What is Urban Animal? We’ve been asked, “are you an urgent care?” or “can Urban Animal be my GP?” The answer is “yes” and “yes”. Urban Animal is keenly skilled to provided veterinary medicine in urgent situations and is candidly knowledgeable to handle all your preventative care and general wellness needs. Urban Animal can be both. Aside from not offering hospitalization or intensive 24-hour care, Urban Animal is a one-stop shop where patients for those patients who are really sick and need urgent help; those patients who are happy and healthy; and any of those patients in between.
At Urban Animal, our team does not UPSELL, but rather offers an option-based approach in everything we do, and we do that with some of the industry’s best and skilled professionals.
In the fall of 2023, Urban Animal embarks on something truly different – in the veterinary industry and the U.S. – a workers’ cooperative. In the last decade, there has been an insane influx of private equity and venture capital into the industry which has drastically changed the trajectory of how veterinary medicine is delivered and what it costs.
As a workers’ cooperative, Urban Animal is poised to keep how veterinary medicine is practiced and who influences how the industry evolves in the hands of those on the frontlines – veterinary professionals not a faceless cadre focused solely on the bottom line. Urban Animal Cooperative strives to be sustainable and transparent with a democratically-governed organization where employees have a voice in how the company grows, keeping pets, people and profits in harmony.

How Urban Animal delivers veterinary care is by embracing convenience, in its multifarious definition and subjective interpretation. First, convenience in our walk-in model promotes a fast-paced environment, respectful self-advocacy, and economically-priced services with the flexibility of same day service. Secondly, convenience also thrives in our appointment model which promotes an opportunity to schedule dedicated time with enhanced conversations in a more relaxed space when more time with the veterinary team is desired and financial resources are more fluid.
Regardless of model, Urban Animal’s veterinary team provide compassionate, option-based veterinary care by professionals with extensive experience in the field of veterinary medicine. We are passionate about providing accurate information regarding your pet’s health, while also presenting a range of treatment options. Currently with three convenient locations in Capitol Hill, Downtown Seattle, and White Center – with FREE PARKING – Urban Animal is not your everyday veterinary practice and you’ll sense the difference the moment you step through our front door.
