Greenwood Animal Hospital

Horrible, I would never suggest them. Unless you have all cash up front! We have a Chihuahua who may die from ingesting something and because I didn't have $580 up front I could get no help...as a mother of 6 it was hard to break it to my kids. I have always taken my pets here and referred people throughout the last 10 years and never again!!!! I offered $120 up front and my debit card info as I get paid next week but these heartless fools would not even take it. If I were anyone else I would say go for a company that isn't about money and is more about saving animals. Read Less

Dr. Zile is by Far the Best Veterinarian, We have been with him now for over 8 years. He is Brilliant of how he cares for our dogs. He is a compassionate and caring Healer. We travel at least 8 miles to bring our dogs to him, its worth it to us to have the best care! I know they are in Great hands with Dr. Zile. They love seeing her which is big. He explains everything to you in a way that you can understand it and heals my dogs with ease and care. He is very reasonable and does not do unnecessary things. Sonny and Frankie come first when they have a visit and they have his full attention. He is Professional and kind. Also his staff is Great too! All we can say is Thank God for Dr Zile! A Plus!

I brought my cat here almost 2 years ago when he had a urinary blockage. Dr. Mayo, the traveling surgeon and his LVT, Nicole, came in to do his surgery right away. The staff at both facilities are amazing and I can't thank them enough. Read Less

These folks deserve 6/5 stars - I can’t even begin to describe the experience we’ve had with this vet. They feel like family and we’ve only been clients for a year. Receptionists, vet techs, and veterinarians are all beyond the best. Affordable, open all days and late hours (have an emergency Thanksgiving morning? No worries, come on in!), no appointment necessary, no inflated or stuffed invoices, simply the best animal care in all of Seattle. We have two dogs and two cats, and have TONS of experience with vets - and these wonderful people blow us away nearly every visit. Read Less

LOVE Dr. Raj!! Our 9 year old labradoodle was told she needed shoulder surgery. We came here for the free surgery consultation and left with a different diagnosis of Spine Injury! Dr. Raj is a newer vet which means he is THOROUGH!! Did a full physical exam and neurological exam- our primary vet and PEARL urgent care clinic in Renton didn't do this thorough of an exam. He recommended strict rest in a kennel and increased her pain medication and put her on steroids. He comes in on WEEKENDS! Walk ins are welcome and he makes recommendations based on price and what is best for your dog. They start visit cost at $30 and they are CHEAP for teeth cleaning! So happy I found them. My only complaint is its location is off 99, dirty and SMALL!! Don't just the provider on the space- they are great! And the staff is so nice as well! Our dog is fully recovered and doing GREAT!

These folks are always there for us! We've been taking our pup here for years, and recently took our cat in for an emergency. They're excellent for routine care and emergencies alike. The docs are knowledgeable, compassionate, and helpful, and I always feel like I know what the best options are for my critter. The rest of the staff are always friendly and warm. Prices are fair and reasonable. This is the kind of place you'll feel good taking your non-human babies! Read Less

This is the vet that you have always wanted. They are loving, knowledgeable and honestly a little under-priced. You can tell that they truly love animals and will always do right by your pet. We have gone for years for both routine and emergency care for our puppers and have always walked away feeling assured and well taken care of. Read Less

I cannot, in a brief review, express how fabulous this animal hospital is. I took my 10 year old  German Shepherd in last Saturday for emergency treatment of an infected wound. Dr. Tom saw us within 20 minutes of our phone call, did an emergency surgery within the hour and had my old lady pup home to me that same night. My incredibly stubborn and apparently insanely pain tolerant dog ripped out her drainage tube two days later. We called, went in, got checked and patched up. No charge. THEN my fur child pulled out some stitches. Again, we show up, they patch her up, and no charge. We offer payment, cookies or other treats and they decline. "We just want her to be healthy" they say. What else can you ask for? Thank you.  Thank you. Thank you. You took terrifying and stressful situations and helped us and our dog heal. We hope to see you for less crazy situations in the future. With all our gratitude, Amanda, Loren & Olive Read Less

