When I moved to Boise in 2004, I had four house rabbits, and found Companions Animal through the House Rabbit Society. Dr. Soule provided great care for them throughout their lives, and made sure to explain what was going on with each rabbit. If a test or procedure was recommended, Companions Animal explained why, and would also provide a quote for the estimated cost. One of my rabbits had to have an inner ear growth removed, and she bounced back, having no issue with anesthesia or surgery. Another one of my rabbits had to have at-home subcutaneous fluid treatment, and they made sure we understood how to give the fluids before sending us home. When it would come time to send one of my pets to Rainbow Bridge, there was a consultation room to decide if at that time euthanasia was the best choice - and the staff was very compassionate and professional during those times even as I would arrive or leave their office bawling my eyes out.I now have two cats and still go to Companions Animal. Making an appointment is easy, and they now have some Saturday hours. I like that I get an annual pet health report card that I can compare year over year. At my last visit, one of my cats had lost quite a bit of weight over one year but was still in the healthy range - rather than insisting I get blood work done on him right then, they let me know his weight loss could be from an overactive thyroid and explained what symptoms to watch out for so that I could decide later if I wanted the blood work. They also let me schedule my cats' appointments back to back, so I have both cats in the appointment room at the same time, which means less driving for me and slightly less stress for my cats. I trust the veterinarians and staff at Companions Animal to provide care for my pets and to help me make the best decisions for my pets' health. I recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinarian.
