Preventive care

Recently moved our dog to Paws and Claws Pet Care and it’s been a blessing. I wish doctor offices would treat us humans as well as this facility treats our dog. If you are in need of a new vet then I highly recommend bringing your animal here. Their front office staff, vet technicians and veterinarians have all shown the utmost professionalism.

Amazing staff, absolutely recommend them!! ❤️Dr Juarez is so caring and knowledgeable. She continues to add to her skills and the acupuncture and adjustments she does for our little senior dog has kept him walking with his hip dysplasia and low back issues!. It is amazing to find a front desk staff as good as their doctors also.

We came over from Palm Springs Ca. With our yellow Labrador. Second time we truly love this place. From The great Doctors to the entire staff they showed Allei as much love as we give her. Plus tonight they called to ask how Allei was doing even knowing she has been transferred to VCA. Thanks that call touched our hearts 🥰. You sure can see how much all these folks that work at Paws and Claws love their jobs. Thank you Allei and Don Harrison

Was hoping this place could be my new Vet as I was new in town. I made an appointment for their vaccinations months ahead of time. In the meantime one of my dogs needed to be seen within a day or two as she had an infection. I called to get her in and they said not for 2 weeks! I said could you please fit her in somewhere? NO was the answer. Needless to say they will not be my new Vet. Our dogs need to be seen by my vet when they clearly are in discomfort. We establish relationships between our vets and dogs. My wonderful Vets in Seattle would always get us in. And believe me they were the best and busy. They would get on the phone if we needed to do something for them at home. We should not be sent out somewhere else (of course in the middle of the night is different) to get help for our dogs. It is too bad because sounds like if you get in they do a good job. But dogs cannot wait!
