Services
Ballard Animal Hospital is a privately owned veterinary hospital serving patients and clients at the same Location for over 60 years. Dr. William Brennan built the original structure and opened for business in 1953. In his design, he included a three bedroom apartment, located below the clinic, where he and his family lived for several years.
At Ballard Animal Hospital, it is our commitment to provide up-to-date, comprehensive and professional care throughout the life of your pet. Our services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventive care, the diagnosis and treatment of disease and complete medical and surgical care. We understand the special role your pet plays in your family and treat our patients as we would our own pets. Our goal is to practice the highest quality medicine and surgery and make certain that our clients and their companion animals feel cared for.
Your pet's annual exam allows for early detection and prompt treatment of health problems, but it's also the way that we get to know you and your pet. This doctor, patient, client relationship forms the foundation for caring for the health of your pet throughout its life. At least once, and then as patients age, twice per year, your pet should have a complete physical examination. Remember that your pet's lifespan is shorter than ours and their health can change significantly over a 12-month period.

doesn't recommend Ballard Animal Hospital.

I recently came home with a new puppy on May 30th. I had an appointment at Ballard Animal Hospital on June 1st. A fecal sample was collected for testing during this appointment. The next morning (June 2nd) I had a missed call from Ballard Animal Hospital. I called them back about 2 hours later, and asked them what it was for, and they didn't mention any results of the fecal sample.
Today is June 15th, and I just received a phone call from Ballard Animal Hospital informing me that my puppy has Giardia in his fecal sample. I asked why they are telling me this now. They said that they called me on June 2nd to let me know and they are following up on it now. Excuse me???? This was never discussed or mentioned to me. How did it take 2 weeks for them to follow up on test results? Extreme negligence. I am so disappointed and will be taking my business elsewhere. DO NOT TRUST THIS VET WITH YOUR PET

This is a really great local vet. They take such good care of all the animals and give great advice on how we can look after our dog. Really appreciate their great service and follow ups. Never any problems finding parking in the lot at the front. Next door are some good cafe and food options if you have a bit of a wait.

Took our cat in for a check up. We were charged 64$ to get his BLOOD PRESSURE taken, 160$ for blood work, 15$ for disposing of his needle, 74$ for the urinalysis, and 90$ for a new pet fee. None of this was stated beforehand, they just did it without asking prior. They were also 20 minutes late for our appointment, and the appointment lasted 45 minutes longer than stated. We were extremely disappointed and feel cheated by this place.

Dr. Howe and the entire staff here are amazing. They listened to my concerns about my dog's health and took it seriously, and suggested the necessary tests and procedures to rule out any major issues. They also checked in before running any tests so I didn't have any surprise costs. Once the tests were complete over the following days I got prompt updates with the results. They clearly love animals and make me feel like my dog is in good hands.

After my favorite vet (who saved my dog's life) moved to another state, I stayed with that office, but was not happy with the lack of a bedside manner of the replacement vet. I decided to try Ballard Animal Hospital and was immediately taken by their warmth, expertise, and concern for their patients. I have seen 3 of the vets there, who all have administered great advice and taken good care of my precious 13 year old GSD. I highly recommend them.
