Allpet Veterinary Clinic

I should have read the reviews before taking my cats here! I came in for rabies and leukemia vaccinations. I was told they were done and I needed to come back in for a booster for the leukemia. When I came bak for the booster, I was again charged for a rabies vaccination and given another rabies certificate. The response I got was that they had accidentally given my cats a different vaccine for respiratory infection instead of rabies. My cats had already had 3 doses of this vaccine and were not recommended to have another. All the while, my cats are outside and I’m thinking they are vaccinated for rabies. Plus, I am horrified that my cats were given a vaccine that they were already vaccinated against. Meanwhile, the Dr. is charging me and charging me for double vaccines and other unnecessary treatment which I did not consent to. It is against the law to perform treatment without consent, but when I told them this, they did not seem to care.

Took my cat here a long time ago as he needed stitches. Our regular vet was on vacation and our cat was attacked had needed stitches. The doc used these large staples (at 10 $ each) and they kept falling out. Poor demeanor with my sweet cat and expensive bill. This was about 5 years ago and looking for a vet for my pup.

The staff has always treated my animals with love and care. And, in bad situations, they treat me with love and care. We like the happy times though.

Nice people. My cat seems to be doing much better. It was a long wait, even though there weren’t many people there. I would recommend this veterinary clinic.

This clinic is great. It’s one of the only clinics in the Seattle area that treats guinea pigs. I had a bit of an emergency and they got me in the day I called! I arrived very early due to some scheduling mishaps and instead of making me wait they snuck me in early. My guinea pig Waffle is having some issues with his eye and doctor O was very gentle with him even though he was clearly very scared. He had to be put on a battery of medicines which of course we’re not cheap but it’s what I expected. The doctor was also very realistic about the nature of Waffle’s condition and overall well being. Totally reasonable prices and awesome staff. Thanks guys!

I found Dr. Obegi through the animal shelters I have done volunteer work for — Animal Talk Rescue (now called SAFR) and Missy’s Rescue. She does a TON of pro bono work for both of them on an ongoing basis. Additionally, she has the most reasonable prices for all of the care I’ve needed for my cats in the past, and the two times she has referred me to specialists for complicated surgeries, I’ve been very happy with those hospitals as well. She’s saved three of my cats’ lives on several occasions (all my cats are now elderly and have had ongoing health problems) and, during my volunteer work, I’ve seen her save cats, dogs, and reptiles who other vets said could not be saved. I would trust no other vet more than I trust her, paws down, any day of the week.

Dr. Obegi has now saved the lives of both of my cats. She and her staff have always been knowledgeable, professional, and kind to me and my pets.
My cat recently had a life threatening emergency and spent 4 days at Allpet. The staff clearly cared about my cat (he would only sleep in a litter box so they gave him a second one – one to sleep in and one to poop in!), Dr. Obegi caught things that the emergency vet hadn’t, and my bill for a 4 day stay with her clinic was a tiny (and totally reasonable) fraction of the bill I paid for less than 24 hours at the ER vet. I live closer to a number of vet clinics but I’m going to keep making the drive to Allpet!

I want to take the time to write this review, I have thougt about it over and over and here goes.
I have a black lab that will be 5 Thai August, ever since we brought him home we have been dealing with his ears. Constant infections, smell, and head shaking. We came across Allpet and the first time we brought him in it was about 250 for an exam and meds. We were given drops and pills, the ears cleared up only temporarily. For the next 3 years we have dealt wit this vet miss treating our labs ears. For 3 years I have asked for them to flush the ears only to be told no we need to continue on the meds. Which mind you never cleared his ears, my poor dog was in so much pain and I was getting so pissed off because they were just taking my money, each appointment was between 250 – 400 dollars and nothing got better. Flash forward to sept 2013 and they finally flushed his ears and gave him the same meds… guess what it didn’t help. I heard from a friend about a product called zymox otic, for a 8oz bottle and shipping I spent 30 dollars. I used this product for 14 days in a row. After just 3 days my dogs ears were cleared up! I will never go back to Allpet and I will never recommend this business they overcharge you and you don’t get results.

