Wiltzius Pam DVM

Great Service

Dr. Pam is at all Creatures in Puyallup now.

She had been the vet for my special needs dog since he was 8 weeks old and helped us through some serious struggles with him.

She was there at the beginning and at the sad end just short of 11 years later in August 2021 - I can't tell you how fortunate we were to have made that journey with here there.

She has been the vet for all of my dogs for years and we have been through some crazy stuff, but this last one was extra special and I really appreciate how lucky I was to have her as a vet.

I left these photos in the review hoping someday Dr. Pam would see them and how she took a scrawny tiny 16 oz puppy and help him grow up into the healthy little 11lb sheepherding Seahawks fan everyone loved.

"Dr. Pam" approaches my sensitive malinois in a gentle but confident way that quickly earns their trust. She treats me like the essential member of their health care team that I am, listening attentively to my questions, concerns, and ideas and providing comprehensive, sensible, knowledgeable responses. Her previous time as a large animal vet shows in her realistic approach to care. For example, she agreed to stitch (actually staple) my dog in the office with local anesthesia instead of insisting on putting her under general anesthesia (at much higher cost and greater trauma to my dog), as other vets insist on doing. She takes the time to know my dogs' personalities and she respects what I say about how they will behave under various circumstances. She also takes the time to truly engage with my curiosity and desire to learn about things that affect them. For instance, she let me see various parasites in her microscope. She also gave me tips on purchasing equipment and learning how to repair small wounds myself when a vet visit is not possible (backpacking, etc.). She and Dr. Hedman are my strong favorites at River Road Animal Hospital, which is an excellent office, especially because of the hours -- they even operate on Sundays.
