East Padden Animal Hospital

They fitted my elderly cat in for an appointment on Memorial Day when they were already so busy and short staffed. I appreciate the attention they gave us, everyone was friendly, efficient and thorough. Read Less

Every animal hospital and vet should spend some time here so they can see for themselves how our pets and there owners should be treated. East Padden Animal Hospital is a breath of fresh air in the world of Veterinary Care Read Less

I'd give ten stars if I could! When our bunny had a problem we were able to get an appointment very quickly and the level of service we received was really remarkable. Everyone was so kind and loving, and Dr. Thompson listened to our concerns, gave Olive a thorough exam, and took care of the problem right then and there. We were so impressed with her thoughtful exam and really appreciated hearing her talk through what she was looking at so we leave as more knowledge as rabbit owners. We are so grateful and know our dogs and bunnies receive the best possible care. Thank you! Read Less

Had to take my cat in an emergency for possible obstruction of his bladder and they took EXCELLENT care of my cat. They gave my all options for treatment/therapy allowing me to opt out of stuff that he didn't need. They were also very thorough with their communications and follow-ups. I would HIGHLY recommend this clinic for any/all animal pet care needs. Read Less

I had to have an emergency vet visit. Everyone there was super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I am really happy with them. Not only did they help my fur baby, they have called me regularly to check up on her and make sure she's getting better. They really care about your animals health. They have gone above and beyond compared to some other vets I've been to in the area. Read Less

After a terrible experience at our last clinic. We received a recommendation to come to this clinic. Such a great experience! Surgery appointments available for the same week and on a Sunday! We were able to get our pup neutered, a nail trim, vaccines, an exam and pain medication for a reasonable bundled price! The two times we’ve been to the clinic there wasn’t even a wait for our appointment! Thanks again! Read Less

I brought my pet rat, Smalls, here this morning. All of the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Smalls saw Dr. Thompson - extremely nice, did complete examination and offered diagnostic options and treatment and let me decide how to proceed. I am glad to have found a vet in the area who will see pocket pets as not all of them will. They are very knowledgeable and I will be taking my pets there while I'm in the Vancouver area. As a bonus they gave me my invoice & visit summary by email which is very convenient. Read Less

We switched to East Padden because we wanted to start our girl on acupuncture and decided to stay. Dr. Vanessa Hawkins is our regular vet and she is so caring and realistic with our girl. We just started chiropractic care with Dr. Kremer and after the first appointment already see some healing. Thank you for taking such good care of Mochi! Read Less

This is the only veterinarian place I will bring our dogs. Their service is exceptional, but most important is the way they obviously love animals. My Gracie was just in there for surgery and she was taken care of with the love and compassion. Thank you to the Dr's and rest of the staff for giving our furry kids the best care possible! Read Less

I gave 4 stars because I really wish vets would do payment plans, as for the staff very nice called my vet could not get me in told us to try east padded so I called got me right in. Unfortunately my kitty had to be put down but the vet and staff where very helpful and understanding. Miss my fur baby so much but thankfully he is no longer in pain. If this place would do payment plans I would give them 10 star's! Never have been here befor if I do get another pet I will bring them to this vet! Read Less

Extremely impressed with the kindness from ALL staff members from the minute I walked in until I left. I had to put down a puppy and have a Momma Bulldog deliver a baby, all in one day! You guys are amazing and made my stressful day bearable! Thank you! Read Less

Everybody was really nice, but they were way busier than we were told over the phone. They said they had time to see my puppy but they really did not, was going to take hours to get some x-rays done. The vet tech was awesome and everybody was nice but there is no way i was going to leave my puppy there. I do not know any of them, and this was our first time there, they wanted me to leave him for hours with them. No way Read Less

East Padden Animal Hospital was amazing!! Our puppy, Bailey, had the symptoms of a UTI.  They got us in within a couple of hours, even on a Sunday!  We also got our exam for free for being a first time client! Thank you East Padden Animal Hospital for taking wonderful care of our baby girl! Read Less

