Sumner Veterinary Hospital

My chihuahua's got into to trash and I caught one with mouth full of a 1/4 of of a very large very green hot dog. The other looked just as guilty. I knew what needed to be done just not the how or how much frantically calling number after number poison control, animal control and vets getting no where without $$$$$.! then i dialed 253 501 4415 and soon as i told them the problem ask what to give & how much. they gave me the answers and for the next 20 mins took several calls and never once were they anything but kind, patience , compassionate, quick and efficient . oh did I say patience. To the staff working the night of march 20th around 8:45 9:00 pm I thank you so much for all your help. Appreciate how prompt and honest and patient you all were and most of all that you gave me the information necessary without the whole run around of $$$$$. Thank you ! God Bless from Bean & Buddy & Myself

Took my sick puppy in due to she was not wanting to drink or eat and walking funny. So they did a parvo test and it came back posatev I only had the dog for a week and they told me it was from the breeder.so from there I said to do what ever they had to to save her no matter the cost I said I have the money to cover what ever it is. They where very rude to me and the doctor on the night shift is so lazy he did nothing for my puppy and they take forever to do anything my puppy was in there for 4 days and I get a call to come down they said she's a little worse but we can keep going I was forced to put her down they had told me they stopped her treatment due to they didn't want to rack up my bill if I was going to plan on putting her down so she was not on any meds for 4 hours before they called me and she looked so sad. The doctor told me I need to hurry up and make my mind up due to she had a dog in waiting to be seen. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!!!

If you don't mind paying absolutely top dollar, this is a fine vet. They've been gentle and thorough with my pets. I wish the vet had been more honest with me about the prognosis before my dog died. Putting her down would have been better than the acute suffering she had after the doctor sent us home. She died within a day and a half of visiting the vet. Despite thier claim of 24-hour emergency service, nobody ever called me back after I left multiple messages both in and out of their regular office hours.The dog ended up dying at home before they ever got back with me.I had a cat that had emergency surgury. There's no question the vets here saved her life - though it cost a small fortune. My only real issue with them is the luxury price tag.

Do you want to be ripped off? Go to Sumner Vet. I have been a customer for 10+ years because of convenient location, nice staff and good care, but have had enough. They take advantage of customers and are dishonest in their calls about updating on cost. No matter what you sign or what they call to update, you will hit the higher cost. And they will call mutiple family members with costs and not explain it is additional on top of other costs. Since Sumner Vet moved to the new larger facility their business mission seems to be "charge the customer as much as possible!" or "never charge under max quote - if you're under....add things to the bill!" We have had 6 dogs through this vet and received multiple un-necessary recommendations to for procedures and surgeries since they moved. What inspires me to actually make a comment now is their dis-honesty in a recent emergency situation. While I cannot complain about the care becasue the vets and staff are nice and seem competent, I truly belie

My husband and I recently had to bring our dog into the emergency clinic because of some bizarre behavior (it turned out she had gotten into something toxic while we were down at the river that day). They were immediately kind and concerned and went into action right away. They presented the less expensive option right alongside the more expensive one with the understanding that financially we may not be able to follow their recommended treatment plan. We did end up having her there for about 24 hours before we felt that she was out of the danger zone. They were very understanding about our numerous visits and calls to check in on her. Even her "uncle" with his dog "cousin Belle" came to visit her and were welcomed and treated very well. The entire staff - doctors, assistants and receptionists were caring and sympathetic. I was so grateful to have them there during this emergency. We will continue to bring our girl to Sumner Vet Clinic.

Caring doctors. Had a 5 year old cat go into chronic heart failure from an undiagnosed enlarged heart. Happened on way out of town to get married. They were so helpful and when she went into heart failure a month and half later and we made the difficult decision to put her to sleep they very supportive and made the process as easy as they could. Would recommend them to anyone.

We had to bring our 14-year-old flat-coated-retriever when he collapsed a week ago and subsequently died. It was after hours, so our regular vet was closed. When we called Sumner Veterinary Hospital, they were quick to respond, helpful and when we brought him in, kept someone with him as he was panting and confused. They gave us professional opinions in a matter of minutes, and helped ease our sorrow as we decided to euthanize our beloved pet of 14 years. We felt their sympathy as we left; every employee was kind and understanding. recommend them highly.

My little dog would have died had it not been for Sumner Veterinary Hospital. He was in critical condition with no diagnosis. They worked around the clock to find the cause. He had a shunt so his liver was not filtering his blood. They sent him to a surgeon in Kirkand, Seattle Veterinary Specialists, where they saved his life. I have had Dr. Sheeran as my vet since 1995. Yes they are more expensive, but you get quality care for your pet. Oh, be sure and buy VPI insurance for your pets......So worth it!!

Was not impressed at all. Fees and holiday policies were not fully disclosed up front and one of our dogs was severely ill from kennel cough upon return which ended in an expensive ER run late one night. The facility was filthy and over crowded...go on the tour BEFORE you board your dogs here and make your own decision.

This place ROCKS! It's the greatest.. Go talk to Amanda (groomer), Shanan or Deb. They know everything.. or can find the answerTook great care of my pets.. And always made me feel welcome

The facility is second to none. You will be amazed.
