VCA Redmond Animal Hospital

Dr Jim is great! He took very good care of our elderly cat, Monkey! She has been suffering from a hyper thyroid and a yeast infection and with in days she is back to her old self. The team was very helpful and Dr Jim called us on his day off to give us our results to Monkey’s test. Thanks VCA!

It was a much better veterinary hospital before it became part of VCA! All they worry about now is the bottom line! They want to up sell when ever they can, even when it isn’t in your pets best interest. Why else would they recommend exploratory surgery for a for a 12 year old dog with lung cancer. After we questioned the logic of that idea, the vet actually said it wouldn’t do anything to save our pet!
I would look elsewhere for a clinic that puts your pets health before their billable services!

Extremely Impressed. Great staff, friendly, welcoming, and educated.
Best experience at a Vet in a long time. I would say that «you get what you pay for» but honestly, everyone is charging a lot anymore. Why not get an intelligent welcoming staff that is great with your pets. I only wish i went here first after moving here.

Stuff are nice, but they charged you a lot. Such a expensive place! After they became VCA, the coast went up a lot.

Everyone at this facility is incredibly nice and welcoming. My dog and I met with Dr. Jacobson who is extremely knowledgable and professional, also friendly and kind. Highly recommended!

They are just such a nice group of people and are always there to help. I can’t say enough nice things about the team.

I have been unable to find a vet that fits after relocating, and then stumbled upon this VCA, more specifically, Dr. Bin. She is extremely caring with my elderly cat and I can tell that she has a genuine love for animals and truly wants the best for them! Dr. Bin picked up on some issues with my sick kitty other vets overlooked and has significantly helped to improve his quality of life after the past two vets we visited seemed to be clueless. I am a student and she didn’t shame me when I couldn’t afford expensive testing, like other vets have done. She simply figured out what the next best step in our situation would be, and things are going well considering his age and illness. I highly recommend Dr. Bin.

My husband and I just got a new puppy and needed to find a vet. This VCA is located close to us and the reviews I saw were good so we decided to give it a try. We had the first appointment on a Sunday morning and were able to see the doctor right away.
We saw Dr. Bin and she was very nice and helpful. Since this is our first puppy and our first appointment at the vet, we received a «puppy welcome kit» with information on everything from pet insurance, to a vaccine schedule and everything in between (including a small bag of food and a treat for the pup!). Dr. Bin went over everything with us about our new puppy, asking us about her eating habits, what to look out for and what vaccines she will be needing and on what time table they will happen. Dr. Bin was great and the whole staff was so welcoming and wonderful! We were able to also get her microchipped and VCA even sent in the HomeAway microchip form to the company for us which was great!
As I was writing this review (1 day after the puppy’s appointment) I got a call from VCA wanting to check up on my puppy and make sure she was doing well after appointment yesterday. Everything we have encountered so far with the VCA redmond has been wonderful and I am glad my puppy is in good hands!

I’ve been taking my dog here for nearly 10 years. While it is a bit expensive, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Dr Stoegbauer calls me personally to follow up and check on my dog and is always very clear and concerned in describing our options. I feel she’s a great partner as my dog ages and is never trying to upsell me, just sharing all the considerations. All the staff there are friendly and my dog loves them!

I don’t have a pet but recently found a lost dog. I took her to VCA to check if she was chipped. She was, but wasn’t one of their clients. One of the employees spent significant time tracking down the service the chip was through and finally found the owners. They even offered to call again if I didn’t hear anything by evening. The owners called asap and picked her up. I’m super thankful for all the help VCA provided and if I had a pet, we would definitely bring them here.

We could not be MORE pleased with Dr. Newby… she is incredible. Kind, patient and a great listener… she helps us to figure out how to afford to take care of our aging cat in a balanced and caring way. We LOVE her as a vet, and the staff is great, too.

The doctors and staff are friendly and mean well. In the summer of 2011, I needed to bring in my 8 month old cat as he was having problems breathing. I used their free exam for new patient coupon. The doctor suggested I also get a vaccine for my cat and prescibed him a supplement. When I went to settle the bill, they said I had a credit of $ 35 on my account. I asked about it and they didn’t know where it was from, and this is my first visit!
I asked to pay for the vaccine and the supplement, they took the credit off the bill because they did not know how to charge me. Fast forward a few months I get a bill in the mail for the $ 35 plus interest. This was super frustrating, in a medical facility their systems should be up to date, this incident made me decide to not come back.
They do offer boarding as well, for a cat it is $ 26 a day, if you shop around this is the high end. In addition, your animal must have had an exam there to be boarded there, I was quoted $ 77 for an exam. My normal vet costs $ 65. Plus, the receptionist said tax is additional.
I shop around for everything. Just be aware if you do go here, ask for the prices.

The staff has been great! My one dog has allergies and the other dog has been having tummy issues. Between the allergies, x-​rays, ultrasounds, I have been in about 8 times in the past year and every time I am always treated the same. The docs are great and will call me to find out how my boys are doing.
Only problem I had, is my one dog is a beast and is hard to deal with. I was charged over $ 100 for toe nail clipping and an ear cleaning. I’ll do those myself at home from now on.

I absolutely love the staff here, but the prices have only gone up (way up) over the years. They charge a filling fee just to put pills in a bottle, plus the cost of the pills. They used to price match prescriptions, no longer. They used to let you leave your pet in the morning for an afternoon appointment if you asked ahead of time, now they charge you a boarding fee. All these little extra charges that seemed to crop up since they became VCA. To be honest, if they had these prices before I created a relationship with them, I’d have never used them. In fact, I’ve been giving serious consideration to leaving because of it.
Again, the staff and doctors are great, but they over charge for everything.

