Puyallup Valley Veterinary Clinic

We are so thankful for Puyallup Valley Vet! Our young cat was misdiagnosed and given the incorrect treatment at another local clinic and suffered for two days. Dr. Karen at PVVC was willing and able to listen to our son (who brought the cat in), properly diagnose, and provide the correct treatment for our kitty. She is back to being herself and we also did not have to spend an unreasonable amount to get her feeling better! Thank you SO much! Read Less

I had the most OUTSTANDING appointment. I was greeted with superb customer service, followed by a warm and friendly, not to mention knowledgeable dr. Casey. He spent lots of time and made sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed. Throughout the entire visit, he made sure what ever the course of treatment, he detailed precisely the cost so as not to be shocked when I paid. I recommend this incredibly AMAZING veterinarian clinic to anybody out there who are hesitant. You WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! !! Read Less

Clinic is very clean and the price is reasonable but the staffs there are very rude and disrespectful. Especially, front desk lady name Andrea. She is the most unprofessional and disrespectful person I’ve ever seen in the industry. Read Less

We've had nothing but good experiences here. Our Great Dane Connor can get very anxious, but Dr. Casey does an amazing job at calming him down and has been so helpful every time we bring him in. The team and all of the gals at the front desk are so wonderful as well. Highly recommend! Read Less

Not only was I able to get in quickly but the staff is awesome! Dr Casey is amazing and full of information!! He also called to check on my Golden Retriever that night. Couldn’t ask for a more caring Vet!! Thank You!! Read Less

It's a pleasant and clean environment. All staff and vets are professional and caring. I have never waited more than 5 minutes to see the vet. There is usually only one other dog or no dogs waiting at the same time. I highly recommend this clinic. Read Less

Dr. Casey and Dr. Karen and staff are dedicated to the best care for our dog. We have had two Golden Retrievers that have been treated with an extraordinary level of compassion and care. We have been taking our dog to Puyallup Valley Vet Clinic for over twenty years. We are grateful that Dr. Casey and Dr. Karen take time to know our dog, and have a great rapport with us. We wouldn't take our sweet old Golden anywhere else. Read Less

Very positive experiences. Drs. Casey and Karen Kime have a lovely, holistic approach, and are great with my two pups, one of whom is difficult with strangers. Dr. Karen has great surgical skills--we met her initially when one needed some pretty major emergency facial reconstructive surgery after a trauma, and she healed up beautifully! Overall I think my dogs get great care here, and I am happy I found this clinic. Read Less

I found Puyallup valley during an unfortunate time, having to put a dog down, and fast... I have had the opportunity to see both vets at Puyallup valley vet, and both are great. I have had the chance to have Dr. Casey take on care for one of my dogs eyes.. His level of care not only for my pet but for me as the owner is unsurpassable. Everyone at this clinic is amazing, and I cannot say enough good about them. They love what they do and it shows through in all of their work. Thanks Puyallup valley vet for everything! Read Less

If you're a dog person you know that every few years life is going to hand you a big bowl of suck. Had to say goodbye to my best friend Samson Bigandfierce today, I want to thank the crew at Puyallup valley vet for their empathy and humanity, today and always. Read Less

This place was everything I was looking for in a vet. I am big on "mom and pop" business', this place is exactly that. I hate corporations. I met Dr. Casey for my kitty Isis. She was becoming an indoor cat and I had noticed she had a worm in her pee. A full segmented worm. Of course having an 8 year old and two indoor dogs I panicked. We got her in for an appointment with no issue through email. I asked for a price quote and they stayed on top of it. The only addition was a $20 rabies shot. That I was not at all sold to on it. We asked. I will be bringing in my dog who is turning 2 this month for a shot update and check up. I know dogs and cats can be a little different so we will see how that goes. Everyone was very friendly and the Dr. was very talkative in a good way. We drove here from Roy and he even mentioned a closer private clinic if my drive was too far. But 30 minutes is really nothing to me and I will continue the drive. I am a happy furry mom. Read Less

This was my fourth Vet to try since moving to Washington State two years ago. The reviews for this Vet were great, so that's why I decided to take our Golden Retriever to him. Dr. Casey took our Golden off Apoquel and referred us to the Tacoma Dermatology Vet Clinic. It didn't take long for the excessive paw licking, recurring bacteria infection, & ear infection to return. SHAME ON THIS VET!!! He has absolutely no bedside manner w/pets and/or their pet owners! Read Less

