Dr Jean has been our vet for 10 years. She’s taken excellent care of our dogs and cats (and us at times). She has been with us as we said goodbye when one of our older cats passed, and she met us and helped us, after hours, when another older cat with cancer passed somewhat unexpectedly at home. She’s gone above and beyond for our family again and again. She’s a treasure, and we’re so lucky to have her on the island.

Highly recommend Animal Hospital by the Sea and vet Dr Jean Dieden. Last year, on our first full day on Whidbey, Dr Jean treated our cat on an emergency basis after he escaped the house in a mad dash and impaled himself on a sharp stick. Since then, Dr Jean has seen our dog for routine exams and vaccinations. Both her and her staff are highly professional and very pleasant. Most recently, Dr Jean and her staff made extraordinary efforts to ensure we received a health certificate embossed by the USDA in time for our dog to travel with us on an international flight. We’re grateful and very happy Dr Jean is our vet.

I was able to get a new patient appointment for my boys for the very next week. On my day off, no less. It was perfect. They are still practicing covid protocols. Mom stayed outside while the boys were taken in for their exam. They came out and explained everything and then brought them back out. I even paid outside. We will happily go there again next year for their check up.

Can't believe I haven't gotten around to writing a review for our much beloved vet before today! Dr. Jean has been our vet for all four of our dogs and all of my mother's dogs. She has been with us through a whole host of medical conditions- birth of litters (my mom is an ethical breeder), a series of health issues when I brought home my first rescue, seizures with my epileptic pup, and anything in between. We adore her and her team. They work extremely hard and truly care about your pet. I trust Dr. Jean's judgment implicitly. She is the reason that my epileptic little monster is here with me today. Thank you to the whole team at Animal Hospital by the Sea!