Our lab was due to deliver her pups and ended up having complications. We had tried our normal vet we had been going to for 3 years and they were "too full" to help us. We were referred here by the emergency vet. We called asking for help and they said yes right away. They had never seen our dog before but still helped us right away. The doctor and techs performed an emergency csection on our dog. We thought we would only get one pup saved and they saved 2 for us. They also took such GREAT care of our girl. They were so kind to us when we were very emotional and worried. They answered every question and kept us informed the entire time. Even the girls up front were so wonderful to us while we were there for 3 hours waiting. We will be continuing our vet services here from now on!Read Less

This is meant to be constructive and is no way lashing out or impugning the reputation of this animal hospital. I choose to go here and wouldn't,  if it were not a quality business:    My pets are patients at East Padden Animal Hospital. Overall, they receive quality care. But the establishment is quite expensive and  they "soft sell" extra procedures, which can confuse you as to what your dog basically needs.    The wait times vary, but I've waited 1/2 hour up to an hour and a half (with an Appt). Like any hospital, emergencies happen. It doesn't seem like they triage basic procedures to one person and emergencies to another. I see others waiting just as long. This just what I surmise from the customer standpoint.   On the flip side when my dog had to be put to sleep, they were very compassionate and gave us all the time we needed to be with our pet.    So you can't go wrong taking your pet here, but be aware you might wait, you may pay a bit more, and really ask about costs so there are no surprises. The front desk staff are very apologetic and kind. Read Less

I took my dog here when it appeared that he had developed an ear infection.  The vet gave him his customary initial check up as part of the appointment.  Before even checking his ears for the infection, she "discovered" that it "sounded" like he MIGHT have a heart murmur.  The vet recommended that my dog get a sonogram and several other expensive tests to see if he had a murmur and to see how bad the murmur actual was.  When I asked, "if he does have a heart murmur, can it be treated", she said, "no there isn't anything that can really be done to treat it or fix it, but at least you'll know that he as it".  So you want me to pay you hundreds (probably a couple of thousand dollars) to try to diagnose something that can't be treated or fixed just so that I have something to worry about for the rest of my dogs life?  Also, my dog is 9 years old now.  He has been seen by at least 5 other vets over the course of his life and not a single one of them has ever "discovered" his possible heart murmur.After this, she finally got around to checking my dogs ears.  She had brought two cotton swab sticks into the room with her.  She grabbed them, set one of them on the dirty floor, took the other one and swabbed his bad ear, then took the other swab off the floor and swabbed his good his.  She then set both of them directly on a dirty stool in the exam room.  What kind of unsanitary operation is this?  And yes, she was treating my dog while sitting on the floor.  I've never had a vet do this before.  My dog only weights 30 pounds.  He can fit on the exam table very easily.  He is a Jack Russell and is very calm.  I'm not sure why he had to be treated on the dirty floor.She left the exam room with the two swabs and then the vet assistant walked in to go over the charges.  They wanted $233 to treat both the ears.  He was only having problems with one ear, but some some reason they felt the need to culture and then treat both ears.  By this point, I was pretty feed up with this place.  I told them to just flush out his ears and that I would take care of the rest.  The bill for just much came to nearly $100.

I haven't been here before, but I had a kitten handed off to me and it was going to live with us so I needed to know if it had any diseases it could pass off to my other cat. Our other vet didn't have any opening immediately so I called here and got her tested right away. And gave me a free exam for a first time client. Which I was happy with they didn't make me wait a week to see if she has anything that could be passed along. And now she lives with us. I'm a happy pet owner. I go there now for all her updates and my other cat too! I recommend here, they don't seem like they take your money like other vet offices do. Read Less

I can't say enough good things about EPAH! The staff are very friendly and truly love their patients. Dr. Anderson spent a long time reviewing our puppy's previous vet visits from another clinic and offered additional advice. She is very knowledgeable about pet allergies and have us information on treatment. She didn't push products on us and wrote a prescription for us to purchase his prescribed food at any location. Definitely schedule an appointment with this clinic. **BONUS - it's right next door to Papa Murphys. Order dinner before your appointment and pick it up after. Read Less

