The front desk staff is mostly nice, except one lady. The communication from the doctor to the lab techs to the front operators is very poorly! My puppy broke his leg and I was in five days in a row because none of them knew what they were doing! They changed his cast and it fell of, then they put it back on without even looking at his leg and told me to come back the next day. So I went back the next day and they put on another new cast, again without seeing a doctor. They put the cast on way too tight and my puppy had skin sores and was cut from his toes being too squished. I called to tell them and they told me to bring him in right away. I did and they refused to look at him because “it’s fine if it’s just skin sores or he doesn’t walk on it” I took him to a new vet and they did an ex ray and they said he didn’t even need the cast!!

I've been taking my animals to Garland Animal Clinic since I've been a pet owner (about 10 years). They have always treated my animals well and have gone above and beyond to ensure they get the care they need. Today I had to call in when my dog ate something he shouldn't have and the assistant I spoke with, Heather, was able to pull up my dog's file and relay my questions to the Dr. on staff and helped me determine the best course of action without needing to bring him in. I'm very grateful for the advise and help I received today. It's obvious their goal is to keep animals safe and healthy, regardless if you are in the office or over the phone. I wont take my fur-babies anywhere else. Read Less

We were somewhat satisfied with the care when it came to our dogs, although my male had what looked like burns/scrapes the size of my palm on his abdomen after being neutered. When I called from home after picking him up to ask about the marks I was told that they weren’t responsible for them... They have misdiagnosed & treated our cat on three separate occasions, which has been costly. When my daughter called them to talk to them about the fact that he’s not any better, the woman at Garland was curt, unconcerned & unhelpful. We will not be returning. Read Less

My wife had to come here on one of the hardest days we’ve ever had. Our sweet boy was hit by a car, and even though he didn’t make it they did everything they could. They carried him in for us without notice, and the vet stopped what she was doing to examine him. When my wife realized he didn’t make it and was very distraught, everyone there did what they could to ease her pain. While this was a difficult experience, the sensitivity and kindness shown was beyond anything we’ve ever experienced with other vets and we cannot recommend them enough. Read Less

Even though my dog is a new patient, they had openings available the very next day. Priced VERY reasonably.

Took my dog in here needing a dental cleaning and an extraction - they said he had 3 loose teeth including two in the back (the expensive ones to extract) and said it would be about $500. We get his teeth done once a year and it blew me away. We took him in to another vet who said he only had ONE loose tooth - the one we knew of - and it will cost $200 Including the extraction. DVM April Weber likes to gouge people and remove teeth unnecessarily. Most the people in the office were there for dental procedures so I'm guessing this is a common scam there. Do some shopping.

The Garland Animal clinic is by far the best vet in Spokane. They are all so caring, compassionate, and dedicated. After taking my dog to petco to get her nails cut and having them strap her in and hold her down she began to have a fear of collars. We took her to Garland and told them the situation and responded with SUCH sympathy, and since then I will never take her to another place for nail trimmings! But that's only part of what this clinic has helped us through. She recently fell/jumped out of my car window while I was driving, and ended up shattering her knee cap. Dr. Boharski said he had only seen something like that happen a handful of times, and was up front with us about where we could go and the cost, and offered to do his best to fix the knee himself. We put our trust in him and he did not disappoint. After over a month of healing, vet visits, check-ups, our pup is feeling brand new. I couldn't be more thankful for this vet. With two vet visits a week for over a month (and even some in between when she chewed her bandages off), they were flexible, and understanding. Long story short this is the best vet in town, and I will ALWAYS take my pets here as long as I am in Spokane! Thank you to the friendly and helpful receptionists, thank you to all of the assistants who took such good care of our baby, and thank you to the Drs for being so dedicated to your work and doing it with such grace.Thank you Garland Animal Clinic for all that you do!Read Less

