Balanced Pet NW

Dr Watson and her team are simply the best. It’s really the only way to define this practice. Dr. Watson’s knowledge along with her genuine care far exceed any vet we have been to in 40+ years. She listens, she collaborates and cares for our animals like no other. We have been clients since 2017. Having a dog with special needs is very challenging but she never gave up on our dog Olive. Always thinking out of the box. If it wasn’t for her we would have lost our baby years ago. Her team is also very knowledgeable and respectful. Very very kind to our animals. I will always have my animals seen at this practice. We live over an hour away and would drive even longer if we had too for their care. Your animal will be so fortunate to see this team. Olive and Chacho are very grateful of Dr Watson

I can’t say enough good things about Balanced Pet NW. This is not your typical vet. Dr. Watson takes so much time to really assess what’s going on and always finds the right treatment approach, thoughtfully combining Western and Eastern medicine in a way that actually works. My dogs, Tucker and Odi, absolutely love going to the vet, for the first time. I have never seen my dogs run into a vet with that much excitement. I live all the way in Port Angeles and make the drive because it is completely worth it. I honestly wish I had found her sooner. She always has the right food and herbs on hand, so I walk out the door with everything I need instead of having to figure things out later. One of my dogs received PRP for a knee tendon tear and also had tooth extractions for broken teeth, and b

We adore Balanced Pet NW. Dr Watson is amazing, so knowledgeable. Both our dog and cat get outstanding care. From the cat: I agree with my human. I particularly like the acupuncture and massage services. (I believe they call the massages by another name. Whatever. They are massages.). I would warn other patients that nothing good happens in the back. Prepare yourself if they take you to the back. From the dog: I agree with human and cat. Among other services, I once got a pretty epic nipple piercing. Nothing good happens in the back. I once tried to file a complaint with Dr Watson as I was poked in the butt while in the back. Dr. Watson says taking a treat implies consent to this. So be warned of going in the back, especially if you take a treat.

We started bringing our sweet dog Kazzy to Balanced Pet over a year ago when it was still called Big Valley Vet. Without a doubt Dr. Watson is the best veterinarian we have ever found for our girl. For starters Kazzy absolutely loves going. Her tail wags, she doesn't shake, and she loves Dr Watson! Dr Watson talks to Kazzy and greets her like she's the most important one in the room! The exam rooms are set up to make the dog feel as comfortable as possible with comfy mats on the floor instead of a big scary metal table. I love the holistic approach that Dr Watson takes. She combines the best of Western medicine with alternative practices and philosophies. Just what I have been looking for for Kazzy for years!! So relieved we finally found her! She is thorough, patient, personable and very

I give 5 Solid Stars to Dr. Shelby and her caring manner with our cherished Australian Shepherd. Dr. Shelby is easygoing, informative and helpful when it comes to vaccinations and other health concerns with our beloved dog. We have been going to Big Valley Vet for many years and have been very happy with their care, especially Dr. Shelby. Recently they have gone through an overhaul with their appointment technology and have moved everything to a new app system which seems to work pretty well and their name is now "Balanced Pet NW." The approach is to engage both traditional and more holistic methods to treat pets from all angles. I appreciate that, and will stay open to all different sorts of treatments when they're needed. Having said that the prices have gone up quite a bit since I visi
