North Kitsap Veterinary Clinic

Absolutely the best! I had to get kitty neutered, everywhere else wanted exorbitant prices, and were booked out for a month. Got an appointment a week out, for 1/3rd the price. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Frequent contacts to make sure we were on the same page. This is how I remember vets being when I was young. I cannot give a higher review! Kitty is just fine and happy, They took very good care of him

On January 16 I took my 8 yr. old cat in to see this vet because I felt that he was developing “sick kitty fur” and wasn’t acting himself. This vet expressed that she had never heard of sick kitty fur when and I asked for a blood test she said that he didn’t need one that he was healthy. I really liked the vet and her assistant and was told that I was just a worried mommy. I left feeling very good and even tho I had numerous ( probably more 12 cats throughout my life) I felt that I had made a mistake. He was given his booster shots and I was to return in 3-4 weeks for a steroid shot etc. In early Feb., my cat quit eating and lost 4 lbs. and I panicked! I returned to the vet and she said that she didn’t know what was wrong with him, I wanted a blood test but she wanted me to take him elsewhere and have them to do all the tests themselves. I called the next day and begged for the blood test since I couldn’t get an appointment until the following week, the receptionist told me that the vet “REFUSED” to do a blood test on my cat and I was appalled that the vet flatly REFUSED! On Feb. 12 I got my cat in to see Dr. Watson at Balanced pet and they did a blood r test, x-rays and an ultra sound. It was found that he had 3 tapeworms which are easily curable, but now with the extreme weight loss, lack of nutrition and exhaustion it has developed into chronic pancreatitis and he is in a fight for his life! Everyone is praying for his survival because he’s in extreme pain and not eating. The doctor said there is nothing to be done and that he will either survive or die.

PLEASE READ. I found two little dogs running down the middle of the road on my way to the middle school. I stopped and picked them up. Unfortunately they had no home address or phone number tags. North Kitsap Veterinary clinic was the first vet I stopped at. I went inside to ask if she could help me. No, she said she couldn't. She did not offer to scan their microchips, they even had "home again" tags!! Nothing. Her solution? DROP THEM BACK OFF WHERE YOU FOUND THEM. Are you kidding me? It is a super busy road and they are likely to get hit! This lady obviously does not care about the safety of the dogs!!! I told her I absolutely would not do that and walked out and slammed the door. (The vet by Town and Country helped me get them reunited with their frantic owner)

Had an appointment today (October 1st) at 3pm. My kitten was scheduled for a shot and also was having some issues I was hoping to discuss. I showed up on time and they are closed down. I only find out they decided to close the 1st and 2nd by calling and listening to a passive aggressive voicemail. No call, no text to reschedule. Nothing. So the only thing I accomplished was stressing out my cat. Thanks! Will likely not be returning here.

If I could give a Negative 10 star review, I would. My experience at North Kitsap Veterinary Clinic was beyond appalling. I brought my kitten/cat in for a spaying procedure and they told me she would need to stay the night. I was shocked to learn that no staff would be present overnight and that they just close up and go home. I have had bad experiences in the past with cats having bad reactions after coming off of anesthetic and I felt uncomfortable that there would be no one there if anything happened. I have veterinary experience, have owned and worked with animals all my life so I asked the receptionist if I could just pick her up before they close that evening so I could watch her throughout the night. She was extremely snotty and rude and told me I should ask the vet. The next morning at 9am I went to drop her off. I spoke to both the receptionist and the vet. I told them my concerns. I explained to them that I have a farm, boarding facilities, a cosy safe crate at home ready for her and have the ability to keep her safe, calm and watched throughout the night. She gave me a thumbs up, said it sounded great and informed me that the only reason they like to keep them overnight is if people cannot offer them that care in the following 24 hours. I thanked them. The receptionist took all of her vaccine information and I left my cat in their care. I got told to ring them at 4pm that evening and to come and pick her up after that. 3:45 comes around and I call the clinic asking how it went and asking If I could come and pick my kitten up. She responded. "No, you can come and get her in the morning.” Despite being assured that morning I could take her home. Which led me to question why.. I was told that I was never informed that I could take my cat home, that I am lying, that she doesn't have time to keep talking to me and my issues, and worst of all and I quote "Well we have your cat here, you cannot come and get her until the morning so it looks like there is nothing you can do about it" and HUNG UP ON ME! Mortified, I get in my car and drive to the clinic to see what the hell is going on. All of the staff continue to display utter disrespect and hostility towards me. All refusing to talk to me. An old lady who I had never spoken to before took me into a room and told me that everything I was saying was false, that this was her clinic and she could do what the hell she wanted and informed me that they were keeping my cat unless I paid them in cash?? Extremely shady and unethical behavior. She would not let me speak, proceeded to tell me she was done listening to me and walked away. I proceeded to tell them I just want to pay right now (using their card machine which I had used before) and pick up my cat. She wouldn't allow it. She said I would not be getting my cat back. At this point I am LIVID, worried about my cat and why this is happening and in complete disbelief. I decided my only option was to call the police. At this point my husband has shown up to help me. They tried kicking me out so they could close and go home. When the police showed up we explained to him everything that had happened and he told us he had taken one of their pets there once and had the worst experience and that they were horrible to him. When the police intervened, they begrudgingly released my cat, who was of course traumatized, not to mention starving, and worse of all covered in her own waste! I have NEVER experienced anything like this in my life and NEVER want it to happen to anyone else. DO NOT use this clinic. Stay away from this establishment at all costs; their cheap prices are not worth the anguish and mistreatment they subject on to their customers and patients. I'm just glad to have my cat back.