I have mixed feelings about the people that work here, their veterinarians are somewhat hit or miss (I'm judging based on overall friendliness, bedside manor, and how informative they may or may not be), but for the most part I don't have any serious complaints as far as that goes. I've taken my cat here for urinary tract problems many times, which was a very stressful time and only one of their vets left me with a less than positive feeling after a visit. My cat has been doing better for a couple months now, thank goodness. My one star review, however, is about a couple of phone calls between myself and the reptile vet that works there on Mondays and Tuesdays (I'm assuming it's not a regular employee considering they only see reptiles two days a week, but I'm not 100% positive). I have an adult female leopard gecko that I got from a friend (her name is Lilith), she was not being cared for properly at her previous home and I believe this has led to an accumulation of underlying health problems, or at least one health problem specifically, that being impaction. Her belly has been abnormally large since I've had her, it looks kind of swollen and full. She's always gotten around just fine and exhibited perfectly normal behavior until I fed her 4 medium sized dubia roaches which led to her not being able to go to the bathroom. After a few days of not finding poop in her enclosure, I became very worried, as she was not doing well and appeared to be very uncomfortable. Considering her history of being kept on dangerous substrates for all or most of her life, I feared that this could be very serious. This is what led to my phone call to Garland Animal Clinic. I spoke to their reptile vet on the phone and explained my situation, expressing my opinion that this was an emergency (it may not have been if it was only the one incident of being fed slightly too large dubia roaches, but given her history and her constantly full/swollen looking belly, I did not think this was something to be taken lightly as it seemed likely that there was an underlying problem). The lady told me she disagreed about it being an emergency, and told me to give my gecko warm soaks. She was VERY rude and condescending, and did not seem to care about my situation or the well-being of Lilith. She spoke in a way that gave me the impression that she thought I was stupid, like I had no idea what I was talking about, and like my geckos history was irrelevant and that I was basically just wrong about the severity of the situation (mind you, she made these assumptions without even LOOKING at my gecko). She did not seem like she wanted to be bothered with my questions, or with getting my gecko in to see her. I reluctantly got off the phone with her, feeling almost cheated in a way, because veterinarians are supposed to CARE about animals and WANT to HELP. I tried the warm soaks, and by the next morning I found poop. This victory, however, was only temporary. After a couple days I tried feeding her again because despite my worry, I knew I couldn't just starve her. I fed her 4 mealworms and she passed them. After a couple more days I fed her 4 phoenix worms, which are pretty soft, and she did not pass them. So here I am a week later, in the same spot. A healthy gecko should not become impacted that easily. If the vet had listened to my concerns and trusted that I knew something was wrong, we could have had this problem addressed a week ago, when I urged that this was a serious matter. I now feel lost, like I have no one to turn to, and Garland Animal Clinic made me feel this way. I'm very upset, as the life of my leopard gecko is very important to me, and it should have been to the veterinarian I spoke with over the phone last week, but sadly was not. I pay good money for their services, it is unacceptable for one of their people to make me feel this way. I realize they're a veterinary clinic and not a retail store, but basic customer service rules should still apply to their interactions with the people that come to them for help with their animals.

Busy as always, still very welcoming and kind! Dr. Grace as always was very and understanding of our story. She did what she could while our Max was awake, he needed to be slightly sedated so Dr. Grace do a better exam of his teeth. Dr. asked me to go home and she would call me as soon as she was done, and she did a short time later, advising me that the exam didn't find any cracks or broken teeth! Told me I could come pick him up anytime. Dr. Grace made very good chart notes outlining what to feed him for dinner and if he wasn't better in the morning to bring him back in. Read Less

My Viola was a little bit on the nervous/fearful side when it came to vets. The wonderful Vets and Nurses took the time to recognize her behavior and found that wrapping a blanket around her calms her so they can do whatever work needed. I really appreciate that they didn't rush into drugs but found an alternative method that works. Sadly, she has since passed away, but I have a new puppy and I will not take him anywhere else.

I usually go to Audubon Vet on NW Blvd but this vet is closer to my house and has great ratings on here so I decided I'd try it out. I went in a little early to do paperwork and it was super busy in there and no one even greeted me. My cat ended up wetting herself since it took so long to be called. She needed a bath so they didn't have time for an exam, so I dropped her off so they could bathe her. They say she was examined but I'm not even sure if she actually was because I wasn't there, but they charged me anyways for it, around $55, while at Audubon it's only around $30. I ended up spending around $85 (with the bath) which is ridiculous in my opinion. The vet was nice, but if you want to pay less money and go to a friendlier less stressful environment, I'd recommend Audubon.Read Less

I love the docs at Garland Animal!  My dogs have been in for their routine care and shots and some other concerns along the way.  Anything from a rash, lump, ears and a torn ACL.  They provide great care at reasonable prices.  I do wish they had  larger building so they wouldnt have to remove your animal from your care to weigh and do routine things.  But they do well with the space they have!  They are always super busy but they always get us in!  I'm very grateful for Dr Boharski and the microscopic surgery he did on my young labs ACL tear.  She healed quickly!

