This vet does what I wish all vets and dr offices would do: build a spare appointment or two into the schedule every day so if a client calls with an emergency, they can see you. Right after moving to Camas, my dog started limping. They saw me the next day (they would have seen me that day if I felt it was that urgent but I opted to leave that spot open for someone else). At the time of my visit, another animal came in needing emergency care. They offered to reschedule us or I could wait in the lobby while they did their exams in the back since "our" exam room was needed. I opted to stay and wait. The dr herself and all of the staff apologized to me profusely for the disruptions even though they really didn't need to. These things happen and I never would have known there was a crisis if no one told me. It was that well handled. They also offered a discount on our visit because of it, which again was above and beyond. The care plan for my dog is reasonable and was well explained to me. I was also given alternatives if I did not agree. Very happy this is the vet closest to my house. read more

They are so good and so kind I hate to leave a great review, because its getting harder and harder to get in to see them. But everyone deserves care like this, every animal deserves the best. We've been seeing Dr.Vance for well over 10 years. We've have had a few animals in these past years, our animals get great care, they won't drag you through unnecessary test or unnecessary care. Their office is ran well, and have plenty of staff so your not waiting long... read more

See all

I had great experience at the clinic. Everyone from the front desk to the doctor were very helpful and friendly. My cat feels much better now. read more

We've taken our dogs here since the pandemic. I've had the most experience with Dr. Turner and she is present, extremely competent, and compassionate with my dogs. Bless her. I've had the same experience with the whole staff. Everyone knows and clearly adores my dogs. My dogs love it there, which says everything I need to know. But for the humans... I've been quite impressed with their ability to get us in quickly for new issues. They are cautious about expensive treatment while prioritizing our dogs' health, and the facilities are well maintained and efficiently run. The surgical staff is excellent, and they are quick to refer to other facilities if they think my dogs would receive better care there. I've had specialty surgeons ask who my primary vet is because they were so impressed with the quality of their imaging. I'm a worrier who possibly cares a little too much about my dogs. Some might even call me annoying. But I never feel like a problem when I'm there, all of my concerns are always addressed quickly, my questions are always answered quickly and thoroughly, and there's no one I trust more than Summit Animal Hospital. Thank you so much for loving my dogs as much as I do. They love you too. read more

We were very disappointed with Summit Animal Hospital. After trying for days to get our sick dog in, we were offered a 3:00 p.m. opening at 2:30 p.m. My wife warned she might be late as we were arriving home at 2:55 p.m. from a funeral; the staff assured us there was a 15‑minute grace period. We arrived at 3:18 p.m., but the staff refused to see our dog. The staff's tone felt uncaring, and the manager (Jessica) was unavailable when I asked to speak with her. Our original appointment for 9:00 a.m. the next day had been canceled by the staff, but fortunately we were able to get it back. I'm sharing this so others know about their late-arrival policy and how it's applied. read more

It took them nearly a month to just be told information I already knew. The manger Jennifer was very unprofessional the way she talked to me. I was threatened to have the police called on me when I told her that I was going through a rough time mentally not being able to see my dogs due to my girlfriend and I splitting up. My ex had my name removed from ny dogs file and I was not notified nor given a reason why this happened. I asked that I would like to speak to her in person to explain about my situation in person and was told that I can speak to their legal team and if I showed up she would call the police. All I wanted to understand why my name was removed and why it was removed without notifying me. I would not recommend this vet anymore and will tell others about how unprofessional and unkind their manger is. read more

I had been with Summit since 2014 when I first moved to Camas. Dr. Tyler Vance was extremely compassionate with our previous dog when she was dying of cancer. Unfortunately I didn't see much of Dr. Tyler Vance; I would get his wife or someone else in the practice. In 2016 we got a new dog and continued with Summit. This past summer, my elderly mother moved locally to a senior home and brought her cat; so of course we brought the cat to Summit. Last week I had an appointment for both the dog and the cat. I had the dog appointment time wrong and missed it but still got the cat in for her blood draw. Apparently sometime in the last 11 years that I have been going to Summit I missed another appointment so this was my second missed appointment in 11 years with 3 animals. This is a snip the letter I received: "At this time, there have been one or more no-show appointments from your account. For future appointments, we will require nonrefundable prepayment for exam fees as well as the treatment cost of scheduled technician appointments." Needless to say I have found a new vet. Camas Washougal Animal hospital was able to get me in right away, did not ask an excessive amount of intake questions and does not require a separate drop for blood work if a teeth cleaning is scheduled. I probably would have been OK with a 75.00 cancellation fee from Summit; but they pushed too far for me. There have been MANY times that I was put on hold for several minutes and then asked a barrage of 20 questions which took much of my lunch break. Clearly Summit only is interested in generating income for themselves and are completely insensitive to understand that their customers also have busy lives and that their time is also important to them as well.