I feel obligated to leave a review, even though it's been a few years. I just saw I had an "unfinished review." Regardless, DO NOT BOARD YOUR ANIMAL HERE!!! Please!!!! Even years later I'm still traumatized from this experience. I took my dog here to get boarded as it was the only reasonably priced place around. Let's just say you get what you pay for. I picked up my poor Great Dane who smelled like pee and had developed scabs on his elbows in just days. This is likely from being crated. I should have known this place was sketchy when I dropped him off since they wouldn't allow me to go back there with him. When I picked him up, his right eye was swollen and the veterinarian told me that he had developed something that would require surgery. My dog looked depressed and was so lethargic. As soon as we left I immediately started crying because I knew my dog was not happy and I felt guilty for leaving him there. He was so lethargic and looked so sad. It honestly took weeks before I felt he was back to his normal self. PLEASE DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOG HERE!! This was the worst experience and I don't feel this place should legally be able to "board" dogs. In regards to Bentley's eye, I took him to a eye specialist who found a small laceration on his eye that was causing his lower lid to swell in an attempt to protect his eye. After a few appointments and weeks of eye drops his eye had finally settled back to normal.. Read Less

My folk's dog broke a nail (out of town) so I took him here where we usually go and they were not upfront about where the price was going to land. when they gave me the final price for taking care of his wound it was more than I had on me. I asked if they could invoice me and they said no they would want my folks to call from Europe to pay them. I tried asking if we could come in tomorrow and they insisted that he would stay with them until they received payment. my dog gets extreme anxiety in the vet's office or boarding. The vet tried to tell me that the reason I didn't hear him barking was because he had made a new friend in the kennel in the back and he would be happy to stay. THAT IS SOME BS IF I EVER HEARD IT. the reason he wasn't barking before was because he had been sedated. By the time I had left to find a credit card and come back he was barking his face off, I could hear it from out front. They overcharged for an office visit that was literally the vet checking his pulse and not even writing it down I don't know what they do with that info but it's hard to use information you don't have written down. As I was leaving with him they handed him over and I was confused because they billed me for medications that said take home but they didn't give me any. I asked and the front desk staff said they gave him the meds already but I am not convinced. If I could give no stars I would... they charged me for $75 of service I'm not convinced in any way that my dog received. Read Less

Don't go to this place with your new puppy. Going over there was a huge mistake. We took our puppy for her first vaccinations and they ripped us off. We ended up vaccinating our puppy for things we should have never vaccinated her. Some of those vaccines were unnecessary. Some of them are not recommended here in the US. We paid 40 dollars for a heart warm test when our dog was a puppy and they can't see if they have that until they are 8 months or so. Terrible experience. Save yourself some money and go somewhere else like Vetco where they only charge you for the vaccines, and for other things go to Conpanion Pet Clinic. Is even cheaper and they won't fool you.

Said it before and I'll say it again...this family run Vet clinic is such a comfort to animal lovers. They truly love animals and their human parents. They have been caring for our shelter kitty with auto immune deficiencies for 6 months. Recent overnight stay due to infection. Other experience with clinics is money money money. They are affordable and so loving to our sweet kitty. Baby talk and lots of follow  up phone calls to and about the patient. Animal illness can be so stressful but it is made more manageable with this amazing family vet. Thank you Dr. Zile and fam! Love Lola Read Less

