What our clients say about us

“

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the staff! Dr. Muller and Dr. Krisko have provided phenominal care for my frenchie and his eye issues! Haley (vet tech) and Meiko (receptionist) are both so warm and friendly each time we have come! I love that I can get timely care, when needed, with their urgent care appointments! 10/10 all around. Highly recommend!

Our Dedication to Prompt & Accurate Pet Care

Our skilled veterinarians and staff know that emergencies don’t run on a convenient schedule. We are passionate about helping your pet receive the prompt and effective veterinary care they need when they need it. Our practice prioritizes same-day appointments when possible, with at least one veterinarian on-site at all times, six days a week, to accept urgent visits at short notice.

When you bring your pet into our clinic, our veterinarians will first run a thorough exam to uncover any potential underlying concerns needing our attention. We will check your pet from head to tail and run additional testing and diagnostics, which may include x-rays, bloodwork, ultrasound, urinalysis, and more. Exams and testing will help our team determine which of our broad range of services and procedures will help your pet. Emergency surgery is also available if deemed necessary.

Barry

A native of northern Colorado, Barry transplanted to the PNW in 2017 and has been enjoying all it has to offer ever since.

A native of northern Colorado, Barry transplanted to the PNW in 2017 and has been enjoying all it has to offer ever since. As a child, there was always an inner voice drawing Barry towards caring for animals of all types and after losing his job during the Covid-19 shut-down, he finally listened. An opportunity to work in an ER presented itself, and he jumped in to a career in veterinary medicine! He quickly fell in love with emergency medicine, caring for all those fur babies and their humans during the stressful, scary times they needed it most. The ER and Urgent care became a second home as he worked as Triage and Lead Assistant, sponging up as much knowledge as possible while studying to become a Veterinary Technician. In May of 2023, a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis caused him to take a step back from the floor, and after some time away, he joined the amazing team at Wheaton Way Veterinary Hospital. When he is not working, he enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons and other fun tabletop games, reading in his backyard, and hanging out with his wife Lilia and their two furry kiddos, Benji and Bailey.
