BIZNOTE: Last day for Admiral Veterinary Hospital

| Pets | West Seattle news

Just got this announcement that Admiral Veterinary Hospital (2231 California SW) is closing after today:

After 30 years, Dr. Don Shaffer has retired (a little earlier than expected – he had originally planned to retire in the fall). Cheryl, a vet assistant who has been at Admiral since 1989, wants to let everyone know that she’s been immensely happy to know and serve all the many cats & dogs (and one turtle) who have come in for treatment. Also, the many, many good people who are their parents. The office will still be open on a limited basis for clients to pick up copies of their records (for at least the first half of April). Please call for coordination of pick-up times at 206-937-4940 (please leave a message).

Ruth, who sent the notice, says she and Pam are retiring; Cheryl will be taking care of her grandson.

Hands down the best bedside manner of any vet I’ve ever been to. I hope retirement treats you well!

I will certainly miss everyone – Don, Cheryl, Ruth and Pam – at Admiral Vet Hospital. I’ve been taking our furry family members there for the past 27 years. “Thank you” just doesn’t cover it for all the love and care you each have shown our family including Zeebah, Rudy, Flossie, Fritz, Millie and Rani. Best wishes in retirement and hope to see you around!

Don, Ruth, Cheryl and Pam all provided excellent, loving, compassionate care for our boy Chubby, and our girl Rosie, throughout their lives.

Such a wonderful assest to the community, human and animal—thank you, you will be missed.

Words cannot express my gratitude for this clinic and Dr, Shaffer and staff. Moved three years ago but they were my vet for 25+ years. Jedda, Bobbles, Izzy, are over the Rainbow Bridge, you gave me permission to let go and compassion after. Old school in a big city, thank you ALL. Now Pat, Elsa and Poppy.
