Advanced animal clinic has always been great for us. We have had to have pets put down and they were so kind. They are always wonderful with the dogs we have. Only wish they worked with rabbits! read more

I took my senior cat here for having urinary problems. They did a whole exam on him was $400 which is ridiculous. I'm originally from Indiana which was a little over $100 there. They gave me a bag of saline to inject him and they wanted me to come weekly for more medication and everything. I asked the vet if the water filter affects all of that since I heard the same situation happen from a coworker about his senior cat. He told me no and I know he lied to me. Just the way he looked at me. I changed water I had to one with a filter and a day later my cat was back to normal and acting like a kitten again all playful and happy. So I ditched everything from them and will never be going back. All they want is your money and even the ladies at the counter seemed miserable. And my senior cat is extremely friendly and loves everyone........to an extent. He's still a cat so there is a line. Well she was talking about how he's so much like a dog with how lovable he is. Well she wouldn't stop treating him like a dog and he was getting mad and I told her to let him go since she was holding him. And she told me but he likes it. NO HE DOESN'T. He's my freaking cat I know him, let him go. She was excessive and would not stop leaving him alone. Does he look like a freaking dog to you? No. Her plus the vet that lied to me and that they constantly just wanted my money when I could just fix it by a simple water filter. Yeah don't come here for senior cats or just don't go there at all. read more

The staff here was amazing with my dog's end of life care, they were professional all while being sensitive during euthanasia and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way for my dog. They've done a great job to my current puppy as well! read more

Terrible!! Should not be treating any animals. They are not professional and I don't think they even have had enough schooling in veterinary medicine. Please take your pets somewhere else!! read more

was told to call them for them to only tell me the same thing, which is im not getting my refund what a way to run a business read more

See all

Great service in a pinch!! My girl was in need of antibiotics and they got her in the next day despite local vets being incredibly busy and booking weeks out. Our regular vet didn't even attempt to get us in since we hadn't been in within the past year. Guess it looks like we'll be switching vets! read more

I had to have my cat put to sleep there after there was nothing we could do. The vet and staff were really nice and honest. We had her cremated and we were expecting a box or urn. They sent us a condolence card (normal) but the whole staff signed it. We went today to pick up her ashes and it was a wood box that had her name engraved and they put her hair (in plastic) in the card and made a paw print for us. They understand that it's not just a pet, it's a family member. I would send anybody I know to them. read more

This place has always cared for our pets! For many years, we brought our cat and dog for their routine check ups. Customer service is excellent and they treat our pets with so much love. We now have another pet, so while look elsewhere when i know my pet will be taken care of with lots of puppy love. read more

Advanced Care Animal Clinic is a great clinic to take your pets!! All of the doctors and staff are wonderful! Everyone handles my pets with care and genuinely listens to my concerns. Definitely recommend! read more

OVERPRICED & INCOMPETENT‼ ~ my family started taking one of our dogs here a couple years back for allergy issues. During that time they had been good in administering her allergy injection as well as some follow-up daily medication. A few months back, another one of our dogs had a major issue with cystine crystals in his urinary track. My wife call them & asked them specifically if this was something they could help with.. they assured her that this was something they could absolutely resolve & to go ahead and bring him in. $900 later they were able to resolve absolutely NOTHING! Thank God a veterinary clinic in Bellingham was able to help him. Thought I would give them another chance, so I took our first dog back to get her allergy shot & medication today. To my surprise, they wanted to charge me % more for the same services I had purchased just months ago. $400 for an allergy injection & some medication- NO THANKS‼ read more

We recently moved to area and I've taken two of my dogs to this clinic. My first experience was much more positive than my second. I saw two different vets on both occasions. The first vet was excellent and more than willing to listen and convey all our options for our aging dog. We were very pleased with how she handled our case. The second vet we saw did not seem to listen to anything we had to say and it felt more like a used car sales experience. Our pet needed a small external mass removed. We felt the treatment plan was extreme and unnecessary given this was not the first time we had these types of issues addressed. The pricing was even more outrageous- especially for what was needed. We ended up taking our dog to another vet to handle the issue. The level of care we received at the operating clinic was much more through, less invasive and less than 1/4 of the cost. read more

