Urban Animal

Every time we’ve visited the walk-in clinic outside of our normal vet’s hours, our experience has been exceptional. We’ve been seen very quickly and the staff and doctors are all so friendly and compassionate. Highly recommend.

Dr. Peterson took care of my kitty who swallowed a piece of string. She was reassuring, kind, and professional. I am so happy that she did a great job and that he’s going to be okay. The staff are excellent as well. Great place to take your pets!

I had the best experience possible. Front desk was wonderful and friendly. Vet tech was truly interested and took their time. The doctor we spoke with was amazing. She is incredibly smart and confident in her recommendations. We felt very well taken care of. Absolutely love this place I’ll be back and recommend to my friends and clients. They actually cared about my dog. Alex berry was incredibly helpful and compassionate and I feel fortunate to have found these wonderful folks. ❤️, Franklin (Chihuahua) and Lindsay and tomren

We took my girlfriend's cat here in a bit of an emergency. They were able to get him in very quickly and were very kind and thorough. We ended up needing to be transferred to an emergency vet, but Urban Animal was able to transfer information so there wasn't repeated tests and save my girlfriend some money which was very kind. I would highly recommend this vet. My girlfriend will likely be switching to them fulltime once we get kitty healthy again.

We are beyond grateful to have found Urban Animal on Capitol Hill when our regular vet couldn’t fit us in. One of our cats had been struggling with constipation for nearly a week, and the situation was becoming stressful for all of us. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with genuine warmth and professionalism. Myjah and Lexi were exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable — not only with our skittish cat but also with our other one, who was examined as well. Dr. Gambino was thorough, sensitive, and clearly very competent. They quickly identified the issue (a significant buildup) and administered the right treatment, including an enema. They didn’t just solve the problem on the spot — they also sent us home with clear instructions and the supplies we would need to continue care if needed. What stood out most was how human the experience felt. We were seen quickly, treated with compassion, and left with both relief and confidence in the care provided. The facility itself is modern, clean, and well-organized — and an added bonus: they offer free parking, which is rare and very welcome in Capitol Hill! The experience was so positive it honestly makes us reconsider where we’ll take our cats in the future. Thank you, Urban Animal, for treating our little family with such care.