Finally a real Vet hospital that I can actually believe and seems sure of their practice and employees. We had been looking for a change from Banfield, which clearly sucks overall and are glad we read the Unilocal reviews of this location. Our hairy kids will be visithing these guys for now on!

A few weeks ago I had to have my 17 year old cat put to sleep. The staff at this location had never seen us before, but they treated us like a regular patient. They were incredibly sensitive to how upset I was and how hard the situation was. I was a blubbering mess, and as embarrassing as that is in retrospect — they were very compassionate. Dr. Hightower was very comforting and helped ease some of my guilt about the decision I had to make. It was an awful experience made tolerable by caring staff.
We just got a new kitten, and today I took him to Dr. Rogers. She’s just as great as Dr. Hightower, and I plan on scheduling with her again! She was not rushed at all — she was nice and very patient with my talkative 5 year old. Some of the staff remembered me from a few weeks ago, and I feel like they were genuinely happy to see that we had gotten a new pet and were in much better spirits. Many of them took turns coming in and cooing over the kitten. (Who can resist a kitten? Not even people who see them daily!)
This is the most positive experience I’ve ever had with a vet clinic! It is pricey as another review stated– BUT they give you the first exam free AND they are good about letting you know what the expenses will be before they rack up. They don’t guilt you if you let them know you have a price point you need to stick to — I was able to put off a test until our next visit and she was completely supportive of it. It’s no more expensive than any other top quality animal hospital! You have access to them 7 days a week, that’s a major bonus since animals tend to be like kids and only get sick on weekends ;)
It was only our second visit, but the way both were handled I would recommend this place to anyone. I expect future visits to go just as well.

Ok, first things first, this place is expensive. I mean, all Vet’s in this area are, but VCA seems to be even more expensive. But, you do get what you paid for. The service and attention here is fantastic. I have taken my dog here a few times after moving to the Eastside and we have seen Dr Hightower and Dr Worland, both of who are fantastic. So sweet, kind, and knowledgeable, and very patient and understanding with my rescue dog who is scared of the Vet’s office. Their meds prices seem to be higher as well, but, I know that my dog will get the best care possible, and they are open until 8 pm during the week and it is easy to get an appt in the evening so I don’t have to take time off of work, which definitely makes it worth it.
I mean, it’s the Vet. It’s expensive. Your animal hates it. But, in the end, I am very happy with the care I have received here and will continue to frequent this Animal Hospital as long as I live in the area.

What can be said about the VCA Redmond Animal Hospital that isn’t positive, right Zach? This hospital is fairly nice with helpful staff. Perfect for when your pet needs some extra care. Great for checkups, advice, diagnoses, and even boarding. VCA Animal Hospital is your one stop shop for everything related to the care of your pet, isn’t that right Zach?
We accompanied Willie to the vet as part of the investigation. Isaac and Isaiah are inseparable from Willie, and they proved most helpful during the investigation. We saw Doctor Rogers, who is fantastic. She did a good job checking him out and letting us know what his state was. She offered advice on keeping him healthier and preventing some arthritis from developing further. Willie is quite the happy dog now, isn’t he Zach? It’s almost as if he is key to this case, but we’re not yet sure how…
The cost, however, is high. One needs to be careful about what they choose to sign up for. They offer estimates before acting, which is good. The push for more services seems apparent, and should be noted.
There is a sense of security though when entrusting your pet to the VCA. They do a good job, even if it is going to cost you quite a bit.

When we first moved to Redmond some years ago, the first vet we went to was VCA, mostly because it was the first vet’s office we noticed. We were astounded by the first vet visit cost, it was crazy high. I assumed because I had moved here from NY that maybe WA vets just charged a LOT more, like double what I was used to paying.
We took our pets here for 2 years and at every visit we were encouraged to do lots of testing for routine things. We were kind of made to feel like a-​holes because we didn’t want to get our perfectly healthy dog a full blood panel or Ultrasounds for no reason. When we got a puppy, we spent over $ 1000 here getting her spayed and her shots. It was around this time I started thinking, «This is ridiculous… I need to shop around and see if these prices are normal». So, I did… and I found out that VCA charges a LOT more than any other normal vet. We use a vet in Duvall now, close to where we live.
In defense of VCA, they are also an emergency vet. Maybe why they charge so much more than regular vets. In an emergency, I would not hesitate to take my pets back here. But for regular stuff, our normal vet is awesome and charges about ¹⁄₃^rd to ½ of what VCA does.
They do give a MS Prime card discount. Love that about them. I still get my dogs groomed here at Clipped Whiskers in the back, they also do the MS Prime Card discount. My dogs are finicky and LOVE LOVE LOVE the groomers, Lindsay and Kalli, so I will not shop around for different groomers even though I know of cheaper options.
So basically, although I no longer use this as my regular vet it’s primarily because of the high cost and the high push of up-​selling they do. But the actual services are good. I appreciate having an emergency vet that I know is open on the weekends and I adore the groomers because I know my dogs are well cared for there.

Amazing vet! My roommate and I had two dogs and our golden is a patient here and we hadn’t brought our yorkie here before but when he suddenly died we brought him here to be cremated. The staff was so incredibly kind and patient. They helped us make the decisions that needed to be made and make the whole experience a little less painful.
Not only did they help us through that day but they also sent us a condolences card signed by the staff there with our puppies paw print and lock of his hair.
All this for a dog that wasn’t even their patient.
I cannot tell you how appreciative I am of this vet hospital and how great they were to us… I am blown away.