I have only been taking my cat here for about a week, but I absolutely love it. I came home to my cat being unable to walk last week and after her being diagnosed with epilepsy by another vet I decided to take her to Garland Animal Clinic to get a second opinion. They were able to make me an appointment the day I called and were extremely friendly when I got there. I could not be happier I chose to go here. My cat has mostly been seeing Dr.Grace but the entire staff is very welcoming and helpful. Although we have not yet figured out what exactly is wrong with her, we have been able to rule out a lot of potential causes, and Dr. Grace is great about laying out all options, answering questions, and telling me exactly what each thing will cost so I am never surprised by the bill at the end of the day. They have made the last couple of days a lot easier and have been really good about assuring me that we will figure out what is wrong with her and make her healthy again. I am very hopeful we will get everything figured out and am very confident in the ability of their staff to find a diagnosis. Read Less

Oh this place is just wonderful. My dog was really sick last night (friday), and we were left with no choice but to take her to the emergency place on Mission and Division. They helped us, but they wanted 1300 to keep her overnight and run blood work. I said no to that, but they gave her some pain killer and anti nausea stuff to get through the night. That ran me about 264 bucks.The next morning, I ran her up to Garland and they got me right in without an appt. I think I arrived around 8:30 and was seen in the first few minutes I was there. They gave me 3 prescriptions (2 anti biotics and 1 anti nausea), 4 cans of food, and had a stool sample done for 107-they didn't even charge me for the visit.  They always start small and work their way up when our pets have problems All of the staff and the vets there have been incredibly helpful and sincerely sympathetic through all of our needs. I've been to other vets in the past who start out big when the problem was fairly simple. They are always insanely busy, but they manage to do such a wonderful job with everyone. I always feel my pets are welcome and well taken care of here. Read Less

I have a cat and a dog, and since I've been back in Spokane after 20 years in Seattle, I haven't found a vet that I really like.  I'm so glad I found the Garland Animal Clinic.  They are crazy busy, but there's a good reason,  It's very apparent that they put the care of your pets first.  My cat needed some dental work done, and Dr. Grace was so caring and professional and didn't try to talk me into a bunch of unnecessary tests like some places do.   I knew the cost would be at least $200-$500, and she did everything she could to keep the costs down.  I know at other clinics around town it would have been several hundred dollars more.  I highly recommend them if you're looking for a new vet.

I tried several different vet clinics before a friend recommended this one. I've used it for years and wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. They have 4 vets who work there, so you typically can get an appointment that day or the following day. They seem to genuinely care about your pets, and I have on occasion asked about procedures or supplements and had the vet tell me it wasn't necessary, so I absolutely trust them to be honest and not just take my money. When I had to put one of my dogs down the entire staff was very courteous and respectful. I went straight into a room, no waiting in the lobby bawling in front of strangers, they came into my room beforehand to get the payment for the euthanasia so I didn't have to stand out front to pay after just putting my dog down, and when the awful moment came and my dog passed away, the vet cried with me.  It's the little things that let you know they really care and it's more than just a job.

One of my dogs cut herself pretty badly. I thought, for a while, that I could handle it myself, that I could tape her up and it would heal. But she wouldn't leave it alone, and it wasn't healing at all, so we decided it was good and time to switch veterinarians. Our old vet, who we still love (and who is a friend of ours) moved to a clinic far enough away that going to her would mean spending almost as much on gas as on a vet bill. And Garland Animal Clinic is close by. A few things about why I already love these folks.1. They were overwhelmed, with on of the vets on vacation, but they handled it very nicely. I was late, and expected a wait, and I got one. But I never felt like I was waiting for no good reason.2. The staff was extremely friendly and good with pets. You would think this would always be the case, but frankly it isn't. Which is too bad. These folks know what they're doing, and they're doing it well.3. They took care of my sweetheart pup in good order, in good time, and didn't fail to tell her how good a dog she was, How loving and happy. 4. It just felt good being there. I felt taken care of. The office is small, but they do well in the space they have. They don't crowd you with things they're trying to sell. It seems as if their primary concern is your pet.

The front desk staff is mostly nice, except one lady. The communication from the doctor to the lab techs to the front operators is very poorly! My puppy broke his leg and I was in five days in a row because none of them knew what they were doing! They changed his cast and it fell of, then they put it back on without even looking at his leg and told me to come back the next day. So I went back the next day and they put on another new cast, again without seeing a doctor. They put the cast on way too tight and my puppy had skin sores and was cut from his toes being too squished. I called to tell them and they told me to bring him in right away. I did and they refused to look at him because “it’s fine if it’s just skin sores or he doesn’t walk on it” I took him to a new vet and they did an ex ray and they said he didn’t even need the cast!!

