We have a new Doctor in the office. She is still being mentored by Dr. Otto since she's such a new doctor, but we think she's getting the hand of things, she's even helping to write medical notes!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family at VCA Meadowdale!

We are grateful for Dr. Kacey Joseph from VCA Ben White Animal Hospital sharing with Nicole Cobler about what to (and not to) give to your dog before we all gather around the table this week!

Foods loaded with seasoning, gravy or bones can cause vomiting, diarrhea and other health issues for dogs.

Meet Ice! He's a 6-month-old Golden Retriever who visited us today after he ate mushrooms from his yard.

He loved his churu treat and ended up carrying the paper bowl around with him for the rest of the appointment. Isn't he adorable?

Ice is looking for a home, so if anyone is interested (or knows someone who is) you can contact the owner at 206-492-0202. We cannot release any medical records until the owner lets us know he's been rehomed and that records can be released.

Construction is done! A little late on the update, as I'm sure some of you already have been in and seen the new lobby. But for those who have not, here are the updated photos!

We usually see only dogs and cats here at VCA Meadowdale, but today we had a scaled friend visit.

Meet Slinky! She is a rescue Ball Python that one of our employees took in. We did some x-rays of her today. She enjoyed it much more than we thought. We don't have the equipment that an exotics vet would use to hold her still for x-rays, so we made a pen out of sand bags then asked her really nicely to hold still. She didn't understand at first but after a few minutes she figured it out.

So if you see her around the hospital today, don't be alarmed. She is very friendly. Although, most of the day she will be in her travel set up, you might see her in passing as she hangs out with staff. Check out this cool x-ray!

From playful puppy to golden-age senior, see how your pet’s diet should evolve as they grow.

His mom was here for an exam and vaccines. We got bonus kitten patients!
Although I do think he may have been judging us, if only a little. He's so adorable though, so we'll let it slide. 😍

Learn some new signs to communicate with your dog!

11/05/2025

Those big sighs live rent-free in our homes... but they are a way that your dog is communicating with you, so let's listen up to what they're trying to express to us!

Thank you for sharing everyone!! She was found and reunited with her family!!! Yay!

Hey everyone! We have a pet that needs help!

Meet Ember. On Halloween her family had a huge fire at their house. During this their dog ran off. She is still dragging her leash behind her that they placed on her to get her out of the fire. She's been seen on and off since then running and very scared. She is microchipped and an employee here has the ability to contact the owner when she is found. If anyone sees her please go to the Bothell Community page and let them know. Alternatively, you can post your findings on our page and we'll pass them along.
I know Bothell and Kenmore are not Lynnwood, but they are our neighbors and not very far away, so it's very possible that she could wander this way or even when traveling we might run into her. Keep an eye out everyone! And Share!

Thank you!

Upgrades are moving quickly! We now have the dog rooms open again, yay! Our main lobby is also almost done, just waiting on the finishing touches. Once everything is complete we'll post a true before and after post. Almost there! Thank you for your patience everyone!

Construction update!

Thank you all for being so patient with us working out of the cat lobby only while the top portion of the hospital gets redone! We have photo updates for you!

I cannot wait to see it when everything is done!

Does your pet hate the cone a.k.a. "The Cone of Shame?" We now have bodysuits for recovery after surgery here at VCA Meadowdale. So if your pet has had (or is going to have) an abdominal surgery (like a spay) or some other surgery that a bodysuit would cover, and you want to try our new surgery recovery suits instead of a cone, let us know! We have them in multiple sizes. We even have some that are made for male dogs to make life easier when they need to go out to use the restroom.

*A surgery recovery suit may not be recommended for all surgeries or all patients. Some patients do great with them and prefer them over the plastic cone, but others might not.*

Our helpful models today are Nina (black) and Clover (Brown, multiple colored). And don't worry, they were compensated with treats and pets.
