  Care club subscription is a complete scam. Why pay for a massive yearly subscription only to save a couple hundred bucks on a single vaccination appointment? Basically the same experience as the previous reviewer. You're still paying a very significant amount for every appointment and any emergencies will require you to go elsewhere as available. We will not be renewing and will be finding a new vet ASAP.

  These people turned away a critically injured dog that was hit by a car.

  Dr. Plosky and Dr. Bose are fantastic, and the technicians and staff are just great. We’ve brought our animals to West Seattle VCA for years, and referred our friends for their pets’ care. We’ve gotten stellar care for our dogs and cats, especially when there have been major health issues that required close attention and monitoring. Highly recommend! Several years on from my first review, I still can’t recommend West Seattle VCA highly enough. We’ve had wonderful additions to our household, a kitty that had survived through some pretty harrowing things before she found her way to us, and a stray pup that found us when she was a year old. They both developed health issues as time passed, and the vets at West Seattle have bent over backward to care for them. We looped in specialists and found that the WS vets communicated with the specialists and managed their care closely, especially Dr.Plosky. All of them have been fantastic. They’ve been amazing over the almost 20 years we’ve been going to them for care. I can’t say enough good things about them and am so grateful for their care!

  UPDATE: My Vet at South Seattle Vet Hospital ran blood tests and found My Husky was suffering from pancreatitis! Mystery solved. Why couldn't VCA just drop the authoritative/bureaucratic act and just given my dog some care? Original Story: My 4 year old Husky has been acting "cranky". One day she bit a dog at the Wescrest dog park, and the next morning bit my son in the face as my son was laying on top of her. I wanted to check if there were underling medical reasons or pain that contributed to the sudden aggression before I considered euthanasia. I walked in with no appointment, Every other vet I've ever gone to always operated this way and figured given the circumstances, they might squeeze me in. The two vets were "out for lunch" but when I told them why I was there, the receptionist told me "I'll be right back." The female Vet, (forgot the name) that I had never met before, came up and shook my hand, asked me to come into the exam room where we could talk privately. She had nothing helpful to say, but instead started getting all bureaucratic on me telling me I better take my son to the Dr and call animal control, ON MY OWN DOG!!!! I was dumbfounded! The conversation deteriorated and turned into a debate about whether or not yearly booster vaccinations are necessary, and I eventually said "You know? I'm feeling uncomfortable so I'm going to go to another vet." I thanked her for her time and left. Well guess what she goes and does next? She calls Animal Control!!! I'm having to deal with Animal Control now. On my voice-mail this morning, the officer working on my case received a fax from the Department of Health with a statement saying something about how "I don't believe in the vaccination." EXCUSE ME? This is ludicrous and unfounded!!! I'm not positive, but possibly DEFAMATORY!!! As a result, my Husky is on a 10 day rabies quarantine. I can't even take her to the vet to check for an underling medical condition that might make a formerly sweet dog, mean. I've raised my two babies with this dog. The bite wasn't even substantial. A couple scrapes under his eyes and that's about it. The teeth never broke through ALL the layers of the skin. My 8 week old Puppy (who is now 4mo old and up to date on his vaccinations) has done more damage!!! It left red marks, but not an ounce on blood was dropped. Certainly nothing I would take my kids to the Doctor for. I'm not even sure if her report to Animal Control was called for. I feel my privacy has been unjustifiably violated. I wouldn't trust going back to that Vet. I caution others to avoid VCA in West Seattle, UNLESS you LOVE having Big Brother in your life. Seriously? Who would call Animal Control on their own, vaccinated, dog?
