  We have been clients of VCA Covington for about 8 years now. I can't say enough about the doctors and support staff. They are always very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. We have three cats each with a different chronic health issue. One of the cats has a very rare pancreatic disorder and the doctors were able to properly diagnose and treat him. We are so thankful for their knowledge as it literally saved my cat's life. My cats hate going to the vet, but the staff is very well trained and do a great job of minimizing their stress. We are so very thankful for the doctors and staff of VCA Covington and the care they provide our cats. Thank you!

  Hi, I want to share our very sad and disappointing experience with VCA Covington and encourage you not to visit this office. While our visits before Emma’s end-of-life were positive and warm, we received such painful and shameful care at the end of Emma’s life. I would never want another family or pet to go through what we did. Here’s our story: Emma was diagnosed with renal disease around 9 months old. She had testing done prior to her being spayed. Dr. Walls believed it was possibly due to a birth defect. Moving forward, we went to the office every 6 months for check-ups and blood work. Around the end of April (Emma is now almost 5), we noticed Emma was declining in health. Around that time, I went on our VCA app and scheduled an appointment. Her appointment was scheduled for a month away (beginning of June). So, the next day, I called the office and asked if there was any way we could get Emma in sooner. The receptionist told me that we could call each day at 8 a.m. to see if we could get a cancellation and come in for a same-day appointment. I am a schoolteacher, and I explained I could not leave work for a same-day appointment and asked if there was an appointment the next day or in the coming week or so, anything sooner than beginning of June. I was told no, and she recommended we take Emma to Arrow, if needed. Fast forward two weeks later, and Emma is getting worse. I call again, and I am told the same thing again. This time, I say that my children’s pediatrician keeps sick appointments in their schedule….was this something their office did as well? No, but I can call each day at 8 a.m. to hope to get a cancellation for a same-day appointment. This time, I ask a clarifying question: So am I understanding that your office is more of a clinic for preventive and wellness care? And, the receptionist says, yes. Then another week passes, and Emma is very sick. I have the same conversation with the same clarifying questions and answers. So, your office provides wellness and preventative care, but sick visits are not to be expected? Yes. This time, I share that we are so sad and disappointed in the care we are receiving at Emma’s end-of-life. That this is something they needed to share with our family and other families when their pet is diagnosed with a chronic disease. 4 days later our sweet Emma was put to rest at Mountainside Vet in Maple Valley. Someplace she was not a patient, with people she had not been see or been cared by. They were wonderful with Emma, but what a terrible and shameful way for VCA to handle our situation. Emma died 4 weeks after we had made our appointment. Please do not take your pets to this clinic!! Your family and pets deserve dignity, compassion, and love at the end of their life. I also want to add that Fairwood Veterinary Office was also so helpful and kind when we were searching for sooner care. They were so helpful and caring. VCA may be great for wellness and preventative care, but end-of-life care is also so important.

  I'm only in approximately twice a year, but won't go anywhere else to have my pups health concerns addressed. The drive from Puyallup is absolutely worth it. They've been so helpful with my Cane Corso who has been overcoming her intense fear of vet visits. They went above and beyond when we scheduled her spay alongside our Frenchie who she's bonded to. Just this week they got me in last minute for a concern with our Frenchie. Love them!
