Bird Rock Animal Hospital

I brought my cat in for a suture removal appointment after her surgery in Texas. When I made the appointment, they never asked about medications, explained the procedure, or told me to give her gabapentin beforehand. I didn’t give it because I wasn’t sure if it was safe right before the procedure, but she was visibly anxious. They kept telling me "you should’ve given her gabapentin before arriving" like it was obvious, but it was never mentioned at all. The vet was only able to check her heart and remove some of the stitches ; not all of them. I paid $85 for the partial visit, which was okay, but then they said I’d need to come back in two days to finish the removal. That visit would cost another $100 ($55 for the doctor’s time + $45 for "patching"), plus a follow-up two weeks later for another $85. The staff was friendly, but I felt the pricing was high and the service wasn’t very competent for such a simple procedure. I do not recommend Bird Rock Animal Hospital, especially if you’re on a budget. The cherry on top was the receptionist saying, "Oh, I didn’t charge you for the patching today, just the visit!" like it was a big favor.

We cannot recommend this office enough!! Every single staff member goes above and beyond with kindness and empathy. We’ve been coming to them for years and as long as we have the option, it will be them forever!! The vets are so knowledgeable in such a large scope that we haven’t needed any specialists so far! And we only have special needs pets. They are so up front with pricing and they really do everything in their power to keep costs down as much as reasonably possible. We truly only have positive things to say about this office and every staff member. Please bring your pets here, they will be so loved!!

I called this vet with a medical emergency for my dog while I was visiting from out of town and they squeezed us in 30 minutes later. By the time we arrived she was miraculously better so we don’t actually need to go through with the appointment. They were so kind and understanding and even let me take my dog for a walk around the block before making a decision on whether we should proceed with the appointment or not. They had also proactively called my vet in Seattle to have our records transferred. The woman we spoke with seemed very knowledgeable, and if we need vet care again while we are in town I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this vet.

Really great place to take your loved pets for check ups. Family owned and they make you feel cared for unlike other places. I brought my 9 year old golden retriever in to get a second opinion from another vet saying its an eye infection, to come find out it was something way deeper which they caught. Very sad news but Im glad they were the ones to tell me :(. Highly recommend

I've been taking my Golden Retriever here since he was a puppy. Ever since our first visit, I've been very pleased with this practice. Everyone in the office is pleasant to interact with and wonderful about patient education. I appreciate being given different options to choose from when it comes to treatment plans (when applicable). My dog is especially fond of Emily, and although he occasionally gets nervous in the office, he brightens up when he gets to see her. I would be happy to recommended this animal hospital to anyone.

Really enjoyed bringing my dog today for his 3 year-thimerosal-free rabies vaccine. And I think he enjoyed his visit too, with all the treats and pets 🙂 Very friendly and helpful staff both on the phone and in-person! Dr. Lisa was also great! She is very knowledgeable and gave useful recommendations that we will implement. I'd highly recommend Bird Rock and Dr. Lisa if you are looking for a more natural approach to your pet's health.

I had a very good experience. My cat needed treatment and they were able to get her in quickly. They were so attentive and informative. I learned so much for the brief time that I was there. My kitty is 3 and she's always had trouble keeping food down. I mentioned it to the vet, even though I was there for something different. She explained what was most likely causing the tummy issues, and then recommended different food for her. My cat hasn't thrown up in weeks and is so much happier. I highly recommend.
