i never write reviews but i saw a review for this awesome place that was poor. dont listen to them. this place is THE BEST. I have had pets for the 52 years of my life and this is the best vet I have ever found. Dr is smart, caring, kind and good, the staff is competent and the prices are right. they work 7 days a week all for our pets. This vet is the best, and everyone i see in this busy place agrees.

I took my cat to be spayed here after seeing online that this service costs $59.99. My cat met all the requirements (not in heat, under 1 years old), so I was happy to find a place to take her that would be cheaper than my usual vet. Before you get your cat spayed, please note that they tack on MANY additional charges, most of which they don't tell you up front. My total came to $171 (ouch!) and I couldn't dispute this because the service had already been done. When I asked to pay upfront, they refused. I should have left at that point, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Charges were: -$59.99 spay -$41 for fluids (apparently these were "necessary" even though they were listed as optional on the sheet) -$10 for a cone (I was called a "bad pet owner" when I initially refused to pay for a cone. I honestly have never been to a vet where they charge for this. I was lectured for ~3 minutes about how I shouldn't worry about cost when it came to my pet's health and I was being a "bad pet owner"). -$36 for 2 shots (not sure what this was... wasn't told about it when I signed the paperwork, so this was a surprise charge that I couldn't get out of). -$20 for an office visit (wasn't told about this either... no where online did it say you had to pay $20 plus the $59 spay charge!). -$3 first time patient set up fee (no problem there, I saw this online). All in all, my cat was fine after the spay. However, I am on a strict budget and this was a very unexpected charge. If I would have known it was going to be this expensive, I would have taken my cat to the normal vet where she would have had a warm blanked, a treat, and extra recovery time.

Dr Zile and his friendly staff really care about the animals. I have a dog rescue and without their partnership, I could not afford to do the work. This is a family operated establishment, so it has that feeling which I have found to be rare. I have used several different vets in the Seattle and Southern CA area and this is the one I chose. You get great, compassionate care with Dr Zile and you don't leave with a huge bill.

Very reasonable can be a back up on a busy day. Dr. Zile is the only vet most of the times. Everyone is nice and they work with rescue groups to help the animals which is very noble on their part. I am happy and know the staff works very hard to help the animals that come into their hospital. I witnessed first hand 2 acts of compassion on Dr Ziles part. He adminstered fluids to a dog in the parking lot. The dog was older overweight and over heated on a run with the owner. He was buying the owner and the dog time. The dogs kidneys were shutting down it was a very sad thing to see but it gained my respect for his compassion to help the dog and not be clinical about it like so many vets can be. Good place and I reccomend them. Limited to certain proactices and treatments but will refer out.

I love being to walk into the clinic without an appointment and still never have to wait long. Dr. Zile is so caring about all the animals and always goes above and beyond to provide the best care, even if it means staying late! I wouldn't go anywhere else! I've referred many family and friends here and I've always gotten great feedback from them. Our dog is a crybaby and a drama queen so he's always a pain to take but I've never heard a complaint from any of them. Would highly recommend this place.
