Welcome To whipple creek veterinary hospital

Practice limited to dogs and cats.

Dr. Craig Loftin graduated from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in 2001.
Following two rigorous internships at the Animal Specialty Group near Los Angeles, California (one year rotating internship, one year surgical internship) he and his family settled here in Vancouver, Washington in 2006.
Dr. Loftin's professional interests are in canine and feline wellness and geriatric medicine, cancer treatment options, and soft tissue surgery.
In 2018, seeing an unmet need in the region, he began the planning and building process for the Whipple Creek Veterinary Hospital. 

Our animal hospital offers wellness and sick patient appointments, surgery and dental services, digital x-ray capability, on-site and reference laboratory testing and pharmacy services for our patients.

We have the capability to diagnose and treat medical conditions such as: 

Diabetes

Thyroid diseases

Kidney diseases

Other urinary system diseases

Skin disorders

Heartworm disease

Other internal and external parasites

...and many other disorders

A partial list of surgical procedures offered includes:

Ovariohysterectomy (spay)

Orchidectomy (neuter)

Select mass removal

Abdominal exploratory surgery (such as a foreign body removal surgery)

Referral to the excellent board certified surgeons, internal medicine specialists, cardiologists, or cancer specialists (to list just a few) in the area is always an option, and we will assist you in that decision-making process. 

We do not routinely perform orthopedic (bone and joint) procedures, nor do we perform elective cosmetic procedures.
