I wouldn't trust my pets with anyone else. Family environment and family care. If you can make it out here for your animal care I would highly recommend it.

Thank you so much for sewing Eero back up! The sutures look great and the staff was incredibly friendly. I wish COVID restrictions weren’t what they are so I could have met everyone and personally thanked you all. I can’t say thank you enough.

We starting coming to Terri and her staff with our first Golden, River. Terri and her late husband, Dan, could not have given her better loving treatment. When River died we feel Terri, Dan and staff were morning him nearly as much as we were. Then came our 2nd Golden, Spirit. Again the loving, professional care he received was above and beyond. Special thanks also for Lacy's great job with Spirit's laser treatment - he loved it. River and Spirit never left the practice without hugs and cookies. We now live in Port Ludlow and we sincerely miss Terri, Lacy and Debbie and so does Spirit! Thank you

Great experience. The staff was patient and friendly and I was so impressed with their treatment for my big dog. They took great care of him and were able to fix him up quickly without having to sedate him. I couldnt be happier with the outcome and the time taken to care for my big boy. Thank you to the crew at Valley Veterinary Clinic in Twisp! You saved the day and helped my buddy feel so much better!

Caring, friendly staff. Dr. Terri will always take the time to answer questions. When we needed to put our Lab down she was treated with dignity and kindness. We, as owners, were shown compassion and understanding.