I have been taking my three large dogs here for about 5 years. The staff is wonderful, the Vets are wonderful, we never have a bad time. I feel like the pricing is reasonable read more

I have been taking my animals to summit for 20 or more years. Yes I recommend the clinic. The original owner's daughter works there and the doctors that are there are excellent. I think they are very caring and like family to us. We read more

Summit Animal Hospital - Our crazy pug Stanley - Veterinarians Near Me - Camas, Washington

I brought my pup in to see Dr. Vance, after a bad expensive , experience at another local veterinary clinic. He diagnosed her within minutes, gave us a prescription and a treat for my sweet pup. She was feeling better in a couple of days. We returned in two weeks for a checkup, all is good. Thank you to you and your caring staff. read more

I love love love Summit. Dr. Katie and Dr. Tyler are very skilled and thoughtful vets. They are compassionate and always give lots of options. I feel empowered to make the right decisions for my pet's health with their guidance. There's been many occasions where they could have upsold me or pressured me into more and tests as I have one veryyyyy old dog Zelda and one kinda old neurotic dog Argo, but they never have. When I first brought Zelda to Dr. Tyler Vance it was during COVID and she was having heart problems and I thought I was going to need to put her down. Dr. Vance fine tuned her medications (she's on like 6) but once we got her pain and fluid balance issues dialed in my dog is doing really great and she's 17. I got several more great years with my dog due to this clinic. The vets always answer all my questions and are very through. Now onto the other great part, the office staff here is wonderful! I've never had a vet before with great office staff AND great doctors. This is very hard to find. You can text message or email in medication refill requests and they will text you back to let you know it's ready! How easy and wonderful is that?! One time Zelda had a suspected UTI and I think it was Kelsey who walked up and down the street with us and Zelda and managed to catch her urine in a little tray when she squatted. I felt that was above and beyond. That's the level of dedication the staff has. Lastly, and what prompted me to make sure I wrote another review for this place is we went on a family vacation recently and had to bring our dogs with us last minute. We brought some dog antianxiety medicine but not nearly enough. When we got to the vacation house Argo wouldn't stop howling and panting and it was a nightmare. I called Summit and within 2 hours they got medication approved and sent into a local pharmacy for my dog. Wow they saved my entire vacation. Thank you Summit!!!!!!!!! read more

Summit Animal Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Camas, Washington

Took my cats here for the first time. Cat 1 has trouble with vets, cat 2 does not. They both had a tough time, which was the first time that both have been that upset, which I don't blame the vet for. That's just bad luck. She was able to do one exam on cat 1 (almost all of it) as much as allowed, and for cat 2, she looked in the eyes from a distance and tried to not get close. Seemed like pretty low effort but not unreasonable. I will say that for the cat that typically will try to swat at vets, other vets had techs and vets with skills that allowed for some degree of an exam, rather than standing against the wall. I don't have issue with what they were able to do. Main issue was the bill that followed. I believe they should bill for their time to a degree, and that it's not their fault that the cats didn't like it. I take issue with her billing both the same or even close to the same amount, which is a bit dishonest and misrepresenting what occurred. They reduced the price of the limited exam by a trivial amount, but it became clear that this was just a business. Will not be returning, didn't feel like I was really visiting with a vet either. I can't do 0 stars, so I'll just have to settle for 1. read more

This place has been wonderful every time I bring my dog here. He gets pretty nervous so they're always very reassuring and even nice enough to hold the door open so I can physically carry that 60lb tan sack of scared vizsla in there. I'm really hoping once the mask mandate ends this place allows customers and employees the freedom to do as they chose as well as allow me to walk inside with my dog for appointments and shake the hand of the vet that seems to care so much. As a Texan, those kinda manners are important to me and especially when dealing with something I love so dearly. read more

