Priti Vage

Dr. Priti Vage

Dr. Priti Vage is originally from Connecticut and attended the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. Priti moved to the Pacific Northwest a little over a year ago to be closer to her partner and the naval base in Oak Harbor. She loves to explore all the PNW has to offer by hiking, camping, and kayaking. She has a sweet dog named Joise who loves people but, would rather not travel so much. Dr. Vage is excited to be in Anancortes and looking forward to providing quality medical care for your pets! 

Beth Scheenstra

Dr. Beth Scheenstra

Dr. Beth is a Washington State University graduate and a Skagit Valley local who has been practicing locally for over a decade. Working exclusively with small animals, she enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine.

Preventive medicine is the cornerstone to her guiding principles in practice.  If she can prevent, slow, treat any disease process allowing a pet to live a longer healthier life than she feels she has done her best medicine. Because of this desire Dr. Beth takes special interest in geriatric medicine, long term pain control, oncology and general preventative care.

When Dr. Beth is not practicing you will find her running with her dogs or her two daughters. Dr. Beth is an active alumnus with her husband who works for the WSU-Extension in Mt. Vernon and they visit Pullman often to cheer for their favorite college sports.
