All Creatures Animal Hospital

We've been taking our guinea pigs there for three years now, and have always received excellent care and attention. Drs Little and Choi have always been very helpful. (If you have a piggie, ask for Dr Choi, she specializes in them.) The only complaint I have is they can be a bit slow, especially in the evening. But that's understandable as they are practically the only 24 hour emergency vet in the county. more

Pain Medication is not dispensed if not indicated. In this particular case the patient was on antibiotics and the pet owner declined diagnostic testing to determine if the pet did indeed have a bladder infection. In today's environment the potential for abuse of medications is extremely high and we, as medical care providers, must ensure that we do not contribute to any further abuse. Dr. Choi is an extremely compassionate and caring veterinarian who cares about her patients and strives to provide the best care possible to all of them. Thank you for your review and I hope this helps you understand why pain medications were not dispensed for your pet. more

I do agree that Dr. Little is a very compassionate and caring vet, but also that the office staff needs some help. They do seem mad at the world at times and I can't figure out why, how tough is it to manage the front office. I certainly can think of a lot of crappier jobs. I do wish a thousand bladder infections on Dr. Choi with no pain medication and let her see how it feels. more

Aside from paying entirely too much for a basic exam for our pup, the staff seemed very unhappy. We didnt have the funds for the emergency visit, but after what seemed like an eon of sighing and groaning, they were flexible with the payment. We are very grateful for that! Unfortunately, it is a designer hospital with a designer millieu to boot. They were passively snooty. For every time they did something nice, they also did something condescending or cold. A smile or two would help justify the costs. more

All the staff is caring, attentive and informative. The take time to discuss your needs and the care of your pets. Even while remodeling, they went the extra mile to accomadate our needs. more

Sassy is well taken care of while she is groomed for lion cut. Her spa day is a very special time for her. Thank you, Sue more

Despite prior my glowing review and adoration of Dr. Little, we have chosen to take our family of pets elsewhere due to an absolutely atrocious front office staff. We used to have such great interaction with the staff there, but in the last year it has gotten so bad, we have removed our pets from care there and found a new clinic where the care and office staff are equally good. Never underestimate what a bad front office can do for your business. Those women drove us away and we have been going there since December 2004 for the care of our turtles, dog, and bearded dragon. After the ridiculous treatment by the office staff on 3 visits when we brought in our kittens for care, my husband flat refuses to continue care there for our beloved pets. If they were to change the staff in the front, we may consider coming back, but until that day, we will not be back and everyone we know will hear about the experiences we have had in the last 6 months. more

I took my cat there several months ago. I was surprised the vet seemed to have little compassion for the animals. She did not say hello to the cat or talk nicely to it before she grabbed it. The tests were $400 and no treatment but the cat survived okay and so it wasnt that bad but I would not go back to this person. She was knowledgeable but cold and did not have a great bed side manner. more

We have been seeing (or rather our brood) has been seeing Dr. Little since December 2004. We purchased turtles from a big box pet store and within a short amount of time, realized they were ill. Given the size of the area, we were unsure whether we could find a herp vet. We called All Creatures and initially connected with another vet. She was nice, but seemed unsure after a visit or two. Due to her absence one day, we saw Dr. Little instead. What a blessing that turned out to be. While we were unable to save our beloved Phoebe due to her young age, he bent over backwards to save our beloved Franklin. They worked with us and the pet store to restore Franklin's health, including going into unchartered territory and performing surgery to remove the shellrot and finding alternative treatments when standard ones failed. It has now been over 3 years and Franklin is a happy and healthy fellow. Were it not for Dr. Little, we would have lost him, too. We look forward to many, many years with our turtles. He also cares for our tubby border collie/lab and is always engaging during our visits. We recently brought home a bearded dragon that has been under his care as well. He is dedicated to all animals and extremely accommodating. I am full of questions and he never hesitates to answer or find the answer for us. If I could, I will give All Creatures 10 stars. Well worth the 60 minute drive ;-) more

I have been bringing my cats to Dr. Little when his office was in Belfair, years ago! I have always felt excellent about his sincere care of my animals and of me as the owner-friend of my wonderful cats. I now have two new kitties and he was very thorough with our first visit after I adopted Pete & Priss from the Humane Society. If there are any derogatory reviews on this web page, I can assure anyone reading this that they are probably just a one time, unfortunate incident not a pattern. I have NEVER had a bad experience at Dr. Little's office! I also don't believe the type of products a vet's office has any connection to the care the animals and clients receive! What I wish to describe in this review is the experience I had when my 23 year old Tonkinese, Shi-Shi, passed away. For the two years before her death, I would call Dr. Little and when workload allowed he would call me back to help me decide if Shi-Shi's quality of life was good enough to decide whether or not to put her down. This is an extremely difficult decision to make. Dr. Little dealt with my situation in a wholistic manner, as aware as he could be of the fact that I had lost my only child, was going thru a nasty divorce and was the primary Hospice care giver for my Mom. Shi-Shi was beloved within my large family. She was an unusually lady-like, elegantly beautiful cat with an above average intelligent and eyes so light blue to be almost white. A few of the amazing things about her: she watched TV, hissed at cats in magazines, and fetched toys. My brother, two years before Shi-Shi's death, had made her a tiny coffin. I couldn't look at it and kept it wrapped and stored in my garage. The day I KNEW I had to put her down, the only person available to go to the vet with me was my very sick Mom. I called Dr. Little's office and he personally got on the phone and said bring her in right away. I brought her in in a basket and my Mom brought in the tiny casket. Shi-Shi was in a lot of pain but laid very quiet and just kept her eyes on me. Dr. Little actually came to the door and one of his staff helped me into one of the examining rooms. He described what would take place. I already knew what would transpire but thanked him for his kindness. After he gave her the shot and her little body went limp, he personallly placed her in her fleece blanket inside the little casket and arranged her tiny body to look as if she were asleep. When he and some of his staff saw what was written on the inside cover of the casket his eyes filled with tears. I was very overwhelmed with grief but remember the deeply caring way Dr. Little and his staff cared for my cat and the deep kindness they showed me that awful day. I will NEVER forget it! You see this tiny, beautiful animal with fur soft as Chinchilla, who added so much to my life... Shi-Shi was a beloved member of my family and a dear friend of mine! Thanks Dr. Little and Staff! Kathleen (Rusk) Hamill P.S. Written on the inside of the casket: "She was always a lady and a lady always know when to leave." more

We took our dog there and it was ok. It wouldn't be a place I would go all of the time. The vet was a little on the "distant' side but then it might just be a vet thing. The prices seem average. I feed my dogs top end dog food and was a tad disappointed that they didn't offer any of that or even suggest that. more
