Cedar River Animal Hospital

What Cedar River Animal Hospital does

Cedar River Animal Hospital is a privately held, AAHA-accredited small-animal veterinary practice operating from a single location at 4501 NE 4th St B in Renton, Washington. The practice serves pet owners in Renton and surrounding communities including Issaquah, Bellevue, and Tukwila, providing wellness exams, preventive care, vaccinations, diagnostics, dental care, surgical procedures (including spay/neuter and laparoscopic techniques), ophthalmology, dermatology, behavior counseling, emergency care, end-of-life care, and international health certificates. Its core technical offering combines conventional veterinary medicine with alternative modalities including pet laser therapy, PRP therapy, and stem cell therapy, positioning the practice as an integrative care provider in the local market.

The business is owned and operated by VetCor, a veterinary practice management company headquartered in Norwell, Massachusetts, which provides corporate infrastructure and operational support. Cedar River distributes services directly through its physical hospital, supplemented by digital channels: 24/7 online appointment booking, a PetDesk-powered mobile app for appointment management and prescription refills, and an OurVet online pharmacy for prescription and product fulfillment. The practice generates revenue from professional service fees (consultations, surgeries, dental, emergency, alternative therapies) and product sales (in-house and online pharmacy, microchipping), with pricing set per-service rather than through publicly disclosed fee schedules.

The practice maintains a 4.3-star Google Reviews rating, AAHA accreditation, and an active educational content marketing program covering pet health topics. Named veterinarians include Dr. Majesky and Dr. Herron; Dr. Herron has partnered with the Auburn Valley Humane Society to provide advanced laparoscopic techniques to shelter pets. Office hours are Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm and Saturday 9:00am-1:00pm on alternating weeks.
