• HTeddy's Care at PAC Ave. Vet. hospital

  Teddy's family from Puyallup, WA
  Teddy Robbins

  Our dog, Teddy, loves to be boarded at Pac. Ave. Vet. Hospital! It is clean, warm, and he loves the people who take care of him. He loves his doctors, also, and never gets nervous when he has to go in for a check-up, shot, or boarding. We have our cockatiel, Versace, get his checkups here, also. The staff and doctors are honest, kind and very fair about giving information on treatment options. We won't ever go anywhere else for our pet care! Thank you, Dr. Gintz, doctors and staff!

  Success story of Isabella the rescue pug

  I December 9, 2009 my husband rescued a Pug from deplorable conditions. She had been left in an apartment for over a month with no food or water. She was flea infested she looked like she had scratched her eye and it had become an abscess. Flies had lay eggs on her and her ears, she weighed 5lbs my vet said I would be lucky if she made it through the night. I cried all the way home. She was to be seen every couple of days at my vets office for a month. On Jan. 9, 2009 I went to the store when I got back I know some thing was wrong she wouldn’t come out from behind the table. I finely went in after her I saw the eye I had been trying to save with Tobramycin for exactly one month was ruptured. I try desperately to get a hold of my vet but, it was after hours. My friend who had been going to VCA for years called them and told them what was going on they got her right in. Dr. Joseph Richter was who saw her and did all the testing on her eyes. He told me her eye need to be removed and I just cried. Here was this dog who had made it back from the edge of death. I had nursed every day for a month. She was heathy now all but her eye. Dr. Richter saved her life if we hadn’t removed her eye she would have died. He took great care of her.
  
  Now she is a happy hyper one eyed pug that weighs 14lbs. She is on of the pack in this house. I, my husband, and my five children will never forget Dr. Richter for saving her life and for having so much compassion. Even though I was not a client and another vet had been seeing her he didn’t care. All he cared about was saving her life.
  
  Thank you Dr. Richter for saving this military families rescue Pug.
