It is essential that you take a proactive approach to care for your pet's overall wellness. Wellness encompasses everything from diet & nutrition to scheduling annual physical exams. Committing to your pet's wellness can help them live longer, healthier lives and reduce their risk of disease or infection.
Your pet's oral health is directly correlated to their overall wellbeing and can have a significant impact on their quality of life. That is why it is important that their teeth and gums are checked during their annual visits to the veterinarian. Since your pet can't care for their own dental health, it is important that you do your part to help them have a healthy smile.
It is actually quite common for pets to have allergies to a wide variety of things such as diet, environment, or even to other animals in the home. These allergies can cause severe discomfort and may lead to more serious dermatological issues such as skin irritation and rash. This can make your pet's life more stressful and could lead to them accidentally harming themselves due to itching or scratching.

Took my dog here and saw the newest vet. He had poison oak. I did not figure that out by the vets knowledge. She told me it was a flea issue. He did not have fleas. I told her he had been checked to see if he had an allergic reaction from fleas back when we adopted him. She ignored what I said. She just kept on trying to get me to buy more stuff from her. I felt uncomfortable being there. I had called multiple times trying to find a solution to his issues after the meds they prescribed did not work. I had zero help from staff. Probably after the 5th time I called one staff member helped out and

I’ve been bringing our animals (and parents animals) here for 20+years, started with Dr Chambers way back. The doctors here are so caring and I don’t think they overcharge or order unnecessary testing.
I only have one problem with the practice. The aesthetics! I almost wish I could take up a collection to help them out, new paint and lighting would go a long way. The rotten egg smell is sulfur water (I think) and can’t be helped but it is pretty bad.
Any way…does any of this matter? No. What matters is that your pet is well cared for and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed here.

I'm so happy with the care and service I received at companion animal hospital! I scheduled an appointment for my cat Oliver, since he was having sneezing fits and eye drainage. Companion was able to book me just 2 days out for Oliver's new patient appointment, whereas other hospitals around the area were at least 5 days out. The appointment was fast, easy, and affordable, and the vet was very clear with her instructions.

Actually nothing. I am very thankful that the office fit us in, even though we have never been there before. The staff was more than thoughtful and kind. Faith was VERY comfortable with everyone that dealt with her ❤️. I can not express how much this warmed this Mom’s heart❣️She is healing quickly. Will see y’all in about 1 2/2 weeks. Grateful❣️

We have been clients with CAH for many years and the care my animals receive is top-notch. On several occasions they have literally saved my pet’s life - epilepsy episodes, puppy eating Advil, and other mishaps that come from owning many animals. Their care is unsurpassed and while I could drive to a closer office, I choose to use Companion as our vets for all our fuzzy and furry babies. Dr. A and Dr. Z are truly kind as well as professional.
