I have been taking my last four dogs there since Helping Hands opened many years ago. The clinic had a change of ownership a couple of years ago. Dr Cherie Guidry is the current owner and lead veterinarian. She purchased the clinic in August of 2012. I trust her instincts 110%. I recently lost my dog to a cancer, and Dr. Guidry told me her suspicions, but sent the test to a radiologist. He suspected something different. However as it turns out Dr. Guidry was correct. I would never go anywhere else. She will give you options both traditional and holistic or a combo of the two. She also doesn't push extra tests on you. :)

Dr Guidry is simply the best. I have sent numerous friends here and they would never go anywhere else. She combines the best of traditional and alternative treatments with fantastic results. I have two yorkies, one of whom is prone to allergies, pancreatitis, stones, he might have died elsewhere. Despite all this, because of Dr. Guidry, he lives a happy, active and normal life. Thank you so much for being you.

I have taken my dogs to this vet for 8 years and I have never had a problem, I have 3 dogs so I take them in at least once per year together for their annual wellness checkup and shots etc... I have one dog that gets ear infections so he gets to go to the vet more often. This last time was drastically different from the previous visits. I felt like I was at a used car dealer. I was bombarded with up sells by the new DVM Funk. I must have this; you must purchase a year supply of flea treatment. My dogs do not have fleas, nor have they ever had fleas nor did the vet check. You need to get your dog’s teeth cleaned their teeth are terrible. I just had them in to the dentist and all 3 of them cost less than their fee for 1 dog and the dental assistant raved about how healthy their teeth were. They all need lepo-puppy shots. Lepo puppy is Extremely Rare in Washington the state does not recommend a vaccine. More teenagers have contacted leptospirosis in Washington than dogs. Your dogs need a heart work regiment. Just a few days earlier I read an article in the Seattle Times that the State of Washington preformed 700 necropsies on coyotes in Washington in the last year, the most vulnerable animal in the state for heart worm and NOT ONE coyote had the disease. The State of Washington considers heart worm in domestic animals to be Extremely Rare in Washington. Then after I said no to all this I was presented with a menu of items that I previously said I did not want then I had to cross them off and sign the paperwork saying I was rejecting the shot or soap etc... That is the same baloney used car salesman pulled on me when I went to buy a car for my teenager at Bill Pierre Chevy. I would go to another vet. This one is obviously taking kickbacks from the flea treatment industry as well as others. Go to a vet that actually cares about your pet’s health not their wallet.

If I could give them minus 5 stars I would. I called because I was stuck in traffic, they said I could be seen if I got there by quarter of the hour. I got there then suddenly they are too busy. What were they doing as it was the time they should have been seeing me? Then they said we are just too booked to see you now because we have to fill out paperwork and that will take too much time. Really well why can't we do that after the doctor sees my pet? Oh and heres the kicker. Well we could see you as an emergency patient and the charge is $125.00 to start and it goes up from there. OH SO YOU CAN SEE ME FOR $200.00 BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE TOO BOOKED UP! They are helping hands allright, help their hands to your wallet. They don't care about the animals, just the cash. FORGET THESE GUYS IF YOU LOVE YOUR ANIMAL. RUN, RUN FAR AND FAST.