Took my dog in around end of last Dec (less than a month ago) because she had a cut on her paw from playing outdoor, they did the whole health exam thingy on top of all other charges including some vaccinations and drugs for the cut, well I see it as an office visit charge, even though all he did was checking her teeth, touching her butt and hear her heart beat... took about 10 sec, easy $30, that is totally fine with me to be honest, I think an annual or semi annual check up is good for my dog. Got a call few days ago, receptionist told me that my dog is due for this and that vaccinations, I took my dog in yesterday and specifically asked that I am only here for the vaccination, they still took me into the small room, vet came in, I knew this is not just getting vaccination, he started to touch my dog and check out her teeth, before he spoke, I told him that I am aware that a teeth cleaning is needed because you told me that less than a month ago, I've been very busy and will schedule that in the next week or so. Vet went back out to the back to grab the vaccination, came in to gave them to my dog. In the end, I was charged with the "health exam" fee of $30 again... I asked why is that health exam fee is required, since you guys already did that for my dog literally less than a month ago. Front desk lady said because the vaccination she got today is only applied once an year, so it's a requirement to also do the health exam, but other types of vaccinations are not required to pair with health exam... I asked, well you can't just skip this one because she literally just had a 10 sec health exam for $30 LESS than one month ago, she insist that it's a requirement. Don't get me wrong, I think pets should get their "health exam" at least once an year OR even twice an year, I am all up for that... OR even if she looks or behaves abnormally when visiting the clinic, please give her an exam. BUT in my situation, she just had one less than a month ago, I already know what's going on with her, she is still considered young and active, I don't see why I need another one for the cost of $30... easiest money to earned or legally robbed. I have moved up north miles away from Northgate area and should've taken my dog to a different clinic long time ago, but I decided to stick with them... but I guess it is a good time to move on. Be aware of all the "mandatory charges", and triple confirm with them before they do anything, or you will be charged.Read Less

This place is rare and excellent in every single way. They saved my daughters cat's life when she had literally hours to live - if that! They stopped what they were doing and took her to surgery without delay. I have never experienced anything like it even when needing medical attention myself. I hope they know how much they are appreciated and respected in these times when quality and skill and love are so hard to find. One last detail. Ive gone when I was financially quite well off and also when I was homeless and had nothing but a sick animal. They did not notice the difference, Truly awesome, Thank you so much to the staff and everyone at Greenwood Animal Hospital. Read Less

Wow! This doctor and the family and staff and incredible. I found this place because it was the least expensive for some dental work for my dog. They did the work for half the price as any other local vet. Plus, they were beyond considerate to me and loving to my dog. I've taken him back several times since with the same experience. They even board pets for a very reasonable price. I trust this clinic with my dog, even on vacation. So happy to find a vet that is affordable, knowledgeable and loving!Read Less

For 9 years we were clients at another vet clinic in Seattle. For those 9 years, the first 5 were great--- then they got so slammed they could no longer guarantee an appointment with the vet of our preference. Seeing as we were mostly going for physical exams and annual shots I was ok with that. Then it all went downhill. Last year, our 11 year old male pug went from healthy to obviously suffering with something with what felt like over night. We rushed him to urgent care--- got a bad, completely wrong diagnosis ( that's another story), but were told to follow up Asap with our dogs provider. You know what--- they just didn't have time for us, couldn't fit in our feverish, ailing senior dog. No alarm when I begged to talk to the vet to try and plea-- basically we were made out to be foolish. I called all over Seattle, trying to get someone to see our pug. After a few calls, we made it down the list to Greenwood Animal Hospital. They could get us in within the hour. They didn't have any appointment slots but what we were describing, they would find a way so that we could get the pug in.After some scans and bloodwork--we found the culprit. Kidney failure ( NOT the tooth infection that urgent care sold us on). Got some meds, and felt like we were on a good track. The vet at Greenwood talked to us about the age of our pug and that we were catching the kidney failure a little later than they would have liked so there was a possibility he would not pull through.We had a stellar next day with our pug at home. He was slow, but back to sunning himself in the yard, bit more of an appetite and just healthier. The following day we woke up to a non responsive pug--- eyes open and very shallow breath, but otherwise non responsive. We picked him up and got the kids and ran to the car. My husband was holding our pug while I got our son in his car seat and when I turned the around my husband had sank to the grass and was crying. Our fur baby passed away right then and there in his arms.  After we cried we called the vet to ask what we should do now. He (the vet) was audibly shaken and deeply sad. he ran through the options of what we could do, and we opted to bring the pug in to be cremated. I couldn't go in. I sat in our car sobbing. This pug was my pug that I rescued when I was a young college student-- before there was anyone else in the family, it was the pug and I. I couldn't believe it ended so abruptly.  I could see through the window the vet come out after the assistants had taken the body from my husband, and stop him, shake his hand and the open his arms and offer a hug. My husband who is not emotional person, leaned it majorly for that hug. I put my head in my hands to cry a bit harder and only looked back up when I heard a knock on the car window. It was the vet. He saw me and came out to give me a hug as well.  While he was hugging me he offered some words of reassurance and compassion and then gave us all a group hug again.I would highly recommend taking your animal to Greenwood Vet Clinic. When someone shows you that much compassion and love towards the end of an animals life you know they have great respect for animals.  There are no bells and whistles here, but that stuff doesn't matter. What is here, is a lot of love, compassion and knowledge about animal health. Read Less

