Vca West Seattle Veterinary Hospital

I dropped off a missing cat flyer here and the woman at the front desk insisted I put my cat’s litter box outside even though he hasn’t used it for over a year. Harold made his way home that night after being gone for four days. Thanks so much to VCA for the tip! Read Less

I love coming here! We've been visiting since our puppy was 4 weeks old and I haven't been disappointed at all. The receptionist are warm and welcoming, vet techs are the same, and Dr. Bose has been perfect with our pup. 10/10 Read Less

They are like family to us. Kona doesn't mind going there and they always welcome him and treat him like a spoiled puppy dog...which he is. Love the folks who work there. 12/26/17 Update: They even had Santa come in for pet pictures. That are awesome! Read Less

My dog cut his tongue on a pair of scissors around dinner time, and as I was panicked trying to drive and call our usual vet, who was closing, we passed VCA. They were incredibly helpful and saw our dog almost immediately, treating him like family. They even called to follow up on how he was doing a few days later! Read Less

The entire team at VCA took such good care of me. I was rescued in April 2016 in Denton TX by Emerald City Pet Rescue. I stayed in TX until August while I waited for the next transport to bring me to Seattle. When I got here they discovered I had a moderate case of heartworm so I was sent to VCA where I stayed during the 2 months of treatment. In September I was adopted by this nice lady who was looking for a new fur baby. After I was adopted we discovered that I needed a few more visits to VCA to make sure I was heartworm free. Over the past few months we made the drive from Everett to West Seattle for overnight stays, treatments and blood draws, and finally for my spay. The spay was a major event because I could not have it done until the heartworm was all gone. Each time we went to VCA they treated my like family which made my new person very happy. Last Thursday was my spay and my last visit to VCA, and when we left all of the people who worked there said their goodbyes. This made my new person cry because she was so glad that they took such good care of me before we met. So VCA, from me and my new person we thank you so much for your love and care before and after my adoption. Hugs and kisses from your friend Bayou. Read Less

Dr. Kent saved my dogs life. Pure and simple. She was hit by a car and if it was not for a friend recommendation to VCA West Seattle Veterinary Hospital, my dog would not be living to the ripe age of 16 (as she is now). Dr. Kent and staff have given us superior care for almost a decade. I cannot imagine better. Read Less

I am not sure why there are so many negative comments. I absolutely love this place. Everyone is so kind and my dog has been sick for quiet awhile so the staff here are always calling to get an update and are always helping me find a way to better help him. Read Less

We have taken our dogs to VCA/ West Seattle for the last 8-9 years. We have always had very postive experience, both in the care of the dogs as well as in customer service. I am shocked to see the negative reviews. Recently, we took our dog in to check for hip pain. Instead of ordering CT scans or X rays, the vet spent considerable time watching our dog running (on leash in the almost empty parking lot), climbing steps etc and came up with a conservative plan for care. I will certainly continue to go there. Read Less

UPDATE: My Vet at South Seattle Vet Hospital ran blood tests and found My Husky was suffering from pancreatitis! Mystery solved. Why couldn't VCA just drop the authoritative/bureaucratic act and just given my dog some care? Original Story: My 4 year old Husky has been acting "cranky". One day she bit a dog at the Wescrest dog park, and the next morning bit my son in the face as my son was laying on top of her. I wanted to check if there were underling medical reasons or pain that contributed to the sudden aggression before I considered euthanasia. I walked in with no appointment, Every other vet I've ever gone to always operated this way and figured given the circumstances, they might squeeze me in. The two vets were "out for lunch" but when I told them why I was there, the receptionist told me "I'll be right back." The female Vet, (forgot the name) that I had never met before, came up and shook my hand, asked me to come into the exam room where we could talk privately. She had nothing helpful to say, but instead started getting all bureaucratic on me telling me I better take my son to the Dr and call animal control, ON MY OWN DOG!!!! I was dumbfounded! The conversation deteriorated and turned into a debate about whether or not yearly booster vaccinations are necessary, and I eventually said "You know? I'm feeling uncomfortable so I'm going to go to another vet." I thanked her for her time and left. Well guess what she goes and does next? She calls Animal Control!!! I'm having to deal with Animal Control now. On my voice-mail this morning, the officer working on my case received a fax from the Department of Health with a statement saying something about how "I don't believe in the vaccination." EXCUSE ME? This is ludicrous and unfounded!!! I'm not positive, but possibly DEFAMATORY!!! As a result, my Husky is on a 10 day rabies quarantine. I can't even take her to the vet to check for an underling medical condition that might make a formerly sweet dog, mean. I've raised my two babies with this dog. The bite wasn't even substantial. A couple scrapes under his eyes and that's about it. The teeth never broke through ALL the layers of the skin. My 8 week old Puppy (who is now 4mo old and up to date on his vaccinations) has done more damage!!! It left red marks, but not an ounce on blood was dropped. Certainly nothing I would take my kids to the Doctor for. I'm not even sure if her report to Animal Control was called for. I feel my privacy has been unjustifiably violated. I wouldn't trust going back to that Vet. I caution others to avoid VCA in West Seattle, UNLESS you LOVE having Big Brother in your life. Seriously? Who would call Animal Control on their own, vaccinated, dog? Read Less
