More prep, the staff was excellent with the dog and informing us what they were doing.
Jim C.

Stella ended up with a painful aural hematoma that was quite painful. We were greeted quickly and Stella was triaged and we were given a good overview of their process and what to expect. The staff was excellent and super good with Stella and us. We were informed at every step of their process and what the next steps were. The open floor concept was really different. We were able to watch them perform the drainage procedure on Stella and was explained everything that they were doing. In the end we have a dog that in on the mend and a super experience.

Brought our family cat in after she birthed her kittens and seemed unwell, they were SO attentive, very quick to respond and check her. Very friendly and more affordable than I expected. Very upfront about costs and finding treatment plans etc Very clean and professional

My precious Mocha
David F.

I'm grateful to the staff and Dr Daney at VEG for helping save the life of our precious little tortie Mocha. She was very sick and vomiting a lot when I took her in last month at about 5am on a Saturday morning. I was extremely worried for Mocha, but the staff and Dr quickly assessed her and made sure she was stable. The doctor even prepared a coffee for me as I had run out of the house so quickly I didn't have any that morning. The news I received was very bad and Dr Daney had great compassion and gave me useful information and options. Surgery was likely needed and the cost through VEG was VERY high. I was given some other options for surgery and they medicated and hydrated Mocha to help her with her symptoms and I was given care instructions. I'm happy to report that surgery was NOT needed and Mocha is back to her silly old self now. I'm convinced though the quick care she received from VEG saved her life. My only concern with my visit is the very high cost which was $948. I understand I'm paying for the an emergency service, but it still seems high. I'm still grateful and I won't hesitate to go to them again or recommend them for emergency services for your furry loved one.

Healthy kitten minutes after getting home from VEG
Taylor K.

Had to bring my cat in for an enema and I can't thank the woman here enough for everything they did. My anxiety was relieved watching them all communicate and offer eachother assistance. Was genuinely impressed watching them around me. My kitten is home and no longer in pain thanks to them.

Even though facing a difficult time knowing we were about to lose our precious cat companion, the level of professional care provided by each individual made this process bearable. Having each step explained in detail was greatly appreciated.

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?

While I appreciate the medical treatment provided, I was disappointed with the communication and coordination of care. After discharge, we received no follow-up call. I had to contact AMCS for pending urine culture results and follow up again to clarify whether prescribed antibiotics should be continued. During hospitalization, we were told Internal Medicine would be consulted, but I never received clear confirmation of whether that occurred or what recommendations were made. During a subsequent hospitalization elsewhere, we learned about an additional treatment option that an AMCS veterinarian reportedly indicated could have been considered earlier, but it had not been discussed with us. I recognize that emergency veterinary care is complex. However, I expected better communication, transparency, and continuity of care from a specialty hospital. I aslo shared more detailed feedback directly with AMCS management in the hope that these concerns will help improve their practices for future clients.

I took my 8 year old Bernese Mountain Dog to the Seattle VEG clinic. She was not eating and…read morelethargic. I was concerned that this might be an end-of-life issue. We've had three Berners and know they have a short life span. The team of people at the Seattle VEG clinic were terrific. They performed many clinical tests including ultrasound and x-ray imaging. Unfortunately, the results confirmed my concerns. She had advanced cancer in multiple organs. I took her home from VEG and made arrangements to have her put down the next day at another clinic recommended by the VEG team. While the outcome was sad, the people at VEG were very competent and provided a clear plan of action for me.

I want to preface this by stating that our visit was EXPENSIVE--and I did expect a big bill for an…read moreER visit for my dog... but I just want to be up front about the fact that it was expensive. But the care was amazing. My dog and I took a trip to VEG earlier this week after she started vomiting in the early hours of the morning, and then by the mid-afternoon was vomiting blood clots. We called our normal vet, and they couldn't get us in--so they advised I take her down to VEG. There was some construction doing on during our visit, but they managed it really well. There were some areas that were a little cramped and awkward, but they handled it like champs, and it was still clean and organized. From the moment we walked in, the staff were calm and kind (in a moment where I needed some calm and kindness). I was super scared and struggling to speak coherently, but they calmly asked all the questions and reassured me I was doing the right thing. My dog can be SPICY with strangers, and especially men. I let them know this when we walked in, and I had brought our muzzle (which they thanked me for). There was only one male staff member present while we were there, but they swapped him for a female staff member, and he kept his distance. With the exception of X-rays, they did the WHOLE appointment with my dog sitting by my side, her head in my lap. (And even during X-rays, I could've watched through the window... but I just really needed to pee so I didn't... and the restroom was clean ) They did bloodwork, an ultrasound, and some other evaluation/tests all with her head in my lap, and me holding her still before she was sedated. They were kind, calm, and explained everything as we went. When I expressed concern over her breathing pattern after sedation, they hooked her up to a heart monitor. The whole appointment happened on a couch in a common area, and it felt safe and comfortable the whole time. They walked me through test results, the meds we went home with, and next steps and things to watch for. All-in-all, we were there for about 4 hours--and they managed me and my fear/anxiety just as well as they managed the situation with my dog. They even offered something to drink and a snack. If my dog has another emergency, I won't hesitate to go back.

