How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Klahaya Animal Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Dr Thorson is great with my dogs and really listens. He is very knowledgeable and thoughtful. So glad to have found him.

This veterinarian is not doodle friendly. No reproductive services are available for doodles here. Even if they have had all the testing done ahead of time. So if you have a doodle, I would not feel comfortable bringing your dog here. If could 0 stars I would.

Egregious add-on penalty fee of $36 for not having had my OFA forms completed at the time of the appointment for my dog Frisson’s hip X-rays. I was not informed that this was necessary when the appointment was made. Completely surprised by this outrageous fee. I was told that by not having the forms completed that I held up the X-ray process. I was at the clinic with a friend prior to her dog’s C-section. We were in the exam room at least an hour waiting for the second dog’s procedure. I completed the form and then it sat on the table. There was no hurry apparently. I was never told that such a fee would result if my forms were not ready when we checked in. When I protested to the veterinarian he backed up his staff insinuating that I was lying. I was told by Dr. Thoreson that if I didn’t like it I could look elsewhere for veterinary care. Outrageous.

Best. Vet. Ever. As an avid dog lover, Breeder and dog exhibitor, I couldn't recommend anyone else. The prices are great, service is awesome (they've accommodated my own hiccups many times. Silly me!). We send folks here from our grooming shop in Mukilteo. Thank you from Maiev, Lucas, Thanos and myself!

I am a breeder and I love that they will see my litter for one fee. Very friendly staff. Very clean facility as well. I love coming here
