Overview

Best Friend's Veterinary Center is pleased to serve Oak Harbor, WA and the surrounding areas. Our goal is to provide you and your pets with the best veterinary experience possible

In 1980, Dr. Eric Anderson opened Best Friend's Veterinary Center, where he remains to be a practicing doctor, director, and chief of staff. Frustrated by an absence of critical care options for pets in the area, in 2005 Dr. Anderson led local colleagues to form the Pet Emergency Center, which now serves the emergency needs of critical care patients throughout Island and Skagit Counties. In 2007, after years of planning, training, and implementation, Drs. Anderson and Williams started the Thyroid Treatment Center in Mount Vernon
