I just wanted to give Lien a double thumbs up. Times are extremely difficult at our house, lack of employment, mounting bills and debts… Our dog has had an ear infection for a few weeks now. We have been trying to treat it at home with ear washes, colloidal silver, etc, but it just hasn’t cleared up. At Christmas, we were given money and decided we would use it on our dog. Over the years Lien has treated our many pets; they have always given excellent care and seemed conscience of containing costs. This time we called ahead to ask about a sliding scale for fees, which they do not have. We asked that if there were any procedures we could do ourselves, they instruct us, instead of paying for them to do it. We asked about ANY way to reduce the fee. We were instructed that, by law, they needed to do an exam prior to prescribing antibiotics. They gave us an estimate and gave us a time to come in. I called around to see if we could find a better deal, but office visit fees are about the same and we trust Lien. True to form, Lien surpassed our expectations again with excellent care and an affordable fee. To save us money, they only charged us for a brief exam and instead of prescribing a more expensive medication, gave us the option of one they could make in-house for less. This was the least expensive vet visit we have ever had at a time when we needed it the most. Thank you Lien, your love and commitment to animals and our community is an asset to West Seattle!