The Garland Animal clinic is by far the best vet in Spokane. They are all so caring, compassionate, and dedicated. After taking my dog to petco to get her nails cut and having them strap her in and hold her down she began to have a fear of collars. We took her to Garland and told them the situation and responded with SUCH sympathy, and since then I will never take her to another place for nail trimmings! But that's only part of what this clinic has helped us through. She recently fell/jumped out of my car window while I was driving, and ended up shattering her knee cap. Dr. Boharski said he had only seen something like that happen a handful of times, and was up front with us about where we could go and the cost, and offered to do his best to fix the knee himself. We put our trust in him and he did not disappoint. After over a month of healing, vet visits, check-ups, our pup is feeling brand new. I couldn't be more thankful for this vet. With two vet visits a week for over a month (and even some in between when she chewed her bandages off), they were flexible, and understanding. Long story short this is the best vet in town, and I will ALWAYS take my pets here as long as I am in Spokane!

I have mixed feelings about the people that work here, their veterinarians are somewhat hit or miss (I'm judging based on overall friendliness, bedside manor, and how informative they may or may not be), but for the most part I don't have any serious complaints as far as that goes. I've taken my cat here for urinary tract problems many times, which was a very stressful time and only one of their vets left me with a less than positive feeling after a visit. My cat has been doing better for a couple months now, thank goodness. My one star review, however, is about a couple of phone calls between myself and the reptile vet that works there on Mondays and Tuesdays (I'm assuming it's not a regular employee considering they only see reptiles two days a week, but I'm not 100% positive). I have an adult female leopard gecko that I got from a friend (her name is Lilith), she was not being cared for properly at her previous home and I believe this has led to an accumulation of underlying health problems, or at least one health problem specifically, that being impaction. Her belly has been abnormally large since I've had her, it looks kind of swollen and full. She's always gotten around just fine and exhibited perfectly normal behavior until I fed her 4 medium sized dubia roaches which led to her not being able to go to the bathroom. After a few days of not finding poop in her enclosure, I became very worried, as she was not doing well and appeared to be very uncomfortable. Considering her history of being kept on dangerous substrates for all or most of her life, I feared that this could be very serious. This is what led to my phone call to Garland Animal Clinic. I spoke to their reptile vet on the phone and explained my situation, expressing my opinion that this was an emergency (it may not have been if it was only the one incident of being fed slightly too large dubia roaches, but given her history and her constantly full/swollen looking belly, I did not think this was something to be taken lightly as it seemed likely that there was an underlying problem). The lady told me she disagreed about it being an emergency, and told me to give my gecko warm soaks. She was VERY rude and condescending, and did not seem to care about my situation or the well-being of Lilith. She spoke in a way that gave me the impression that she thought I was stupid, like I had no idea what I was talking about, and like my geckos history was irrelevant and that I was basically just wrong about the severity of the situation (mind you, she made these assumptions without even LOOKING at my gecko). She did not seem like she wanted to be bothered with my questions, or with getting my gecko in to see her. I reluctantly got off the phone with her, feeling almost cheated in a way, because veterinarians are supposed to CARE about animals and WANT to HELP. I tried the warm soaks, and by the next morning I found poop. This victory, however, was only temporary. After a couple days I tried feeding her again because despite my worry, I knew I couldn't just starve her. I fed her 4 mealworms and she passed them. After a couple more days I fed her 4 phoenix worms, which are pretty soft, and she did not pass them. So here I am a week later, in the same spot. A healthy gecko should not become impacted that easily. If the vet had listened to my concerns and trusted that I knew something was wrong, we could have had this problem addressed a week ago, when I urged that this was a serious matter. I now feel lost, like I have no one to turn to, and Garland Animal Clinic made me feel this way. I'm very upset, as the life of my leopard gecko is very important to me, and it should have been to the veterinarian I spoke with over the phone last week, but sadly was not. I pay good money for their services, it is unacceptable for one of their people to make me feel this way. I realize they're a veterinary clinic and not a retail store, but basic customer service rules should still apply to their interactions with the people that come to them for help with their animals.

Dr. Boharski is the kindest most empathetic and sensitive Veterinarian I honestly have ever dealt with... My little kitty Blue who isn't even 2 yet was near death and everyone at the clinic has been so kind to my little boy and I and have had my kitty two days now and have been taking good care of him, he has to have two different surgeries so far and this is something I've never had to deal with, this was an adopted kitten from Humane society and is turning into the most expensive pet I've ever owned.... I'm a single mom and this isn't in my expenses, but I have a little boy who misses his kitty and another cat at home that really misses her baby brother so a momma has gotta do what she's gotta do.lol.. Thank you to everyone that has been so kind to us, and the front desk girls and all the other girls there who've been so kind and sensitive to my son and I when we chime in to visit our kitty that past couple days..