I was told about this veterinary clinic and took both our dogs in. Dr Casey is nice and great with the dogs and explaining the option and make sure everyone is happy. I would never go any place else after our first visit. Read Less

I highly recommend Dr. Karen: she is smart, professional, personable, and reasonable as both a doctor and person. I appreciate the way she handles our family's cats and I trust her advice and care. She and Dr. Casey have a strong team working alongside them, as well. Highly recommend!!! Read Less

They helped our family sort out all of our dogs' allergy problems and got him the best medications based on his accurate blood testing. They also continue to help and encourage us to keep his weight under control so he lives a long, healthy, and happy life. All of the staff members are welcoming, approachable, and truly have our dogs best interest at heart. We couldn't have asked for a better team watching over our dogs health, we highly recommend their services. Read Less

Casey and Karen Kime have been our vets for over 20 years, and have cared for, and loved our dogs well. When we had to euthanize our beloved Golden Retriever this summer, Casey and Pam came to the house and gently eased Maggie from this life. They couldn't have been more kind with all of us. Their common sense approach to the pet-owner relationship has guided us through some tough decisions! We appreciate their excellent care and their regard for us. We recommend them whenever we can. Read Less

We have taken our animals to their practice since they opened their business. We feel like family. We also have recommended them to friends. All of their staff is very friendly and caring. Karen and Kasey both suggest wise treatments for our animals and that are not our for making themselves wealthy on needless care. We will continue to use their skills, judgement and value their friendship. We consider our dogs as children. When we have had to put them down their staff feels our sorry with us. They are great people! Read Less

Hands down best vet we have had. Dr. Casey is amazing with our cat who can be very standoffish and doesn't like strangers touching him. We've had previous vets who had to sedate our cat in order to do a normal checkup. That was devastating! But Dr. Casey knows exactly how to handle every situation and our cat even let him shave part of his lower lip to check out an injury from a fight with another cat. I was shocked and awed! It was such a relief to see my poor injured cat being taken care of so diligently with the understanding that he isn't the most compliant kitty-patient. The staff is so friendly and knowledgable. You really feel like a priority when you are here and Dr. Casey takes his time with you to explain every situation and possible concerns or action plans to better the health of your pet. You won't go wrong taking your pet to Puyallup Valley Vet.Read Less

The staff @ puyallup Valley Vet are wonderful!! The care my Frenchies get (which is a lot) is always heartfelt and professional!!! We absolutely love them!! I highly recommend them if you are in the hunt for a GREAT veterinarian.... Read Less

Will allow someone to steal your dog even if their chipped and they called the 24 hour pet protection service that your dog is registered to in another city. I have contacted the Puyallup Police Departmemt. Read Less

I have been taking my pet cats there for 20 years. Prices are average. The vets listen to what you want. Stuff they sell you that does not turn out to work they buy back. They are not a "chain store" veterinary service. They are independent. They do their best with and for your animals. I wish they were open all day Saturday. Read Less

Love this place. We've bee going here for around 20 years and the care compassion and knowledge that they have shown towards me and my cats has been wonderful. They don't mince words, so you can make decisions based on realistic expectations. Everyone there is nice and welcoming. Read Less

Puyallup Valley Veterinary Clinic was recommended to us by a friend since we have moved to Spanaway from Kent and no longer take our pets to the vet in Bellevue that we had used for years. Our very first visit to them was with a sick German Shepard, that Dr. Casey saw and then referred to another vet in Tacoma that he felt would be better suited to treat our dog. Our dog ultimately was diagnosed with cancer and passed away a couple of weeks after the diagnosis. That being said - We appreciated that Dr. Casey felt that it was in the best interest of the pet to be seen by a specialist and not try to treat him himself. While I am sure the end result would have been the exact same, it just goes to show that they want what is best for the pet - not the bottom line. We will continue to bring any pet that we have to them as I am very confident that they will not get any better care anywhere else.Read Less

Molli and I went to Dr. Casey. He gave Molli, a yellow lab-German Shepard mix, a full first time check. She is six and half, but we moved across the country. I loved the personal service, the explanation of what he was doing, and the advice on weight and food.Most importantly, I didn't feel he was ever trying to push more product or more procedures. I also felt he was trying to win my business. He did. Plus, the staff was great. They welcomed us and made Molli feel at home. As we were leaving, they invited us back to use their scale to work a bit on her weight. Just a great welcoming place.Finally, the cost was less than what I was paying in rural Iowa, and think the care was better. Dr. Casey sure seemed to know his stuff! Read Less

