Clean and professional. Friendly with my pets. The 5th star was not given as there is never a parking space when I go.

They took amazing care of my very skiddish, anxiety ridden rescue. We even told them on the phone prior that our dog doesn't do well with men because he was abused by one so they made sure to mark his chart saying he was nervous around men. We he came out his tail was wagging and he's been such a happy boy since then
I would highly recommend them to anyone win an animal they love

This place was great. We had called around to so many vets only to be met with "we'll call you back if we deem it an emergency" or straight to voice-mail. Mukilteo Veterinary Hospital answered immediately with kindness, acknowledged our concerns and got an appointment within the week. They called each time they got a cancelation to get our baby in sooner. These people really care about animals. It's not a cash grab for them. It's about the animals and their wellbeing. We will 150% be coming back with all of our animals. Thank you so much to the friendly and understanding staff.
