About Us

More on Tucker Road Animal Hospital

Our Mission

To provide comprehensive, relationship-centered veterinary care for the Columbia Gorge. We believe the best possible outcomes for our patients occur when:

  • the veterinarian and client both participate in decision-making,
  • communication is clear and kind
  • our entire staff is dedicated to knowing and supporting our community, our clients, and their pets

We strive to form long-lasting relationships built on trust, empathy, and respect, and we are confident that such relationships facilitate the best care for pets and their people.

Our Vision

To create a pet care experience where pets and their people feel welcome and at ease. From the moment a client and pet enter our facility, they are treated with kindness, respect, and a healthy curiosity. We take into account all aspects of a client and pet’s lifestyle and circumstances when recommending wellness, diagnostic and treatment protocols, which allows our approach to a pet’s health care to come from both a medical and a relational standpoint. Forming long term trusting relationships with pets and their people allows us to practice medicine in an individualized way, and allows the bond between pets and their people to be as strong as possible for as long as possible.
