Hanson-Meekins Animal Hospital

We travel full time in our camper with our 3 dogs so we have been to vets all over the country. Our shepherd/lab mix, Shamus, has had seizures for years, somewhat controlled with medication and has been declining for sometime. While in the area, he had a seizure and never quite recovered and we knew it was time. Not knowing the area, we started looking for a vet and, after reading many not so great reviews, we came across Hanson-Meekins we knew this was where we had to go. We called at about 430p and were told we could bring him in the next morning. From the very first contact, we were treated with kindness and compassion. Upon arrival, we were greeted and told about the process with apologies for our situation. We met Dr. Meekins and instantly knew he was the one to help our sweet boy cross over. He was so kind, not only to Shamus, but to us as we were quite visibly devastated. The process was so very quick and painless. Dr. Meekins then made a plaster stamp of his paw with his name on it that we will cherish forever. Prior to the procedure, plans were made with a local mortuary for the cremation- they handled it all! After giving us time with our baby to say goodbye, Dr. Meekins walked us out the back way and we noticed the staff all stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads in respect for our loss. That, well, I’d never experienced anything like that. We are so grateful to all of you for making one of the hardest days of our lives bearable. We just can’t thank you enough for your compassion and obvious love for what you do.

I love the experiences I have had here. They truly care for the animals they see. They are willing to answer any questions you may have about the care of your pet. The veterinarians seem to be well educated and up to date on treatments. This office is very busy and the wait time can be very long as they are a walk-in only clinic. The last visit wasn't too long of a wait but we were kind of rushed through and had to go back to get the medication that was forgotten to be given to us. I will still continue to take our animals to them though because they are very good.

It was a wait, but not to much. I was relieved when they told me that Rocket, my dog, didn't have anything serious and with the prescriptions and the visit it was only about $95, and some piece of mind.

I really like this vet office. My dog however does not. She was fixing by them and since then she hates the vet. They take great care of your animals. Most of the employees are carrying and helpful. A couple employees go above and beyond to make your hard days at the vet go as smooth as it can be. If you are in Coos Bay/ North Bend I would highly recommend this vet over all the rest.

This vet takes sincere care of all my animals, and what is best for a long healthy fur baby life
