Poulsbo Animal Clinic

Dr. Adams is an amazingly compassionate veterinarian. He has a staff that is also quite amazing. It is with a heavy heart that I say all of this as today they had to euthanize my friend. Although Dr. Adams was booked for surgery he and his staff took time out of their busy schedule to take care of my sick dog. I will forever be grateful for the caring, compassionate people that they are. Read Less

I can offer no higher praise than this: Poulsbo Animal Clinic, and Craig Adams specifically, saved our dog Koko's life.Koko was diagnosed with a deep tumor under his left shoulder late last year, and he needed surgery badly. Dr. Adams was wonderful to work with throughout this incredibly trying ordeal. He performed several surgeries on Koko, and the whole team at Poulsbo Animal Clinic worked so hard to save his life. It was really touch and go for a while, but the clinic pulled through in the end. Koko is alive and happy and doing so well, now.Dr. Adams was truly relieved and happy that he was able to save Koko's life, and I'll never forget the care that he and the rest of the crew gave us.

I am giving them a 1 star review not based on treatment of animals but of the amount of money we are charged for each visit. We are being taken advantage of and have been from day one. For an inflamed shoulder, we are getting out of there for a mere $600. Most visits end up being close to $300. They want follow up visits that are never ending. My daughter set up her cat as a new patient last June. They informed her that now her cat needs to be established as a new patient. An extra $55 will be added to her next visit. Or would be if she were going back. It makes me angry because there's no reason for full blood work ups every time. I do not appreciate being charged repeatedly for tests that don't have to be run. They sedated the dog for an xray (we have never had this dog sedated like that). And now the dog has been drooling uncontrollably for the past 7 hours. *They still have no idea what the issue is, $600 later.* I am confident we can find a place in Kitsap that wants to do their best for the animals that doesn't fleece us every time. That is exactly what they do. Read Less

To those who can't understand the negative reviews of this clinic: I am giving them 1 star NOT based on treatment of animals but of the amount of money we are charged for each visit. We are being taken advantage of. This time for a swollen shoulder, we are getting out of there for only a mere $600. Most visits end up being close to $300. They want follow up visits that are never ending. Our animals are pretty healthy. It makes me angry because there's no reason for FULL BLOOD work ups every time.  We love our animals. They get what they need. I do not appreciate being charged repeatedly for tests that don't have to be run every time. They sedated the dog for an xray (we have NEVER had this dog sedated like that). And now the dog has been drooling uncontrollably for the past 7 hours. ***And they still have NO IDEA what the issue is, $600 later.*** I am confident we can find some place in Kitsap that wants to do their best for the animals that doesn't fleece us every time.

I can't say enough great things about Poulsbo Animal Clinic. They are always willing to go above and beyond for our two golden retrievers. Whether it's fitting them in for a last minute appointment, or staying late to make sure we're taken care of. I recommend Poulsbo Animial Clinic to anyone in the area. We've always had amazing techs, along with the amazing Dr. McGee! This is the best vet around! Read Less

Its taking me a while to write a review, I would like to say how much I appreciate their patience and sympathy when I had to put my beloved 18 year old kitty precious during emergency hours. They were so patient with me even though i was a wreck. Read Less

Bringing in our sweet little Paloma who needed life saving emergency surgery and knowing how comfortable and trusting my fur baby felt there helped me so much. They did a fantastic job and now our baby gone with us again. Thank you!!!! Read Less

This place is amazing!!! From the first call, to getting our little fur baby in immediately to awesome customer service and an amazing staff!! Dr Adams is fantastic!! Thank you and will definitely be back! Read Less

I adopted a 9 year old dog who had arthritis from CCLs that had ruptured and never been surgically repaired. I had never been to this clinic before, but Dr. Craig was awesome and recommended several supplements that made a huge difference in just a couple weeks. Read Less

I can't say enough about PAC. They truly love your pets and make them a part of the PAC family. I purchased a dog for Christmas from a breeder in California and it was immediately apparent that my sweet little puppy did not come from good conditions. From the beginning of his care, they invested in him. By the time he was 9 mos old, we realized that my pup had a severe case of hip dysplasia and he would need surgery on both sides of his hips in order to have any quality of life. The entire staff cared so much for him AND me, and bent over backwards to assist me in getting him to the healthy place he deserved to be in. I can't imagine ever bringing my pets anywhere else. I am so grateful for PAC and do not take for granted the excellent, loving, and expert care my pets receive here. Read Less

