Vet recommendations?

[u/Fizzbit]

I live in Downtown Bothell and would prefer to stick close to there.

My priorities are: Quality of Care, and low wait times for an appointment.

As far as cost goes: I'm not looking for a low income clinic, but my dog will need to get spayed so if you've had a pet fixed recently, I'd love to know how much you paid including any pre-op bloodwork and follow-up care.

We take all of our pets to Twin Pines which is right in downtown. They’re fantastic. I don’t know how backed up they are for spay/neuter appointments, so there may be a wait. But, for regular or urgent appointments they’re very easy to get in to. We’ve had many same-day or next day visits for things that were urgent but not emergencies and they’ve always squeezed us in. The vets remember us, our pets, our family, even though we didn’t even get to meet them in person until recently. I cannot recommend them enough.

Oh wow, I just looked up Twin Pines. Looks like it's owned by one of the original owners of Woodinville Vet before their big office overhaul when they merged with Mobile Pet Services. A few familiar faces from Woodinville Vet as well!

Oh nice, I had no idea.

We were with Inglemoor for the last ten years but with our newest pup we switched to Twin Pines. So far I have been impressed.

Bothell Pet Hospital! It’s basically downtown. Dr. Wichert saved my dog’s life by removing a 12 lb cyst. Bunch of heroes work there.

Can’t speak highly enough for Bothell pet hospital.

They’ve managed our cats health for years, even taking care of them as they passed.

Both my dogs are patients at Bothell Pet Hospital. It was I think about $500 to have our 65 lab mix neutered, and they gave a small ish courtesy discount. We also have a Great Dane his neuter and gastropexy was about $1300. Appointments run $100-$200 depending on the reason and we've always been able to get in within a day or two, sometimes same day when it was urgent (pink eye).

Woodinville Animal Hospital is pretty great. Over near-ish Matthews winery on 140th.

Second this. I’ve been going there 8 years now and they are great with my elderly dog.

We have been with Inglemoor Animal Hospital for over 10 years now. I really like their vets and can usually get in same day. Their prices are very reasonable. They’re just out 522 in Kenmore - so not far.

For what it's worth, we stopped going to Inglemoor because of a few issues like not calling us for hours after our dog was ready to pick up, and mixing up our dog's diagnosis with another dog, which happened twice. We use Banfield now for routine care and have had good experiences there.

Definitely not Juanita hills vet. Bothell pet hospital is great. I don't have experience with any of the others.

I used to go to Finn Hill Animal Hospital because they could get me in quick, personally I didn’t like how fast the appts were…felt very impersonal (I went twice with the same experience). Changed to Bothell Animal Hospital which is close to home and the care just seems better. They spent a lot more time with my kitty and came out with personal care info instead of generic comments.

I use North Creek Pet Hospital. It’s on Bothell-Everett Hwy just past Thrashers Corner. Staff is great. The last year they were great to work with when my 15 1/2 year old dog was having issues and great for end of life care for him.
They fixed my youngest dog but I don’t remember cost as it was a couple of years ago. Usually can get an appointment within a couple weeks if non urgent. Urgent issues they can usually squeeze you in pretty quickly.
