Cascade Veterinary Referral Center

Highly recommend Cascade Veterinary Referral Center when your pet is experiencing an emergent situation. The staff is kind, caring and professional from the front desk personnel to veterinarian. I was kept up-to-date on care and cost throughout the process and they even looped in my pets regular veterinarian. I took my pet in for follow up and we were treated in the same professional manner. Both veterinarians who took care of my pet were skilled, knowledgeable and truly cared for my pet.

Im not one to make reviews often. At all really. This might be my first. My cat passed away two weeks ago and the staff let me down easy. They were some of the nicest most kind hearted people. They did whatever they could to help, but they were open and honest just how I wanted it to be. They gave me a beautiful urn, cremation letter and a nose print of my cat. And I just received a letter of their condolences through the mail today. They’ll take care of you. ❤️

I needed CVRC when my cat jumped off the counter and busted his leg. He ended up with a ruptured CCL and luxating patella. The Urgent Care I took him to after the injury (not CVRC, I don't live locally) told me he needed surgery and warned me that it would likely be a month or more before getting in with a surgeon. I called 3 different clinics and made appointments with all 3. CVRC was the earliest available appt (only about a week later) and said they could do surgery within a couple of days of the appt, as long as my cat was a candidate. The second clinic was a couple of days after CVRC, and they could also do the surgery shortly after the appt. The third clinic was about 1.5 weeks after that, and their surgery would be up to 6 weeks after the appt. I went to CVRC and was SO impressed. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. The clinic was clean and calm. The vet nurse who took my cat's history was attentive and thorough. Then there's Dr Wagner. He deserves a comment all his own! He came in and thoroughly but simply explained my cat's injury and the surgical options, which one he recommended and why. He clearly knows his stuff and cares about doing the right thing for your pet. My cat's urgent care imaging wasn't the best, and I feared CVRC was going to want it repeated (requiring sedation again, and more $) but Dr Wagner was able to figure out what he needed by exam and the imaging we had, and didn't require more imaging to proceed. He went over post-op care, meds, and answered all of my questions. I felt heard and cared about, not rushed which is so common nowadays. I immediately booked my surgery and canceled with the other 2 clinics. So from injury to surgery was only 1.5 weeks with CVRC, such a relief compared to the estimate I had been given! My cat's surgery went smooth, the clinic kept him overnight for monitoring and pain control before sending him home, which I appreciated. They welcomed my call to check on him that evening, sent me pics of him recovering, and let me know they had given him a sweet nickname and were loving on him a lot. Once he was home, Dr Wagner was very responsive when I called for questions/concerns/med adjustment needs. My kitty is now doing great. He went from near complete lameness to an almost normal gait already, in about 2 months. If I have a future need for surgery for my pets, I will use CVRC.

The team is truly incredible. From the moment I called in to leaving the animal hospital we felt compassion and support. We could not have gotten luckier to have found them while navigating the suffering of our sweetheart Juniper. I am so grateful for the love the team shares for animals and people.

They did a great job with our dog who was nonstop vomiting and sick. They were able to see us late on a Sunday with no wait and the vet was knowledgeable and friendly. They presented treatment options transparently and without pressure. I would definitely recommend and am happy it is fairly close to home as we will be using them again in the future if needed!
