By five years of age, 95% of all dogs and cats have tooth and gum disease. Signs include bad breath, reddened gums, and plaque and tartar accumulations on teeth. Bacteria from plaque can spread in the blood causing infections of the kidney, liver, lung and heart. To prevent periodontal disease and painful teeth, we recommend regular oral exams and preventive dental care.

Companion Animal Hospital and all the staff are the very best veterinarian service and team in the world. It's not easy to find great care for exotic species so we're so lucky to have found Companion. They really treat our rabbits like family. We've had the pleasure of working with Dr. Allerhand for years now and she truly is so kind and attentive to our rabbits.
We trust her judgement 100% and appreciate how she is always communicative and really has our pets' best interest in mind. We always feel listened to and never pressured. Our rabbits have also seen Dr. Megan and it's been a pleasure. The vet techs are also very helpful and kind. When one of my rabbits passed away unexpectedly at home, the team spent lots of time walking me through after-life options.
In addition, the team sent me a card and made a donation in my pet's name. I will always remember that act of kindness. If you are looking for high quality and compassionate care then Companion is the place. I can't recommend them enough.

I have been coming here for over six years. Both my cat and dog have seen all the doctors. They were more than accommodating when I had to put down my dog and cat within a week of each other. I now have two new puppies and they LOVE the staff and the doctors. Companion Animal Hospital is one of the best around. I am sure you could go and search for something cheaper but as they say, "you pay what you get".
I have gotten estimates at other places for certain procedures but I end up doing the procedures at Companion Animal Hospital regardless. I love the service the friendliness of staff and doctors and I know I can count on them to take care of my girls (pups) without worry. I highly recommend if you live in the area. I have been to two other vets and this, in my opinion, is the best all around.

This is my cat Princess. She is very shy and always very afraid of the Vet. We saw Dr. Allerhand and boy was I impressed. She treated my baby like you would treat a human baby. She was soft voiced very gentle with how she handled her. I know from other vets we have seen the the vets and vet techs want to be the ones handling your pet but Companion is different.
They want your animal to feel safe and secure and allow you to give them that feeling during their exam. Dr Allerhand is the most kind Veterinarian I've ever met. The entire Staff at the pet hospital and boarding group have only the best intentions for your pet or as I call them furrr babies. I don't know how to say how much respect I have for them any better than I already have. Sincerely, Lynae Harrison Faithful Customer

I am fairly new to Companion Animal Hospital. We moved here in October, and I was initially having our dogs groomed by Allison (who does a great job). But the staff were so wonderful, caring, and customer-friendly that I decided to give them a try for veterinary care. We have a very senior dog with lots of challenging issues. So far, I have had her seen for various issues by three of the doctors; and I have been overwhelmingly impressed with all three of them. (And it takes a lot for me to be overwhelmingly impressed.) They are very thorough, extremely bright, and very caring.
My impression is that the tone at the top in this clinic is excellent, and it is that rare clinic that seems to be singularly dedicated to doing an excellent and loving job for the pets and their families.

I brought a stray kitten that I found to the CAH to be checked for a microchip. The staff was VERY helpful and friendly. Not only did they check for a microchip; they determined her sex, checked her teeth to try to determine age, told me what type of kitten she is AND gave me some kitty food and litter to keep her overnight! I also found out that they board pets while you are on vacation and they also provide day care for your pets!

After boarding our dog at this facility we immediately had to take her to another hospital for care due to the treatment she received at the Companion Animal Boarding Hospital. They did not change her leg bandage as requested, and they instead allowed water to get in causing an infection. Additionally, she has bruise marks across her body.

Karen has been our family's vet for almost 20 years now and cared for our 2 golden retrievers from beginning to end of life. She and team have given excellent care and kindness over the years, and were especially respectful and accommodating to our family and pups during the emotionally tough experiences of those last few moments of both their lives. When my family got a new puppy this summer, staying with Companion Animal Hospital was a guarantee.

Companion Animal Hospital is the only vet I go to! As a bunny mom it can be very challenging to find a doctor you trust that specializes in exotics, but I have been lucky enough to have Dr. Sheila Megan as my vet for over 3 years. Dr. Megan is extremely knowledgeable of rabbits and has helped both of mine whenever I had an issue. From mites, to gooey eyes, to GI Stasis scares, and skin irritations, she has been able to help me each time and provide answers to my questions.
The staff are kind and whenever I call in they are able to fit me in either the same day or the day after. Thank you so much for your fantastic service. Keep up the great work! ~Joslyn
