The staff here is the most wonderful and amazing group of people. They went above and beyond for our girl Sadie on 4/14/23. They did not have to help her given it was coming up on their closing time. But they did. And they were so compassionate towards us. Sadie was diagnosed 3/14/23 with High-grade large cell lymphoma. The day we ended up at Urban Animal we knew Sadie's fight was over. We spent all day trying to locate a service to help her be free from her cancer. Everything was outrageously overpriced and most were booked and wanted to schedule for another time. Like I can tell my baby girl sorry honey we have to schedule you're passing.... Anyhow, my husband called Urban and they didn't hesitate. Their price was within our range and we just had to be there by 7pm. It was 5:46pm when he called. We live in Everett and the traffic getting there delayed us. They were so understanding we were in tears just from their kindness. I can't recall the tech's name who helped us, but she was amazing. Absolutely one of the best. My husband couldn't be in the room but I refused to leave our girl. I didn't want her last moments to be alone and have her afraid. The tech was gentle with Sadie, and me, that the finality of her situation didn't fully hit me until it was all over. They allowed us to take our time to say our goodbyes, before and afterward, to our girl. Even when it was now well after 8pm. They really stepped in and helped us when nobody else would and our girl was finally able to be released from that horrible disease. I will never be able to fully express my gratitude or repay them. They will forever hold a special place in my heart for helping our girl and allowing us to help her not suffer. Thank you so much. We both appreciate all of you there that evening and for staying late when you honestly did not have to.

I showed up at 6:43 am. Doors open at 8 am. First person in line…. Intentionally as I had work obligations. saw a vet at 9:23 am. Left at 10 am on the dot. I understand they are busy, but 3 animals that were after me in line have were discharged and on their way before I saw a vet. Staff is friendly and nice but doesn’t make a ton of sense and just appears to be luck of the draw for who the vet sees first. I would come back if it actually were first come first serve for walk ins, but that is not the case. I was here 40 minutes before the next person, and that person left at least 25 minutes before i saw a vet. They took him for exam, then the vet never even came back to explain the issue. Literally didn’t talk to the vet after the exam. No actual explanation of what was wrong. A tech just walked out with an estimate for medication, and I had to ask what was wrong with my dog. She then said what the medicines did, but never another word from the vet. So 3.5 hours in total, and 2 hours from when I walked in the door. Extremely frustrating. Tends to be more affordable than other vets, but I won’t be back here. Not worth the savings for horrible service. If I wait that long, I would at least expect a 45 second conversation with the vet after the exam. I know they will say “that’s the walk in model, and we are switching” but still made 0 sense how it worked today. To their credit, this is the first time the service was horrible. It’s usually good, even with long wait times. I won’t be taking my dog here again, and will look for other options moving forward.

My 1st exp. I went into Urban Animal Capitol Hill in 3-days of tears, bc, I had Lil finances to work with. My poor cat suffered from dental need, his face was swollen, he couldn't eat, drooling, I thought he was going to die, I found some unused CLAVAMOX from my other kitty's past dental care. Where they [vet] pulled my other kitty's teeth. & it worked but still drooling took place. When I was told to bring in my kitty I immediately took him in, Vet. Bridgette Sharpe, saw my kitty, and stated her concern was his wheezing, so before the dental took place, I ended up getting my loving kitty an ECO EXAM @ $625.00. AFTER PAYING 1ST EXAN OF 500.00. NOW DENTAL CARE WILL TAKE PL, POSSIBLE ESTIMATE COST $900.00-$1500.00. my kitty's murmur was in good condition. TO further dental care.
