I have had cats, dogs and horses over the years in various places around the country, and I have always sought out the best veterinary clinic I could find. I have generally been very satisfied with my choices, because they did a satisfactory job. We recently moved to Spokane and this time I found a gem! VCA Manito is not good. They are not satisfactory. They are GREAT. I have two kitties. One is a diabetic with chronic pancreatitis who becomes very aggressive when fearful, while the other is so timid around strangers that he virtually freezes in terror at the vet’s office. It becomes a real problem when they need to be boarded. Neither will eat, which is a dangerous problem if they must stay more than a couple of days, and is compounded for my diabetic/pancreatitis-suffering boy because of medication requirements. No sane person wants (or is even able) to medicate a snarling, terrified cat. Not everyone knows how to soothe and encourage the dictionary’s definition of a “scaredy-cat”. Except for these professionals. Thank God for them! Their skill, gentleness and kindness calms my kitties to the point where they actually WILL eat. Medication is administered. And terror is greatly minimized. Result? I come back to two kitties who are (make no mistake) happy to be heading home, but are not traumatized, not hissing at each other, and are not starved half to death. They also don’t give me the cold shoulder for days because I abandoned them at a scary place. From every, single outstanding employee, front desk to the vets (I have experience with both Dr Purvis and Dr Cathey, who are FANTASTIC), to the Care Club they offer that has allowed me to spread out the payments for two expensive dentals (and offers a lot of other cost saving benefits, too), I have never found anywhere that even comes CLOSE to the awesomeness of this clinic! VCA Manito has a client for life in me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the entire staff! Read Less

Our dog for attacked by two other dogs and we decided to take him to this vet. We ended up having to put him down. They were so kind and understanding. They multiple times helped us find the best solutions. They were also very understanding of our money situation. They even sent us a card after we had to put the our dog down. Very good people.
