We recently had to put our first family dog down who we had since we were 19. We were really concerned with the process and wanted him to have the best, most comfortable care. We had seen other dogs put down at other facilities and were never really impressed with how it was handled. The dog would lay on a thin blanket in a normal vet room and that’s how they got put down. At Tumwater vet they had a whole separate room. It was filled with comfy seats and a comfy couch along with a padded blanket floor for the dog to lay on. They stocked it with snacks and brought out a tray of doggy treats like chocolate and peanut butter and some water. They gave us as much time as needed and provided a free paw or nose print. The lights were dim and once we were ready they gave him a sleeping sedative and then stopped his heart. It was very peaceful and we laid with him for awhile. We were even able to bring our other dog(which they crated for us during the process) in to see him after he passed. All in all the best possible experience we could’ve had for one of the toughest moments for our family.

Jezebel!

Tumwater Veterinary is a Private Equity veterinary clinic so their #1 priority is profit, not your dog or their health! Beware! My 35lb, 10 yr old terrier mix needed a Grade 3 dental and they quoted me $3,466!!! AND I want to mention that I booked the appointment mentioning I wanted her teeth looked at. During the appointment they wanted to do a senior blood panel at some astronomical cost, and I said no, my intention is to get her dental surgery so I opted for the surgical panel. After their insane estimate, they said "Oh, and we're booked out 6 months for dentals but her blood results are only good for 30 days (or some short time period), so you'll need to do another panel before her surgery. Are you serious??? Knowing I wanted a dental, and knowing you were booked out 6 months, don't you think you should have told me that so I could wait?! No, of course not because they want the money! Anyway, I found a pet surgical center in Maple Valley that does dentals for $750 + medication and extractions, if needed, regardless of the grade of dental disease. I did her dental for $1,200 which included 12 extractions. Tumwater Veterinary is only interested in your wallet and these are not normal prices. Go online and find a vet that is NOT Private Equity!
