Welcome to Fairhaven Veterinary Hospital located in Bellingham, Washington.

Located in the historic Fairhaven neighborhood of Bellingham, WA, Fairhaven Veterinary Hospital is proud to be a Fear Free Certified Hospital! We were the 23rd hospital nationwide to have earned this prestigious distinction. Our hospital has been providing full service veterinary care and referrals to the wonderful communities throughout Whatcom and Skagit county since 1979. FVH is firmly committed to compassionate, professional, and individually-tailored care for all of our patients and their pet parents. It is our belief that the wellness and healing of a family pet is best done through a cooperative approach between owner, veterinarian, support staff and, most importantly, the patient.  Together we can provide veterinary services that ensure wagging tails and purrs of delight for your four-legged family members for years to come.
Our dedicated team of Veterinarians: Dr. Mark Kummer, Dr. Wendy Zawoysky, Dr. Tamara Godbey, Dr. Mike Hinckley, Dr. Heather Schasch, Dr. Megan Kennedy and Dr. Kelly Estes.

To put it in one sentence, in our long experience with many dogs over many years, no other veterinary hospital has been so excellent in all respects as FVH.  It is the sort of professional, intelligent and caring place that animal lovers hope for, but only rarely find.
 
All three veterinarians we've seen -- Doctors Kummer, Zawoysky and Godbey -- have provided excellent and clear communication in matters ranging from routine physical examinations to emergencies, surgery, and cancer biopsy.  Likewise, support staff are excellent.

Moving to Bellingham from San Diego with our animals in tow, we find ourselves owing a debt of gratitude to the person that steered us to the Fairhaven Veterinary Hospital. We know that everyone at FVH is of the highest caliber and let it be known that you could not do better than place your animals in the their trust.

Over the past 17 years, the doctors, technicians and staff have seen us through good times and bad.  Their knowledge, skills and treatment are well prepared and tailored to our pets’ specific needs.  Their surgical skills saved our little Calliope when she was only 11 months old.

The FVH staff are friendly, compassionate. No one thinks about the terrible things that they must see. But they move forward, caring for our pets and never showing the heartache they must feel.  God bless them! It takes an incredibly selfless person to do the work they do.
