I lived in Elk, Wa. 3 yrs ago and needed a more local vet at the time to do health exams and vaccine booster for my then and currently now, semi-retired service dog, Balto. The staff was awesome, best care for that area of spokane county. Most every other vet clinic refused to accept new clients/patients and refused to give a reason why. Those other vets were snooty, and charged outrageous and rediculous prices on EVERYTHING!!! Deer Park Animal Hospital was pretty comperable and affordable for most everything. The staff was caring, decent, and kind towards animals and people! :) I miss the lady vet up there. :( Balto really liked her too. She was the very 1st Vet that ever gave him his very 1st "Fire Hydrant Punch Test" for arthritis. Balto passed w/ flying colors and was in general/over all health, very HEALTHY!! Clean establishment as w/ most Vet clinics that I've posted good reviews to already. We unfortunentlly had to move back to spokane because my husband and I were expecting a baby. Balto and I hope to make a visit someday to just say, hi! :)
