Honoring the bond between you and your best friend.
A locally owned cat and dog clinic on Highway 12 in Chehalis. Straightforward care, costs explained up front, and never an upsell.
Welcome to Jackson Hwy Vet Clinic
Your pet is family. We treat them that way.
We are a small, independent clinic in Chehalis, looking after the cats and dogs of Lewis County and the people who love them. No two animals are the same here, so no two visits are either. We treat this dog, not allergy dog. This cat, not nervous cat.
Dr. Amanda Spikerman has cared for animals here since 2015 and owns the clinic today. You are looked after by a small team who get to know you and your pet, so your history is familiar, not a file we are reading for the first time.
What we do
Comprehensive care under one roof.
Everyday medicine for cats and dogs, with the diagnostics and surgery to back it up. If your pet needs a specialist we will point you to one we trust.
Senior Wellness
Older pets need a closer eye. Tailored check-ups to keep them comfortable through their later years.
Surgery
From routine spays and neuters to soft tissue procedures, with pain relief and monitoring throughout.
Dental Care
Cleanings, extractions and advice that keeps the mouth healthy and the breath bearable.
Diagnostics
Digital radiographs and in-house bloodwork, so we get answers quickly when something is not right.
Vaccinations
Core and lifestyle vaccines on a schedule that fits your pet, given with as little fuss as possible.
Microchipping
A quick, permanent way to bring your pet home if they ever wander further than the parking lot.
How it feels to bring your pet here
Clear options, and a calmer kind of visit.
A plan, before a bill
You hear the options and the cost up front. Plan A, B or C, never a surprise at the desk on the way out.
Faces your pet knows
A small, familiar team who get to know you and your pet over time, so you are not starting the story over at every visit.
Low stress, low restraint
We use fear free and low restraint handling wherever we can. The best cat vaccine is the one the cat never noticed.
Find us on Highway 12
The little clinic in the fir trees.
You will find us at 628 US Hwy 12, next to Mary’s Corner, in good company with the Mary’s Corner Medical Clinic and Jackson Court House State Park. People drive in from Centralia, Mossyrock, Morton, Randle and further, partly because out this way good vets are thin on the ground, and partly because they keep coming back.
The clinic was founded by Dr. Dale Marker and his wife Donna, who saw a gap in care locally and decided to fill it. Amanda joined as his associate and took over the practice as he stepped back. It has been independent and locally run ever since.
Patients with personality
The faces on our wall.
We are not a stock photo kind of place. These are real patients and companions, cats, dogs and the odd ball python included.
Exotics and large animals
Not a cat or a dog? We will point you the right way.
We focus on cats and dogs, and we do that well. For reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, or anything with hooves, we keep a short list of clinics we rate and we are happy to share it.
Amanda keeps two ball pythons of her own, Ramen the Noodle Boy included, plus a parakeet, so she has firm opinions on where they should go.
Costs, out in the open.
You hear the cost up front, never as a surprise at the end. And when you need to spread payments out, we work with options like CareCredit and Scratch Pay, among others, so caring for your pet is easier to plan for.
