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.

The people at Deschutes are very caring to my fur babies, and to the hoomans. They've been there for us with a sudden loss, and when it was time to say goodbye. They have provided care for 4 dogs, 3 chihuahuas who have crossed the 🌈 Bridge, and my Vizsla. If you need a vet clinic this is who you call.

Everybody in the clinic was super nice and helpful and even carried my cat in his carrier for me. I’m 68 and my cat weighs 16 lbs, it was a struggle to carry him and I appreciate all the staff and including the vet that helped. Dr was very nice and professional, she was very thorough and informative. Had to use urgent care and got an appointment for the same day. Thank you Deschutes animal clinic. I highly recommend you. Thank you for taking good care of my cat Sonny.

The best vet I've ever met. Dr.Murry made my pittie trust in him immediately.She was in so much pain and miserable and still knew he was helping her. She hates going to vets but not here. She showed complete trust and that says it all. Dr. Murray took great care of her and her problems are already on the mend. The staff is great and caring as well. Wonderful team 👏

I unfortunately did not have a good experience here. They were one of the few vets with openings for new patients in the Olympia area (possibly for a reason…). I will start with saying that their admin team seem amazing. I had more issues with the medical treatment we were given. Overall, during my visits, I always felt rushed and the vet never took the time to sit down and speak with me about my new puppy. I had to specifically flag down the techs and the vet to ask my questions, and they were never forthcoming with information and always seemed in a rush. The biggest issue, however, is their lack of medical record documentation and oversight in reading records. They failed to turn over a page of my puppy’s medical records and gave her a vaccine that she had already had. If they had taken the time to speak with me about it prior to giving it to her, I may have been able to show them on the records which vaccines she had already had. They also did not scan her medical records to keep them on file when I brought them in on our first visit. When I asked for them to check their files over the phone to see if they gave her the wrong vaccine, they had to ask me to scan them and send them over myself. They did credit the money back to me for the erroneous vaccine. Upon our second visit, they were also confused about which medication they had given her for heart worm at our first visit since their own documentation wasn’t clear. And finally, my puppy was also identified as having giardia (hopefully no mis-diagnosis there), but they never followed up with me to make sure that the medication worked in getting rid of it. My experience at South Bay Vet with our last dog was much much better and they offered cheaper care as well.

Deschutes Animal Clinic has been amazing to my fur baby and to me. My dog is very skiddish of anyone or anything unfamiliar or unpleasant. She never acts scared or shakes when we go inside or when we go Into the exam room. She allows the vet to do things without much fuss. They are VERY kind, take their time explaining, give options, and give all of the dogs and cats lots of love and attention. I am so glad I switched to them soon after getting my baby. She has been happy and healthy and I feel they have affordable/competitive prices comparably. They really make sure that I’m comfortable with any treatment or care plan. 10/10
