I honestly can't think of a single way this clinic could improve. The front office staff is warm and friendly and always remembers me. They provide coupons so I can get a discount on the dog food I buy there. The vet is very kind and considers my budget when discussing care options. The entire clinic has a warm vibe. It feels like a family. I can't imagine taking my dog anywhere else. I highly recommend this clinic. Read Less

Wonderful staff! Always very helpful and willing to answer questions and go out of their way to make sure my pets are taken care of. We always saw Dr. Grotbeck before he moved to a new location and he is an absolutely wonderful vet, willing to do research if you have difficult questions or your pet has special circumstances!

This review is based off the compassion we got from this location. I've gotta say the ladies here were so awesome! We lost our Gus Gus about a month ago and he lived a wonderful little cat life even in his old man years. They were very kind and very helping and after everything was said and done I believe they sent us a couple extra things to remember our little man by. We want to thank them for all they did, I've had mostly all good experience with this company but these ladies that day and even after did something so special, it just broke our little hearts all over again but this time in a good way(: thank you !

I am no longer a client at Companion, though I was for many years. Dr. Lueck was especially wonderful with my elder pug, who had some difficult health issues. And Lesley, at the front desk, always made me feel like more than just a client. There were times I felt I was pushed into treatments or products that were unnecessary but I either didn't mind in the name of being thorough, or just said no and felt comfortable with that. Things have changed over the last few years. There has been a high turnover in vet tech staff. They do remove the animals to the backroom which I think is more stressful than it needs to be. My young dog nipped at the new staff while getting her anal glands done, but I have been assured by groomers and other vets she is always a sweetheart with them. What finally made me stop going was one particularly busy afternoon I came in with my cat for shots. I asked that my husband be allowed to take him out of the carrier and handle him, since he is very feisty. Instead one of the staff members kept grabbing at him and jumping back when he hissed, which got him even more upset. They took him into the back and came out a while later and said they would not be able to give him his shots unless I sedated him... an expensive alternative and can be dangerous in cats. At first I said it was fine and made an appointment to come back, but as I was waiting to check out I heard them recommend the same thing to another cat owner and when she mentioned she might have better luck (and less stress) at a clinic that specializes in cats they argued with her why that wouldn't make a difference. I decided to try a vet closer to home that I had gone to several times with my mom's pets. Sure enough, though still not very cooperative, they were able to use a towel to secure my cat and gave him his shots without a problem and without the added expense and danger of sedation. I have mixed feelings about this since I was happy with them for so long, but my animals come first. I feel like they need to figure out their staffing issues in order to reduce the chaos and stress of the busy times and things would run a lot smoother for everyone. Read Less

I have been taking my pet cats to this clinic for nearly 20 years. I've always felt good about the care my cats get. Last year I had my precious kitty of 18 years put down. They were ever so kind and understanding of my grief. They did all they could to make it easier.However, my latest experience has changed my mind. As several other reviewers have mentioned it seems all they care about is finding things to charge you for. They suggest this and that until you are exausted listening. They don't listen to anything you try to tell them. I was told to bring in my female to have stitches removed. So, I did. Apparently their only concern was to sell me flea meds, vaccinations etc.because when I got her home she STILL had her stitches in. That was what I told them I was there for.But taking stitches out wouldn't cost me any money only the shots and meds would so that was their only concern. Couldn't be bothered removing stitches. Besides causing me to come in again would give them one more chance to charge me for something else. I clearly will not be going there ever again. Read Less

Unlicensed medication for dogs under 1 year was given to my puppy who was only 6 months at the time and he was diagnosed as Hypothyroid when he wasn't. I was under the impression companion vet is reasonable in terms of prices but no they are a rip off. Compare hypothyroidism test cost of $198 to $148 at a different 5 start pet hospital. I would recommend to find a vet else where as I fear pets being mis diagnosed and mis treated Read Less

So the ladies at the front are very nice and love animals but I have to say I was very uncomfortable taking my pup there. I only went to get him a rabies shot and so we went into the exam room, the vet checked out my dog then took him into the back! Every other vet I have been to just gives the shot to him in the exam room with me there (it's efficient) But no not here, they made me go into the lobby and I could hear my fur baby crying in the back. I waited 15 minutes for my pup to get a freakin shot that takes 5 seconds! It made me very suspicious why they take him away. I didn't like it and I wouldn't go back if they are going to take my dog away from me. Read Less