Summit Animal Hospital - Mr. Cooper - Veterinarians Near Me - Camas, Washington

DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES! Despite what their website says, they will likely send you to an actual emergency vet. Service for routine visits has been satisfactory. read more

We came here on a referral from our neighbors and have been very satisfied with their care of our pets. We were searching for a new vet during Covid and it was nearly impossible to get in anywhere else. We were grateful for the prompt scheduling. The staff here are all soooo nice! Pricing is reasonable & I've never had them push for expensive testing. read more

The past few years have been challenging for veterinary clinics and veterinarians. I appreciate them all and their commitment to our pets. I do want a give a shout out to Summit Animal Hospital. What an incredible hospital and clinic. Thank you for taking the time, for being kind, and for doing your very best everyday for our fur babies. You are all appreciated, from the front desk to the back office, the techs, and the doctors, thank you. If I could give you one million stars I would. read more

We came to Summit Animal Hospital (SAH) at the recommendation of one of our neighbors. With our last dog/family member we went to the local big box pet store/pet clinic. It didn't fit our needs and we searched for a new place for our new pup. SAH is a small group veterinary practice at the top of Prune Hill in Camas next to the Shell station. We saw Dr Vance for our first pup check up. Dr Vance was great answering all of our questions. We had a few questions as it was a few years since our last puppy. She was great examining our pup and agreed to let me post her pic on Yelp. It was a great first visit for our pup and us. We look forward to receiving her ongoing care here. It's the best vet experience we have had in Camas and highly recommended for those who have four legged family members. Check it out. read more

Summit Animal Hospital - Dr Vance is really great. - Veterinarians Near Me - Camas, Washington

Dr. Vance was awesome, he listened -I mean actually listened to our concerns while his nurse Kasey took notes. Then he explained what to check, why, and how to address the issue. These two made a great medical team and smooth experience caring for our kiddos, glad we made the change to Summit Animal Hospital. They were transparent with price as well and gave us options. From the beginning of our appointment when Kasey brought us to our room to the end checking out my wife and I were thoroughly impressed. Thank you Dr. Vance and Kasey! read more

Many changes in short time. There is a new vet and staff. I really have had great experience with Dr Tyler Vance. He is super caring and thorough and was very prompt when my dogs were sick. Today I was disappointed when saw another vet as not as Thorough and felt I got more from the techs. I saw a new vet and after working in vet hospitals and having multiple pets I don't think I have had a briefer exam. I would ask for Dr Tyler Vance or move on to another office. My mom moved on as also difficulty geyin for sick pet due to lack of appointments. read more

I am so thankful to have found this place with a recommendation from a friend. We had to pandemic bounce around to a few places to get care for awhile and even though it's a bit of a drive for us it's so worth it. Staff actually seems to care, they never act to rushed to answer questions even though I know they're swamped, and it's about half the cost of another vet clinic we tried (E.P.). I never feel pushed into extras (ahem, EP). My pup was spayed here last week and I have never seen such tidy stitching on a spay and I know my girl was well taken care of while there. Thank you Summit Animal Hospital for giving us such a great experience and for treating my dog and I so well. read more

I can't speak highly enough about Summit! Our poor cat Beastie was having some issues with his teeth and eating. After taking him in for a check-up, we found he had a few teeth that needed to be removed. Because he is an old dude, it was recommended that we also get some blood work done to make sure that was all that was needed. Thankfully, it was. They have a wonderful social distancing set up out front where you roll up and they take your fur baby from you and then deliver him/her back when done. We dropped him off at 7:45 and he was ready to go home at 3 the same day. Reasonably priced and super friendly service. Much appreciated during such a funky time. Note to some: Summit does not offer overnight care/kenneling so if you need something that may need a longer stay, they have another hospital they work with. 5 big bright stars! read more

Summit Animal Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Camas, Washington

We moved to Washington this past January. In March my little Shih Tzu became very sick. Not having a vet established yet, I had received a flyer in the mail from Summit. I called, and thankfully the receptionist worked her in right away. Both Dr. Vance's saw Nikki, and I instantly knew I made the right choice choosing a Vet! As time took for her to heel, I can't count how many times Dr. Kathy Vance herself, called to check on Nikki! Even the ladies at the reception desk called, and were so compassionate and kind. I am so happy Nikki is back 110%! I definitely recommend this facility! read more

