Recommend.Michelle S.Michelle S. ★★★★★ All of the doctors and the technicians are great at taking care of my 19 1/2 year old cat. She had some kidney issues and they really helped with some testing and prescription food that has her feeling so much better. They are very patient with my "sassy" ol' girl.Laura L.Laura L. ★★★★★ We had an established vet, my dog developed a small lump on her eye, her vet didn't see the importance of a speedy appointment, so they scheduled her 3 weeks out. Well as you can imagine it began getting bigger and I was not going to wait! I called Orting animal hospital, not only were they very friendly they were able to get her in the next day. That's not even the best part! I saw a doctor who was beyond thorough and very good with my baby, we have a treatment plan and a "in case this dosen't work" plan. I couldn't be happier, because of this awesome experience we are moving our entire family of pets to them! Good job!Kristina M.Kristina M. ★★★★★ They performed an amputation and dental work on my cavalier KC. Seeing them currently for allergies in same dog. Very nice staff. Knowledgeable doctors. Cost is worth knowing pets are taken care of. They seem to try to reduce costs as much as they can, ie. waiting on certain tests. They try to have you see the same doctor.Jennifer M.Jennifer M. ★★★★★ They have great staff and they usually have appointments. It is hard to get appointments in the Tacoma area.Ray M.Ray M. ★★★★★ Expensive but the doctor is so awesome and kind!Krista W.Krista W. ★★★★★ I’ve had nothing but positive experiences at Orting Animal Hospital. In June, I had to say goodbye to my furry best friend, and they went above and beyond to ensure both of us were comfortable during that difficult time. They also honored his memory by allowing me to request paw prints before his cremation amongst other requests.I also bring my sweet Coton here, who can be a bit skittish, but the staff always greets her with kindness, and she has warmed up to them easily. I truly appreciate the staff for being friendly, compassionate, and informative. While their services are pricier than what I’ve encountered elsewhere, I believe the quality of care is well worth the cost.Emily J.Emily J. ★★★★★ This vet did a great job with removing my dad’s dog’s teeth.Olivia W.Olivia W. ★★★★★ Dr Joe at the clink in Edgewood is out so I decided to try this one as recommended by a friend. They were very friendly and helpful. I appreciate the care and thoughtfulness you gave my beautiful baby girl. Thank you.MsTee B.MsTee B. ★★★★★ We have had great experiences and care from the Orting Animal Hospital staff. They are caring and professional. The care approach I have had included listening to my concerns and involving me in the plan of care. No judgment for scaling back on diagnostics while offering less expensive options to begin with. I appreciate their prompt response to emails and phone calls. They cried with us when we said goodbye to our dog and are helping me to manage my cats diabetes.sandi van K.sandi van K. ★★★★★ I am always able to get our dog in with an appointment quickly. We just went in for a yearly check up. I called and got in the next day. I loved that the Veterinarian did not push extra services such as flea control pills, teeth brushing, special food, etc on me to buy. I hate it when I go into other Vet hospitals and they do this. Feels like a used car salesman. I am.so happy Orting Veterinarian doesn't do this.naomi S.naomi S. ★★★★★ Very friendly, animal loving veterinary. They spent a longer time with me than my family doctor does. They seemed to genuinely enjoy answering all of my questions. I feel that my two kittens are in good hands here.Jesse W.Jesse W. ★★★★★ I wanted to share my long-overdue review of Orting Animal Hospital. I've been a loyal client since they opened almost 3 years ago, and I genuinely trust this vet clinic. The entire team, from the vet doctors to the staff, is not only professional but also exceptionally friendly. They consistently provide excellent care for my dog and always take the time to thoroughly explain the diagnosis, which makes me feel confident and secure in bringing my dog to OAH.Cherry L.Cherry L. ★★★★★ Very busy place. Very helpful on the phone when our kitty was unable to be seen.Debbie BDebbie B ★★★★★ Incredibly impressed by Dr. Rachael Vellandi at the vet tech from our 8/10 visit. Really caring and thoughtful without pursuing anything unnecessary. Efficient and thorough assessment and our dog felt very comfortable with the team despite feeling anxious in the clinic environment.Melissa MMelissa M ★★★★★ We recently faced one of the most heart-wrenching experiences a pet owner can go through—saying goodbye to our beloved dog, Mooch. Our journey began when Mooch suddenly became ill, and we were left searching for answers. From the very first visit, Dr. Aubrey DeHart and the entire clinic staff went above and beyond to determine what was wrong, all while ensuring Mooch was as comfortable as possible.Dr. DeHart's dedication to Mooch’s well-being was evident in every step she took. She conducted thorough examinations and explored every possible avenue to diagnose his condition. Throughout this process, she was incredibly mindful of Mooch’s comfort, always handling him with the utmost care and gentleness. Her commitment to minimizing his discomfort while still seeking answers gave us great peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time.When we eventually had to make the incredibly difficult decision to let Mooch go, the compassion and empathy we had experienced throughout Mooch’s treatment continued. Dr. DeHart took the time to explain each step of the process with sensitivity, ensuring we were fully informed and comfortable with our decisions. She treated Mooch with the same level of respect and tenderness that she had shown him from the beginning, which brought us comfort in knowing that he was in the best hands possible during his final moments.The entire clinic staff mirrored this level of care and compassion. They created a peaceful and private space for us to spend those precious final moments with Mooch. We were never rushed or made to feel like just another appointment. Instead, we were given all the time we needed to say our goodbyes and to cherish the final moments with our beloved family member. The staff even provided thoughtful touches, like a cozy blanket for Mooch and tissues for us, which meant more than words can express.While saying goodbye to Mooch was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do, Dr. DeHart and her team made the experience as gentle and comforting as possible. They turned a day filled with heartbreak into one where we felt supported, understood, and truly cared for. We are forever grateful to Dr. DeHart and the clinic for the extraordinary compassion they showed to both Mooch and our family. Their kindness will never be forgotten, and we take comfort in knowing that Mooch's final moments were filled with love and care.Thank you, Dr. DeHart, and the entire clinic staff, for being there for us when we needed it most.Brandi H.Brandi H. ★★★★★ I've taken 2 different cats to Orting Animal Hospital and have been very pleased both times. Potential treatments were clearly explained, along with costs. Front office staff was cheerful, and the vet tech and vet were excellent. Definitely won't hesitate to go back.JohnJohn ★★★★★ I love the reception gals they are always so friendly and helpful. I love the care my pets have gotten and continue to get. We sure get a lot of vet care these days as they are all aging.Molly KMolly K ★★★★★ Our energetic dog has never behaved so well at the vet. First visit to OAH and will be our first call for all future care.Justin L.Justin L. ★★★★★ Orting Animal Hospital has been absolutely amazing!