I've been bringing my cat here for over 5 years and my dog for 3 years!  These folks truly care for your animals.  Both of the vets are friendly and very informative my rescue pup has had numerous aliments (too many to list) and they are always caring and very helpful when I bring him in.  The techs and front desk staff are long term employees and also care about your animals! I recommend this office to all of my friends. Read Less

By far the best veterinary clinic I've ever been to. Dr. Karen and Dr. Casey are so kind. We just started seeing them after our usual vet didn't have an opening, and during this stressful time of our dog experiencing health issues we have only been met with understanding and quality care. Thank you so much Puyallup Valley Veterinary Clinic!! Read Less

Puyallup Valley Veterinary Clinic has provided the care for my pets for over 15 years. I have trusted both Karen and Casey with the care of my dogs and the wealth of knowledge they provide is exceptional. The staff always make it easy for me to make appointments that are convient. I would not trust my pets to go anywhere else! Read Less

This was our first visit and I had such an amazing experience. The vet was very informative and took the time to go above and beyond with an explanation of things. I will be changing vets from our normal vet to this clinic. I cannot praise this clinic or the vet enough. Thank you Dr . Casey! Read Less

Today I left very disappointed in the way I was treated by Dr.Casey. My dog had a annual checkup so we could put her on Trifexis. He preceded to tell me she needed a heartworm test done which was not mentioned when I made the appointment and he gave me no option to do it or not. I asked about a bump on her toe and he preceded to tell me how serious the issue was and that he put in for blood work...not once mentioning how much this could cost me to get out the door. So I asked because I didn't want a $500 bill at the end when I walked in only expecting to pay $100 or so. He said with an attitude" well it will be much more than that" and yelled to the back for them not to do it. Then told me he was treating her ear infection again keeping the price a total secret...when I preceded to ask he replied with "about $40 so what you don't want to do that either today?"!!Then continued to tell me how obese my dog is even though she was down 6lbs since the last visit which was probably 3 months ago. But because I can't feel and count her ribs she needs to lose more weight!! What a joke this dr is! I am beyond irritated with the way he treated me. He treated me like a young poor kid that couldn't afford a dog! First off I can afford everything my dog needs, but when you want to make money so bad and don't want to be upfront about prices I WILL go else where. To keep business coming back I think he needs to control is attitude when asked questions we have the right to know, not continue with treatment until you talk and confirm everything with the person paying and respect the owner decisions!!!! I have never been treated so poorly!! Read Less

Absolutely awful vet. The girls were very nice however the actual veterinarian was a total ass. He poked my dog in the eye, was not gentle when giving him his shots, and told me i should be feeding him a diet high in corn meal (?). Not to mention the prices were outrageously high. I suggest you take your animals elsewhere if you care about them. Read Less

They are really care about your pets... Create service, they always friendly, just giving them a chance if you care about your pets... Really love everything about this place... Thank you for take care of my dogs Read Less

We have taken our cats here for years and they are by far the best vet in Pierce County! Dr. Casey & Dr. Karen are so loving and kind, you can really see that they care about your pet and you as the human. No matter where we move, they will be our vet forever! Read Less

i have been taking several generations of Golden Retrievers to Drs, Casey and Karen for almost 15 years. I drive about 24 miles one way to go here and I will not take my dogs anywhere else. My dogs run, wagging, IN the door of this place. The care they receive is absolutely top notch. Healthy, happy dogs is what i have- due in part to Casey, Karen and staff. And at a fair and reasonable price. If i could be attended to by these wonderful Drs. and their staff, i would be. I trust them explicitly with the very things i value most- my animals. Spot on diagnoses in a timely manner, great surgeries, wonderful recommendations and options given with love. my greatest fear is that they will retire before i die. i love these guys. my dogs love these guys.