Summit Animal Hospital - So happy! - Veterinarians Near Me - Camas, Washington

We had the best vet experience here. I arrived 15 minutes early, and they took me back very quickly. While waiting to get the room ready, my cat was meowing and very upset. A tech came and gave my cat a blanket that had a calming spray, which was a tremendous help. Our tech, Kasey, and vet, Dr. Hagerman, were wonderful and efficient. Thank you so much! read more

Outstanding service! My wife and I recently moved to the area and so we took our canine daughter for a check up and to get current with vaccinations. Dr. Tyler and nurse technician Frankie were so kind, thorough, helpful, and really knowledgeable. You can tell that they really have a passion for what they do and care not only about the animals they see, but the parents too! I know it's only one appointment, but highly recommend Summit Animal Hospital. read more

They have taken excellent care of our dog. So, that part I'd recommend without hesitation. But here's the problem. They charge a fair price for most of their services. So I go to get amoxicillin for our dog. They are handing me the 2 weeks supply and mention they are going to charge the card on file $92 for it. I'm in healthcare. It's a $12 item at most. I decline. No thank you. Have it filled at Costco. $11.50. Seriously? That is uncalled for. read more

We have been bringing our pets here for one year since we moved back to the area. I am not pleased with the most recent visit and I can say in the last year throughout all of the visits, just the same. Not sure what the disconnect was this time with a simple check up and updating some vaccines. In the past my dogs have been coming out of these appointments feeling fine and today it's not going well. When I got to the appointment with both of my dogs the office staff seamed confused on which dog gets which vaccine. I walked into the room (this was the first time I actually had a chance to go inside due to Covid and they evenly finally opened back up in person) The tech looked at the computer and there still seemed to be confusion. Then I started feeling uncomfortable with having them there. I let them know... "if your confused on who gets what, their names are on their collars" I sat in the room while they took both dogs to the back. I heard yelping and was not concerned at first because I know my female fog can be a little dramatic with nail trims. I then heard a loud thud and then it was quiet. They brought my male dog back and said, "all done". They had a concerned look on their face when they came back into the room. They talked about almost being done with the other dog and I said it can be challenging getting her nails done at times. They brought her back into the room then and said, "All done! We are going to charge your card on file. It's $350." I agreed because I am familiar with what the vaccines prices were, so price was not an issue. This is the part that does not sit well with me. My dog is not feeling well. It has been 24 hours later and he is not himself. He is sighing and is clearly not feeling well. I am not outraged yet, because he is still eating and not lethargic. But he is in pain! What makes me so angry is they didn't not go over with me what actually happened in the back when they were giving the vaccines, they did not go over side effects, and they didn't do a follow up call. It was like here you go, we will charge your card and send you the receipt. My question is.. what the hell happened in the back and did they give the correct dogs the correct vaccines. I called and let them a message with my concerns. I will not expect a call back today because it is Sunday. I can only hope I get a call from them tomorrow. I am happy I may not have to go back there. We are moving again and I know there are other vets that are more caring and organized than this one. I can safely say we will not have to go back there because we move in 2 months and good luck even getting an appointment in that time frame. Just to get them in for this one was 3-4 weeks! With this experience if they did something that is going to need further follow up from the vaccines ghat they gave my dog, I'm sure they will not care and just have me go to the emergency vet. I will update this review once I figure out what is wrong with my dog. read more

We have been going to Summit for years. The most recent veterinarian additions of Tyler and Katie Vance have proven to be the best team! Both veterinarians are knowledgeable, professional, have common sense when treating animals and give several treatment options. We have had some medical needs dogs, an acutely ill dog with a rare pathology, routine care requirements etc. All handled above and beyond my expectations and I'm tough. I'm in human medicine. The office staff, every one, has been incredibly helpful, supportive, professional and caring. Summit gets an A+ from us! read more

We've used them for many years and they are just great. Super nice, super flexible, very competent. Doc Fry is great. So are the younger vets. read more

