About Us

Atlantic Veterinary Hospital was established in the 1960s on Atlantic Avenue in Seattle. Dr. David Batteiger, its beloved owner since 1985, retired in 2010 and passed the torch to new owner, Dr. Laura Monahan.

“I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs… [They] are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty.”

-Dr. James Herriot (Scottish veterinarian and author, 1916-1995)

Atlantic Veterinary Hospital’s mission remains unchanged: to provide you and your pets with quality medicine, exceptional service, and a compassionate and caring veterinary experience.

We’d like to be your pet’s family doctor.

Experienced veterinarian, Dr. Rob Echentile, joined Dr. Monahan and the dedicated nursing and client service staff at Atlantic Veterinary Hospital. He brings his own talents and professional interests, allowing us to expand the services and experience we offer.

Atlantic Veterinary Hospital is located in Seattle’s Rainier Valley at 2115 – 23rd Avenue South.