I had a emergency C section the Saturday before Easter, my vet could not help me they sent me to CRVS who are very nice but V E R Y expensive, I asked them if they could think of ANY place else I could go, they suggested East Padden Animal Hospital. I called and they were kind enough to take us in, it literally was half the vet bill of what the emegency services was going to be. I LOVE CRVS when you need them and the is literally NO ONE else, but these guys are now my new go to place! Thank you so much Read Less

i never write reviews, but i was referred hhere by my vet as she was out of town. my rabbit was seen after about 45 minutes waiting. my rabbit had gotten in a fight with another and her noes was partially hanging off. the vet wanted to do reconstructive surgery even though it wasnt affecting its functionality, i just wanted the excess removed so it didnt get caught on anything. she took my rabbit back to shave some fur down and see how bad under it was... i waited another 40 minutes, she ddidnt come back in just her tech, with a piece of paper the vet had put together as a treatment plan. all of the medications were unnecessary, my rabbit was free range so once i realized she was injured it took awhile to coax her the wound was basically healed up already. they wanted me to pay 100 in medication that she didnt need, and $700 for a reconstructive surgery she didnt need,. this was rediculous. i take may animals in a lot at my main vet and i know the cost of somehing like that. it would have been about $200. and the meds maybe $40.. i was hesitant on coming here because i knew it would be expensive but really? 3x the price? for something not necessary? no, i'll stick with mine. so if you want to save money and have exceptional care... go to camas washougal animal hospital. it is the cheapest in camas/vancouver and surrounding areas. i've researched prices and trust me.. this is the place to go Read Less

I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. Dr. Hawkins is the BEST!!! The whole team at East Padden is awesome!!! They are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. OPEN 7 days a week, until 8 PM, makes them able to handle most pet emergencies too. I LOVE THEM!! Read Less

After just moving to Vancouver, my dog had an emergency come up. We had not found a local vet yet and had to visit three different offices in the morning to find a vet that had a doctor on staff early that day. I am so glad it ended up being East Padden. They have been nothing but caring, and have made my dog and I feel right at home, right away. I have never been to a vet with doctors and staff that are so personable and attentive, both in and outside of the office. From the consistent and welcomed follow-up calls post-surgery, to the availability of the Doctor to personally have a phone conversation with me answering a few questions after-hours, we have absolutely found our local vet in Vancouver. I can't speak for the other vets in town, but East Padden is hands down the best I've been to in over 6 years! Thanks again for taking such wonderful care of Bailey!! Read Less

I always feel like my fur kid gets the best and most thorough care here! I always get a very comprehensive report of her visit and they handle her with such love and care! It took me a while to find a place where I felt my kiddo was treated as a member of my family...I am so glad I found this place! Read Less

Took my gf and her dog here Got a quote on the phone. Ended up costing 5x what they said. And they couldn't answer any of the questions "I don't know" and I'm not sure isn't a vet I'd use. I had an appointment for my dog as well after hers I didn't bother to bring him in after that. Won't be back here again. Way over priced and very unprofessional. Read Less

I've taken my dog to East Padden for well care, vaccinations etc. Saturday afternoon after returning home from a few days out of town I noticed she had a large infected abscess. East Padden got her in within two hours. They had to perform a surgical,procedure to clean & drain the abscess. It was done immediately with very good explanation of treatment options & costs. They called to check on her. She is feeling much better thanks to East Padden's great care!! Thank you! Read Less

I'd been out of town & when I got home my dog had a huge infected abcess . East Padden got us in within two hours & performed surgery right away to drain and treat the abscess! They are so good to explain options & costs! Two days later & my dog is feeling so much better.! Read Less

The visit that I had I'm a doctor that's not my dog was very kind very patient very considerate and also very caring of my puppy dog. Some of the questions I had she answered me in very simple terms that I could understand and thanks to watch for and just to keep an eye on and the concern that I saw in her eyes and heard in her voice comforted me as I know it did my Ringo. Thank you for your courteousness Read Less