I would give 0 stars if it weren’t for my positive interaction with Dr. Obegi and some of the vet assistants. However, I do not appreciate how Allpet Veterinary Clinic does business and will not be returning.
All my pets go to Banfield Pet Hospital, and while their Unilocal reviews aren’t the best, I have always had a wonderful experience because of their comprehensive health services.
I adopted a kitten yesterday and was advised to visit Dr. Obegi since she is aware of his health history. The pet rescue also uses Dr. Obegi’s services for their shelter needs. I called to make an appointment and stated that I wanted to schedule the free vet exam, as promised by the pet rescue, because of the adoption. The receptionist set up the appointment and told me to bring a fecal sample for the exam. There was no mention of any additional costs. Everything was going seemingly well, despite the overpriced flea medication ($ 26 at Allpet vs $ 16 at Banfield), and quick exam. After the exam and saying our goodbyes and thank you’s, I was almost out the door when the receptionist said that I needed to pay. Confused, I stated that I was promised a free vet exam, and the receptionist said that does not include the fecal exam. First of all, I did not even ask for the fecal exam, so I assumed it was included in the initial exam. In my experience, Banfield includes the fecal exam in the initial vet exam and seems to do a much more comprehensive initial vet exam. It seemed pointless to argue at this point, and so I paid and went on my way.
Maybe I should have been a better consumer and asked about costs upfront. But seeing how I asked for the free exam, and was told me to bring in a fecal sample, I would not have even known to ask if there were extra costs. Receptionists, please be upfront with your customers; it’s a good business model to live by.

I do believe the reviews about being overpriced are FAKE.
Dr. Obegi’s office is professional and welcoming and they have the BEST prices I have come across. I came from the clinic up in Bothell and they charged three to four times what I pay here for the exact same procedure.
I was referred to Obegi by a local chinchilla breeder in the area (Linda). Obegi does all of Linda’s chinchilla’s routine teeth trims and has been more than pleased over the span of many years.
She treats my chinchilla’s wonderfully. She has held my chinchilla passed closing hours when traffic took a bit longer than usual. She was kind and only charged me for the services that were provided nothing extra (unlike the Exotic clinic in Bothell). She has never tried to force me to pay for ungodly antibiotics and tests that were not necessary. I have received nothing but professional work and attitude from all of the kind staff.
On one certain visit, a young couple was having a kitten put down for some serious reason and all I could hear and see was the never ending sympathy from Obegi and her staff. The young couple left reassured and cared for.
Anyways, thank you for allowing a student to afford the best care for my pets without giving up an arm and a leg to do so.

I brought my geriatric pet to Obegi one week before I had to put her down.
I sensed something was very wrong at Allpet while my pet was in their care for only a few hours.
Obegi was selling me a boat load of torturous treatments when I finally wised up and took my pet to a doctor.
I was told my pet should have been put down, and I should have been advised of this by Obegi. I was not advised of this by Obegi, who was very busy charging my credit card.
I hired Obegi because I thought she was a professional who would have my pet’s best interest at heart and tell me what I needed to know to make a good decision.
She failed.
My pet suffered because I took her to Allpet.
I believe these recent 5 star ratings/​reviews are FRAUD.
***BEWARE***

My «boyz» (cats) have been going to Dr. Obegi since 2008. The last 5 days have been a bit stressful with Amante sporting a very high fever. Dr. Obegi and her staff were absolutely wonderful. They called to check in on him, took great care of him for the day, and by doing so, took great care of me!
I TRUST Dr. Obegi. She is brilliant when it comes to understanding the meds and the options and the reasons… and I’m someone who really needs to understand to feel secure with treatment. With that, she is also reasonable and conservative with testing that may not give us answers. Her main concern was getting Amante back to himself. And she succeeded.
Having a vet that knows my cats means a lot to me — and I am sure it means a lot to them too, even if that expression does get mixed up with a hiss here and there… :-)

Dr. Obegi has an awesome approach with our animals and I really appreciate her letting you be involved in the process instead of «your dog needs this and it’s $ 3000» period. She goes over various approach’s and costs, and really makes you feel important.
Our old lady (13yr old pekingese) was having what I «diagnosed» as seizures. She would be running around and then suddenly stop, pull one arm up and flip on her back. Scared me greatly. After this repeated 2more times I brought her into Dr. Obegi. She gave her a complete check-​up and said, yes it may be seizures or it may be something as easy as a tweaked shoulder – why don’t we put her on some pain meds and have her take it easy for a week and see if this makes a difference before beginning the expensive process of diagnosing her and treating her for seizures. Great! We did as planned and her episodes stopped immediately with the pain meds and rest. Saved us probably hundreds of dollars.
I have referred a few friends and neighbors to Dr. Obegi since starting and they’ve been equally pleased! My neighbor has a 12year old yorkie, got an estimate for a teeth cleaning from her vet for $ 700! I told her to try AllPet and she got the exact same job done for $ 300.
AllPet cares about the animal first! And it is appreciated!