The doctor did an ultrasound which showed many tumors on her liver and one burst. It was an inoperable situation and she was dying. They allowed us to take her home to pass in our presence. When she did pass, we took her back for cremation. This was so sudden and unexpected, but the staff and doctor were beyond amazing with their compassion, concern, care and respect. I just cannot say enough about how special these folks are. We weren't in the lobby area that long, but enough to see that it is VERY nice and clean with coffee and snacks available and well spaced out couches and chairs.

We had a very disappointing experience with the Oncology department at Timberline…read more Our Golden Retriever, Vanille, recently completed radiation therapy for a peripheral nerve sheath tumor and today was scheduled for a follow-up appointment. Although Timberline is more than 30 minutes from our home, we chose to continue her oncology care there because we trusted Dr. Lyons. There are several oncology specialists much closer to us, but we believed the extra drive was worth it for the continuity of care. While we were on our way, the clinic called to let us know that we were already 10 minutes late. I explained that we were only 2-3 minutes away. I also explained that when I scheduled the appointment by phone, I had been told the appointment time was 2:45 PM, which was the time I had planned around. I was then told that because another consultation was scheduled after ours, Vanille could not be seen and we would need to reschedule. After checking my confirmation email later, I noticed it listed the appointment as 2:30 PM. I don't know how that discrepancy occurred, but that was not the appointment time I was given over the phone when I scheduled the visit. What disappointed me most was not the scheduling issue itself--it was the complete lack of flexibility and compassion for a cancer patient. I fully understand that clinics have schedules to maintain and that policies exist for a reason. However, Vanille had only recently completed radiation therapy and was still recovering from a serious hospitalization related to her treatment. Every trip is physically demanding for her. I wasn't asking anyone else's appointment to be delayed or expecting a full consultation if the schedule didn't allow it. Even if it was only possible to spend 10-15 minutes with the doctor, that would have been far more meaningful than simply turning us away after we had driven over 30 minutes and were only a couple of minutes from arriving. Instead, after a brief hold, we were simply told "sorry" and that we would have to reschedule. We were offered an appointment the next day, but that wasn't a practical solution. Rearranging work and making another long round trip with a recovering cancer patient is not something that can easily be done. Medical expertise is obviously important, but compassion, communication, and reasonable flexibility are equally important in specialty oncology. Unfortunately, today's experience significantly changed our confidence in continuing Vanille's care at Timberline, and we have decided to transfer her oncology care elsewhere. I hope this feedback encourages the clinic to consider handling situations like this with more compassion in the future, especially for patients undergoing cancer treatment. I also want to be clear that this review is not a reflection of Dr. Lyons' medical expertise. Our decision was based entirely on how today's situation was handled by the clinic.

Based on that experience, I expected the same level of organization, communication, and care. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. I visited twice within the same week with my dog and fully understood that the hospital was treating critical patients during both visits. Emergency hospitals must prioritize life-threatening cases, and I was patient with the wait because I know that's part of emergency medicine. My concerns began after we were seen. Throughout both visits, we interacted with so many different doctors and staff members that it became genuinely disorienting. I couldn't keep track of who was overseeing my dog's care because multiple people came in to ask questions, perform examinations, or discuss next steps. At one point, I was even given two different treatment recommendations by two different doctors during the same visit. As a client in an emergency situation, I shouldn't have to sort through conflicting recommendations. Those conversations should happen within the medical team before they're presented to the pet owner. I was also concerned by the condition of the hospital during our visit. Blood-soaked towels remained on the floor near the entrance for over two hours after a critical patient had been moved elsewhere in the hospital. Overflowing bins of wet, used towels were left against the wall during that same time. Seeing biohazardous materials left in common areas for that length of time raised concerns for me about sanitation and infection control. What stood out most to me was how different this experience felt compared to VEG Seattle. The Seattle location felt organized, well-coordinated, and adequately staffed. Even while treating emergency cases, communication was clear, responsibilities seemed well defined, and the overall experience inspired confidence. Everyone I interacted with was kind and courteous, and I sincerely appreciate the work emergency veterinary professionals do. My concerns are not about individual staff members, they're about the systems in place at this location. I hope leadership will look at what is working so well at the Seattle hospital and consider implementing those same practices here, because the difference in the client experience was significant.

All of a sudden they don't think he's a good fit for them, maybe he should go to a private groomer. It's really unfortunate. We have the premier membership or whatever they offer. He was seen at petcos in CA before moving here. He is such a loving (though big) golden retriever. We will try another location to see if there are actual groomers who are wanting to do their job. Seems clear from our most recent experiences (and reading some of the other reviews) this location can't handle any dog. I should mention his ears and paws were soaked when picked up. He is prone to ear infections, which they know about. When we had taken him in with other groomers there he was there 3+ hours. Now, barely 2 hours. He seems really depressed now too. Poor buddy traumatized by the lack of care there
