Purdy Veterinary Hospital: 30+ Years in Gig Harbor

Purdy Veterinary Hospital has been operating on 62nd Ave NW for over three decades, and the 4.6-star rating across 583 reviews tells you most people have solid experiences there. The front desk staff and vets consistently get praised for making visits low-stress—which honestly matters when dealing with an anxious dog. A lot of owners here mention they don't dread appointments, which is saying something. The facility handles everything from routine shots to more involved care, and they've apparently got experience working with litters if you're breeding or fostering.

That said, check the reviews before committing. You'll see glowing testimonials about exceptional care, but also some frustrated owners calling out inconsistent experiences. One person mentioned dropping $700 on sedation and bloodwork for a simple rabies shot when the dog was just being difficult, and felt like they didn't get other options explained or compassion afterward. Another complained about weekend communication falling short when their dog needed pain management advice. So it's not universally perfect—some people love it, others felt rushed or like their concerns weren't fully addressed.

If this is your vet, go in with a clear list of what needs doing so the appointment stays focused. If you're new to the area, it's worth trying out, especially if you need established care for multiple dogs. The location works if you're already near Rotary Bark Park for a pre-visit walk on 62nd Ave NW. Just manage expectations based on the mixed recent feedback—it's solid, but not flawless.
