Dr. Zalewa spent an exceptional amount of time with us, never rushed, and was so patient and thoughtful. What really stood out was how genuinely compassionate she was—she even sat on the floor with my pup to help Fran feel comfortable. That kind of care and presence is rare and deeply appreciated.
As someone who truly values providers who take the time to listen and connect, I can confidently say we’ve found our veterinary home. Thank you, Dr. Zalewa and team, for such a wonderful first experience in Bellingham.
I'll just be sharing the most significant information:
My cat got dental surgery at this facility and afterwards developed a permanent disability called (feline orofacial pain syndrome) FOPS. Several days or weeks after the procedure I told them that he seemed to be pawing and licking at his mouth intensely as if he was in pain, it would even interfere with eating but it was dismissed as nothing but his mouth simply being irritated from the procedure. After several discussions and my concerns continuously being dismissed over the course of months, I had to do my own research to find out about this disorder and there was medication he could have been taking to help with the pain all that time. I wish there was more exploration, urgency, and a better follow up protocol to make sure he healed properly after surgery which he never did.
At a later date my cat was unwell so I brought him in for a check up. He got diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease and I was told this was something manageable and he could live months or even years. Well, he continued to decline so I brought him in again a few days later to find out he likely has cancer and is dying. So imagine being told your cat is sick, but will still be able to live a while longer, then have that torn from you and for them to say he's actually dying right now. In addition, I had been giving him IV's everyday for the kidney disease which seems completely unnecessary in his case as he was terminal. Poking him with needles for nothing. He died the very next day.
Before he died though, I took him in that morning to get a steroid injection to hopefully turn things around and have him perk up and fight the cancer for just a few months longer per their recommendation. When I brought him home he was getting worse and as hours go by I'm thinking I may have to put him down but before that I wanted to call the vet to make sure if the steroid were to be working, it would have by now. I called and when I asked about it, I got told in the most stern and coldest way that he's dying and to just accept that. I think that comment still bothers me to this day. I am not sure if it was a receptionist or one of the vets that said that to me but it felt so careless and cruel during such a sensitive time. All I needed to know is if the steroid would be working by then or not, and I never got that question answered. I had to put him down that evening.
I hope that this facility works on urgency, precision, and tact because if these were properly executed in my case, I would not still be thinking about the treatment my cat had to this day. I truly hope this facility grows and continues to do better.
