Well we have becoming here for the last 35 years, unknown to us ownership has changed and past Drs are gone and will be missed. Dr. Courtney has performed several surgeries on our dogs saving them and $$ vs going to 24 hr emergency vet. With that said , our dog was having issues throwing up for 7 hour. We called that morning and they were able to get him in that AM. Dropped him off and picked him up 4 hrs later. many test completed, blood, x-ray etc… Possible obstruction found in stomach and he had injection of cerenia . Put on special diet. No more throwing up since. 4 days later back to normal on energy level and doing good. Office staff was great and emailed a thorough diagnostic results along with labs. That was a first here. I have to give 5 stars because everything worked out positive, smoothly and same day service.

Our 3 year old lab, Waylon, was vomiting & our regular vet could not get her in for an exam. On a recommendation, we contacted Northwest Animal Hospital & they advised us to bring her in right away. She ended up having a life threatening obstruction. Despite clear x-rays initially, Dr. Courtney & Dr. Hadley instinctively knew something more was going on. After additional review, they did an emergency exploratory surgery after hours & found she has ingested a piece of a toy. If it wasn’t for their knowledge, compassion & quick thinking, Waylon likely would not have survived. I cannot say enough good things about Northwest. They are an amazing team and have made lifelong clients out of us! Waylon & her sister Daisy Mae will now only be treated by the very best at Northwest ♥️

The staff and Dr. Brian Courtney are caring people who took great care of my cat Blueberry. They all made me, my mom and Blueberry feel welcome. Dr. Courtney after the surgery called and let me know that Blueberry did well and that I could get him the next day. The next day Dr. Courtney called to see how Blueberry was doing and if I had any questions. He really cares. I will tell all my friends and family to take their pets to Northwest Animal Hospital. Again thank you to everyone at Northwest Animal Hospital for their love in caring for you and your pet!!!