Dr. Zile and Dr. Tom took great care of our elderly labrador in correctly diagnosing and treating his cancer. He looks great 14 days out from surgery. Their prices are affordable, which we really appreciate. The front desk staff and vet techs are professional, personable, and friendly. Thank you! Read Less

My friends recommended this doctor and I'm very satisfied that I took a chance and took our GSD to them. Even thou it takes us almost an hour to get to the doctor, but I would not change him. They are very nice, polite and very generous team. They are true professionals in what they do. I'm very thankful to m friends for the recommendation. Read Less

Everyone there was great! Very friendly and efficient and made sure we were taken care of. I don't believe any unnecessary tests or meds were prescribed everything seemed to be in my dog's best interest. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the fee for a written prescription. But on the plus side of you find something cheaper somewhere else they are willing to meet you in the middle so it's less than t would be for the prescription cost. Read Less

I took my dog here yesterday for a bad scratch on his eye. There was virtually no wait. The staff was SUPER friendly, patient when explaining everything to me, and I'm sure I got out of there spending less money than I would have anywhere else. He ended up having surgery and he was in and out of there in less than 3 hours. I will definitely be bringing my other pets back here! So convenient that you can walk-in and they are open 7 days a week :) Additionally if your pet needs any kind of work done there are a ton of yummy places to eat in the same shopping center while you wait! Great experience overall and my dog is expected to make a full recovery :) Read Less

I would take my two Bichon Frse buddies No where else! Today they turn thirteen years old! Thank you Dr. Zila (DVM) and and your staff, fer all these years of loving medical care of my lil buddies Rocky and Michelle! We love you all! Read Less

This is a very professional and affordable animal hospital with friendly staff. I am always greeted upon arrival and I am met with right away. I highly recommend Greenwood Animal Hospital. I brought my 18 year old senior dalmation- retriever Joya. Dr. Zile treated her with sensitivity and dignity. When we return for her, she has a large grin and is wagging her tail. We are very appreciative of the quality care and explaination of treatments before any steps are taken. Read Less

Took my 14 year old cat in & blood work showed kidney failure. They kept her overnight for hydration & were told on phone next day we "couldn't" pick her up until she was eating. We went in to see her & she was in an extra large cage over another cage with a dog in it. She was hooked to IV and wild eyed in back of cage& did not even recognize her family. Was growling & howling like wild animal. The 2 vets in there were leaning against a table with arms crossed across chest & smiling. Told me & my granddaughter to reach in cage & remove IV & take her out ourselves because they did not want to touch her. She was totally terrified. When I couldn't remove her they made us leave the room to get her in box, I thought they meant her carrier. When she began screaming I went through the door & vet forcibly blocked me & moved up on me forcing me back out & told me to keep the door shut. Came out later & said she was getting fluids. Then brought her out in her carrier laughing & vet said they had to give her "some gas". Then I remembered the box they had brought in before. Plastic clear lidded box with plastic tubing running in the sides. They actually put her in a gas chamber. At home she was disorients & running into things & did not come out from under effects of the gas until early next morning. Have had pets for over 40 years, have never seen such inhumane treatment anywhere. I'm filing complaint on this clinic. No one should ever go to this clinic, not ever. They actually place animals in a gas chamber for easy handling, & they don't tell you what they're going to do.Read Less

