A little odd... I was looking for a good place to take my dog for a check up when I saw the "great reviews" for this place. And as I started to read these so-called customer reviews, I noticed it's a little fishy that about 30 of the 33 reviews posted are EXACTLY 3 or 4 months ago, even though they've been open for like, what, 25 years? Not only that, but every SINGLE post opens with the same thing: "I've been going to *Companion Animal Hospital* for 5 years now" or "I have been taking my dog to *Companion Animal Hospital* for many years". It's always some form of this, and of course they almost always list the doctors name(s). And for the real give away - I checked these "long-time customers" supposed Google+ "profiles", and sure enough, the only review any of these people have EVER wrote was for Companion animal hospital... Not to mention their profiles are completely blank with no information what-so-ever, and to top it off, they all have names like "Lindsay Johnson", "Bob Smith" or "Angie Smith"... Not quite those exact names of course, but you get idea. FAKE FAKE FAKE! And if you're wondering why I took my time to even write a review like this, it's simply because I have been scammed, lied to, deceived, whatever you want to call it, by companies such as this one. They will post review after review to get their ratings up because the typical person will look at just the # of stars they have and base their decision solely on that. That's what I USED to do. Until I was sold a car and had that same cars transmission go out the very next day. It's situations like that which made me take a closer look (not without having to flip through 10 pages of fake reviews) to find the real posts which are of course filled with horrible stories of being lied to and cheated out of your money. So hopefully if anyone actually does take the time to read this, you don't have to learn the hard way which companies could give two sh*** about you.

This place is great. I have had two dogs that have seen the vets at Companion. I have been happy with the great care they gave my older dog who passed away and now our new dog. They listen to my concerns and offer useful advice on what we could do. I have also used the boarding on several occasions and both of my dogs were happy and healthy after each boarding experience. The other great thing about this place are the reception staff. I have always been greeted with a hello and a smile, no matter how swamped they were.

Companion Animal Hospital has been our pets' provider for almost 20 years, and we wouldn't trust our four-legged-kids' care to anyone else! For my tortoiseshell cat, only Dr. Goldthwaite will do. She doesn't tolerate any other veterinarian (or really any people other than me). Our other cats and our dog always come out of their doors feeling good and happy. They'll be our providers as long as their doors stay open!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Ritchie, and Companion Animal Hospital. He has a gift with animals, and the entire clinic provides 5 star service. My family had a crazy mini dachshund, who had in the past been a vet-biter. One visit with Dr. Ritchie, and our holy terror was completely docile. When my husband and I were young and newly married, we were adopted by a stray cat, who ended up having a brain tumor. Knowing finances were tough, Dr. Ritchie made us feel good for taking the cat in, and provided a lot of free or discounted vet services. Over the years, we've had siamese cats with renal failure, a rare fungal infection and various dental needs. We still have the flowering plant they sent us when our last cat passed away. So very above and beyond the call of duty, and meaningful to us. Even when we lived in Seattle, there was no question we'd drive across the bridge to see Dr. Ritchie. The compassion the whole clinic has shown to our animals, and to us, during happy and sad times has been truly appreciated- and inspired our complete loyalty and referrals. Now, we've finally been able to bring a GSD puppy into our lives, and to have a vet we trust this much has made such a difference. She LOVES going to the vet, and the whole staff, but especially Dr. Ritchie, has shared our excitement, and treat her so well. Their puppy plan is very generous. There are not enough stars to provide Dr. Ritchie, and his clinic. It's always special when you meet someone who so clearly is meant to do what they do.

If you are looking for a place that has demonstrated concern, compassion and expertise, then this is the place! I had the opportunity to use many of their doctors over the multiple years we have used them, and they have all been wonderful. The front staff and the technicians are great as well, and the hours cannot be beat. I highly encourage you to try Companion Animal Hospital.