We expect excellent care for our pets. Sometimes even more so for them than even ourselves. Husband and wife team Dr's Kathryn Vance and Tyler Vance and their entire staff provide excellent care beyond what I have ever experienced with other pets at other vets over many years. They truly love animals and it shows in everything they do. My best friend of 11 years was terminal and beginning to suffer. I never thought I'd be writing a Yelp review giving five stars for the hardest experience a pet owner can go through. Dr Tyler Vance's compassion, understanding and love made the inevitable last visit one of comfort for our dog and also for us. The great respect, integrity, love and understanding for my family and our sweet wonderful dog was beyond what words can explain. At some point down the road there will likely be another dog in our lives. But not another vet. Thank you Summit Team. read more

I live close by and thought I would try them based on positive views and I am so glad I did! Initially I saw Dr. Jeff Frey to update my sheltie's vaccinations and he was so kind, professional, and patiently answered all my questions and concerns. Then my dog, Kaia, got sick and I went in on Christmas Eve and saw Dr. Tyler Vance. He was just as kind and professional and the information he provided was not only helpful, but I also felt as if he spoke with me on a level commensurate with my own knowledge. Dr. Vance provided me with antibiotics, probiotics, and everything I needed for Kaia for the long weekend, including information for any emergency care. The front staff ensured I had all the correct items and I left feeling fully supplied and ready for any contingencies. Later that same day, I could see some improvement in Kaia and by Christmas I knew she was feeling better! No one likes to see their pet get sick and the doctors and staff at Summit Animal Hospital really are courteous and caring. I highly recommend taking your pet there; they are in great hands! read more

When we had to put our beloved rat, Oreo, down, we took her here, and they handled everything respectfully, and kindly, and even sent us a "Sorry for your loss" card. They take care of our hyper puppy too, and always do an excellent job! read more

We just moved to Camas and I found Summit animal hospital from yelp reviews, so happy I found this wonderful vet office, staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, I just wanted to establish a veterinarian for my precious dog here and they did an exam and gave him vaccinations, my beloved dog gets nervous at the vet offices and they were so good to him and he trusted them. I will continue to get care from this vet office for my dog. read more

I love the wonderful staff at Summit! We moved to NJ for 5 years and the first vet I called when we moved back was Summit. They are still just as caring and helpful as they were 5 years ago. Thank you Summit! read more

I started taking my dog Charlie to Summit after terrible experiences with Orchard Hills and Banfield. I'd tend to agree that they recommend a lot of extra tests, but lets get serious... They don't recommend any more than a human doc would for kid (if I had one). Amy is always up front about the tests and presents an estimate before doing anything. She never pushes me to do any test I don't think is necessary. And, often enough she has talked me out of extra tests. I have Trupanion (definitely recommend them!) pet insurance for my boy, so I'm pretty quick to ask for a full battery. I love taking Charlie to Summit. He loves going there. And all the ladies are so happy when he comes in. I would highly recommend Summit to anyone that loves their animals like I do. If you just want to keep a yard mutt half alive then maybe Orchard hills would be better suited for your needs. Keep up the great work Dr. Twardzik!! read more

I love Summit Animal Hospital. They treat me with respect, and take very good care of my dog and cats. They do recommend more frequent lab tests and such than I care to do, but it's always my choice to say no (and I often have). However, they have always explained to me why they were recommended. I have never felt that anyone there was operating from a sense of greed. My dog has trouble getting in/out of our car now, and Dr Frey even came outside to give her a needed vaccination. I really appreciated that. They have excellent follow up and have worked well with the other specialty clinic we had to visit for my dogs neurological problems. They're good people and a good vet practice. read more

Very friendly, patient, knowledgeable staff, with competative prices. Received great advice for my cat who has a chronic condition. We just moved to the area and I am very happy that we won't have to shop around for the right vet. This is the place for our pets! Will definitely be returning for yearly check-ups and vaccinations, or any other pet health concerns. They also offer boarding (for cats). My only complaint is that they don't also offer boarding for dogs. read more

We have used Summit Animal hospital for our cats since 1995 and they have provided excellent care for all of them (8 total). They've offered great advice and care over the years, and have provided compassionate end-of-life care for 4 of our animals (and being compassionate with the owners as well). When we first went there, Dr. Hummels was the owner - we didn't think we could do better. But Dr. Frey is awesome as well (as are the other vets that we've worked with there). Never feel pressured, they always present different options and provide good referrals in regards to more specialized care - we had one cat that had a very aggressive form of cancer; and Dr. Frey helped us weave our way through the various options as well as refer us to a cat cancer specialist for another opinion. We highly recommend this business. read more
