I am so grateful for the professional and caring support our dog received at South Seattle Vet. They acted swiftly and provided me with helpful, clear updates each time I called. All of the staff are caring and have excellent customer service. We are so lucky to have found them.

Early this year my cat had to be put to sleep, and the people here were exceptionally kind and gentle. And this morning my sister's dog passed, and the staff (namely the vet assistant, Devin) was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help with the process. This place is usually very busy and it can be frustrating, but I can't thank Devin & the staff enough for being there when we needed it most.

Called in the middle of the night all scared about my pups bleeding. They helped me assess him, listened to me, asked relevant questions and ultimately suggested I follow up with my vet (saving me dollars!) instead of bringing him in. Would totally call in the middle of the night again😅

I’ve brought all my dogs here and they’ve always done an amazing job. My dogs are family to me and to know that they will be taken care of any time at all is a peace of mind. I live in Puyallup but will make the drive up here just because I know they will see my babies without an appointment and will do a fantastic job in solving their issues. Thanks guys! Rosie, Blue and Nacho thank you 😊

Very professional, clean hospital, friendly staff and all around great service. I transferred my dog here from Blue Pearl (do not ever go to Blue Pearl!) and Dr. Goraya was able to take him right away. Not only was he very understanding but empathetic to our situation. Would highly recommend this facility!!!

After a pet died at home, we contacted many vets and even the home vet who scheduled the next day to come pick up our dog. All said no or couldn’t help till the following day. One even said get an ice chest, which after a few hours we did go buy one. I contacted South Seattle Vet lady and not only were they compassionate about the situation, they provided a solution. Upon arriving to the vet, the nice girl at the desk, was amazing and kind and could gauge that I was lost and uncomfortable about the options. She provided me with examples and even spoke in a lower voice as not to upset the others waiting for pets. She even provided me with an options to bring the dog to the back of the building and not have everyone see my poor passed dog. From the day from hell to this person and business, thank you.

Chelsey at the front desk and Cyndi the Veterinarian were great. Kind and helpful and best of all nice to my dog. I will take my dog here next time.

I needed urgent help with a (self) fostering kitten (after calling many places, I thought my only option was euthanasia) and everyone at the hospital from my initial phone calls, the receptionists, Dr Brar whose thoughtful, kind, expert help gave me options that saved Kitten, and Kyle whose care and kindness helped both Kitten and myself - I am deeply grateful.
I admire the good caring values that are clearly part of the professional expert veterinary services that are offered, kudos to the Hospital organization and management for fostering that. :) I strongly recommend South Seattle Veterinary Hospital.
Thank you everyone at South Seattle Veterinary Hospital for your care and expert help with saving Kitten! :)

We have been so pleased with their care from start to finish! They were wonderful in a crisis - cared for our pet compassionately, and tended to our human concerns professionally and empathetically.

Our cat was having issues peeing, started laying on her side just pushing outside the litter box. Was able to call and talk to the support staff and get information we needed. Rushed to the place, and was taken care of. Friendly staff, and they definitely made sure to help relieve stress.

Came here when another ERVet closed service for the night. Easy intake. My dog had to stay overnight and be monitored after getting into raisins. The main vet I worked with was informative and understanding. However the second vet was monotone and lackluster. He didn't follow up as the first vet said he would and kept pushing off my questions. I was told 2 different times to come pick up my dog, came at the later of the two knowing the vet industry is over worked right now and I still had to wait over an hour in a room for my dog to be released. I wish there had been more communication when I placed in the room that it would be a longer wait than normal. If I get told to get my dog will be ready to go at 1 and then call to confirm and get told 3 I'm going to be there at 3. If get there at 2:55, and get placed in a room and I sit until 4 with no interaction it's the lack of acknowledgement that is annoying. I'm super flexible and don't mind waiting longer, but consideration is proper. With that annoyance aside

My 6 year old kitty had a really scary Christmas! We had seen two vets prior to finding South Seattle Vet and a hefty bill from his previous treatments. Dr Goraya was incredibly understanding and willing to help us save our little guy. He explained the procedure in detail and agreed to keep him an extra day in hospital due to the emotional stress and anxiety we had already been experiencing for the prior week. We have continued to take our cat back to the clinic over the last month for regular care, check ups and additional concerns. The entire staff has been friendly and empathetic to our situation. We aren't in the clear yet but Dr Goraya continues to care for our cat and help us provide him with the best possible care. We are incredibly grateful and thankful to have found this hospital!
I'm giving four stars simply because our kitty isn't in the clear yet but once I can confirm he's 100% okay I will be editing this review to reflect five
stars!
Update:
Our boy requires regular care for UTIs and will eat

