We were patients at SODO Veterinary Hospital for about 10 years, going back to when it was Kirkpatrick. For many years, we loved the practice and always felt our animals were well cared for.

I blame Sodo vet for the death of poor Pulga. They prescribed meds for her 2 days later she started having seizures. And they have the nerve to tell me it had nothing to do with it.
