I noticed that most of the reviews were dog reviews so as a cat (and turtle)owner I thought I would put my two cents in. I moved here eight years ago and brought my pets to a Breed Apart at the recommendation of my sister and my mom, (owners of five cats and a dog between them), because they highly recommended them. I have to say I haven't been disappointed. They were very caring and went out of their way to make special considerations for my mom who was very elderly. In those eight years one of my moms and one of my cats became very sick and had to be put down. In my moms case they came in on a Sunday on short notice when they were closed when my moms cat was suffering with seizures and dying. They were very compassionate as if we and the cat were a member of the family. In my cats case he was young and suddenly came down with lymphoma and got very sick quickly. They, as someone else said, laid out the situation and all of my options in a kind manner but without sugar coating them which made the bad situation easier to deal with. Currently I have a 21.5 year old cat and they are very good at weighing risk vs benefit as to whether to bring her in or spare her the stress of a visit. They trust my assessment of her (as I must be doing something right)and will take time to discuss things over the phone with me as I treat her at home with meds and subcutaneous IV fluids for her mild kidney failure and arthritis. I have dealt with all three doctors as I usually just ask for the next available appointment and I have the utmost trust in all three of them as well as their staff. Oh, and the turtle. I only had to bring one in once because I suspected pneumonia. While not specialists the doctor I saw (I forget which one) had done her homework before my appointment by consulting a specialist at UW as well as the internet refreshing herself in the latest in assessment and treatment of turtles with pneumonia. I cant say anything bad about them.
