We will be CLOSED for all Saturdays in the month of September (but open normal hours Monday-Friday otherwise).
Starting on October 5th, we will be continuing Saturday walk-in clinics, but only on the first Saturday of the month.
Please know that we are not making this change lightly and we appreciate the value so many have placed on having Saturday availability. This change will allow us to continue our mission of the last 70 years โ partnering with you by providing compassionate, tailored, and comprehensive health care while promoting happy and healthy lives for pets.

1. Weekday morning appointments: these generally are a good way for your pet to receive non-urgent care, but are typically booked 3-6 weeks out. All of our doctors (except for Dr. Mark Schrag due his surgical caseload) have days they accept morning appointments.
2. Weekday afternoon appointments: these are our most popular appointments as they allow you to schedule on a day that is convenient for you. The ability to schedule these turns on right at 10AM and they can be scheduled either by calling (509-327-9354 option 4) or by going through the link on our website (www.huntervet.com). That said, these slots can fill very quickly. If you're calling and get a voicemail, please leave your name, number, and the reason your pet needs care as they may be able to be seen in one of our emergency slots, if there is a cancellation, or as a same day drop off appointment (see below).
3. Saturday morning walk-in appointments: We are open on ONLY the first Saturday of the month (again, starting October 5th) for walk-in appointments. These are available on a first come, first served (except for triaged emergency cases) basis. Number of cases will be based on doctor and staff availability and may vary from month to month. All patients must be checked in before noon. Most Saturdays are busy and can have wait times upwards of 2-3 hours, so please bring a snack and a good book or tablet to keep your family entertained.
4. Drop off appointments: We do have the ability to accept a limited number of pre-scheduled and same-day drop off appointments for patients comfortable getting in and out of kennels with strangers. You will generally be asked to give permission for expected diagnostics and will need to be available by phone for us to call you when your pet is seen; however, we cannot guarantee what time of day your pet will be evaluated by a doctor.