Dr Craig preformed a double femoral head ostectomy on my kitty and the results are just amazing! After breaking both femoral necks doing Lord knows what we took our cat Hebe to PAC and they were just wonderful. They were friendly and caring, and even let Hebe take her favorite toy to surgery. Two weeks later and she is already walking again! Thank you to this team for providing the BEST care possible to our beloved baby. All at a reasonable price, too! Thank you PAC! Read Less

Poulsbo Animal Clinic is outstanding and having used other local vets, they are the only clinic I would recommend! Dr. Craig is a master at his craft and along with the outstanding staff when my puppy needed surgery they provided top notch care along with the personal touch you would expect from a small, local, family owned business. Read Less

Poulsbo Animal Clinic is a great practice. I don't undersand why some people have given them negative reviews. I have taken my dog to this clinic for years and I have always been completely satisfied. Both Veternarians are extremely kind and professional. They always go over my options when it comes to making health decisions about my pets. Give Poulsbo Animal Clinic a try, you won't be disappointed! Read Less

The folks at PAC are the best. They offer the best care for all kinds of animals include my pug Mr. Snickers. They also have great people skills. Highly recommend them if you are in need of a vet or just want to make new friends in the community. Read Less

I adopted a cat from the Humane Society last Friday.  She came with a kennel cold and ear mites.   I took her to Poulsbo Animal Clinic where both she and I were treated with care and compassion by the entire staff!!   My first experience here has definitely made a terrific impression and Zoe and I will not dread coming back in the future (can't say we'd look forward to it - no pet likes the vet like no human likes the dentist).  :D Read Less

I feel so blessed to have Poulsbo Animal Clinic as my vets! Having had many dogs over the course of my life I've had many varied experiences with veterinarians, some average or good, but none that I would classify as outstanding (until now)! Being with Dr. Craig & Beth Adams at Poulsbo Animal Clinic I truly feel as though I have found a vet I can trust. Their education and knowledge is matched by their care and concern for their patients (and their owners too)! In the fall of last year our dog Coach required emergency surgery to remove a large mass on her spleen (which was expertly diagnosed by Dr. Beth). Dr. Beth very clearly explained all of the possible outcomes, both positive and negative we could end up with. We decided to proceed with the surgery. Dr. Beth & Craig worked through their lunches to perform the operation, and I don't believe they or their staff could have taken better care of Coach or us. The next day Dr. Craig called us personally to see how Coach was doing, and remained available throughout her recovery to answer any questions we had. Their personalized care and concern was so appreciated! And best of all, Coach recovered wonderfully, and is doing great! As long as I have animals I love, I will continue to bring them back to Poulsbo Animal Clinic to be cared for, as I know they will be! Read Less

I couldnt believe how bad this place was. One the vet was pushing a dog food on us with the first ingredient being corn meal and telling us corn is actually good for dogs. Any person knows corn has no nutritional value. Then after just a doctors visit and some flea meds we walked out spending 400 dollars. Funny thing took our puppy to a different vet. Nuetered and a repaired hernia from birth 230. Ridiculous. Read Less

At first impression, this seems like an outstanding facility with top-notch care, until you realize they are in it for the money and not the care of the animal.  I had three instances that all happened within a short period of time that helped me easily say goodbye and go to another facility.  Mind you, I am happy to pay for services for my furry loved ones, but I am not about to be taken advantage of.  These are the incidents that happened to me:1.  As a new out-of-state patient, I advised the office that if they were missing any records for my pets from my prior vet to let me know because I had proof of all vaccinations and all were current.  When one of my dogs came in for an Adequan injection only, the office advised my husband that she needed all of her yearly vaccinations + rabies also.  She had all of these vaccinations from her prior vet the month before and therefore clearly did not need any of these injections.  They risked my pets health and also charged me for unneeded vaccinations (totaling $64.00) until I raised the issue and reminded them that I had specifically told them that all pets were current and to bring any concerns to me.  They refunded my money, but not without me making issue of it, and offered me an additional $20 for their malpractice.2.  I inquired as to the cost of the Adequan injection (from point #1) before making an appointment knowing that my pet is expected to need this medication monthly for the rest of her life and was told the cost was about $22.  (My prior vet charged $24 so that seemed very reasonable to me.)Actual cost for this was around $120.  After my husband arrived home and gave me the bill, I called their office and questioned the cost.  I was told this is the cost and that is the amount I was expected to pay.  They had no explanation for giving me the $22 estimate originally.  I was stuck paying this outrageous charge with their bait and switch tactics.Additionally, my dog refused to walk on the leg they gave the injection in for almost 4 weeks to the extent that I was making an appointment for hip replacement surgery in Pullman.  It took a long time for her to bounce back from that injection, thankfully without the need for surgery.3.  My dogs, being new to Washington, needed a Leptospirosis vaccination since the state we moved from was a desert state and this virus didn't exist there.  I was told by this office that this was a 2-shot vaccination initially.  They gave the first shot to all 5 of my dogs.After moving my pets to a different veterinarian, I asked them to give the second vaccination and was told we don't live in a high risk area and therefore only one vaccination was necessary.To add insult to injury, they tried to hold my pets' records from my prior vet hostage from my new vet because it would cost them $5 to mail the records.  They received almost $2K from me in a one month period!  Really, you are that cheap and unprofessional to not release my pets' records?  My prior vet didn't ask anyone to pay for their postage to send the records to them in the first place.I can see having one unpleasant experience and letting it go, and after the second I start to raise my eyebrows.  But three strikes and you're out!

