Tumwater Veterinary is a Private Equity veterinary clinic so their #1 priority is profit, not your dog or their health! Beware!
My 35lb, 10 yr old terrier mix needed a Grade 3 dental and they quoted me $3,466!!! AND I want to mention that I booked the appointment mentioning I wanted her teeth looked at. During the appointment they wanted to do a senior blood panel at some astronomical cost, and I said no, my intention is to get her dental surgery so I opted for the surgical panel. After their insane estimate, they said "Oh, and we're booked out 6 months for dentals but her blood results are only good for 30 days (or some short time period), so you'll need to do another panel before her surgery. Are you serious??? Knowing I wanted a dental, and knowing you were booked out 6 months, don't you think you should have told me that so I could wait?! No, of course not because they want the money! Anyway, I found a pet surgical center in Maple Valley that does dentals for $750 + medication and extractions, if needed, regardless of the grade of dental disease. I did her dental for $1,200 which included 12 extractions. Tumwater Veterinary is only interested in your wallet and these are not normal prices. Go online and find a vet that is NOT Private Equity!