I took our little Westie there for her chronic skin problems. After seeing the vet once and was given a treatment of meds her fur is growing back on her legs. We also had allergy testing on her. Now she's much better! I would definitely go back again! Read Less

I don't recall exactly how long I've been a client - about 4-5 years with 3 of my kids (cats and a dog). I'm the pet owner who does as much as I can to care for my kids. They've seen all of my kids for routine care (yearly exams and vaccines) and plenty more. I like this clinic for several reasons - it's a family owned business (husband & wife team), the Kime's went to WSU and I've always loved their veterinary teaching program and even worked at the hospital while a student there. At one point there was a 3rd vet but we only saw her once. The staff is always amazing, kind, understanding, knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful. When I go in, they always recognize me and my pets by name. They're more than willing to work with you in how services are paid for. They can even tell you of a cheap and easy way to treat fleas with Frontline. They like to give follow up calls to see how your pet is doing and offer a chance to ask any questions you may have. When I first started going I lived in Bonney Lake. I now live in Tacoma but still go out of my way to take my kids here because it's well worth it.Cat #1 - when I first brought her in, she was grossly overweight. We mostly saw Dr Casey while I had her. He started helping initially with her diet plan. Because she was a "kibble snob" and wouldn't eat canned food, I worked with them to find a plan "B." I learned about different types of dry food and was given information about brands/recipes to try. One of their vet techs, Pam, helped me farther once we found a food - using calories! She will calculate how many calories your pet needs, find out how much is in your food and calculate exactly how much you should be feeding for weight loss. (They can also help do this for weight maintenance.) Last year she got ill one day. We don't exactly know why. Within a few months there were more signs of illness. At this point she was seeing both Dr Casey & Dr Karen. Though there wasn't a good way for me to know exactly what was wrong, we had a lengthy phone conversation about all of the diagnostic test results, possible diagnoses, options and likely prognosis. When I lost her I opted for a private cremation. When I got her back there was lots of sweet surprises for me (that made me sad but I'm happy to have). My favorite of these is a clay heart with her paw print and name (with a heart to dot the "i") on it. There's also a butterfly on it. I remember laughing through my tears when I opened it because the paw print was so large. (My kitty was about 20lbs when I lost her.) Cat #2 - this kitty has only seen Dr Casey.  Mostly routine care though we had one "non issue" as Dr Casey called it once we were seen. I was able to call in to calculate the calories in her food and how much she should get each day to maintain her weight.Dog #1 - this dog has only seen Dr Casey. He was under socialized and with our first visit Dr Casey was respectful and knowledgeable with meeting him and handling him. (I didn't like that he was labeled as a possible biter because of his under socialization but I do understand because with an under socialized dog there's no way to know how they will react in a situation until it happens.) When he came in the room he immediately sat on the floor. We did our chatting and we proceeded to the rest of our visit. Prior to touching him, he'd allow him to sniff his hand. If he used any kind of instrument he allowed him to sniff that as well. The next time we went in he asked how the socializing was going and he didn't need to sit on the floor or have him sniff everything before handling him.I always have and always will highly recommend Puyallup Valley Vet Clinic to anybody searching for a vet clinic!

A+! Best in the area hands down. The Kime's are amazing and their staff is too. Great location with great facilities, they never fail to impress. So easy to work with and such an understanding and just overall pleasant group of people. Read Less

The love and compassion that Dr. Kime and his staff show is genuine.  I have been going here for years and have never had a bad experience. When my dog died they made me a paw print so I would have a keepsake. Awesome place!! Read Less

Highest praise for this clinic. After taking my cat to nearby VCA where I was treated rudely, upsold and charged an outrageous amount I promptly made an appointment here.My cat had crystals and received Laser treatment- it WORKED and was affordable.I'm really  impressed with Dr Casey who is out going, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain things.Pam our tech was so nice. I knew we were in good hands.This is a great place with real people who care. I will never go anywhere else. Don't hesitate, I think you will be as happy as I am. Read Less

I was so glad to find this vet! Dr. Karen and Dr. Casey were extremely helpful. My cat hadn't been feeling well and was in need of care ASAP. After visiting the emergency vet I wasn't pleased with the service and help.  I found this vet and was so relieved.  Both of the doctors came in to check out my cat and provide information about options and care.  They were very thorough and caring.  They both told me what they would do if it was their cat and also other options.  They made sure to check in with me after each visit to make sure everything was ok.  I couldn't recommend them any higher.

These people treated my dog like it was theirs. The doctor spent over and hour with me and my dog just getting to know him. They even called the next day to do a follow-up on him to make sure everything was okay. I will be going back for a long time! Read Less
