On 2/2/2023, I took my 12-week old puppy to this vet because he needed to get a puppy exam (he came from a breeder and in order for the health guarantee to be valid, he'd need to see a vet within 72 hours) and a fecal done. Unfortunately our vet (Purdy Veterinary Hospital in Gig Harbor; absolutely an amazing vet and definitely worth the drive if you live a little further; great bedside manner, everybody is super friendly and does not talk down to you) was booked pretty far out, so we called around to see if there were any vets that would be able to fit us in quickly. And that's when we discovered Clover Valley. When we had made the appointment, we had specifically said that we only need a exam & fecal done. He was not due for any shots until he turned 16 weeks. I had brought in his vaccination record, apparently there were some dates that were mixed up, so they deemed those unusable. However, I do know for sure that he has been vaccinated. Because they thought they were falsified, they vaccinated him without my permission. They did not tell me until AFTER they did it. They prescribed him dewormer and flea medicine when we specifically asked for ONLY an exam and a fecal. He had already been dewormed and he is on flea & tick supplements. They did not tell me the price of the visit until after they gave me my card back. When they came out to tell me what happened, they had asked if I wanted advice on puppy care. I had said that I have 8 other dogs at home but they still continued to tell me about how to properly care for a puppy (desensitizing, socialization, etc), as if I have never taken care of one. During that time, multiple times the vet (I believe it was Dr. Brown) insinuated I had no money. For example: she recommended we start heartworm medication then said "it probably isn't in your budget with 9 dogs", the same for flea & tick medicine, and recommended cheaper food brands because "it probably isn't in my budget to feed something like Purina Pro Plan". Also, when they had taken him back, they did not carry him, they walked him on a leash in the parking lot to the building. He has not completed all his vaccines; his last vaccine would be at 16 weeks (he is 12 weeks currently). You would think the vet would be more careful about these things. The vet tech who had taken him back asked what I was feeding him, when I had said what I was feeding him (Diamond Naturals; our vet approves and has no issues with it), she made a disgusted face for a split second and then recommended brands like: Purina Pro Plan, Orijen, Science Diet, etc. All my dogs do really well on Diamond Naturals (healthy skin & coat, good bowel movements, not gassy, etc). I normally don't write bad reviews but they put my puppy's health at-risk and that is not okay! I do not recommend this place at all.

Vet did blood work for my dog and found possible cancer. She didn’t reach out or inform me of such a serious diagnosis until I called and inquired about the results a few months later. Don’t bring your pets here. When I called her out on it, she laughed and said I should have checked in sooner. Disgusting business! Hopefully someone can save my dog in time. This place is a joke!

We had the best old boy whose time with us had come to an end, and as painful an experience it is putting your family member down, Clover Valley made it as bearable as possible. They came to our home, safely masked like we were, and explained everything to us, gave us as much time as we needed, and gave us the option to stay with our good boy throughout his last moments with us, which we accepted gladly. I don’t think a sad experience could have been handled with more professionalism, empathy, and kindness, than what these caring people provided us. And the card in the mail... unexpected, but so incredibly kind. A most sincere thank you for helping our good boy make it to the other side of the rainbow to join his friends, and in the most compassionate and humane way possible. We will always recommend you first to anyone in our area, for any of their pets needs.

Severely misdiagnosed my dog, over medicated him, and now I don't know who to believe or what to do. Thanks.