Wow. How to begin? On the night of March 24 2022, my beautiful 11 year old boy got very sick. South Seattle vet were the only place that could see him and they were an hour away by bus. Several hours later, we left a very sick kitty knowing the surgeon would review his xrays at noon the next day. They gave us a room , the news was bad, ruptured bladder and flooded abdonen, exploratory surgery or emminent death.
They gave us a private room to try to wrap our heads around the earthquake that just struck our family. They gave us time to notify family and for them to get there, one hour by bus.
Once the decision was made for a soft send off, they let us have as much time as we needed. My Elijah Blue was treated with care and dignity. The vets, technicians and front desk staff were amazing. I had instant trust in them and they were honest, fair and understanding of our pain. I cannot recommend enough.

I was referred here by another emergency vet when I was trying to find a place that had openings. I brought my cat in who was very lethargic and had a fever, which ended up being severe constipation. There was virtually no wait when I brought her in at 9pm on a Saturday, and staff were very friendly when I would periodically ask for updates. They were very thorough, taking periodic x-rays to make sure she was good to go home. Price seemed on par or cheaper with other 24 hour emergency vets. I feel very confident in recommending them.

I am very thankful for this hospital. My doggo had been throwing up for several hours and I initially just thought it was some type of stomach bug but after he started throwing up blood, I knew it was serious. I called about 10 vets in the area and they were all at capacity and couldn’t take him that early in the morning. When I called South Seattle, they told me to bring him right in and were able to see him immediately. He had to stay overnight and get X-rays and what not. I am very satisfied with the cost because not only was it an emergency in the early morning but it was a weekend and in my experience, that is more costly. My baby boy is back to his normal self and I am just so thankful for all of their help! It’s far from my home but I am going to make them my primary vet!

After the care my dog received at South Seattle Animal Hospital, she is back to her usual life, eats, plays, runs as she used to do. Thank you for taking such an amazing care of her!

This office is well staffed and well run. The prices are better than any veterinarian in the area and the doctors are kind and competent.

Very professional and caring. I have been going here for my pups check up and random care for over 10 years. And each time they have gone above and beyond for our pups. For example. My brother in law chiwawa was attacked by an unleashed pit bull. And they were able to save her for $4k. The love and professionalism is Michelin star.

Both my dogs are seen here! Great staff! Caring Drs and vet techs. ALWAYS do their best to provide the best care and attention to my pets. I'm very happy with this vet and highly recommend them!

They are really amazing here. We first started bringing our cats here because our primary vet was out of town and they let us come in the same day. One of our cats had to have surgery and then we had to go back a couple times because they had worms. They have honestly been so great and accommodating that we have decided to start taking our cats here from now on. They really just make what would be a very stressful situation that much easier. The prices are a lot cheaper than our old vet too.

I brought my puppy Willow in last night and no other vets would take her. She had parvo and was showing signs and I was able to get her in asap on the day she showed signs. They gave me a package of stuff to take home to nurse her back to health. No vomiting today, she has more energy, and is eating. We have high hopes for her recovery and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to save our little baby. The vets were kind, helpful and showed us exactly how to use the supplies we had gotten.

Dr Goraya saves pets lives! His knowledge is beyond what you can find at most routine care vet clinics. I appreciate their long hours and proximity to West Seattle. My little guy, Ralphie has had a tumor removed from under his tongue. He was back to himself within a day of the surgery but he could eat so much better.

Both of my pets (cat and dog) are treated by SSVH. I appreciate their sense of urgency and their kindness in treating my animals. If you are looking to be coddled at the vet, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are looking for consistent and careful care of your pet this is the place to go.

Dr Goraya, Chelsea, Kyle, Jasmine, and two other assistants whose names I didn't get (sorry!) treated my puppy, Madigan, and me with excellent care. Our wait was minimal, and Dr Goraya diagnosed Madigan and gave us a treatment plan quickly. He also provided an estimated cost that was spot on. Expensive yes, but most vet services are, especially when they involve surgery; that's why I have pet insurance. I would definitely bring my pup back to South Seattle for any future emergency services (they are not our primary vet), but let's hope we don't need them! Thank you, South Seattle team for getting us patched up and on the mend!
