Northwest Spay & Neuter Center

Luckily my experience with them was really great. Sometimes it’s scary when you’re working with a place that is a high volume for something like fixing a pet. You’re going to get good and bad with both I guess. I brought my 2 year old Labrador Retriever in to get spayed they were super duper nice the price was great they spayed her gave her pain medication there and pain medication to take home also diagnosed her with a dermatitis that only cost me an extra 15 bucks for medication to fix and they microchipped her and gave her a rabies shot all for $ 160 I dropped her off right at check in 8 a.m. and they called me around 1 to let me know procedure went great and I could pick her up at 2 p.m. I couldn’t believe how quick it was. She is healing wonderfully I haven’t had any issues and her dermatitis problem that she was having when I had her rehomed to me was taken care of as well I would not have even noticed it right away and I would have ended up having to take her to a vet paying a vet visit just to get it fixed so I’m very grateful they noticed her dermatitis problems and I only had to pay an extra $ 15 to get it fixed. Everything went really well and I am really glad I brought Molly here to have this done

very nice treatment by everyone there i liked the way they talked to my babies they reacted fine to the surgery wanting to run and play by the second day, i’m very impressed by how we were treated i have already recommended them to others thank you!

As a long time, devoted pet owner and avid rescuer, I’ve spent a lot of time in vet clinics. This is a great facility and well organized for a much needed service in any community. We even had our dog chipped and all his vaccinations completed while he was there. They truly care about the dogs and cats in our community and make being a responsible pet owner easy. Highly recommend.

Staff is very friendly! We adopted a dog and the shelter didn’t watch him so he chewed his stitches open, we took him here the second we adopted him (they did the neutering) we told them what happened and they did the surgery right away! And since we had just adopted him, they made sure the shelter paid for it, so we didn’t have to. Now our new pup is feeling better and we are so happy! Awesome place!

The upper management at this office is horrible. They are nice to you until your pet has a problem. One of my dogs got an infection after a spay, and they claimed she was sick before the surgery. They refused to pay for antibiotics and referred me to a low income vet. Horrible!!!

Well, this is the place, if you are not rich but want your pet to be fixed. The people are really great. Kitty is so happy, he is up an running the day after surgery. i paid ten more dollars to for him to have a 72 hour pain-​free shot instead of trying to force medicine on him for five dollars, and he was not even showing any signs of pain, but sleeping a lot too off and on. It is like in a hospital, when people wait in line to have surgery, really no difference– except you don’t wait there like you do with humans. Some people have pets to love, because they are kinder than humans and spend their time rather with them, even if not rich and pay for their care, instead of investing it into humans. Pets have so much love, we can learn for them. I would definitely go back again, if I had to.

I was impressed. I worried about it being too much like a factory setting, just passing them through, but it wasn’t at all. The staff was great. People were friendly and seemed to really care about the animals.
It’s a little strange to come in all at once and do the drop and pick up with so many people, but they seemed to handle it well and it was a quick turnaround. We’ve had no issues since the surgeries.

We took our kittens here because it was very inexpensive, only $ 10 for a spay and $ 35 for a neuter. It was like they were herding cattle, there were so many people they were trying to just move everyone in and out. Staff didn’t seem to be very empathic or compassionate. When the kittens came home, our boy had all of the skin on the end of his nose scraped off. I was not at all pleased with the way our girl’s incision had been stitched up; it had been done very poorly. It took over 2 full weeks for it to heal. Having worked in a vet hospital previously, I have seen many incisions.
The next time we get a pet, we will pay the extra $ 100 and take it to a hospital that will care for him or her, instead of treating it like a chore to get done so they can move on to the next.

Absolutely phenomenal staff and care for my fur babies. Immaculate facility with straight forward directions and pricing that cant be beat. I always recommend this facility due to its consistency and service. I worried about turn and burn but the fact of the matter is they take the time to check your dog and call right away with any concerns and they do only spay and neuters. It made me feel safe knowing if something happened during surgery, these people have probably seen it before. I have used their services for three of my dogs and two kitties that I fostered. As for kennel cough and things of the like, its your responsibility as an owner to have your dogs vaccinated and up to date, not the clinics. Preventive care. Its why hospital employees have to have flu shots.

I actually volunteered her for a few months, and I can tell you first hand the staff here works very hard everyday. The doctors and staff are excellent, they do so many surgeries a day and but still make sure the pets are attended to. The animals are checked on every few minutes to make sure they are recovering well. The place is cleaned daily and everyone is very friendly. I would recommend coming here to get your dog, cat or rabbit fixed rather than the vets.

This place was pretty nice BUT BEWARE my puppy caught kennel cough right after being neutered here. Yes I’m positive it had to be from here. The pros are the staff was very friendly and helpful, prices seemed really good and they’re obviously doing a great thing and helping a lot of people. Cons are everyone comes in at the same time to drop off then again to pick up. That makes it feel a little impersonal but this is a clinic so it’s not surprising. Overall I liked it but I’m upset that my baby is sick now.

We had our 5lb, 9mth old Chihuahua spayed here this past week. It took a couple of days for her to snap back, but she’s doing great now. I was very nervous taking her somewhere than our regular vet, but they are the pros.
I love what they’re doing here and the staff is very sweet. It’s hectic and stressful at drop off, but all in all a good experience and a great price.

I was referred to this facility by my pet adoption group: P.U.R.R.R.
I have a 5 month old puppy who was neutered and is he is currently napping with his cone on the couch.
At first it seemed a little «cattle-call”-ish Everyone shows up at 8am or 4pm they are a very busy place but seem to have everything in order.
It was clean and they keep cats and dogs separate. The staff is nice, sweet, and attentive.
The seem to have this down to a science. Even though my puppy was probably 1 of 12 surgeries that day, every dog owner received personal post op briefings: from how the surgery went to specific aftercare details.

While Coalition Humane is doing a great service for the community, my individual experience was not good! My dog, a brachyceohalic breed, was put too far under anesthesia and took two days to shake it off fully! She also was not sent home with antibiotics, now was I told she was going into heat! After some nerve wracking post op issues I tried to call them back to bring her back in and found out rather are closed for 2 weeks over the holiday. After a costly trip to my regular vet I found out her post op bleeding was due to her being in heat and she also had a slight internal infection– which could have been avoided had they sent her home with antibiotics as is the general veterinary practice post surgery. Again, while I commend them for the service they are providing, I will not be recommending them to any of my friends for spay, especially if they are a snub nosed dog.

Coalition Humane is one of the most amazing places in Tacoma. They offer free and low-​cost spay and neuter services for cats and dogs. They really know animals, and they’re providing a critical service to our community.
I’m managing a feral cat colony with their help – I pay $ 10 per cat to get the «catnip» package (spay/​neuter, rabies shot, ear tipping, and ear mite treatment). If you are low-​income, you can apply to get services FREE through the «Cinderella Fund» in conjunction with the Humane Society.
Make an appointment and bring your cat or dog in to be fixed – please!

This non-​profit group offers low cost spay and neuters to low income families. They can also give vaccinations and other services to your pet when you bring them in to get fixed!
