Review from Courtney H.

Okay, first a little disclaimer, this clinic is by appointment only! No walk ins! I don't know if that's a common thing in Seattle since I just moved here, but I'm used to just walking into a vet clinic. Not so here... but on to my review!
First off like I said, definitely a by appointment place. Needless to say, I walked in very worried because (not to get too graphic but...) my dog had some major diarrhea. He was also peeing all over the place and it was pretty much just a disaster. I looked into vets on google and yelp and this one came highly recommended and supposedly affordable. The receptionist was very friendly, and when she realized I didn't have an appointment, she worked to try and fit me in as soon as possible. Even better, when Dr. Schaffer came out early from the previous appointment, he offered to see my dog anyway! Very cool.
Dr. Schaffer was extremely nice and the vet tech seemed very competent as well. Bottom line is that my dog had some bacteria or something going on, and they gave him a shot of cortisone, a week's worth of antibiotics, and bland canned food for the next three days for 80 bucks. I feel like I got away with a steal! The doc was extremely cool with my dog, and even asked if I lived near by. If I did, he was going to recommend me stopping by a couple of times a week for a doggie biscuit so my dog would get to know him and his staff better and be less skittish next time.
Bottom line, very cool and polite staff, they really worked to help me out, and Dr. Schaffer was awesome with my dog. He's not necessarily the most people friendly guy, but he's very polite and obviously cares about the animals. I will be going here for the rest of my time in Seattle, for sure. Highly recommended. -

I couldn't ask for a better vet for my dog and two cats. Dr. Shaffer came highly recommended by an Australian vet friend and we've been going to his office for years. The office may seem like a place you'd pass right by, but Dr. Shaffer and his staff are wonderful. The annual check up services are affordable and scheduling has never been a problem for us. Dr. Shaffer doesn't mind that I hold one of my skittish cats whilst he does the exam, although I think she's starting to warm up to his staff. Dr. Shaffer has been great with odd requests for fecal exams and specific lab tests (required by doggie daycare) as well as things like forta flora (when he's had the runs and I don't think he needs a vet visit). Also, which other vet will make out with your dog and give him extra treats?

I'm on my third tabby cat with Dr. Shaffer and even though I moved from West Seattle to North Seattle 12 years ago, I still make the trip over. He has a way of putting even the worst patients at ease and makes the whole procedure a quick and painless experience for both me and my cat.

My pets love Dr. Shaffer and we think he's a very nice guy. Prices are very fair, visits are quick and friendly. My dog always gets a kiss and dog treat from Dr. Shaffer and I'm sure she'd be more than happy to just go home with him since he's always super loving to her.
