Pet Wellness
Our preventative wellness programs include vaccinations, parasite prevention, and comprehensive physical exams to maintain optimal pet health. We create customized care plans for each life stage, from puppies/kittens to senior pets. Our Fear Free approach ensures stress-free visits through gentle handling and calming environments.
Emergency Care
We provide 24/7 emergency veterinary services for critical conditions including trauma, poisoning, and severe illness. Our equipped facilities handle urgent diagnostics and stabilize patients requiring immediate intervention. Trained staff prioritize rapid assessment and life-saving care outside regular business hours.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment under anesthesia. We use advanced imaging to diagnose oral disease and offer preventive care education. Our $100 dental cleaning promotion supports routine oral health maintenance for pets.

It was an easy trip to the vet for our kitty even though COVID-19 restrictions were in place and she was picked up from my car and returned without my being able to be there with her. All staff communicated via phone during her exam and procedures. She returned relaxed and calm and has recovered from her health problem. Good experience for me as well. Thanks!

We had to put our beloved best friend,playmate and companion to sleep recently. Anyone that has had to do this with their pet knows how hard this can be. We want to thank Dr. Jeff and Staff on their passion and understanding. Thank you for walking us through the steps. They made it has comfortable as possible for us. We knew we were being selfish to keep her alive with her pain. Thank you for making her ending very peaceful.

I am always so pleased with my visits to Chimicum Valley Veterinary Hospital! The entire staff is kind and helpful. My primary vet, Dr. Webb, is such a blessing. He is incredibly knowledgeable in regards to my large breed dogs. I leave feeling informed and at peace. My dogs have been patients there for 6 years and I have nothing but good things to say 😁 Chimicum Valley is such a gift to our community.
