I have been taking all my animals here for 8 years and the service hasn't changed. Clean rooms, amazingly friendly vet techs and good animal care keeps me coming back! If you live in Lynnwood you should be going to Helping Hands!

The best decision I ever made! Great Service, wonderful staff, an asset to the community!!!! caring to the animals and to me. They really know there stuff. Helping hands is not just wonderful to the animals but also to my checkbook. The prices there can't be beat. I have been to many vets in my life and have never been treated as good and with so much respect as I have with them

By far the BEST place to take your pet! No place compares to the quality service and the price! there is NO other place that even compares. The staff is so friendly and my beagle Sunshine loves to go there to visit. Sometimes we just stop by to get her nails trimmed, other times its for her shots, or possibly an injury. Either way HELPING HANDS is the place to go! The care that they take of your animal is unbelievable! The quality is very high while they keep the costs low. The best thing is you don't have to make an appointment, you just show up with your animal. They also have evening hours by appointment if you need that

Outstanding Vet Services!Care received from the doctors is excellent! I found this gem of a place after searching for alternate treatment for my dog who had a growth on her leg. Dr. G provided excellent care including surgery and subscribed herbal supplements which we were very pleased on how well she did. I was concerned about costs but found that the costs were kept low and the emphasis was more on the quality of life for the pet. I haven't seen equivalent of this at other vets. It is well worth the drive from Renton. We are very thankful for having found Helping Hands and would recommend them to anyone.

Reasonably priced vet care, without an appointment!pet at a reasonable price, it can't be beat! Especially if you are interested in a more holistic or naturopathic approach to your pet's health. A good mix of traditional and alternative animal medicine. My dog has been on non- traditional anti-seizure medication for three years now, and she has been seizure free without sedative side effects!

We learned more in 1 visit than we learned from all our vets over the past 13 years. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The Dr. made us feel much better by explaining everything.

My family and I would like to thank you for the care you have given to both A.J. and Fallon. I couldn't be happier with the quality of care they receive when they see you. It is so evident that all of you are doing something that you are passionate about. On top of the excellent service, you also are the most affordable clinic I have ever been to and will continue to take all of our animal family members to for as long as your doors are open. Thank you for all you do for all the animals AND their loved ones. You are doing a great thing.

Go somewhere else, they killed my cat

DO NOT, I say again, DO NOT allow any pet to be seen by Dr. Goutam Mukherjee, "Dr.G". I brought my 2 year old kitty to this clinic, and was seen by this excuse for a vet. My cat had been cleaning his hindquarters excessively for several days, and was beginning to cry in pain when he moved or jumped over our baby gate. I brought him to this disreputable clinic because of the low prices advertised. After a very cursory, almost non existent, examination of my cat he was diagnosed as having his spine out of alignment and we were sent home after the first adjustment with some pain pills and a bill triple what was mentioned on the website. He was fine for a day or so, then everything started hurting him again. We waited for the second visit a week later and this time it "fixed" him for a few hours. After seeing my cat in pain for too long a time frame, two plus weeks at this point, I took my cat to another vet for a second opinion. The new vet suspected something or other that needed x-rays and sent me to an emergency vet clinic/hospital. After x-rays and observations the emergency vet, the *third* opinion I got, diagnosed my baby (cat) with crystals in his bladder/urine. We got him flushed out in the hopes that it would help him, and vet bills higher than we could pay, we surrendered him back to the shelter we originally got him from and hours later he had passed. I strongly believe that my cat died due to Dr. G's misdiagnosis, and his discounting of the symptoms I relayed to him my cat died. I would have pursued a malpractice lawsuit, but did not, and do not now have the funds available for such a pursuit.



Take your beloved pets somewhere other than this place if you value their life and companionship. I would give this place a negative star rating if possible.

Spend your money ELSEWHERE!!!!

My husband and I have a male cat who is gravely ill... We called around to low cost vet clinics, as my husband has been laid off recently, and is the only source of income for our household. We have 5 children together. When I called Helping Hands, the receptionist informed us an office visit would cost us $43.00. I explained our cat's symptoms to her, and asked approximately how much she thought a visit and diagnosis would cost us... She said, "No more than $75-$100". So my husband and I decided to make an appointment for our cat, since we really wanted a diagnosis of his condition (even though we had a gut feeling it is something fatal). We went in for our appointment and filled out paperwork, which sat in front of the receptionist for almost 10 minutes before she did anything with it. We ended up waiting in their lobby for 20-25min, when they had called US earlier that morning and asked us to move our appointment time UP! The entire time we were waiting in the lobby, our cat was crying, distressed in it's carrying cage, and surrounded by multiple dogs... it was very sad. We were eventually taken back to a room, and finally met the Vet. She was nice and sympathetic, but CLEARLY misinformed. I told her about a kitten I had, who had contracted FIP and eventually died... I also told her that I was 9 months pregnant at the time, to which the Vet said, "Oh my God, pregnant women should NOT be around that!" Now I've had cats my entire life, and I had specifically asked the Vet who cared for my sick kitten if FIP was dangerous for me as a pregnant woman, and the Vet assured me FIP was dangerous to me in no way. It is Toxoplasmosis that is very dangerous for pregnant women!!!!! I did research when I got home from Helping Hands, to see if maybe there was some evidence of FIP being dangerous to pregnant women, and there is NOTHING out there suggesting that! So clearly this Vet is poorly trained... After we met with the Vet, we were told they were going to prepare an estimate for the cost to x-ray and diagnose our cat. We waited several minutes, and the Vet tech came back in with a prepared statement (similar to a car salesman, when they bring you in their written offer on a car, after speaking with their manager). She informed us it would be $258.00 just to diagnose our cat!!!!!!! They wanted $55.00 for the office visit, which I did not understand how that price jumped up $12.00 from the original price I was quoted by the receptionist, they wanted $160.00 for X-RAYS, and $40.00 to sedate our cat! I couldn't believe it! I had spoken about our financial situation to both the receptionist and the Vet tech, and they bring us in a quote like that??? We were so insulted, and felt we had been lied to ... as well as taken advantage of... so we decided to just go ahead and leave. $55.00 later, (which I had to pay with 2 separate credit cards just to afford it), we were told by a Vet who thinks FIP is dangerous for pregnant women, that our cat possibly has cancer, FeLV, or FIV (which he was tested for both as a kitten, with negative results)... Honestly, I have little faith in her diagnosis. And now we sit with our dying kitty, wondering what is killing him, wondering if it's something contagious to our other cat, but really having no answers. PLEASE spend your money at a more professional, "economy conscious", caring clinic!!!!!!!!

Great staff but loooong wait times

Everyone in the office is super nice and caring and I totally trust my pets in their care. The prices are pretty good but my only complaint is the wait times. If you have to bring your pet in on a Saturday or in the evening be prepared to be sitting in the lobby bring a good book!

The place has heart!

I have been going here for a couple of years with my baby Max, and I couldn’t be happier with the place. I like it because the vets there don’t treat you like they are trying to get all my money but genuinely care about my kitty. The place has heart!