The Vets and staff here have taken very good care of my two girls, mini dachshunds for the past 8 mos. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable, the visits thorough and efficient. I know I can be a worries a lot pet parent and they always take me patiently in stride. :) Read Less

Dr Zile is kind and knowledgeable. He, his wife and staff are just wonderful in crisis situations. I have never been "encouraged" to do unnecessary testing unlike my previous Vet clinic. I went to Greenwood this morning hysterical after finding a lump on my Frenchies chest and blood in her urine. Not only was her care immediate and top notch but they also cared about ME. I expected a huge bill....Nope....under $200 for everything AND a nail trim. Under these circumstances SOME Veteranians will take advantage of a vulnerable scared fur parent and their wallet. Even though Greenwood is a 45 minute drive (on a good day) from my home I won't go anywhere else! Holly Eckstrand Read Less

Dr. Kafke is an incredible veterinarian. He has been careful and efficient throughout all of my visits. He has been understanding, honest and accurate in diagnosis with my dog when he easily could have taken advantage and charged me more than necessary. Wonderful vet and the staff is always polite and helpful. 100% recommend this place! Read Less

Very calm and inviting. The staff were pleasant, polite and calm. This is important to me because I have an excitable dog but we managed to have a great experience.The space is small but welcoming and homey. They are extremely tidy and efficient without being cold or standoffish in the least All in all a very pleasant experience and unlike other reviewers, I found them to be forward and upfront about the costs of all services provided. Nothing unexpected came up and they verified with me on several occasions exactly what services were being provided during the visit. Duke and I will be going back :) Read Less

I can not say enough good about these guys and gals. I have been coming here for 6 years and two different dogs. These people really care about me and my dog, how do I know for sure? Its the glow in their eyes and a big smile that gives them away when they say hello after not seeing you for a while, ( even when they are super busy ) they don't tell me I need tests that don't need to be done. With out Doctor Zile, and the affordable prices, I probably would not have rescued another after my last dog Bubba passed away. I could go on and on about the many good experiences I have had with everyone at Greenwood animal hospital, these people are genuine, caring good people, wish there were more like them in the world. they are like family to me.

I just had my fifteen yo cat put to sleep. I feel so blessed I found this place! My regular vets private cremation prices were way to high for me to afford so a friend called Greenwood Animal Hospital and found they were prices I could afford. They were so caring and compationate. There was no judgment or the push to do tests and treatments that obviously would only work for a week. They explained how the whole procedure would go and allowed me to take my time. When I was ready, they gave the sedation, let me take my time saying goodbye and only when I said okay did they start the euthanization. The vet was so compassionate he even stopped to give a soft pet on her head and say goodbye and god bless before he injected the shot, not even knowing my cat! After, they let me spend what time I needed with her and collected her blanket for take-home and even put some of her shaved fur in it for me to keep. These people have made the very hard decision and experience of putting my cat to sleep a more loving and caring memorie. Thank you Greenwood Animal Hospital! I will never forget the compassion and care you gave to both my cat Lilly and I!Read Less

My cat, Moxie, had to stay here for a week. I thought she was going to die but Greenwood Animal Hospital assured me they could save my cat. At the end of the week Moxie came home and had a speedy recovery. They are amazing and they actually care about their patients and the owners. I no longer live near the clinic but I won't take my cats anywhere else. I will drive from Monroe out to Seattle for the care Greenwood Animal Hospital provides. Thank you for saving my cat.

I have two expensive Scottish folds and did not want to take them anywhere. Luckily I live close to Greenwood Animal Hospital.
