Veterinary Cancer Specialty Care @ Bridge Animal Referral Center

In April I noticed he was holding his left hind leg off the ground, we took him to the vet the beginning of May and he was diagnosed with a soft tissue injury initially. About three weeks later we learned he had cancer and our vet referred us to BARC. I felt immediately calmed and cared for when making Riley's first appointment with Dr. Tripp and Dr. Murray. The folks answering the phone are always so helpful and kind. Riley had surgery July 15th and has made a wonderful recovery! It was difficult not being able to go in with him to his appointments but during our zoom meetings with the doctors I felt so secure with our decision to move forward with his amputation. I loved how Dr. Tripp explained our options as far as chemotherapy for dogs and what Riley's quality of life would be like. I want to thank Dr. Murray for talking to me on the phone a couple times during those first few weeks of Riley's recovery. I'm thankful that in all that sadness and chaos we were able to have the opportunity to enroll Riley in Four-Paws research to help other people and animals in the future. I would highly recommend their services to anyone. To this day when Riley goes back for follow ups he gets excited to see the people who saved his life. We cannot thank you enough.

BARC is amazing. I wish I didn't have to bring my cat here, but since I do, I'm so grateful for the kindness and knowledge of all of the staff. Dr. Tripp is kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable about cancer treatments for cats. When you send an email about your pet's condition, they get back to you the same day. I can't say enough good things about this place.

I am very impressed with my experience at Barc and especially Dr. Ferguson. About a year and a half ago my babygirl Mia was diagnosed with Lymphoma. She was told by her local vet in Ferndale that she would have 1-2 months to live. We were able to get a quick appointment with Barc in Edmonds. They were very thorough with their diagnosis and chemotherapy plan they would start her on to try and fight the cancer and help extend her life comfortably. The staff here are exceptional. They always went out of their way to make sure my nervous babygirl was getting lots of love, gave her treats and took extra time out of their day to say hi and check-in with us. I would recommend this team to anyone who wants their fur baby in good hands. Out of my entire experience with them and the roller coasters we experienced with Mia’s diagnosis, blood work changing all the time, thymoma diagnosis, switching multiple protocols and much more made it feel much easier with the confidence and support the Barc team provided. Mia made it 1 year and 2 months from when she was first diagnosed and I feel so blessed to have that extra time with her. I couldn’t have done it without you all! Thank you for everything including the memory items you went out of your way to provide for our family ??

In November I took my little girl to the vet thinking she had an infection. Within a few minutes, her vet let me know that my Haley had Lymphoma and without specialized treatment she would only have a few weeks. I was utterly devastated, she’s been my best friend and my only family family member for 11 years, ever since she was a puppy.

I did ALLOT of research and looked into all the oncologists in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. In everything that I found, BARC was the best and had the most advanced treatments. I made an appointment for Haley, from the first phone call I knew I made the right choice. An appointment was made for a consultation and at that consultation I was given all the information I needed and she had her first treatment.

Haley and I have been making the two hour trip to Edmonds from Blaine either once a week or every other week for months. The team there is always caring and compassionate, between taking care of my friend with end stage cancer and working three jobs I’m sometimes late to appointments but the team there is always understanding and accommodating.

Haley may not have the best odds as far as cancers go but I am beyond grateful for all the extra time BARC has given us. These folks are the best, I’m so glad to have them in our lives!

This is the place to go if your pet has cancer. They treat you and your pet like family. Everyone here is so kind and they genuinely care about their patients. Abby was always treated with love & respect and so were we. They did everything they could to make sure that we knew what was happening every step of the way. Unfortunately for us, Abby didn't get better. Dr. Tripp and the staff fought the cancer as hard as Abby did, but that particular kind of cancer doesn't give you much of a chance to survive it.
Thanks to the Drs. at our primary vet and Dr. Tripp we got a one more Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's with Abby. That means everything to my family. We will never forget the kindness and caring that these wonderful people heaped on us during an awful diagnosis. They were exactly what we and Abby needed.
