NoodleZ on the mend after being sick
Anne S.

My dog NoodleZ had to be hospitalised due to severe Gastroenteritis and Giardia, and I couldn't have asked for more. They cured her illness and did an amazing job. I'm so pleased at how much they helped her get back to her full health. Highly recommended and a big thank you to everyone at Timberline!

Not all emergency vets are equal. Great experience at Timberline with our sick dog. Service was excellent and compassionate from the reception, tech, and Dr. Bailey who saw Juneau. Bailey did a thorough exam and offered a different explanation for symptoms then we received. We will have to wait on test results, but I highly recommend the clinic. The clinic is clean, the waiting room comfortable, easy to access bathroom (took my dog in with me), and free coffee and hot chocolate.

On the eve of Christmas Eve (known as Christmas Adam to some hah) our cat had a very dramatic incident of somehow imbedding her claws into her pads. Likely from being elderly and not having her claws trimmed the last vet visit. We called our usual vet and they sent us to Timberline. Our experience was far better than I ever expected at an emergency vet. Surprisingly she was moved quickly into triage. In triage the techs were able to get my cat's claws removed from her pads, trimmed her remaining claws and got her cleaned up. I didn't even hear a peep from her! Within minutes she was returned to me, comfortable, cleaned up and calm in her carrier. The male vet tech didn't make me feel judged in anyway even when I was judging myself for letting it happen. In fact when I went to pay my tab I was informed there was going to be no charge since it was just a triage visit. I cried in the car all the way home. The kindness and compassion really hit me in the heart. It's been a hard year for a lot of us. So especially in the spirit of the season, businesses like Timberline really are in it for the love of animals. In fact I can even vouch that the staff spoke kindly and compassionate about the patients even when we didn't know we were listening. Hopefully we won't have a need to come back soon, but I know if we have an urgent pet need this is where we will be going!

I can't say enough good things about this emergency vet clinic. From the moment I walked in, the staff treated me with professionalism, and genuine concern during an incredibly stressful time. The veterinarian clearly explained what was happening, went over all treatment options, and patiently answered my questions. They really went the extra mile to help- one of the workers helped me get back to my car because my hands were super full and gave me a pet carrier for the way home. $220 was the exam cost was a little on the higher end, but I'm so grateful for the exceptional service and HIGHLY recommend this clinic to anyone facing a pet emergency. Even though the clinic was super super busy my pet received expert care, and I felt confident I was in the best possible hands.

This picture of my 13-yr-old kitty, Malcolm, would not exist if the incredible doctors, vet technicians, and clinical staff at Timberline hadn't literally saved his life over the past several days. I am so thankful for the expertise, skill, tenacity, and almost overwhelming kindness we were shown by absolutely everyone at Timberline - in particular, Dr. Davidow and Dr. Waldrop were both very willing to walk me through exactly what was going on at any given stage of Malcolm's treatment (when they had a second to breathe between rounds), Josh was always very kind to accommodate my frequent check-ins/visits (I'm sorry if Malcolm got you at any point when he started feeling better, Josh!), and I will always be so, so grateful for Dawn and Tangie truly saving the day. The two of you in particular gave me more time with him than I would have had otherwise. I genuinely cannot recommend Timberline highly enough to anyone finding themselves and their pets in a health crisis/emergency situation.

It might seem strange to give five stars when my pet died here, but hear me out. (Warning - this review contains upsetting content.) I brought my old and sick cat in on a Saturday morning knowing what was wrong and what procedure she needed. I was either in denial or just very hopeful she would pull through. The staff was warm and listened well as I explained the situation, and they told us what we could expect. Things did not turn out as I had hoped. They grabbed the phone right away and I was back there just in time to say goodbye. I appreciate that although I had signed a DNR, they got me with her ASAP to communicate what was happening in real time and to make the final decision. It was honestly the worst moment of my life -- she had been my best friend for over 15 years -- and they knew just what to do. They wrapped her in a fuzzy pink blanket, carefully handed her to me, and led us to a room with a couch and a window with the sun peeking in and told us to take the time we needed. The doctor came in and explained what had happened, and it was all very understandable and unavoidable. In such moments you feel so incredibly lost. We were given more time to be alone with our girl and to grieve and told to push a button when we were ready to discuss next steps. They gave us easy options, and I chose to take her home, so they packed her up and told me how to care for her until we could get her in at Resting Waters. For such a horrific experience, they handled it with care, and I have full confidence they did everything they could with what they had. She was very sick. It was best that she was sedated and in the care of competent and gentle people when she went. A few days later, I received a hand-written card from them. It was so incredibly sweet. I have it up on her cat tree with candles and little flowers and her collar. That meant the world to me after a week of sobbing. Thank you, Timberline, for giving my sweet girl (and her family) such tender care. In memory of Shooben, 2009-2025

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.

