Sick Visits & Injury Care: Here When Your Pet Needs Us Most
When your pet isn’t acting like itself, whether it’s a sudden illness, a limp, or something just seems off—it’s important to get answers quickly. Our veterinary team is here to help assess, diagnose, and treat your pet when they’re not feeling their best.

We know how stressful it can be when your pet is sick or hurt. Our goal is to provide compassionate care and clear communication, so you’re never left wondering what’s next.

When to Schedule a Sick Visit

It’s always okay to call if you’re unsure. In general, we recommend booking a visit if your pet shows any of the following:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea

  • Limping or pain

  • Coughing or sneezing

  • Loss of appetite

  • Sudden weight loss

  • Excessive itching or shaking head

  • Eye or ear discharge

  • Trouble urinating or going to the bathroom

  • Lethargy or hiding

  • Open wounds, swelling, or visible injury

Even subtle behavior changes can be signs that something’s wrong—especially in cats or senior pets.

What to Expect During a Sick Visit

  • Thorough physical exam to assess the issue

  • Discussion of symptoms and any changes you’ve noticed

  • Diagnostics as needed, such as bloodwork, urinalysis, x-rays, or ultrasound

  • Treatment recommendations tailored to your pet’s condition

  • Clear explanation of options, costs, and home care instructions

In many cases, we can start treatment on the same day. If your pet needs further testing or specialist care, we’ll help coordinate that too.

Injury & Wound Care

Accidents happen. From minor scrapes to more serious trauma, we offer:

  • Wound cleaning, sutures, or bandaging

  • Pain management and anti-inflammatories

  • Digital x-rays for possible fractures or internal injuries

  • Monitoring for infection or swelling during follow-up visits

If your pet is bleeding, unable to stand, or in distress, please call us right away so we can prepare for urgent care.


No one knows your pet like you do. If something doesn’t seem right, don’t wait, we’re here to help you get to the bottom of it and guide your pet back to feeling like themselves.

FAQs

Answers to your top FAQs on veterinary care.

These procedures are priced according to species, size/weight, and any special circumstances such as cryptorchidism in males and pregnancy or pyometra in females. If you have yet to establish care, please schedule an appointment to discuss this with a veterinarian. If your patient has already been seen by a veterinarian, please ask one of our client service representatives for an estimate. The estimate will include the surgery, anesthesia, pre-op bloodwork, and any medications to go home.

Without examining your pet, we cannot be sure. Some spay/neuter facilities do not use the green line tattoo. Some male dogs have undescended testicles, a condition called cryptorchidism. Some female dogs may have a scar on their abdomen from a cesarean section or other abdominal procedure other than a spay. When you bring in your pet to establish care, we can discuss any diagnostics that can aid in determining their status.

This depends on factors such as the age, size, and sensitivity of the patient. These concerns will be addressed by the veterinarian prior to scheduling the procedure so that a specialized plan can be made for your pet.

We recommend making an appointment to establish care with a veterinarian, and we will review the records from the shelter to determine what vaccinations, parasite control and prevention, etc., may still be needed.

You may bring the stray dog or cat in for us to scan for a microchip, but we do not take in strays, and we will direct you to the Regional Animal Services of King County.

We do not offer payment plans, and payment is due when services are provided. However, we provide estimates for all of our services and work hard to develop treatment plans that work within your budget. We accept all major credit cards, and we also accept CareCredit and Scratch which are third-party financing options. We are also happy to direct you to financial aid resources and low-cost programs based in the Seattle area.
