Founded in 1979, Chimacum Valley Veterinary Hospital is a full-service veterinary healthcare center located in Port Hadlock, WA. The hospital offers a wide range of services including wellness examinations, dentistry, vaccines, parasite detection and prevention, dermatology, surgery, internal medicine, weight management, senior pet care, and avian and exotic pet care. With our two locations nine miles apart in Port Hadlock and Port Townsend, we are able to offer a broad range of veterinary services—from traditional preventive and dental care, diagnostic testing, and surgical services to non-traditional integrated healing therapies like acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. In 2003, the Pet Townsend Veterinary Clinic started out as a mobile veterinary service until it found a permanent home at its current location, near the first hole of the Port Townsend Golf Course. We believe many cases can greatly benefit from Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) including acupuncture, herbal remedies, and nutritional therapy

What reviewers say
Chimacum Valley Veterinary Hospital is widely regarded for its exceptionally compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient veterinary team. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate anxious animals using gentle, low-stress handling techniques. Vets take time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, discuss treatment options, and provide consistent follow-up care. While the clinic maintains a clean, welcoming environment and offers prompt scheduling for urgent concerns, pricing tends to be on the higher side and corporate ownership changes have introduced some administrative frustrations for long-term clients.
