Our mission is to offer effective, life-changing treatment to help your beloved feline companion live a longer, happier, and more comfortable life.

We are committed to not only treating the medical condition but also providing a supportive and compassionate experience for you. Another review highlights the excellent care provided to a 17-year-old cat, noting that a long conversation about the cat's health and life helped the owner feel confident about the treatment and his cat's future.

Our clinic offers a comprehensive range of specialized veterinary services, with a primary focus on the diagnosis and treatment of feline hyperthyroidism.

• Feline Hyperthyroid Treatment: We are experts in treating this common condition in cats, offering the most effective and curative option available, radioactive iodine therapy.
• Radioactive Iodine Therapy (Radioiodine Treatment): This is our primary service and a key feature of our clinic. This therapy provides a safe, one-time treatment that often cures the condition, avoiding the need for daily medication.
• Feline Health and Exams: We provide thorough cat examinations and complete physical exams to accurately diagnose and manage hyperthyroidism. Our vet visits are tailored to the specific needs of cats, including senior cat care.
• Diagnostic Services: Our in-house capabilities include blood work, blood testing, urine sample testing, and lab work to get a precise understanding of your cat's health.
• Intensive Care and Surgical Options: We are equipped to provide intensive care and medical treatment. While radioactive iodine is our preferred method, we also offer surgical removal of the thyroid gland as an alternative treatment, which may require general anesthesia.
• Nutritional Management: We provide expert advice on prescription diets and nutritional management to support your cat's health before and after treatment.
• Animal Rescue Partnerships: We are committed to the wider feline community, offering our expertise in treatment for rescued cats and collaborating with animal rescue organizations.
• Medication and Fluids: We provide necessary medications and can administer subcutaneous fluids as part of our care.

For Washington residents, choosing Feline Hyperthyroid Treatment for your cat's care is a decision that can profoundly improve their quality of life. What makes this choice particularly worthwhile?

First and foremost, our specialization is a rare and significant benefit. While many general veterinarians are excellent, they may not have the deep expertise in a specific condition like feline hyperthyroidism that a focused clinic like ours does. This specialized knowledge allows us to offer the most advanced and effective treatment available—radioactive iodine therapy—which can provide a permanent cure and eliminate the need for daily medication, a major relief for both the cat and the owner. This is particularly important for owners who have tried other methods, like medication, and are looking for a definitive, long-term solution.

Second, the level of compassionate and personalized care we provide is exceptional. Our team understands the emotional toll that a chronic illness can take on a family. The reviews from satisfied clients who felt a personal connection with our staff and noted our commitment to treating their pet "like family" speak volumes. This emotional support, combined with our medical expertise, creates a trust-based relationship that is invaluable.

Finally, our convenient location and accessible facility mean that specialized care is not out of reach. We aim to make the process as easy as possible, from initial phone calls to the final follow-up. By choosing us, you are not just getting a vet; you are getting a dedicated partner who is committed to helping your cat live its best life during its twilight years.
