★★★★★ I just want to take a moment to say how stellar the doctors and staff at companion RN have been to our sweet Teddy since the first day we took him in. Dr. Courville has been a pleasure to work with. She is so kind and very knowledgeable. It's evident she has a big heart and truly cares about her clients and their pets.The clinic staff are always so gentle and kind to their furry clients, and most even remember our pets name upon arrival (a very special and welcoming touch). On top of that, the providers and technicians, despite being so busy, always make time to answer my (anxious cat mom) questions, and that means a lot to me. Very appreciative of the care Teddy has received at Companion.Sahar E.Sahar E. ★★★★★ Cosmo, Dr. Bryant and Alex truly exceeded my expectations.

Overall wonderful experience.Celine G.Celine G. ★★★★★ My normal vet cancelled my international health certificate appt day of and Companion Animal Hospital was able to not only schedule me a same day appt due to urgency but also make sure everything was in order. Dr. Kaya Bryant was wonderful, knowledgable and great with my pup. We were impressed with their service and cleanliness. We also appreciated the entire staffs' willingness to help us and understand our needs. The vet techs and front desk staff were also knowledge with their services and friendly.

Going to the vet is stressful for everyone involved and when I arrived they made me feel so relaxed. You can just feel their love for animals the minute you walk in. My vet tech was fabulous!

I plan on taking my cat back for her annual check ipa and any emergencies.Michelle P.Michelle P. ★★★★★ Companion Animal Hospital was able to get my rabbit an appointment right away. I called three other exotic animal hospitals and no one had appointments available. The staff and Dr. were wonderful!!! They really care about the animals they treat.

I highly recommend this hospital!!!yvette Z.yvette Z. ★★★★★ We have been taking our 6 mo puppy to Companion since we got her and are so happy we do!

I would highly recommend Companion to anyone looking for a vet.Veronika G.Veronika G. ★★★★★ Everyone at Companion has always been very sweet! They are all down to Earth and are really accommodating.Alexis F.Alexis F. ★★★★★ My dog’s normal vet unfortunately moved away, so I had to find a new vet for my dog. He had a large growth in his mouth, so I was trying to find a vet that would take him as soon as possible because the emergency 24/7 vet wouldn’t take him. I was referred to this animal hospital and they couldn’t have been nicer. From the person who took the appointment, to the woman who walked us out after my dog’s appointment. I highly, highly recommend this animal hospital. They took such wonderful care of my dog and were very nice. They understand that your pet is your baby, but understand that people have a budget. Everybody here are definitely animal people. As a dog mom, I felt like I was able to trust them with my dog, which isn’t always easy! 10/10.Katherine B.Katherine B. ★★★★☆ This morning we brought our cat for her nails cut. The tech’s were great the service was good. I was very happy with Campanion animal hospital. I will go there any timeEllen G.Ellen G. ★★★★☆ I really enjoy taking my cat to the folks at Companion Animal Hospital. I feel good about how my cat will be treated and trust them with her care. I get the sense they geniully enjoy taking care of pets. The location is quite convenient for me as well.James YJames Y ★★★★☆ Nice to have a vet in the neighborhood, currently bringing my OLD dog here. Sometimes I feel they are trying to oversell (acupuncture therapy for arthritis), but the staff at every level is always super kind and gentle. My poor old man gets very nervous but they are always prepared with the peanut butter and he has always received excellent care.Megan S.Megan S.js_loader

Alexis M.

My cat needed dental work done and the staff were amazing with her. I got calls throughout the day on surgery day, and they called to check on her multiple times afterwords before she had her 2 week follow up appointment. They are very good with answering questions both by phone and by email with helpful and prompt responses.
