Overview

Chimacum Valley Veterinary Hospital is an AAHA-accredited animal hospital serving people and their pets since 1979. Our veterinarians in Port Hadlock, WA deliver a comprehensive range of veterinary services, including preventative and wellness care, medical care, dentistry, and surgery. We take a Fear Free approach to treating pets by using gentle, low-stress handling techniques, non-slip surfaces, pheromones, and mild sedation when necessary. This ensures an easier and more relaxing visit for your pet and for you. Another highlight of our animal hospital is its Cat Friendly Practice status. Our veterinarians and staff members are extremely mindful of the unique needs of felines, and structure our hospital and services to meet those needs. Chimacum Valley Veterinary Hospital provides complete medical, surgical and dental services for dogs and cats in Port Hadlock and the surrounding area

Founded in 1979, Chimacum Valley Veterinary Hospital is a full-service veterinary healthcare center located in Port Hadlock, WA. The hospital offers a wide range of services including wellness examinations, dentistry, vaccines, parasite detection and prevention, dermatology, surgery, internal medicine, weight management, senior pet care, and avian and exotic pet care. With our two locations nine miles apart in Port Hadlock and Port Townsend, we are able to offer a broad range of veterinary services—from traditional preventive and dental care, diagnostic testing, and surgical services to non-traditional integrated healing therapies like acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. In 2003, the Pet Townsend Veterinary Clinic started out as a mobile veterinary service until it found a permanent home at its current location, near the first hole of the Port Townsend Golf Course. We believe many cases can greatly benefit from Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) including acupuncture, herbal remedies, and nutritional therapy

Mission — Supporting Human & Animal Wellness as We Honor the Human-Animal Bond. Our singular goal is to provide compassionate medicine of the highest quality. We believe every patient is special and unique, deserving of individualized medical care. Communication, honesty, and respect are the cornerstone of supporting the human-pet bond. Our priority is to take the time to educate you about your pet's health needs and keep you involved during and after treatment
