Tahoma Vet is more than just a veterinarian office. It’s a part of the family. We have been going there for 30 years and I cannot say enough about the kind, caring Staff that works there. We have brought so many animals for help, from ones that got ran over on the street to neighbors in the midst of emergency. With no question asked they are willing to help however they can. They are part of my family and I’m so grateful to be part of theirs. When we had to Let our babies go they let us go out back with the whole family around the tree, and even brought one of our dogs a plate of Thanksgiving food.

Reviews
Took my kittens in, vet was extremely thorough with the exam, they loved her. One was purring during it, she has a special touch when it comes to animals for sure. After going to the spanaway vet for so long and how many times they'd messed up, I am going to be going here instead!
They took care of our dog, Farrah, and did blood work and followed up immediately with the results for us. We were thankful to find out what the results were and how to deal with it going forward.