When I first came to Oregon a couple of years ago I searched for a long time for a vet capable to take care of my strong working dogs, two Rottweilers and one Malinois. My dogs ARE muzzle trained, but if the vet has enough knowledge about how to handle dogs ... and isn't afraid ... there's absolutely no need for muzzle for either of them at the vets. Barry Lueck was the first vet here in Oregon who knew how to handle a working dog and my dogs likes him and willingly goes with him for shots and whatnots. I trust him explicitly with my working buddies and know that he will take very good care of them.Nosey K-9s Read Less

This company is by far one of the worst places I have ever dealt with. I took my cat in because he was having some trouble going to the bathroom and was obviously in pain. After they looked at him, they told me he had a serious condition and would not make it through the night if I hadn't acted. My cat isn't just a pet to me, he is part of our family. So naturally, I was devistated to hear this news. They charged me $1100 to keep him for no more than 5 hours and send him home still in pain. Needless to say, I took him back the next day to find that the problem had not been fixed. They said that it looked like I would end up having to put him down. I couldn't wrap my head around how my cat was still this bad after having spent over a grand to keep him there for not even half a day. I decided to get a second opinion and thank god I did, because the other place I took my cat had a completely different diagnosis. Turns out mt cat had a very common and easily fixed issue. There was absolutely NO reason to even think about putting him down. The new place kept him for 2 nights and charged me significantly less for the entire procedure. Plus, they were incredibly kind and understanding, something Companion was not. To sum this up, Companion over charged me for not treating my cat properly, threatened having to put him down, was INCREDIBLY rude and not at all compassionate. Their bedside manor was absolute horrible, telling me that my cat would die that night unless I paid that ridiculous amount! That's emotional blackmail! I wish there was a way I could give them a negative star rating. Horrible, unfit company. Read Less

Best vet ever!! I drive from the east side just so my pets are treated by the best. We have been going here for 8 years and will never change!!! I love the staff they all know me and my animals, they have seen me and my pets and thier worst and best. They literally saved my dogs life a few times. BEST VET EVER Read Less

I work here, so people may think I'm biased.. but if you know me you know I wouldn't trust just anyone with my furry babies (and yes, that does mean I'd go somewhere else for vet care even while working here if I didn't trust both doctors and the entire staff completely). Also, I went here years before working here with family pets, and felt the same way I do today. 10/10 would recommend to a friend :) Read Less

Front office is great, Dr. Grotbeck is great, but Dr. Lueck is not.  I cannot go over all the issues that I've had with him over the many years as a client here, as I wouldn't be able to stop writing.  I'll just say that he is rough with my animals, overly opinionated, unfriendly and frequently very wrong.  After several second opinions on several issues, I have learned that the hard and expensive way.  He told me once that my dog has anxiety (only at the vet) because I must spend too much time with him.  Really?  He only hates going to vet because I spend too much time with him?  I work 50 hours per week.  That's asinine.  I heard my dog screaming and whining in the back for over an hour one visit, but Dr. Lueck lied and told me that he calmed down immediately once he took him back.  Does he really not know that you can hear everything from the lobby?  My other dog was sick for weeks because he kept misdiagnosing her.  The ER vet discovered and cured the problem immediately by watching a video that I took of her during an episode she was having.  When I tried to show Dr. Lueck the same video first because he wasn't listening to me, he told me that he didn't need to see a video of a sick dog.  Most recently, either he lied or the office lied about why he didn't tell me my dog was overdue for a vaccine during his visit, which had a comprehensive exam.  This then resulted in me being charged for a second comprehensive exam a week later when my doggie daycare advised me that he was overdue for his shot.  Isn't that part of the comprehensive exam... to make sure that he's current on vaccines?  From the first story I got from the front office after reading through my chart, which was the vet had discontinued it for my dog since they didn't think he had any risk of being boarded, I believe he lied to cover up his mistake.  I could be wrong on that one, but after all the other problems I've had with him, I doubt it.  The front office said they would discuss it with the vet and someone would get back to me later that day, but no one did.  The second story I got the following day was that Dr. Lueck stated he advised me that my dog was overdue and I declined the vaccine.  This did not happen and has never happened in the history of me having pets.  Not to mention that the vaccine was due in February and Dr. Lueck has seen him multiple times since then.  Never has he mentioned it, which leads me to believe the first story.  Now why would he decide that my dog doesn't need the vaccine anymore because he has no risk of being boarded, when he has been going to doggie daycare and boarding for 8 years?  This place is great when I get to see Dr. Grotbeck, but that doesn't happen often.  I will only bring my pets in when Dr. Grotbeck is working and available.  Otherwise, I will move on.