I moved to the area last year and had my veterinarian all picked out. I went there a couple times but the overall experience was average and they were booked out months in advance. So I went looking for somewhere else, I tried a few until I found and fell in love with Advanced Care Animal Clinic. These people truly care about your pet! My dog actually likes going there and all of the veterinaries are amazing. My dog has had a bout of health issues lately and they have been wonderful and still mindful of the cost. I cannot say enough about how incredible this office is to both the pets and the people. If you are looking for a vet, look no further! You won't find anyone better! read more

Very friendly staff!! The Dr was very informative and detailed about my Cat's health exam. She was so gentle and I felt like she genuinely cared. read more

My yellow lab Cooper has gone here since he got his first shots at about 8 weeks old! The techs and doctors are amazing. I don't trust anyone else with my furbaby. They are a bit pricey- but definitely worth it. Anytime Ive had a 911 with Cooper they've been able to get him in ASAP during business hours and always call to check up on him after. The staff has always been super helpful with how happy and hyper he is to see them. Melissa is always amazing and has been our favorite vet tech since Cooper was a baby. Even when we have 2 or 3 emergencies I call the clinic right away (if during business hours) and they have ALWAYS got cooper in either within that day or the next day. If you want your pet to be well taken care of, choose Advanced Care! read more

They are so good at what they do and they really care. They work with you and your pet and are very understanding. They are quick to answer all my questions and never make your pet feel uncomfortable. I have recommended them to several people. Best vet ive been to!! read more

My guinea pig got mites about a year and a half ago and this was one of the only vets I could find in the area that treated guinea pigs. The vet that treated my guinea pig, Evelyn Wilson, was really nice. Since treating mites require multiple treatments, I had to come back 3 or 4 times for ivermectin treatments, and then one final skin scraping. On my last visit, after the skin scraping, I was charged a full exam fee + a final ivermectin injection. This kind of surprised me, since the skin scraping only took a couple minutes and I thought it would just be included in the first exam fee I paid. But, I paid it and my guinea pig has been fine ever since. I'm not sure if I'll take any other pets, such as dogs or cats, here, but if I ever have an exotic animal with problems again, I'll definitely come back. read more

So impressed by Advanced Care Animal Clinic and their staff. We recently had to put my 16 year old Aussie, Bingo, down and not only did they give us as much time with him as we needed on his last day, a few days later they sent us a rock with Bingo's name engraved in it. Along with that, the vet sent a card with a hand written note saying sorry for our loss and a ink print of Bingo's paw print without us asking. They truly care! Thank you guys so much. read more

Advanced Care Animal Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Arlington, Washington

Advanced Care Animal Clinic has been a godsend for us! Our rescue dog is fear reactive. And vet visits have not always gone well for us. They have been so great to work with both for his medical care as well as cooperative veterinary care training with Sarah. We have been on hold for in person training or appts that I am allowed to attend due to the pandemic, but I know he is in safe hands when I have to drop him off for care without me. Cannot say good enough things! read more

When I heard my dog crying out from the back room, I knew I wouldn't be coming back, I gave them two chances and no more. If they can't take a blood sample without hurting my dog....? maybe that's why they don't do it in front of you... like my old vet did. bad place, even the fake smiles on the receptionist face told me that they are in a bad working environment.something is wrong there and another vet near there has 5 stars, why bother chancing it with your pets life. read more

Dr Kennedy and her staff were super helpful and compassionate when I called for help. No other vets in the area had time to fit my cat into their schedule. Not even my own vet who had seen my kitty over the years. My kitty needed immediate care and assessment. Dr Kennedy was efficient and very helpful. Unfortunately my kitty had a heart problem so she passed, the staff was kind and compassionate and very helpful. read more

