Editor,

As part-time island residents, my family has had little need for veterinary assistance for our animals, who travel with us every summer.

This past Saturday morning, however, our little Schnauzer took on an opponent that was more than she bargained for, causing her to suffer serious injury. After frantically calling area vets, we found the only one open on Saturday morning was South Whidbey Animal Clinic. As we approached the clinic with our wounded Daisy, we found the Clinic’s staff on the sidewalk waiting for us. They immediately took her to stabilize her and assess the injuries. They acted with calm professionalism, understanding and compassion.

Daisy needed to be transported to the mainland for additional care and the clinic not only arranged the details, but also called ahead to the ferry so we could get priority boarding. The staff helped us in every way possible and my family could not be more thankful.

The residents of South Whidbey are very fortunate to have such a dedicated team serving its four legged family members. Thank you South Whidbey Animal Clinic.

THE JUDISCAK FAMILY