The most regretful decision I've ever made…read more Failure in care with devastating consequences. My cat Cubic was diagnosed with CKD at this clinic, but the doctor failed to recommend ultrasound imaging- she only said it was optional. She also responded inadequately to continuously worsening bloodwork and urine results. No one suggested further testing despite months of significant deterioration. The doctor was only in the clinic 1-2 days per week and always busy, making it nearly impossible to communicate directly with her. When my cat stopped eating for days, an assistant actually discouraged me from completing another blood test, saying 'your doctor said once every 6 months should be enough.' Two days after they told me his latest lab work showed 'some progressing but nothing too bad,' I brought him to the ER. They found 3-4 LARGE tumors in his stomach with just a physical examination- they didn't even need ultrasound imaging to detect them. My baby died from late-stage lymphoma three days later. We are completely heartbroken. Timely imaging and proactive follow-up on abnormal results could have completely changed the outcome.

I might be biased because I used to work here but there's a reason I go out of my way to continue…read moreto bring my own fur babies here and always recommend this hospital to friends and families looking for a veterinarian in the area. I saw first hand, behind the scenes, every day the level of care, compassion, expertise, attention to detail and passion that each and every team member has for the patients they see every day. Everyone strives to create the best experience they could possibly provide for each and every patient depending on their own particular needs. Their medical director is on top of new innovations within the veterinary field and always looking for new ways to provide a better experience, ongoing care and preventative care for patients. Dr. Taylor and Dr. Zaragoza are INCREDIBLE doctors! Many team members at the clinic put in the extra work for continued education within the field including fear free techniques. And we were always so proud to see wagging tails and happy faces from patients when visiting the clinic. Our 2 year old kitty Huey loves the clinic and the staff. And our roommates senior kitty Sophie, who was struggling with being overweight and arthritic at her old age is now THRIVING on a combination of Solensia and the Royal Canin Feline Senior diet. Her skin used to be flakey and oily because she couldn't clean herself, she was visibly struggling and in pain due to her arthritis, couldn't get up on the couch to snuggle with her favorite people and overweight. She's now cleaning herself, her skin and coat are much cleaner and healthier, she's lost some weight, has more energy and is even playing with toys again. She can get up on the couch all on her own now and loves joining in on adventures with our baby boy Huey. We can't thank the team enough! From the flawless check in and check out, follow ups, easy access to online pharmacy and having the option of prescriptions being sent to our front door, to the individualized care that meet our particular wants and needs as pet parents to provide the best level of care for our pets. Thank you Cascade Pet Hospital team!

I called Cascade Pet Hospital specifically to schedule cherry eye surgery for my dog. On the phone…read moreI was told they could not schedule surgery without an exam first, and I booked the earliest appointment based on the impression that the clinic could perform the procedure after evaluation. At the visit, I was told Cascade does not have a veterinary ophthalmologist and that I would need to see an ophthalmology specialist for surgical repair. I was charged $111 for the exam, but the outcome was essentially a referral that could have been made clear before I came in. I'm also concerned about the guidance I received: I was told there was a "50/50 chance" surgery wouldn't work, yet board-level ophthalmology resources commonly cite higher success rates for gland replacement/repositioning (often called a "pocket" technique) and describe recurrence as a known possibility--not a coin flip. For example, Colorado State's veterinary ophthalmology service lists 85-90% success for cherry eye repair, and VCA notes ~5-20% risk of re-prolapse requiring additional surgery. My main concern: The hospital was NOT transparent on the phone about whether they can actually perform cherry eye surgery in-house (especially if it requires a specialist). If I had known the expected outcome is referral to ophthalmology, I would have avoided unnecessary exam fees and go directly to the right provider.

My old cat Jonesy has bad teeth (we brush and add a dental supplement to his water everyday), so we brought him here for a check-up. After some blood work the doctor found out he had renal failure as well. He stayed overnight at their clinic, had some more tests done, then had his teeth cleaned the next day. The staff here are very skilled and know what they're talking about. They obviously don't try to push products on you to make themselves more money. I think this is why Jonesy's overnight and treatment came to be so reasonably priced. I hope they are around for a long time, as I feel I've finally found a vet clinic good enough to replace Cat Clinic that closed down a few years ago.

Would not recommend. I tried to schedule an appointment for my chinchilla (a previous patient) but…read morethey don't return calls or emails, apparently. My chinchilla ultimately had to be euthanized at another vet for cancer, which obviously isn't Allpets' fault, but perhaps if they would return calls we could have diagnosed her sooner and she could have suffered less. They are also extremely inconsiderate of owners' time and will happily make you wait hours to pick up your pet or a medication. They are clearly understaffed, yet as an exotic animal vet also clearly have a clientele. Not really sure why that doesn't translate to hiring staff. Are the working conditions as bad as the client conditions? That's kind of the only explanation that makes sense. Avoid.
