The Magic in Medicine

We were the children who would rescue injured lizards and mice. Who would save the worms after it rained. Who saw the magic in saving the life of an innocent creature. As adults, that is the magic that we carry with us today. It is why we have committed our professional lives to being able to deliver on a simple promise: to care for both you and your pet like we would our own. We’ll get to know you. 

At Island Animal Hospital, our veterinary team in Mercer Island, WA is committed to caring for your pet with the same love and devotion we give our own. We’ll take the time to care. And we’ll make sure you always feel understood, appreciated, and loved. Welcome to the family.

Deeper Collaboration

We get out of bed in the morning because our calling in life is to help your pet live the longest, happiest life possible. But we aren’t your pet’s hero – you are. The thousands of small or large decisions that you make for your pet through their life – the way you make them feel protected safe, and cared for – the unconditional love that you give each other, it means the world to both of you.

That is why we believe that the best medicine is deeply collaborative. We take the time to guide you through all the decisions you need to make for your pet, and all the factors to think about. We help you see the forest through the trees. We make it feel a little easier to care for your pet.

Because you are their hero, and every hero needs a guide.

Our Services

She lives for your footsteps. She yearns for your affection. She loves your presence. And when she looks into your eyes, she sees a hero.

“Our vet, An-Khanh Ives, DMV, is so amazing with our little Poe boy and has seen him a lot recently. She is always so positive and is truly passionate about animals! She is super calm, which calmed me down, and she helped my little boy feel way better. Poe has a love-hate relationship with hospitals, but I could also tell that he feels comfortable around Dr. Ives, which is rare. She is very impressive, and I would highly recommend going to this veterinary hospital! They are so amazing there, and all of the staff look genuinely happy and eager to help animals. Can’t wait to go there soon in better circumstances!”

“Had a great experience here this morning with our mid-sized nervous dog. Paperwork was easy, clinic was effortless (the exam rooms are right off of the waiting room, and you can pay in the exam room rather than going to the desk afterwards—I really appreciated not having to wrangle a nervous dog and credit card simultaneously). They were great about updating his Rxs, and they were straightforward about explaining all the costs for the exam, vaccinations, bloodwork, etc. The exam and vaccination pricing seemed in line with the previous vets we’ve had in the Bay Area.”

“My dog’s health suddenly declined, and I was referred here for a possible emergency appointment. They kindly squeezed us in late Friday afternoon. At the end, I had to put my dog down, but all the staff were so kind to me. They brought me tissues and water, answered all of my questions with sympathy, and checked the sister clinic’s opening for the next day and offered me to make an appointment so that I could focus on spending the last hours with my dog without making calls for an appointment. They even sent me a sympathy card 2 weeks later! I am so grateful for their kindness.”
