"Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission: to be of service to them whenever they require it." Saint Francis of Assisi
Spring has arrived in the Kittitas Valley, bringing along with it the dreaded TICKS. Is your pet protected? Ticks carry diseases that are harmful to your pet and you. We carry very effective flea and tick products for your dogs, cats and horses. Our staff can discuss with you which product will work best for your pet.
Prevention is always the best and most cost effective approach when it comes to your animal companion's health. We have created a Pet Profile (see log-in to the left in the sidebar of this page) so you can access your pet's medical history to see if they are up-to-date on vaccinations, de-worming and dental care. We can even add a picture of your pet if you email one to us. Clients that have given us their current e-mail address should have received a notice with a log-in and password information. If you did not receive the notice, please send us your email address so you can take advantage of this useful tool. We want to partner with you in keeping your pets, horses and livestock healthy and happy.
The Ellensburg Animal Hospital is a full-service veterinary hospital for all companion animals, horses, livestock, avian (birds), small mammals and reptiles. We offer vaccinations and wellness care, spay/neuter, surgery, reproductive health and a wide variety of diagnostic services. Our doctors and dedicated staff are committed to partnering with you to provide quality care with compassion, throughout your pet's life. We understand your pet is a family member and we will treat them as our own. Our doctors are:

WILDLIFE INFORMATION: Some of our wildlife services are changing. Due to state administrative decisions leading to the loss of our local rehabilitation support and the loss of a major rehabilitation center in Selah we will no longer be able to handle the volume of wildlife that we have in the past. We will only handle wildlife from Kittitas County. Wildlife coming from other counties should contact their regional wildlife office.
WDFW Yakima (509) 575-2740 WDFW Epharta (509)754-4624
This means we will no longer be able to handle barn owl babies from the hay companies; they can be taken to the only remaining wildlife rehabilitation center in central Washington at Blue Mountain Wildlife (541) 278-0215 or (509) 366-0888 in Benton City. Please do not bring them to Ellensburg from out of the county as we will not be able to take them. When Ellensburg Animal Hospital is closed or Dr. Fuller is not available please contact the Yakima regional wildlife office listed above or Blue Mountain Wildlife.
If you wish to comment on the lack of support for sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife please contact the regional office of the Department of Fish and Wildlife in Yakima. Our local wildlife agents in Kittitas County have been very supportive, they already carry as much of a work load as they can and are unable to respond to many of these calls.
