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.

We have been bringing our dogs to Fairhaven Veterinary Hospital for over 15 years and we have always received excellent care from them. All of the doctors are very knowledgeable and highly skilled. Just as importantly though, both doctors and their assistants are very understanding and compassionate.

My dogs are my family.  I strive to give them only the best of everything - whether it's their food, exercise, or veterinary care.  Fairhaven Veterinary Hospital combines the thorough and professional care they need with a genuine desire to make them the healthiest and best pets they can be.
