphasized it was important and I wanted to talk with a vet not a tech. Still waiting for the call back a day latter. They also are quick to pre-charge you for tests that may or may not happen. So, now I have to get a refund for tests not done. They charge you for every little thing and their prices are no bargains. What happened to the old fashioned vets who actually used their minds instead of relying on labs and imaging studies to treat patients? read more

Pet Townsend Vet Clinic has given me consistently excellent service from the front desk, to the vet assistants and the vets themselves. Our little dog gets acupuncture which is not available everywhere. It is very effective for her arthritis. Additionally, the clinic advises on CBD and other natural remedies. Their sister clinic in Chimacum is also excellent. - Port Townsend resident. read more

Horrible clinic. You do not want to take your animals here! It's a money trap, and the doctors are not very skilled. I spent way to much here on my dogs toe nail and it is still not fixed. So I called them, for some professional advice they were rude, and just kept telling me to bring him back in. Definitely switch vets after taking my dog here just once! read more

First of all, this is a review of the Port Townsend Veterinary Clinic and NOT the Chimacum Valley Veterinary Clinic. These clinics share doctors. The doctors are amazing. They are caring and knowledgeable. I'm reviewing the office staff. Now, the office staff at sister site, Chimacum Valley Veterinary Clinic is fantastic. Very welcoming, warm, knowledgeable. So helpful! They seem to really know what they are doing. However, my experiences with the office staff at the Port Townsend Veterinary Clinic have been nothing like that. First of all, the staff seems to be confused much of the time. They don't seem to understand what I'm talking about--for some reason they just don't seem to understand basic situations or have a hard time figuring out what to do. The staff at Chimacum Valley Vet Clinic is always so happy to talk to clients. They seem happy to be where they are doing what they are doing. Not so at Port Townsend Vet Clinic. The many times that I've been there I have felt like I was bothering them. I've noticed this same demeanor with other clients who come in. Phone calls and visits are seamless at Chimacum Valley Vet Clinic, but bumpy and awkward at Port Townsend Vet Clinic. I feel like they make every interaction more difficult than it needs to be. I'm never going to go there again--even though this vet office is closer to me than the Chimacum office. Too many bad vibes. read more

This review is not necessarily to convince you to go to another vet, but to share reflections and advice based on our experience. At the end of the day, our cat is ok and that's in part due to Pet Townsend Veterinary Clinic. However, should you decide to bring your pet here, a few recommendations: 1) Ask a lot of specific questions about the procedures that you are being charged for, the cost, the timeline and the urgency for each recommended treatment 2) Verify the results of diagnostics/initial treatments before moving ahead with other, more costly options 3) If you are unhappy with the service, do not expect any reimbursement or any recovery of fees We brought our cat in to the clinic, as she was acting very lethargic, had vomited and had not eaten in a day or two. When we called, the clinic indicated that this was very serious and that we needed to bring her in immediately, and they had an appointment available that same afternoon. After seeing the vet, we were provided a 'treatment plan' that included - $60 exam - $30 fluids & vitamins - $30 anti-nausea medicine - $155 blood work - $300 x-rays ($200 for 2 views by the clinic vet and $100 external x-ray consult) It wasn't initially nor clearly explained that the exam and x-ray results had established that there was nothing immediate or life threatening going on with our cat. Nor was it explained by the technicians when they shared the treatment plan, that the results from the blood work and additional radiology consult would not be available for another 24 hours. Essentially, there was nothing more that could be done after the exam, regardless of what might be going on internally with our cat, except to wait to see how she responded to the fluids, but that wasn't explicitly shared either. In our case, she responded well, and was better and eating by that evening, before we even received the blood and x-ray results the next day. Ultimately, we were charged $255 for procedures (blood work & x-ray consult), that had the timeline been explained better and had we understood the situation better, we would not have opted for until after seeing how our cat responded to the initial treatment of fluids and vitamins. I called the clinic to ask questions to better understand why certain decisions had been made and why there wasn't a better explanation of our options, financially and otherwise. The vet apologized, though was clear that there was nothing else they would do with regards to refunding our money for the treatments that our cat didn't need. read more

After reading the reviews, I am shocked they did not give a REFUND to the person with the dog who jumped out of the window. That was clearly malpractice. You should sue them. At the very least people should avoid them like the plague. It is shameful to not offer them a full REFUND for your lack of proper care and diagnosis. It's shameful, just shameful. The vet should have their license revoked. read more

My dog jumped out of the car window at 60mph and rolled down the road. It was bad. I raced her to Chimacum who just talked about a possible owee to her knee. They charged me $700 for sedation and XRays, but only XRayed her knee and chest cavity for a possible contusion. They sent me home with just an anti inflammatory and recommended leash walking for 4-6 weeks. I took her to another vet as she was obviously more injured than that. She had not only snapped her left pelvis to the point of disjoint within her cavity, fractured her right pelvis, fractured her spine and sacrum but also destroyed the femur ball joint to the point of being unrepairable. She has had to have major surgery to remove her ball joint and add a plate to the moving pelvis. She was in pain for 3 extra days due to the complete incompetence of Lauren Clarke, who didn't even think to check anything other than the knee and rib cage. Thanks god for real vets. But that's $700 lost to incompetence and 3 extra days of agony and stress for all. read more

Staff were incredibly pushy about getting our puppy neutered....even though we had told the vet and the staff that we were not interested in neutering at this time (you think they would make some kind of notation in our file and drop it?). Every time we made an appointment or took our puppy in we had to hear a 15-20 minute lecture about "how very important it is to neuter young and we should make an appointment for it right away". (Neutering too young can actually lead to stunted growth and other hormonal issues). Also the vet said he heard a heart murmur and that we should bring our puppy in often to monitor that. (We took our dog to another vet for a second opinion and lo and behold no murmur!!) We asked other local dog owners about vets in the area and heard the same thing about this clinic from everyone - "they're pushy and will tell you your dog has a heart murmur". Going to this clinic was very much like going to a mechanic for an oil change and having them give you a shopping list of other things that are "wrong with your car". I got the feeling that they use this kind of "scare" tactic in hopes that nervous pet owners will bring their pets in more often so they can make more money. I'm sure the vets are very competent at both Chimacum Valley and Pet Townsend (same owners).....but they and their staff could try being a little less pushy about selling pet owners on unneeded/unwanted surgeries. (Not every pet owner is uninformed about pet care.) Also.....listening to the ladies at the front desk with other customers was painful - how many times does it take for someone to tell you the same thing before you get it right? Sorry but this clinic gets a vote of no confidence from us. read more
