"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
During the winter season there are basic needs that all our companion animals need. Adequate unfrozen water, a sheltered place in out of the weather, increased food calories for warmth and attention to the affects of ice on feet are only a few of these. Please contact our office for questions about tooth maintenance in horses to better enable them to process winter feed. Also, elderly dogs and cats often are more challenged by the winter season and evaluation can help us support them better.
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 are:
Michael R. Fuller DVM
Daniel Charlton DVM
Michelle Charlton DVM
Samantha Howard DVM

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 Ephrata (509) 754-4624
WDFW Yakima (509) 575-2740
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.
