I have been bringing pets to the veterinarians at Kulshan for two decades, ranging from cats and dogs to goats and horses (including a dog the size of a small horse lol). The office staff are friendly and always greet us with smiles, the vets are patient and willing to answer a billion questions. They have been gentle and sympathetic when we have needed to put pets to sleep, and have laughed along with us when my goats kept escaping. When discussing treatment options, they lay out all the choices with full information (including costs). They will share what they would choose for their pet, and

Very good Veterinarian Hospital! Everyone was so nice from the receptionist the Nurses and the Veterinarian. I told them that I was on a budget so I was quoted how much everything cost and where I was on the total and I was able to stop where I needed to. My dog Kaidyn of course was nervous,most animals are when they go to the doctor well most humans are too. My dog was treated real nice and I was able to get everything he needed at the time of visit without going completely broke. Great place to take your pet.

We were very impressed with the staff and service we received today.
Dr Macrath was very thorough, and went over his exam of our dog who has been showing some pain when getting up. He took the time to contact our vet in Arizona, get the x rays and go over them before we arrived.

We now have a diagnosis and a treatment plan in place. The staff was friendly and welcoming also.

The price was extremely reasonable and we have already arranged to have our dog boarded there when we attend a wedding next month.

We strongly recommend Kulshan Veterinary and Dr Macrath!

Took my cat's urine for culture on 4/1, should take 3 days to process. I called them after 6 days to find it was never processed. Receptionist told me to just be late for work the next day & bring cat in the morning. I drive 2 hours a day commuting to & from home/daycare/work. I brought cat in after work & daycare on 4/8 to retrieve another urine… sample. I had agreement with vet that I was not being charged again because I already paid for a test they never did. On 4/12 I call for test results & am rudely told someone will call me tomorrow. On 4/13 vet says cat has a uti

My two cats just received their well examinations with Dr. Stanfield. I was pleased with the check in protocols during COVID-19. My cats received the same quality treatment from their vet and from the staff. I would highly recommend Kulshan Veterinary Hospital.

We had an emergency situation and they answered the call and helped us out right away. They were not our regular vet, but no questions asked they got us in and went above and beyond. The staff were so… compassionate and caring to the situation and even brought out tissues, water and lollipops for my boys to help us calm down. They saved our Misty’s life and we are so grateful.

When you need a surgery done on your dog you need to go to Kulshan, with the most skilled vets!! Excellent and quick work. I knew my boy was in very capable hands, he went under for knee surgery and is recovering very well. A major surgery should be done by a professional and they are that and more at Kulshan! Go here, your pet will thank you.

This place is the best. I recently borough my dog Buttercup in and got bloodwork and xrays done for her. They are QUICK to get back to you and the vet has been emailing me herself in a very timely manner answering all my questions. I love them and am thankful they love my girl!

I trusted my dog at Kulshan vet for a couple years, but not anymore. What encouraged me to stop bringing my pet to Kulshan was when he was stung by a bee. He began to swell and have itchy red hives all over his body and had a very hard time breathing. Kulshan brought him back within 3 minutes and said he had an already existent "skin condition" and that it was nothing to be worried about. I knew he was stung by a bee and going into anaphalytic shock; I rushed him immediately to Emergency Care because I knew Kulshan was minimizing my dogs health issue. He was given an epinephrine shot

I was so impressed with the staff and service at Kulshan. Our dog was having some digestive problems that worried us, and when we were not able to get in our regular vet, we called Kulshan and got an appointment the same day within a few hours of calling. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the doctor and her assistant were very thorough and took their time. They were very reassuring and provided helpful explanations for what was going on with our dog.

When after a few days our dog wasn't improving, I called the vet (on a Saturday- big bonus that they're open on Saturdays!)

This veterinary hospital is also now located in Ferndale, WA, not far from I-5. I have received prompt, courteous service at both locations, and pricing is very competitive. They did not try selling unnecessary procedures or meds, although we explored possibilities and I was able to make a well-educated choice about a treatment plan. They were very patient and gentle with my elderly dog.

We actually love Kulshan and wouldn't take our pets to any other vet. We have a number of dogs that they take care of. In the last year they have helped us say good-bye to a few of them. BUT.... while Drs Erickson, McGraff and Stanfield have all done great jobs at euthanasia with our dogs, Dr Jordon however needs retraining or maybe just stick with cats. She is a nice person but be sure to keep your dogs away from her. Our dog was suffering enough and was there to end his suffering but she had difficulty getting the euthanasia drug into our dog and he began suffering as he tried desperately