We just started with AllPet and Dr. Obegi on a recommendation from our groomer. We are more than pleased, she is very thorough and takes the time to explain all the options for our dogs best care. They are reasonably priced and our 2 little dogs that normally freak at the vet were putty in Dr. Obegi’s hands. You can tell that she truly loves what she does!

I just moved to Seattle and didn’t know where to take my two-​year-​old doggie. After searching Unilocal,I found Allpet and was absolutely thrilled with the experience.
Dr. Obegi was amazing not only with Rico my pup, but also with me since I tend to get very nervous whenever I have to take him to a vet! They spent time with the check-​up and answered any questions I had about everything.
Concerns about bringing Rico to a new state, with a different environment were thoroughly explained, and I feel much more at ease. They even took the time to talk with me about an upcoming plane flight I need to take my doggie on, and the best way to handle that.
I highly recommend! Thank you!

Dr. Obegi has been an excellent find. She has been wonderful with my cat — she’s caring, kind, approachable and very comprehensive in her diagnostics and explanations. She’s also very pragmatic when it comes to at-​home care and suggestions. I can tell that she really cares about my cat, and is always very gentle and nurturing when tendering treatments. She has a very calm and soothing effect on him too, which is comforting in stressful situations. Her follow-​up calls to see how things are going are always appreciated.
Access to appointments is also very easy and when there are urgents that pop up, Dr. Obegi makes herself available. Her assistant Jen is also a great asset. She’s knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive and also incredibly gentle.
She’s also very mindful of pet-owner’s pocketbooks and explains the priorities and costs of treatments, as well as offers less-​expensive solutions.
I know Dr. Obegi looks forward to moving into a new clinical space that will be more modern and able to accommodate upgraded diagnostics and more pets. I certainly plan to follow her there, as well.

I’ve been taking my pets to Dr O since she took over the practice in 2005 – 2006. She has removed tumors, drained abscesses, treated respiratory ailments, performed spays and neuters, and done pretty much anything else that can be done to a rat, hamster or guinea pig. While I occasionally go to a vet who is closer to my home for emergency care, no one performs surgery on my animals but Dr O. She knows the insides of rodents like the back of her hand and stays up to date on new surgical procedures. If you have a sick rodent or cavy, Dr O is where to go!

Dr. O once again came through for my dog. I had noted a spot on his belly that seemed a little odd. Brought my dog in and she instantly knew what it was — mast cell cancer. She did a biopsy to confirm, called me with the results the next day and got him in for an ultrasound and chest xray to be sure it hadn’t spread. We had surgery that same week and he’s recovering well. Good news is its a grade 2 so no further treatment other than monitoring. Dr. O moves fast when it matters!

I always get a weird feeling when I’m here, like I’m not welcome. Both the receptionist and Dr. Obegi are cold, and they don’t appreciate my efforts to stay involved with my pets treatment (to the point of shutting the door in my face when I’m trying to see how they’re administering doses to my cats!) It’s always outrageously priced too. I’m going to switch vets asap.
The final thing, is that they totally charge you for things without telling you beforehand. awful! awful! don’t go here unless you have to!

I did not like the way this vet handled my dwarf hamster. She kept her pinned down completely under a washcloth even when she was done examining her and was talking to us. I’m surprised she could breath. I know she needs to restrain her while doing a physical, but she did so in an unnecessarily rough manner. She seemed to lack compassion for her and kept calling her feisty and saying things like «oh, you’re going to be like that.», and not in a humorous way. Of course if you handle her like that she’s going to be feisty.
She didn’t really seem that interested in finding out what was the problem was since it wasn’t an easy answer like mites.
I spent over a hundred dollars there trying to figure out what is wrong with her, and it’s still inconclusive «Well, I guessss it could be this, we could tryyy antibiotics and see if that works.»
And I thought it was pretty ridiculous for them to charge for another whole visit when I had to bring her back because she got the first diagnosis wrong. I mean, come on. And she was wrong the second time too. They seemed more concerned about the money than anything else.
