I’m still new to this clinic but I appreciate their reliability and responsiveness. My only complaint is their prices- especially for meds, tests, and X-rays. They are amongst the highest prices - if not THE highest - I’ve ever paid anywhere else (and we used to live in Bellevue!) In my most recent experience they charged me &52.00+ for a probiotic that I could have bought off Amazon for $21.00. And their fecal was $89! Next time I will certainly be asking ahead of time about any over-the-counter meds that I can purchase myself.

I have nothing but good things to say, from the moment I walked in to the end of the appointment everyone was so nice and kind to my puppy and I. Nurse and Vet were knowledgable and patience with my puppy. I highly recommend Wilderness Animal Hospital.

When I first got my puppy Archie, I turned into “that” dog mom, he is treated like my own child and incredibly spoiled and honestly holds such a huge place in my heart. This vet has been absolutely amazing in understanding that, answering any questions when something arose and was worried etc. A couple weeks back Archie got a bladder infection and they got me in the same day with their emergency exam appt. Which is very hard especially with short staffed vets. Dr. Tate was extremely kind and helped me through the process being a stressed dog momma. He does prescribed antibiotics right away

I'm not sure if they have new management but it's not what it used to be, and it's disappointing. I've been taking my dog here for over 14 years and getting her nails trimmed by them. Millie is deaf, and has severe anxiety and it's very difficult to get her in and out of there. Upon calling to schedule a nail trim I was put on hold and another person came on to inform me she needed an annual exam and rabies shot before they would do the trim. I begged them that she won't be around much longer, as her health is failing and she just needs her nails trimmed so she can walk more comfortably around

My boy usually doesn’t do well in vets after his emergency trip for a surgery after being attacked, but this clinic made him feel safe and loved! They’re fairly priced, and they take every measure to make sure we had everything we needed to help treat him. I’m so happy we found a vet that we BOTH love!!

If you can get your animal here, do. Best people, best doctors, and Carol is the best administrator a place could ask for. Used to work for the company that owns this place, and this is the one location I would happily send people. Can't say enough good about Wilderness. When they say they care.. the actually do. No lies, no salesmanship, just people caring about your pets as their own.

Wilderness Animal Hospital has served us well over the last few years. However, Wilderness is at capacity right now so can only make appointments a couple weeks out, meaning they will refer you to emergency care for non-emergencies.
My 4-year old dog had a seizure last night so we took him to Blue Pearl Emergency Animal Hospital to rule out any immediate life threatening issues. We hoped that our regular vet (Wilderness) would be able to quickly get us in for a more thorough evaluation, bloodwork, etc. We have to wait nearly two weeks. I would understand this for a rash, but for a seizure? Yikes

We’ve recently just established care here after moving and the first order of business was to get my kitty spayed. My cat, who doesn’t usually like strangers, was only given compliments and warm comments about how great and sweet she was. Clearly she was very comfortable here which speaks volumes! Her surgery was done well and she’s been healing perfectly. Our vet is knowledgeable, professional, but still kind and personable. I can’t wait to get my dogs in as well to establish care! I’d trust them with all of my beloved furry friends. If my cat likes you: you’re clearly doing something

We are so impressed with Dr. Teri for many reasons. She is very personable and honest and made us feel like we have known her for years. We just picked up our golden and because of vet tech Samantha we drove 1/2 away from our home to visit the clinic. We have had several Golden's and we were looking for a clinic that we could have a solid relationship of trust, compassion and not another wallet to be drained! We found it!!! Thank you all for all your great service for our Ruby Rae.
