my dog appeared to have some sort of gastro-intestinal ailment, and so I got him in to Value Pet Clinic. Have been going here for a few years, for shots and dental work. Was always pleased with the care they provided. The vet, who I liked very much (apparently she specializes in Emergency Vet) took an x-ray to make sure he didn't have any sort of blockage. She saw something "unusual" on the x-ray, and wanted to send it off to a radiologist, which I agreed to. She even suggested that it could be a mass......the C w... read more

I would never recommend this location to anyone! I took my dog in for shots and received an estimate for teeth cleaning that was reasonable over a year ago for $250. This was reasonable in my mind. I went back to the clinic recently with my pups and scheduled an appointment and planned on having their teeth cleaned. The exam is $31 per pet where the doctor glances at the dog's teeth for a flash of a second. Then disappears for over 45 minutes. No one checks on you during this time. Finally, I asked to check on the status of ... read more

I wouldn't give them a star. They are so rude, they tell you your pet needs unnecessary things. Their guess is as good as yours. I could've googled it and come to my own diagnosis. Go to a normal vet if you can, they will value your business more. I'm never coming back.

I have a dog on end of life comfort and everytime I contact the office I get the run around for refills. My third party pharmacy has called 3 times to renew pain pills and value clinic is not responding. My pet is now out of pain pills and will suffer due to their poor customer service. I would recommend you spend more and get quality service elsewhere.

This place is an absolute nightmare. I have worked in veterinary clinics before, and I can tell you, these people are not good. Part of my job is bringing dogs in when indicated, and this place loves to over medicate, under-explain and over charge. I warn anyone going in to do some research because this place will gladly tell you to do unnecessary things. I am not trying to suggest self-diagnosing, but do some research and be prepared to decline the things that are not necessary. Wait times are long (even for a walk in cl... read more

Went for a walk in pet vaccination which took 2 hour wait time! The way they check in and check out seems very inefficient causing increased wait time. Also the vet seemed very inexperienced and kept saying whoa which freaked my dog out when getting his vaccines which caused her to nick herself with the needle! I felt bad for the vet but goodness just do it fast. I have been to many vets before and dogs know when your nervous giving shots just do it fast. My dog was only 16 lb dog! I clearly has stated I wanted the 3 ... read more

i will NEVER again take any pet into a Pet Value Clinic! My dog died after being misdiagnosed by a vet at the Tacoma Pet Value. But not before I was charged for unnessary treatment such as X-Rays and persciption medications which were never opened because the dog pass away at the emergency vet five hours later. The Emergency vet was able to detrimine my dog's situation as neurological not digestive in approximately 2 minutes but 2 minutes too late. So save yourself the expense, anger, and heart ache invest in pet insuran... read more

The doctor was kind, so was the receptionist but the white, blonde, average size woman, who was the doctors helper or nurse was extremely rude and unfriendly. I would just say b***h. She rolled her eyes at my kind mother, and even said "omg, really?" When our puppy jumped off the table. She was even rude when we entered the exam room. I have no idea what her problem is but she needs to put herself in check because we weren't in any way rude or difficult to deal with. This happened this morning around 11am.

You get what you pay for... Great cheap shots, but a bunch of half wits and service pushers that call themselves drs. I paid these ppl to look over my dog, who they said was fine. Only to learn a few weeks later at the emergency vet that the dog has a heart murmur that even I could identify. Then, I bring my pup in and these ppl give me antibiotics for my dogs foot while at the same time pushing probiotics on me, which is a total waste of money. The last time I went they couldn't identify a simple eye infection. Beware o... read more