Stop looking for clinics and bring your animals here.  If you're looking for a clinic where they take the extra steps to ensure that your animal is receiving the best treatment, this is the place you want to go. They listened to all of my concerns and addressed each one perfectly.Taking an animal to the vet for a check up can be a tedious task, but the staff at Poulsbo Animal Clinic was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I had the opportunity to bring both of my cats Annie and Pepper here to get their Senior Wellness Package. The Senior Wellness package includes the office visit, diagnostic Bloodwork & Urinalysis, Cystocentesis, FVRCP 3 year, and Rabies vaccination 3 year. They also offer a shot for Feline Luekemia but that's recommended for outdoor cats and mine never step foot farther then our back deck. The cats were a bit nervous exiting the crates that I brought them in but once they were out free they quickly warmed up to the staff and became at ease. Dr. Beth Adams was extremely knowledgeable and made sure that me and my husband knew the right steps to take in order to improve our cats lifestyle. Lila and Tiffany were very helpful as well. Tiffany gave me all the details on how the cats did, as they stayed overnight so the Doctor could get a urine sample in the morning. It has now been 24 hours since their shots and started them on the new weight loss food (Feline R/D) and I've already noticed a change in behavior and mood. They seem a little more playful and happy whereas before they were kind of blobs, as most cats are. I really appreciate the great customer service by the staff at Poulsbo Animal Clinic and will definitely recommend them to friends in this area.I look forward to the next visit! Read Less

This is a great Vet his staff and clinic are top notch, I took my pets to another Vet in Poulsbo for twelve years and after one consult with Dr Adams and our Luvee was on the raod to a better quality life (please read the following). My oldest dog Luvee started having problems with her legs three years ago and the other Vet could not help. After six months she is a new dog.Doc,Thank you for looking into additional Vet-Stem treatment for Luvee. A quick update on Luvee is that she is a much happier dog and she shows signs of the old Luvee we saw prior to her leg problems. Luvee has with the support of the braces and the Vet-Stem gone to chasing the younger dogs in the yard and now wonders out to be close to us while we are working in the yard. Although she will never do a three mile run with me again, her quality of life has been significantly improved, due to your excellent care. I tell the story to my family and friends, that for three years we had her going to a Vet who for all intense purposes did nothing to improve her condition. At best she was put on medication to ease the pain and make her more comfortable, however it did nothing to improve her condition.  Craig six months at Poulsbo Animal Clinic she is a completely different dog, we trust you without question with the care of our dogs, who are a huge part of our life.  I also let everyone know that we use to all but drag her out of the car to go into the Vet and now she is wagging her tail and almost runs me over getting out of the car to come see you and your staff.  We could not be more happy with the service and care your clinic provides. I had a similar discussion with my Bother in law who is a Vet  from Spokane and told him the same story and he said everything I have said about you and your clinic is the sign of a very good Vet and that we are lucky to have found you.Thank you to all the Dr. Adams and your staff.

They are very friendly in this establishment so friendly they smile BIG as you reach for your wallet. They bilk you for every cent they can and take advantage of how you feel about your pet as they convince you that you need every possible service that they can provide to ensure that a simple rabies will cost you $500.

The staff here are fantastic. The vet techs are great with your pet, Dr. Adams takes the time to explain everything he's doing, and why, in a language you can understand. The prices are reasonable too. They give the estimate upfront so you know what to expect. I was able to have my dog seen right away (otherwise we would've had to go to the emergency clinic). They even bought me coffee while I waited for my dog to get her elbows xrayed. I can't imagine receiving better care. Read Less

The staff and Doctors here are great.  They take extra special care of my precious kitties.  I even had an emergency and they were able to fit me in.  Very thorough with exam and diagnosis, explained everything in great detail.  This is a great choice if you want to feel like you are the only client they have.