ACAC got me in because we had an emergency situation, even though I had never been there and I had called many vets, including our previous vet, and none would even try to squeeze us in. ACAC seems to focus on making their four legged patients comfortable as well. Dr. Kennedy kept me apprised of the options for my very sick old dog Scruffy, and really helped through the whole process. I am sorry to say we ultimately had to have Scruffy euthanized, and they were very kind and caring. I wish I had found her much sooner. This is a great place to care for your pet's medical needs and I think their prices are more reasonable than others. read more

They are good for normal minor procedures but if you don't want to lose your loved one/pet go somewhere like the emergency animal clinic in Lynwood. My cat had a large tumer on her shoulder. They told me this was something they could handle and i had been going there for awhile with multiple animals. To make a long story short they don't have blood at the clinic in case an animal looses too much in surgery. So when the vet hit an artery they stopped the bleeding, wrapped her in warm water and told me i had to rush my dying cat to Lynwood from their smoke point location. She died before i got there. Had i known they didn't have blood i never would have let them operate on my baby read more

I liked this place at first, came here a few times for checkups and immunizations for boarding. However, this is NOT the place to go if you are a new pet owner and therefore not perfect in how things go. My dog had just been boarded and displayed a cough afterwards, so assuming it was kennel cough, I asked a friend of mine who is an animal professional if I needed to bring him in to the vet, and she said that it's not necessary right away, it will often run it's course, lots of water and fresh air; if it gets worse or is still there after 2 weeks bring him in. OK - check. There was an already scheduled blood draw for him today, and it didn't even occur to me any issues with him having the cough (which has already begun to get better than it was), but all hell broke loose. The receptionist made passive-aggressive comments to me, shaking her head and scoffing, while the vet tech was in the middle of talking to me about it. I felt horrible about making the mistake, but I was made to feel shamed and horribly embarrassed, plus talked down to like I was 5 years old and therefore needed a "dumbed down" chat. I also didn't recall being talked to about bringing my dog on a leash at my last appointment but the vet was super adamant that she spoke to me about it and documented it. I have zero qualms with admitting when I make mistakes, but I also refuse to be treated so poorly and as though I am a horrible pet owner. Bed-side manner is not just for your patients, especially with a vet, the owners need to be included with that. They won't give a crap if we return, and this review will likely become a joke to them because there was ZERO apology for how I was treated. In fact when I said we wouldn't be coming back she merely replied with "yeah I figured" and could have cared less. I know I was feeling defensive because of how embarrassed I felt, but that embarrassment was compounded ten-fold by the personal treatment of the staff. Point being - if you are well versed in all aspects of pet ownership and you are immune to making mistakes, this place is fine. Otherwise, find a place that welcomes new pet owners with patience and just as much respect as seasoned ones. Especially for being on the higher end price-wise. PS: forgot to mention the staff member also told another customer with a dog that I exposed his dog to the kennel cough virus, right in front of me. read more

I've been taking my pets here for over 10 years! This place is amazing!!! Melissa, whom works at the from desk.... has been there the whole time and has the best smile in the world!! All the Veterinarians and staff alike are priceless!!! I drive past over a dozen vet clinics to come here.... and so should you. I promise... your pet will love you for it!!! read more

Excellent care, compassionate staff, and this clinic accepts Care Credit, which makes it much easier to deal with urgent situations my bank account my not be prepared for! I appreciate the doctors' willingness to thoroughly discuss a pet's status and treatment options so that I feel well-informed and confident when we make treatment decisions as a team. read more

Advanced Care is an excellent clinic. They care for your animal as if it were their own. The staff is patient and kind. They handle tough (potentially expensive) situations well without pushing you to spend more than you are comfortable. They give you all the options without bias. My cat was well cared for his entire life and my dogs currently love them dearly. read more

Staff was very nice and wanted to make sure my 6 wk old sib huskeys were well taken care off. They also have a good deal on the puppy package that takes care of all shots and and other things you need as a new puppy owner. read more

