We just had our first appointment with out first pet with Hearthwood today. They are great! The receptionists up front were kind. I felt the doctor really spent time examining our kitty, and explained everything very clearly. The price for the exam was super-reasonable. I am really pleased to find such a great vet so close to my home! Edit - I also wanted to include the place was very clean! So important!!!

After moving to Vancouver, it no longer made sense for me to drive out to Beaverton to take my Husky mix to the vet; I needed to find a local option to get a checkup and have her vaccinations updated. I selected Hearthwood Dog & Cat Clinic after doing some online research (including Google and Yelp reviews) and because they are a reasonable driving distance. What I liked: The staff was very friendly, welcoming and seemed to show genuine interest in my dog. Within five minutes of checking in we were taken to an exam room. From the time that we arrived until the time that we left was no more than 25 minutes. They didn't keep us waiting nor did I feel that they rushed through. I feel like their prices were very affordable and I didn't feel pressured to pay for additional services. For example, it's been years since she had her teeth professionally cleaned. But the vet (Sandra) pointed out that she had some mild tartar buildup but that the overall condition of her teeth were great and didn't push for her to get a cleaning. One thing I didn't like: The location next to Mill Plain. My dog is very nervous by nature. I adopted her at around the age of 3 and had a hard time socializing her. She still doesn't get along with other animals and random things scare her: loud noises, ceiling fans, balloons, etc. When something scares her, she's been known to bolt and no amount of training over the years has been able to teach her to return to me when called if she's in one of her panicked states. She's also been known to be able to back out of harnesses and collars with enough struggling. Hearthwood's building is roughly 15 feet from Mill Plain Blvd. There's a lot of traffic. One of the activities that scares my dog is walking into buildings that smell like shelters, groomers, and vets. She walked on leash just fine right up to the front door... and then slammed on the brakes and started backing up. I had to carry my 70 lbs. dog inside because I was worried that if she struggled hard enough against the leash, she'd be able to pull out of her harness (she's done it many times). Just keep that in mind if your dog is anything like mine.

I've lived in the Portland area for several years, and have lived in Vancouver for just over a year. When I moved up here I was nervous taking my dog to a new vet, but I am so glad that I found Hearthwood Dog & Cat Clinic. I have met with each of the different doctors here, and they (as well as all of the support staff) really care about my dog. When we added a kitten to our family he got the same attention and quality care that our dog has received. They are also very reasonably priced, and I have never once felt pressured to spend money there. I've had my dog for 4 years, and we've lived in 4 states, and visited 5 vets since I got him. This one is BY FAR the best. I could not be happier.

Love this place! been taking my dog there for 3 years now. Vet Doctors and staff are awesome and nice!
