The staff were so compassionate and understanding our grief. Another time, we had just adopted a kitty and she found my husband's fishing pole and got a hook in her mouth (catfish?

Please look into other veterinary options before bringing your pet here. This facility operates…read moreunder corporate/private equity ownership, and in my experience, the priority is extracting maximum revenue from pet owners in vulnerable, emotional situations rather than providing reasonable, compassionate care. Their billing practices are aggressive and egregious. For example, when an animal is hospitalized, you are not only billed for the medication itself, but they also charge an exorbitant dispensing fee, upwards of $50 or more each individual time a single pill is administered. These routine administrative markups accumulate rapidly and feel designed to take advantage of hospitalized pets whose owners have no choice but to rely on inpatient care. They also frequently over-bill and you need to go through each bill with a fine-tooth comb to ensure it is correct. It is quite obvious that there are internal leadership mandates to maximize billing. We went through the heartbreaking process of trying to treat my cat's lymphoma. In the end, despite spending over $20,000, the treatments were unsuccessful and we lost our cat. The financial strain made an already devastating ordeal so much more painful. In addition there were frequent unprofessional incidents with staff or doctors that required escalation. Escalation lead to zero results whatsoever. If your pet needs emergency or specialty care, consider alternatives like Timberline or independent, local practices that are not controlled by foreign conglomerates or private equity firms focused purely on profit margins.

The first on the list, Shoreline Veterinary Hospital. We called and despite being incredibly busy, at 9pm the Veterinarian called me back! She walked me through a plan, and asked me to arrive at 9:15 the next morning. She gave me an estimate to sign for the same very reasonable price as she stated on the phone. We dropped her off. The team was amazing, from the first moment we called, and all this while they were already working 200%! Every conversation was kind, respectful, and detailed. The Veterinaian called and updated me, and provided a pickup time. We arrived, paid her very reasonable bill which was less than the estimate, and the Veterinarian came in and explained everything. They booked us a followup, and provided care instructions. Long story short, this is Fantastic Veterinarian and a fantastic staff. Everything was perfect! We highly recommend this team to pet owners in the Northwest!

They have a tall soft spoken vet tech on staff who calmed her down quickly. Total cat whisperer- They re-registered their ID chips to their address, and demonstrated the use of Feliway spray on a towel to calm cats. They spotted an early thyroid issue with the oldest too And their prices were reasonable. I had called around and vets with openings for new clients are scarce in the Shoreline area. We moved here recently and were frustrated about our inability to find a vet with openings. They got us in in only a week!! Many other places were curt on the phone, too. I can 100% recommend this place.

STAY AWAY From Shoreline animal Hospital if you care about your pet…read more On their website, they say they will send vets to your house if you would like to do a home euthanasia and when I called, they said "we don't do that" and I said "it's on your website andyou should take it off", She ignored my comment Unfortunately, I still went ahead and made an appointment with them to have my Lucy put to sleep. I have had cats all my life and I held those that I had to put down. They were given one shot and they gently died. Not so at Shoreline Central Animal Hospital! They said they had to make an appointment to do a check up and I went along with that. When I had the cat there, they started pushing on her stomach and it put her in great pain. I finally made them quit and asked them why they were doing that and the vet seem to indicate that they wanted to see if they could save her. I had already told them that she was 18 years old and had end-stage kidney disease and cancer. Then she said we're going to give her a shot to make her sleepy and then we are going to give her IV to give her the medicine that will end her life. She didn't get very sleepy in the 15 minutes they gave me with her and then they took her out of the room to do the IV which told me that it was going to be painful. They had her back in their lab for at least 15 minutes and brought her back to me so that I could give them the OK to administer the medicine. They gave her three medicines: the first one to put her to sleep - - why didn't they do that with the first shot? Then they gave her one for pain -- if they had already put her to sleep why did she need one for pain? And finally one to end her life. it seemed crystal clear that they were prolonging the process by adding shots and exams to increase the price I had to pay. They not only put my cat through immense pain, it caused me great sorrow and emotional anguish. I have never ever made a complaint about any doctor or veterinarian before, but I don't want anyone to suffer like my poor cat Lucy and I did.

I brought my elderly dog in as an emergency patient days after relocating to the area with no prior appointments. They were able to fit us in immediately with Dr. Almendinger - and what an incredible doctor she is! Dr. Almendinger showed great compassion for my dog during the visit and gave me consistent positive regard throughout, answering all my questions and listening carefully to my concerns. I left with necessary prescriptions in hand, detailed instructions and a thoughtful follow-up care plan including booking follow up appointments. The clinic was upfront about all tests, procedures and costs and open to my ideas on treatment plan. Costs were the same or lower than what I've experienced at other local Seattle clinics (we have also lived in green lake and Fremont). Dr. Almendinger also went through my pet's records and identified some recurring themes that no other vet has picked up on. On request, she gave me a list of tests to consider to rule out certain conditions and make an improved treatment plan that she thought would improve my dog's overall health and quality of life in her golden years. The front desk staff was proactive about getting us scheduled for follow ups and provided me a copy of Dr. Almendinger's notes via email on request. There was plenty of parking out front and the waiting room was comfortable with areas to take pets who are shy or skittish to wait. I saw a few folks with cats doing this. They had a coffee station too which is a nice touch, though I didn't use it in any of my visits. Overall, I can honestly say my experiences here (after a handful of visits) have all been exceptional. This is a magical place with wonderful people. I highly recommend bringing your pets here for care even if you have to drive further to get here, this is truly the best clinic in Seattle.

