Dr. Bob is great! To me, he’s the quintessential Alaskan/country vet/consummate professional. He’s taken great care of our animals and we’ve recommended him to many others!

Don't know what happened to this place, but I won't be going back. Our regular vet is pretty booked out so she recommended we go to Bering Sea Animal Clinic. I was familiar with them because I would take my other dog in the past. The staff has become incompetent and rude. There is no patience with any animals in this "clinic". Our dog was hesitant with the vet since he has never met him or been in this facility. As he went to touch his hip (for a check up), my dog sat down and there was immediate frustration from the vet. No aggression, no barking, just sitting. He then wanted to put him under because he was so "difficult to work with." If you run a veterinarian clinic and don't know how to comfort an animal in order to touch them, it's probably time to retire. We decided against putting him under for a check up and then we were told "good luck getting anyone to work with him and then proceeded to give us a quote for putting him under." I could probably be more detailed. But seriously, if you can make it to Anchorage, go to Midnight Sun or something else. This place has fallen off.

The best people. Dr Bob, Ms Faith and the rest of the staff are amazing. They will take good care of your pets. No nonsense. We've trusted them over the years with many of our babies. Years ago I called them by mistake (wrong vet) 2 minutes before closing hours crying about my sick puppy not knowing what to do. Faith told me to come in ASAP, then I realized I called the wrong place - they said it's ok, come in anyway. They looked at her, she was ok, didn't charge me a thing, gave me a pep talk and sent me home. I'll never forget their kindness. They didn't have to do that. Loyal customer ever since.

We had an incredible experience with Dr. Sept. We needed an emergency surgery on our puppy’s knee And he truly saved us in a time of worry. We felt so safe, leaving our little one in the hands of this crew! They did incredible and he healed so well. Highly recommend

We’ve use Bering Sea as our primary vet for many years. I always appreciate Dr Bobs direct to the point communication. He’s very knowledgeable and conservative with treatments unlike a lot of other clinics that run up your bill with a bunch of unnecessary extras. We’ve have their staff do anything from vaccines to major surgeries on cats and dogs that we’ve owned over the years and couldn’t be happier with the treatments and costs.
