8 reviews for Emerald City Emergency Clinic
I lost my best friend on Thursday night. We came back from a nice dinner at Cactus and Cosmo didn't come downstair to greet us. We thought it was a little odd but his hips have been giving him a hard time and at 13 he's slowed down a bit. We came up and found him in the bathroom just staring at the toilet. When my wife bumped into him he fell over and I got that sinking feeling. A few seconds later we got him to stand up but then he pooped all over the floor. We called Emerald City and got him in the car but we were pretty certain this was it.
We were met a the door by a really sweet tech. she came out with a gurney and took him upstairs. She put us in the the room that my friend who lived near there used to call the "sad room"(very accurate). The vet whose name i can't remember was patient and offered us several diagnostic options but when we asked if he thought it was time for us to let our buddy go he said yes and made it clear that he felt we were making the right decision.
The process was very calm and they gave us lot's of time to reminisce with Coz. We joked about how we got put on probation by the Post Office when he was a puppy because he scared the mail carrier by barking. We remembered all the good walks he'd had. And then when we were ready, the doctor very gently sat down with us and helped Cosmo pass. He and the tech were patient and supportive.
This was literally one of the worst days of my life and it's still hard to talk about. But at least Emerald City was there to make this bad moment go as easily as possible.
I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
I had to take my dog here for an emergency visit a couple weeks ago when her normal vet didn't have any openings. The vet on staff proceeded to yell at my girlfriend saying that our dog was from a puppy mill and should be returned. She claimed my dog had a genetic disorder (without running any tests I might at) and would never be normal. Needless to say, I'm not coming back here again.
We ended up taking the dog to another vet and no, she doesn't have a genetic disorder. The problem was a parasite.
Like the other reviewers, I wish I had never had to go to the clinic. But I did, and the staff there were wonderful to us in a very difficult time.
My 20 year old cat had suffered a stroke the night before, and he was in bad shape. I was a wreck with grief, and we had no choice but to do the right thing and let him go in peace. The staff treated us with respect, and gave us all the time we needed to be with him at the end. They took just the right tone and made a very difficult event much easier on us.
I hope that you never have to use their services, but if you do, I highly recommend them.
Emergency pet care is never fun. We recently took a pet here and while he got good treatment, all the other stuff was lacking.
Basically they seem like the know and practice pet medicine competently, but the bed side manor is is completely lacking.
Honestly, next time i'll go back to Acces on Lake City.
It is unfortunate that I have to write this, but I've had to take my dog to Emerald City a couple of times over the past 6 years and they've always done a great job getting her stitched back up (figuratively and literally).
In both cases (one involved my dog basically going into shock from a bee sting) they gave me good information about the situation and what to do (if anything) regarding care going forward.
Yes, the prices are quite high, but it's emergency care, so think of it like when you have to visit the ER. It's not fair to compare it to your regular vet bills. So if you find yourself in an emergency and can't get to your regular vet, this is the place to go in Seattle.
used them twice - both times very professional - high-quality service.
most recently I had a cat who suffered a urinary tract blockage - there were complications involved - but everything came out fine.
in the process dealt with a number of different doctors and other staff (at all hours of the day) - everyone was competent, professional and friendly.
highly recommended.
It is too sad for me to write much about this place.
They euthanized one very sick kitty many year ago for me and handled his cremation.
A while ago, they handled the cremation of another kitty.
They are extremely compassionate without being too much. They handle you gently.
Hopefully, you won't need to use their extreme services but I would take a pet here in an emergency situation in a heart beat.
I've taken my cat here twice for a couple of serious problems. The staff tells you what is wrong and what action they're taking and they're nice and very clear about it. Like the other dude here said, don't expect a cheap price tag. If you give a shit about your animal pals take them here.
