VCA West Seattle Veterinary Hospital

All around fantastic experience from front desk to vet tech and my new favorite vet. I was offered financial options, and some very thoughtful personal advice, as well. Absolutely recommend!

I think they are good, really nice people but the puppy care plan is too much money. For one year I put out $1,630.80. Thats a lot more than fixing shots and other appointments. I definitely wouldn't recommend it. Just pay for the fixing visits and shots. The puppy care program is $135.90 a month. In this economy dont do it! They treat my puppy great. That puppy care price is outrageous!

I had a very mixed experience at VCA West Seattle. The veterinarian was kind, but the overall visit was extremely stressful and unprofessional. A staff member spoke to me in a condescending manner about not having a "proper" pet carrier and insisted my cat needed to be restrained, even though she was already safely secured in a pet pouch with a clip. My cat was not in danger at any point. I was then repeatedly asked to provide pet records, which I had already attempted to send. I was never given an email address, and the text system they used did not allow attachments, all while I was at work. The technician spoke very loudly throughout the interaction, which significantly heightened my anxiety. I felt talked down to and dismissed. When I calmly stated that some of what was being said was not accurate, the manager entered and told me I was being rude instead of addressing the behavior of the staff member. After leaving the room, the technician rolled her eyes in a mocking manner to colleagues outside the glass door, which was clearly visible to me. This felt unnecessary, disrespectful, and unprofessional. I am a loving and responsible pet owner who is new to the city and simply looking for a safe, respectful place to bring my pets. Unfortunately, this experience made me feel judged and unwelcome.

I think my experience with VCA of West Seattle was overall very good despite the annual exam being so short and not very thorough. I don’t feel comfortable with them taking the dog away while doing vaccines and blood draw, I was used to having it all done in-front of me at Renton West when we used to live in Renton. All the techs are super friendly and the receptionist was also Very friendly and greeted us upon check in. The doctor pointed out something that wasn’t noticed by me and followed up with me via a phone call. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the outrageous price for the annual exam(I think that the first time we were there last year it was around $70 but we had a free first annual exam as new patients). We paid $120 for an annual exam that was considerably very quick, the doctor checked his eyes, teeth and heartbeat but no temp taken, and I did not see any exam of the body as far as checking for wounds, checking paws and checking for fleas. The annual exam took somewhere between 10 to 15 minutes. Probably closer to 10. Thumbs up for having a same day appointment which iykyk, it never happens.

would give 0 stars if i could. they care club pet insurance is a scam, and their practices are out dated. they gave both of my cats medication that they had a bad reaction to and at the emergency vet, the doctor was surprised that quote "any vet clinic in a first world country uses this medication still". started going to a different clinic and asked for a second opinion on issues i talked about with the vet here. long story short VCA was telling me that my cats abnormal breathing was nothing to be worried about when that couldn’t be further from the truth. if you care about your animals in any capacity do not bring them here.

My family of critters love VCA and all the great staff! Dr Wick and Dr Apicella are fantastic and treat my gremlin of a dog, Duke, with so much care, even when he consistently makes a mess on their floor. Our kitty, Rex, is not a fan of being away from home but they are always so gentle and sweet with him, and the receptionists always fawn over how big and lanky he is. Their prices might be higher than other vets in the area but it's definitely worth it considering the level of care and comfort our pets receive when we come in for a visit. Can't go wrong with VCA!

I hope I never move because I never want to take my dog anywhere else. They’re the best. So thorough, so gentle, so thoughtful. They talk you through everything step by step. They ALWAYS answer the phone and any "hold" is super short. When they’re closed or booked, they recommend urgent and emergency care centers nearby. When I have questions and concerns regarding my dog, something she did, ate, etc. they walk me through everything on the phone for free. Literally the best vet I’ve ever been to. Ziggy agrees! 🐶
