How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Yakima Humane Society Spay & Neuter Clinic

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.

Super helpful people. I was able to get in before my allotted time slot and get all my appointments lined up beautifully right after! Everyone here is so kind and understanding. My appointment was productive, and they were very knowledgeable and gentle with my kitten.

Everyone here has been so good to us and our pets. We greatly appreciate what they do for the community. Our puppy just had a spay surgery and we had a scare when she houdini'd her way out of a cone, they were able to get her in despite how busy it already was for the day. Our puppy is just fine, but they gave me peace of mind by checking her out for me. We appreciate all of the staff here!

The female who called to tell me that my name came up for my chance at a spay n neuter was so incredibly rude to me and had the ugliest attitude that I would rather pay $500 at a private clinic than ever take my pet here. What if she was the one performing the surgery or in charge of putting my sedated pet back into her crate with stitches ect? If this woman can be so rude over the phone for zero reason then imagine how capable of abusing animals she could be as well. No Thank you. DO BETTER!! PRACTICE KINDNESS!!

My diabetic cat passed away after I had bought 2 cases of pet insulin syringes. I never opened the boxes. Had no idea what to do with them. I called Yakima humane society to donate them. I was very thankful they could use them. If you have a pet that passes away, please consider donating the things you have that are new. Then consider adopting a new fur baby.

4.4 stars. Would have given 5, however I called and left messages and emailed several times with lots of questions and never got a response. This made me even more apprehensive about taking our newly adopted pup there. Then reading some of the bad reviews didn't help. I had been told (and instructions confirmed this) that someone would come out to my car and collect my puppy and take him into the clinic. I would not have a chance to make my dog feel comfortable and say goodbye, or speak to the staff, much less the vet. And I had so many questions and concerns! Would they do a full check up and blood work first to confirm that he was fit for surgery? Was he even old enough to have surgery? I'd wondered about the pre-surgery protocol, like should he eat or drink beforehand. Why in their "contract" did they make such a big deal about not holding them responsible for any surgery mishaps?? All of this uncertainty made me incredibly nervous, and then to think I was expected just to drop him off with them?! I was a wreck the morning of the surgery, but my husband promised me that no way would he leave Charlie if he had any bad feelings about the place, or if he couldn't speak to someone first or take Charlie into the clinic. Later, he called me from there and explained how Macy had come out to the car, spoken with him, invited him into the clinic, spoken to him at length about the process, and had answered all of our questions. He said she was wonderful and obviously loved animals, and was great with Charlie, and the whole vibe there was friendly. So in summary, he was very comfortable about leaving Charlie and was very impressed with everything. What a relief! He picked up Charlie later and everything went well, you couldn't even tell he'd had surgery, there were no issues, he healed up just fine. Many thanks to Kayla at the Ellensburg Adoption Center for facilitating this process!