UPDATE- Your response is completely false. I did not treat any member of your staff in a rude,…read moreracist, abusive, political, or otherwise inappropriate manner. I never made any political statement, racial comment, insult, or personal attack. Nor would I ever. I did absolutely nothing that could justify the accusations you have now publicly made about me. Your response appears to be an attempt to discredit me and put me on the defensive, rather than address the misconduct, or the harm, which is consistent with your previous unethical mistreatment of us. I came to your clinic as a new client seeking only routine care for my dog: preventatives and a fecal exam. From the moment Dr. Mohamed entered the room, she was abrupt, hostile, and repeatedly stated that she "did not understand" why I was there, despite my calmly explaining multiple times exactly what I needed. Then, without warning, without first trying to make my dog comfortable, and without any introduction to my dog whatsoever, Dr. Mohamed forcefully inserted the otoscope into my dog's ear hard enough that my dog yelped loudly in pain. I had never heard my dog cry out like that before. We had been to other vets before who checked her ears using this tool, without any issue. I witnessed how unfriendly and roughly she treated my very sweet submissive dog. What shocked me most was that Dr. Mohamed did not react at all. She did not stop, apologize, acknowledge my dog's pain, or show any concern whatsoever. Again, as my previous review which you replied to stated- to this day my pup will no longer let a vet touch her ears. Dr. Mohamed's handling of my dog fell far below an acceptable standard of care, and directly caused lasting trauma. Your response to hearing this report is once again shockingly unconcerned, and dismissive. No vet should ever roughly handle and harm a dog because they are for whatever reason bothered by the human. That behavior is entirely unethical and unacceptable. Again, as stated previously to which you responded- we have no idea what prompted this behavior on her part and that is really the most baffling component here. Because we are friendly, reasonable and professional people. I work in customer service. I was excited to meet what I thought would be our new vet! I was polite and respectful from the jump. NOTHING in my behavior was even remotely close to what you describe, even AFTER she harmed my baby. I did not yell or get aggressive. I simply asked immediately to end the interaction and speak to the manager. My only possible guess was that my shirt had an American Flag on it, and this was some kind of politically motivated retaliation. I cannot confirm this, but have no other explanation for what was seemingly a very personal attack from a total stranger. Again, I immediately told Dr. Mohamed in a calm manner that I was ending the appointment and requested to speak with the clinic manager. At that point, Dr. Mohamed abruptly changed her tone, apologized, and asked if I wanted to continue with the appointment after all. I declined and again requested to speak with a manager. Dr. Mohamed then left the room. I remained there for more than twenty minutes waiting to speak with someone. No one came. No one checked on me. No one asked what had happened. After waiting, I finally went to the front desk myself, at which point I was told to leave without ever being given the opportunity to explain my side of the situation. I was left in tears. The only person who showed any kindness or professionalism was a member of your front desk staff, who came to me in the parking lot w/ tissues and apologized. Her practiced manner in this strongly suggested that this type of incident is not unusual there. You have now publicly accused me of being "abrasive, rude, racist, and abusive." Those statements are false. I unequivocally deny them. I will not allow false accusations to be used to deflect from what occurred. I will not accept being falsely maligned in order to protect your staff from criticism. I stand fully by my account of what occurred. I did absolutely ZERO to deserve the way Dr Mohamed treated me or my dog. In fact, there exists no possible justification for the rough way she was handled, nor the lasting pain Dr Mohamed's misconduct caused. Both of these are points which you have, yet again, completely neglected to address. I further object to your implication that, because I posted this review years later, my experience is somehow less valid. It took me years to feel removed enough to seek any justice here. As clinic manager it's your duty to ensure correct conduct by staff. You never even gave me an audience, and conducted no investigation. You neglected your duties, and as a result have not obtained the truth. I am formally demanding that you retract the false statements you made about my conduct within 14 days. If you do not, be aware that I am preserving your response and all related communications for further action.

We just moved to the area a few months ago, and this clinic alone made the move entirely worth it…read more We got off the waitlist after about a month, and it was soooo worth the wait. Our cat is medically complex - only 9 years old, but diagnosed with pancreatitis, diabetes, asthma, and hyperthyroidism. Also, notorious for bad behavior at her previous vet's office. I loved our previous vet and they helped me through some the hardest days of our cat's life, but Cats Exclusive is equipped to support my cat in ways my previous vet was not. Going to a clinic that focuses solely on cats means that there is a level of expertise and consideration that just doesn't exist at other clinics. There are no dogs around and they clearly take measures to make sure the cats see/smell each other as little as possible, which goes a long way to assuage our cat's anxiety. Everyone there is confident and gentle in handling our cat, and she's responded by exhibiting the best behavior we've ever seen from her in a vet's office. At our first appointment, the vet caught a dental issue that had previously gone completely unnoticed. At our second appointment, I got to talk to one of the vets who works in the hyperthyroid clinic, which was super helpful since we're considering the radioiodine treatment for our cat. Communication is always stellar (both by email and by phone). They are pricey, but worth every single penny (and no one has tried to upsell me on anything). Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the clinic our cat needs and deserves.
