Fall City’s Snoqualmie Valley Animal Hospital

Well, I’ve taken my animals to SVAH since they first opened almost 15 years ago. I heard that Dr Teri had sold her business but hadn’t gone down to check them out.
My experience was not so much bad as just sort of creepy. I gave them one star because I have always appreciated the staff, and honestly don’t know why they are still there. I don’t think the options I was given for a simple pad tear for my dog’s foot were in the best interest of my dog. I don’t know what’s going on there but I will not be going back.

We have been taking our pets to SVAH for almost nine years. We first saw Dr. Teri, and now see Dr. Khera and Dr. Parker. I haven’t noticed any change in fees charged since the practice changed hands. Veterinary care is expensive, and if you don’t want a procedure or test done, you simply have to ask. I have always found my wishes respected.
Laurie always does a wonderful job explaining what’s going on, and she listens to any concerns. My dogs also love Marco; he’s very kind and gentle with them.
Someone from the office always calls to check up after a visit, even if it’s just for a vaccination, to make sure my dogs are doing well. That’s better care than I get from my doctor.
We’ve moved since we started going to SVAH, but I make the longer drive, because I trust them with my dogs.

I miss Dr. Tery! Before they offered awesome and affordable care for our pets. Now, they seems out to get every last dollar out of you. I recently called to have our beloved family pet euthanized. Dr. Tery saw this pet and others for years.
After talking to Laurie about whether or not we needed an appointment, she dropped right into the costs associated with the cremation. After which she said she thought the euthanasia appointment would free since we were clients but she would have to check. After a few minutes she came back and said that the appointment would be $ 275.
WTF?!? Not only did you jump into discussing costs without being prompted (extremely insensitive), but then you tell me it’s free only to change it to be 3 times more than any other vet hospital in the valley (I know, I checked).
Loved, Loved Loved Dr. Tery! But unfortunately she is no longer there, and this place has turned for the worse.

We have had two very bad experiences at this vet clinic. When our neighbor’s cat was stuck under their garage door, we rushed him to the SVAH and he was x-​rayed and given a steroid shot — $ 550!!!
We should’ve learned from this experience, but instead gave them another chance and took our tiny, 17-​year-​old cat in to be checked for 1) itchiness, and 2) wheezy breathing sounds. The vet/​tech sold us a bunch of tests, which was fine, but they did not get our permission to do a urine draw! They stuck a needle through her abdomen and there was no urine. They did not apologize for not asking for permission. Finally, the vet paid no attention to the breathing issue at al! Again, vet bill $ 400 for a whole lot of nothing. Will never go back.