I've been to East Padden Animal Hospital many times and I have been more than satisfied every time. They have great customer service and my pets have always been well taken care of. Very clean and professional. I won't go anywhere else. Read Less

Thanks for taking good care of Thrasher! He is a grumpy and temperamental kitty when it comes to vets, since he has been through a lot in his short life, but even though he scares them a little, they take great care of him and are excited to see his handsome face. They realize that he is a very special kitty. Read Less

Being new to the area I was nervous about choosing a new office to entrust my furry companions too. Much to my surprise and delight East Padden Animal Hospital is wonderful! The facility is extremely accommodating with the most convenient hours for working professionals. The front desk staff was friendly, welcoming, and polite while juggling the occasional phone call and assisting with new patient documents. Even the wonderful furry welcome greeter perched on the office chair was happy for a new patient. From a treatment perspective Dr. Nicole Lindstrom was professional and informative while considering all of my observations as well as her clinical findings. Pricing on testing was very fair and results were sent back within 24 hours. Lastly, from a documentation perspective this office is spot on- extremely detailed appointment notes were emailed within 8 hours showing not only did the veterinarian listen throughout the appointment but documented all details. I could not be happier with this office and the excellent care I have received thus far! Read Less

Dr.Tracy Thompson is the best. She is so compassionate. She takes the time to explain your pet's situation with all the possible outcomes. Her staff is professional and well qualified. They all truly care about the animals and their owners and it is very evident every time you are in the clinic. Our animals receive amazing care and we understand what is going on!! Thanks East Padden!! Read Less

There isn't enough words to express how amazing Dr. Kenny & her entire staff are. Not only are they kind, compassionate, patient, skilled, & knowledgeable they keep you informed & part of the decision making for a treatment plan for your pet. We took our dog there yesterday for the first time who ended up in emergency surgery for a few hours & Dr. Kenny & her team went above & beyond & made instant lifetime customers with us. Their love of animals clearly shows & it is obvious their hearts are genuine & in their jobs for the right reasons. I also thought given all that was done for my dog & the lengthy surgery the price was very fair & I know going other places it would of been thousands more. I couldn't given them a higher recommendation or be more grateful for all they did for my fur baby. Thank you Dr. Kenny & staff you are all exceptional & should be so proud of the team you have.Read Less

I recently got a puppy and spent a LONG time looking up which vet would be the best for her. When we came here they were so awesome and friendly and they told us about the "Puppy Package." Which was 250 for pretty much everything she could ever need in 3 appointments plus 10% off her procedure to get spayed. We thought it was SUCH a good deal, we were so excited. We thought they'd make sure she was all healthy, give her the shots she needs. As time went on, every time we went there again there was another thing she was "due" for that is another 20 bucks that of course isn't included in the puppy package. She got a small injury on her eye and they charged us another 120 for eye drops that she ended up not even needing after 2 days. We later find out she has worms, that apparently the 250 dollar puppy package that includes deworming doesn't cover. So we were charge another 65 to get meds that we found out later didn't help whatsoever, along with another 50 dollar fecal sample. Once we found out that she STILL had worms they wanted to up the dosage and add on a few more meds costing again around 80 bucks plus ANOTHER 50 dollar fecal sample. This time we instead went and got the meds they suggested from the store for 15 DOLLARS and now she's all better. We also called around to a few vets on how much getting her fixed would be and we're now going to a new vet that has a 30 dollar fecal sample and that will also be 130 to get her fixed instead of our wonderful 10% off price and 250. We spent almost 600 dollars at East Padden in less than 3 months and would've spent almost 1,000. They're very nice people and we're great with my dog, but going there was definitely a huge mistake and we will never be going there again. Read Less

Dr. Tracy Thompson is a wonderful doctor. Not only did our family feel at ease knowing our animals were in good hands, our dogs also loved the doctor and her helpers. We've been going to this veterinarian for a long time. The Doctors and staff have been with us through life and death of our pets. I know the doctor is thorough when she checks our dogs. The care we get for our babies is above average.Read Less
