I am so glad I found Dr Kate and her team at Sunset Pet Hospital. My cat had what I'd been told was a cold by one vet and an allergy by another. Dr Kate knew it was something more than that and sent me to a specialist who diagnosed my beloved friend with cancer. I was heartbroken. Everyone at the hospital knew how upset I was and were kind and caring with me even when I was a wreck. Dr Kate did research and encouraged me to try treatment. Thanks to that I had my beloved cat for another 3 years, until she died of old age. I always knew she was in good, gentle hands when I dropped her off for treatments. When it was time to let her go, everyone at the hospital was so sad and I knew they really understood what she meant to me. She is gone now, but I have 2 new kittens who I take to Dr Kate. I hope they never get sick, but I know if they do they will get the best of care. Louise Pros: Really kind and caring people, top notch medically Cons: Some staff turnover and sometimes takes a while to check out

Just so you know this is the first time that I have ever bothered to write a review, but I was so upset that I thought that everyone should know my experience before going. I had recently adopted a domestic kitten from an animal shelter. Unfortunatley a week after we adopted him he broke out in ringworm. I did not know what it was until I went in to sunset pet hospital. The Dr looked at the kitten with a special blacklight and said that she was 90% sure that it was ringworm. (looking at their treatment they outline $180 went to fungal cultures to close that 10% gap) after horrifying me to the point of tears, about the condition, then she had said that the only way to be sure of ridding the cat of this was treatment that would cost up to $500. On top of that, they pushed to give vaccinations, just plain gave him intestinal parisite medication with out asking and for no reason, and flea medication when he had no fleas. They didnt bother to ask if i wanted any of these or to inform me of the costs. They were horrible handling the cat and extremly rough with him especially the nurse. She littleraly shoved the thermometer in his rectum, and they were just medicating the crap out of a perfectly heatly cat that had a very mild fungal infection. I felt like they were just trying to scam me out of my money and said that if i didnt do their treatment for the ringworm that i should just give the cat back to the shelter. i immediatly went home, researched the condition, called several different places and took him to a different vet. Everywhere else i called had no idea what in the world could cost so much to treat that. To treat the kitten ended costing less than $100 total. He was fine after two weeks and is dong great. Oh ya, and they kept calling, and bugging me for the ringworm and more vaccinations even after i told them that i decided to go another direction. If you do

Awesome is a great description of the services, professional atmosphere, and compassion that we have experienced when we have taken our three dogs and multiple cats to Sunset Pet Hospital over many years. Dr. Schottman sets high standards for herself and her staff and it pays off. We only lived one mile from the clinic and then moved 15 miles away. Despite the long drive, we feel it is well worth it to continue attending this clinic to receive the best care possible for our companions. At times, Dr. Schottman and her staff have arrived early and stayed late to provide care for our pets and have done a great job making recommendation to other specialists when the need has occurred. After visits we get frequent check back calls to see how our animals are responding to care provided. Sunset Pet Hospital is a great place to take your pets.

If you are looking for a vet whose first priority is the well being of your pet, we would highly recommend bringing your pet to Sunset Pet Hospital to see Dr. Schottman. We have been a customer of Sunset Pet Hospital for several years and it is a treat to have found a vet that takes the time to thoroughly examine your pet and gives them personal as well as professional care.

I am a difficult consumer to please. Yet I find the personal service and dedication of the doctors (especially, but not limited to Dr. Kate) at Sunset Pet Hospital deserving of my continued patronage. I have never known them to put anything but the best interest of my animals first. When I have to deal with a serious problem with one of my pets, I am glad I have years of a good relationship established with a clinic I know will go an extra mile for my critters.

I love Dr. Kate. She has taken care of my dogs for years, and it is obvious how much she loves the animals in her care. When she comes into the room she gets down at their level to greet them. She is willing to listen to the things that are important to me in my dogs' care. She does not push vaccinations the way that some vets do, just to get you in the door, and, in fact, was one of the first people to send me to the new vaccination guidelines put out a couple of years ago so that I would understand the reasoning behind her recommendations. I find it a little amusing that one if the reviews posted here was written by a former employee who didn;t even mask her name, and the next one mentions a friend of that former employee. I can only say that since these two people are no longer with the practice, the environment is completely different, and the lack of stress in the air is palpable. The doctor does acupuncture too, and is creeped out by some of the natural stuff that I do. I am even more careful about my dogs' care than I am my own, and since I started bringing my dogs to Dr. Kate, I feel like I have finally come home. Top Notch!

I'm a former customer of Sunset Pet Hospital. I tried them out for a few months since they were close to home. One of our dogs was over vaccinated due to the vets documentation errors. And while we were told 'of course there is no charge for that!' it's still inexcusable and could have been a costly health mistake for our dog. We've made appointments and been left waiting in their exam room for over an hour. I would not recommend Sunset Pet Hospital. The front desk staff also provided less than desirable customer service.

I loved (now past tense) Sunset Pet Hospital. There was only one reason that I went there, the main office girl Trina. The prices are more expensive than I am used to, the doctor has no personality, there is never the same staff there from visit to visit. They made a very BAD mistake in letting her go. I will not return.

I was not happy with the vet there. I tried Sunset because it was close to home, but after several months of going there, I've switched back to my old vet. It's a drive, but worth it.

I recently went to Sunset Pet and was less than impressed with the doctors and staff there. I wanted to try them out because they are closer to my home, but I will happily drive into downtown Renton to see my normal vet. For the prices they charge, I expected an exceptional experience. I did not get it. Do not recommend.