My Viola was a little bit on the nervous/fearful side when it came to vets. The wonderful Vets and Nurses took the time to recognize her behavior and found that wrapping a blanket around her calms her so they can do whatever work needed. I really appreciate that they didn't rush into drugs but found an alternative method that works. Sadly, she has since passed away, but I have a new puppy and I will not take him anywhere else. They may be busy, but they are worth it. The staff are a genuine caring group who treat these furkids like they are one of their own. I would without a doubt recommend them. Read Less

I usually go to Audubon Vet on NW Blvd but this vet is closer to my house and has great ratings on here so I decided I'd try it out. I went in a little early to do paperwork and it was super busy in there and no one even greeted me. My cat ended up wetting herself since it took so long to be called. She needed a bath so they didn't have time for an exam, so I dropped her off so they could bathe her. They say she was examined but I'm not even sure if she actually was because I wasn't there, but they charged me anyways for it, around $55, while at Audubon it's only around $30. I ended up spending around $85 (with the bath) which is ridiculous in my opinion. The vet was nice, but if you want to pay less money and go to a friendlier less stressful environment, I'd recommend Audubon.Read Less

I have only been taking my cat here for about a week, but I absolutely love it. I came home to my cat being unable to walk last week and after her being diagnosed with epilepsy by another vet I decided to take her to Garland Animal Clinic to get a second opinion. They were able to make me an appointment the day I called and were extremely friendly when I got there. I could not be happier I chose to go here. My cat has mostly been seeing Dr.Grace but the entire staff is very welcoming and helpful. Although we have not yet figured out what exactly is wrong with her, we have been able to rule out a lot of potential causes, and Dr. Grace is great about laying out all options, answering questions, and telling me exactly what each thing will cost so I am never surprised by the bill at the end of the day. They have made the last couple of days a lot easier and have been really good about assuring me that we will figure out what is wrong with her and make her healthy again. I am very hopeful we will get everything figured out and am very confident in the ability of their staff to find a diagnosis. Read Less

Oh this place is just wonderful. My dog was really sick last night (friday), and we were left with no choice but to take her to the emergency place on Mission and Division. They helped us, but they wanted 1300 to keep her overnight and run blood work. I said no to that, but they gave her some pain killer and anti nausea stuff to get through the night. That ran me about 264 bucks.The next morning, I ran her up to Garland and they got me right in without an appt. I think I arrived around 8:30 and was seen in the first few minutes I was there. They gave me 3 prescriptions (2 anti biotics and 1 anti nausea), 4 cans of food, and had a stool sample done for 107-they didn't even charge me for the visit.  They always start small and work their way up when our pets have problems All of the staff and the vets there have been incredibly helpful and sincerely sympathetic through all of our needs. I've been to other vets in the past who start out big when the problem was fairly simple. They are always insanely busy, but they manage to do such a wonderful job with everyone.

I tried several different vet clinics before a friend recommended this one. I've used it for years and wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. They have 4 vets who work there, so you typically can get an appointment that day or the following day. They seem to genuinely care about your pets, and I have on occasion asked about procedures or supplements and had the vet tell me it wasn't necessary, so I absolutely trust them to be honest and not just take my money. When I had to put one of my dogs down the entire staff was very courteous and respectful. I went straight into a room, no waiting in the lobby bawling in front of strangers, they came into my room beforehand to get the payment for the euthanasia so I didn't have to stand out front to pay after just putting my dog down, and when the awful moment came and my dog passed away, the vet cried with me.  It's the little things that let you know they really care and it's more than just a job.

One of my dogs cut herself pretty badly. I thought, for a while, that I could handle it myself, that I could tape her up and it would heal. But she wouldn't leave it alone, and it wasn't healing at all, so we decided it was good and time to switch veterinarians. Our old vet, who we still love (and who is a friend of ours) moved to a clinic far enough away that going to her would mean spending almost as much on gas as on a vet bill. And Garland Animal Clinic is close by. A few things about why I already love these folks.1. They were overwhelmed, with on of the vets on vacation, but they handled it very nicely. I was late, and expected a wait, and I got one. But I never felt like I was waiting for no good reason.2. The staff was extremely friendly and good with pets. You would think this would always be the case, but frankly it isn't. Which is too bad. These folks know what they're doing, and they're doing it well.3. They took care of my sweetheart pup in good order, in good time, and didn't fail to tell her how good a dog she was, How loving and happy. 4. It just felt good being there. I felt taken care of. The office is small, but they do well in the space they have. They don't crowd you with things they're trying to sell. It seems as if their primary concern is your pet. And that's what I want in a vet.And that's what I got here. Read Less