We have been with this clinic threw thick and thin. Lost a pug due to their inability to properly provide a stable med off of repeated visits sharing the nature of seizures of our Pug was experiencing. Unfortunately it was too late and after a grand mall seizure our dog only had half of his side useful, we had to put him down up at the Emergency Pet Hospital in Mount Vernon, Sad! Most recently I called them with an emergency condition of our second, but older pug throwing up with a bloody stool, they said they were full and could not help. We were diverted to Snohomish Pilchuck Vet Hospital. Long story short, I may have been under stress with a very sick pet so when talking with them emotion (losing the last pug just a year ago, it's still raw) was driving my conversation, So now they send me a letter telling me to find another vet, I guess due to pointed conversations about my dissatisfaction. So sad for them. Prior incident was with bringing my pug in for a needed vaccination and I decided to have them cut his nails. Bad idea!, After the screams of my helpless stressed out pug coming from the back room, I ventured back to see four (4) techs trying to restrain and cut his nails as he screamed in resistance. I shut that down and made it clear that "your going to make him pass out!" the procedure stopped, and I took my stressed out pug home. 6 months later they come out with this "Fear Free" method of service. Now they entice your beloved pet with processed cheese and gobs of peanut butter to be able to induce this "Fear Free" method. Customer has to deal with the puking up of this stuff on a car ride home, another downer. Just want to thank Dan (Owner) and his staff for making the decision for us to depart before we lose another pet do to their inability to use normal practices to treat our beloved Pugs. read more

While on vacation we were in need of a vet for our dog. Looking on Yelp we found Advanced Care Animal Clinic in Arlington which had good reviews. The receptionist was helpful and concerned and able to get us an appointment the next morning. Dr. Kennedy and her assistant were compassionate and so very good with our anxious dog, sitting down on the floor with him and distracting him while at the same time performing an examination. She also explained the Fear Free program in which they had been trained. The doctor diagnosed our dog's problem and prescribed appropriate meds. Their prices are very reasonable especially compared to the greater Seattle area. Although we live about an hour away, we are seriously considering returning to the Advanced Care Animal Clinic as we were so impressed with all aspects of this clinic. read more

Dr Evelyn Wilson has been our vet since the early 2000's and I will stay her client until she retires! Hopefully never. The medical assistants and front office staff are very friendly. Dr Wilson is smart beyond her years and I will continue to refer friends to her! Anyone who needs a great Veterinarian, go see her! read more

OK when it comes to the basics and friendly service. But, having any king of surgery done here is taking a risk. At least they absorbed the cost of the re-surgery on one pet and the botched surgery leading to death on another pet. But there's no way to compensate us for the pain and suffering our pets endured. Now we have a partially crippled dog and another who died after having dental work done because they sent him home drowning in his own blood and told us he was just nervous from the anesthesia. read more

I would rate this 0 stars if I could. I brought my puppy in there for his first round of shots and purchased the puppy package for about 260-300 dollars. I assumed that the neuter would be included. So after 6 months I took him in to get his blood work a day before his neuter and microchip and it was another $75. I then dropped my puppy off the next morning for the neuter and microchip...I received a call telling me he was ready around noon and to come pick him up anytime after 3 and was told nothing else. When I came to pick him up they told me it would be another $471. He did have an ear infection and a little rash that he was given antibiotics for that added to the cost slightly, but over 800$ for just a puppies shots and neuter seems outrageous. Also, to not be quoted one time is pretty unprofessional in my opinion and to expect someone to have that kind of money on hand seems crazy too. My friend brought her puppy to a vet in Mt. Vernon where she got a puppy package with a spay included and a years worth of check ups for 325$ and her girl had the same rash problem as my puppy and was only charged an extra 19$. Now because of these costs I'm struggling to even pay my bills. These kind of charges should be considered criminal. That's all I have to say about this place. read more
