I take all my pets here for shots. Anything outside of that, you should probably find another clinic. My one cat was declawed here and it didn't go well and the bandages they put on were too tight. We thought the cat was going to lose its paw but thank goodness it survived. I took my dog here to get spayed and they called me to pick it up and it literally took an hour to wait for someone to bring out my dog. Terrible wait even with an appointment. I liked this place but after this last experience, I'll look for a new clinic.

I've been going here for years, and called in for a standard flea treatment (Nexgard) for my dog, I called at 8:55 am, 5 mins before they opened and placed my order. They said they'd call me back once it was filled and had it in stock. I called at noon to see if it was available. Lady was rude and assured me they'd call me. It was 4 pm when I called again, very upset. They lady at the desk told me to come on in and it's be available then. I arrived at 415, and checked in. Still not filled. Waited until 5pm to finally walk ou... read more

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
