We've been taking our dog here for the last 5 years and have nothing but great things to say about…read morethem. They have always been able to get our dog in same day for urgent issues and non urgent issues alike. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. We recently needed proof that our dog was spayed they actually shaved her to check for her spay mark and wrote us up a letter stating she was for free which we super appreciated. I do think that the Dr.'s might over prescribe a bit however, we have never ever felt pressured to get certain, tests or medications. They leave us with their suggestions and recommendations and that's that. They are a bit pricey but considering it's Ballard and they are not a chain type this is to be expected. We don't mind paying extra exceptional service.

"Dr Bob" Vanderpol breeds dogs and cats at home and sells them through his office. We bought an…read moreAbyssinian kitten from Dr Vanderpol that died only a few days after his one-year birthday; we spent three thousand dollars fighting for our kittens life against an anemic disorder. Had I researched buying purebred cats before visiting the Animal Hospital I would have realized that Dr Bob was selling at $200 below the normal price for an aby. I learned the hard way not to buy pure breeds listed in newspaper ads, I should have gone to cat shows and talked with accredited breeders. Don't support kitten/puppy mills. A friend of ours owns another kitten from the same litter, who after surgery (and a cost of over $1000) to remove a growth in his nasal passage (that was causing severe breathing problems) appears to be healthy. We later discovered that Dr Vanderpol has a reputation for bad breeding when we started talking to other breeders. His office was noticeably cold, and odorous at opening. He applied a flea treatment too low on our cat's neck, which resulted in our cat vomiting. The other cat we bought from him is healthy, though it should be noted that she is not a pedigree and wasn't likely bred for sale.

I had high hopes for Ray but will not be using him again. I provided him with notes regarding my…read morecat's care and resources. I set out all my plants that needed water on the main kitchen counter, along with a bottle to water them. I have smart devices and a few strategically placed indoor cameras (about which I made him aware), and when I was notified that the water level on the fountain was low I messaged him and asked him to refill it. He refilled it, but put it back on the stand and didn't even check to see if it was working. It wasn't. I was in a different country with a significant time change, so when I next checked my device notifications and camera I discovered my cat had no source of water. I contacted him immediately to make him aware of the issue, but as his visits were typically later in the day I reached out to a neighbor and asked them to go over and provide a bowl of water for my cat in the meantime. Thankfully she did, and she indicated my cat was very thirsty. Despite providing directions about the fountains and some additional prompting, Ray was unable to figure out how to work the fountain. I asked him to ensure that he left out a bowl of water for the cat, which he did. I have no idea if he actually saw the cat, or if he had any level of interaction with her on his visits. I didn't specifically ask him for this info or pictures prior to using him, but as all other cat sitters I had previously used did so without prompting, I (mistakenly) expected this. He also failed to water my plants and two of them died. This was minimal compared to leaving my cat without water, and not knowing whether or not he even saw her (other than one time he mentioned she came out to see him on one of his visits).

Under his care, my cat died…read more I'll never go into details about how my cat passed because no one should/needs to have that knowledge. However, it was due to Ray not physically getting his eyeballs on the cats every single day. Cats aren't house plants. You have to make sure they're not up to something. You don't just feed and water and leave. Especially when the cat mom leaves SEVEN PAGES of instructions on how they needed to be separated while they ate so that one could take his pill and if he didn't then you could use the pill popper provided to put it down his throat. But that's not what happened. I guess my notes were taken as suggestions. On the last day when the vet thinks he passed, I received a text from him saying: "Dear (me), Another uneventful visit. Your children are going to be so happy that you're back home. Left your FOB on the kitchen counter. - Ray." Nowhere in that text does it say I couldn't find them so I just left. I don't really know what else I can do at this point other than warn other pet owners. Yes, I know he didn't mean to have this happen but it did. And I think when it comes to your pets life so you shouldn't take any risks. This shouldn't have to happen to any other pet owner out there. I'm notifying all the organizations that he lists on his website too. He did refund fully and returned my key. He was also an incredibly nice person. That aside, nothing will bring my cat back but I pray this doesn't happen with anyone else.

I have a 1 year old 75lb Labrador retriever who is nervous around medium-large dogs. For months, we…read morebrought her to dog parks only to come home feeling dejected because Luna would bark at, and boycott certain dogs (even 5 month old puppies). We wanted to nip this medium/large dog "trauma" out of Luna's system, so she can feel safe and enjoy the company of other dogs. When we came to julya with this issue, (in the midst of a last minute trip) julya was assuring and patient. She had given Luna a slow introduction to the rest of the pack and allowed Luna to process the surrounding changes at her pace. After 3 nights with Julya, Luna came home and slept for a whole day. She was happy and tired as could be (which is always a great sign). However, the more amazing thing is the changes in her at the dog park. I could see her hesitation at first but by the second time we brought her to the dog park, she was playing with labradors, pitbulls, Great Danes and chihuahuas alike. If you're having the same issue with your dog, or if your dog has gone through an incident like mine, meeting the right people & pack does wonders.
