  • Dr. Onorati is THE REGIONAL EXPERT with treating heartworm. Their prices were more than fair. I absolutely loved their staff. Everyone was so kind and compassionate during a time I was deeply worried about my pooch. I highly recommend them.

  • I used to live fairly close to this veterinary hospital, but now that I've moved over an hour away in normal Seattle traffic I still take my cats here. They are awesome. They are affordable. And they are compassionate. This is by far the best veterinarian I have ever encountered.
