See open rolesThere's nothing else like this in Seattle — and there never has been.
Nine decades of neighbors trusting us with the animals they love. Our hospitals aren't a chain — they're landmarks. The clinic your grandparents brought their first dog to is still here, still independently owned, still answering the phone.
No corporate office decides how we practice medicine. The people who own these hospitals are the veterinarians standing in the exam room — and that changes everything. We do this work from the heart, for the creatures, out of pure love for the animals and the people who bring them in. It's why families stay with us for generations, and why a visit here feels less like an appointment and more like coming home.

What forms of payment do you accept?+
Our hospitals require payment at the time of service. We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
