I am not sure what happened to the person who had the bad experience with Rainier Vet, but I'm sure it was a fluke. Rainier Vet has the best staff in Seattle and Dr. Heino is the most compassionate, thoughtful and thorough vet. While it is slightly inconvenient to not be able to make an appointment, the benefit of having a vet who takes time to carefully examine and most importantly, have an informed and unrushed conversation with the owner trumps the wait. I have had three cats and when the first one was sick and drying, Dr. Heino treated her with compassion, gave her pain management in her last days, returned my phone calls when I was questioning "was it time," and took great care and sensitivity in putting her down. I have just adopted a new kitty this weekend and tomorrow morning we are heading off to Rainier Vet for a thorough check-up and make sure we are off to a healthy start.
Pros: Best Staff, Best Vet in Seattle.
Cons: none

I've come here with my pets for 4 years (2 cats and a dog). The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and they treat your pet as if it is their own. The only negative is the fact that you can't make appointments, drop-in only, so you can have no wait time or you may wait several hours. unless you can come early in the morning I would avoid coming in on a Saturday (if you can). Rainier Vet also has affordable boarding services too (but I haven't used them yet). All of my pets have received great care from routine shots to surgeries from cat fights. The prices are about half of what I've paid at other places and the service is better at Rainier Vet then any of the higher-end vets I've been to. Some people might be put off by the decor or the old-school 70's vibe, but I don't go to a vet for the decor. Also, Dr. Heino, Dr. Kung, and Dr. K are all extremely helpful and knowledgeable, especially Dr. Heino, he always goes into detail on how to care for my pets and how to keep them happy and healthy.
Pros: service, care, price
Cons: drop in only can be a long wait