Everyone here was so sweet and compassionate when my kitty, Amigo, came down with a life threatening urinary blockage. Not only did they save his life, they also spoiled him with lots of love during his time with them. I can't say enough good things about Companion pet clinic of Aloha! An extra special thank you to Heather- she really went above and beyond to help Mimi, and was extremely caring and kind during this super hard time. <3 Read Less

I'm surprised to see how so many Yelpers are dissatisfied with this place. I've been here several times with my kitties and dog. The front desk staff is always helpful and friendly. The vet- don't know his name but he is a an older gentleman is very kind and loving towards my kids (pets). He takes his time and it never feels rushed. He answers all of our questions we may have. I find their pricing to be reasonable compared to other vets I've been to. I honestly can say I have complete confidence in trust in this place. Read Less

The main vet is a jack-@$$. He's like a chihuahua who doesn't realize how small he is yelling at the big pitbull. He screamed at me. I was in shock that he would dare to do so. If I wasn't a nice guy I could have ripped him a new one. I walked out. I made sure to let all my friends know to never go to this clinic. Read Less

We have been so impressed with the care here at Companion Pet Clinic in Aloha. Our three cats and dog have always been treated so well over the 6 years we have been patients, and Dr. Barry Lueck has treated a broken toe, skin irritation issues, and an infection for our dog with kindness and without adding extra fees. We appreciate that he takes a conservative approach instead of taking opportunity to rack up charges with tests or procedures that might be premature. He's definitely our favorite doctor and the staff are always so cheerful and courteous. Read Less

This place is a joke. We took our 1 year old German Shepherd in because his hind leg was bothering him and he had lost a little weight recently. The vet proposed a laundry list of tests including a general exam, physical exam (not sure how that is different than a general exam...or why it costs $200), an intestinal screening, stool sample and labs, a flea collar (that they charge $87 for) even tho he doesn't have fleas, as well as x rays. With the x rays, there is an additional fee of $65 for a "second opinion." Apparently the vet there isn't qualified or able to look at x rays and make a diagnosis. The total for this exam proposed was close to $1000. We declined most of the testing and just got the general exam and x rays ($425). The diagnosis? GROWING PAINS! The print out they gave us explained how this issue is "very common" in German Shepherds and will self correct. Why this wasn't mentioned before based on how common it apparently is, I have no idea. In addition, the vet is very impersonal. Constantly trying to talk over you and interrupting when you are trying to explain the animals symptoms. It is clear that a large bill is the only thing they care about. Do yourself and your pet a favor go somewhere else. Anywhere else. There are 2 other pet clinics in the same parking lot, go see one of them.Read Less

We have been going to Dr Lueck for years and can't imagine going anywhere else. The boys can't wait to go to the vet and we are treated like royalty every time welcome in. They have saved Baylors life, put up with Crozbys temper tantrums and fixed up the cat that doesn't know how to fight. They are compassionate, and love my boys to pieces. We couldn't be happier with the service. Read Less

My client with special needs had a companion pet that was sick, after calling various vets and rescues, he could not find anyone to help him. Even though he could not afford to get an X-Ray this clinic went out of their way to do this for him. They even called later on to make sure that his cat was still doing alright. With that cat being the only family he has, he couldn't be anymore thankful for what this clinic did for him. I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else, they truly care here and I will recommend them to everyone!Read Less

Yes, owning a pet is expensive. You have to weigh the decision before making the leap into pet ownership. It shouldn't be this way, but it just is if you want to take care of your pets. My beloved cat broke his tail in a door 4 places. This is the place we took him. He was 5 months old and also was going to be neutered soon. They amputated his tail and kept him for about 36 hours. They also did the neuter the same time because putting cats under is not good, this also saved me $$$. And it was their idea. The after care was great, too. Every time I had an issue, or he needed to be seen, it was free, and they helped me each time. Shots, surgery and neuter all came out to about $550. I would have done it again. They also helped me with payments if we needed. Read Less

Dr. Grobeck and Dr. Lueck have always been great with my dogs and they always call to check back up on them and include a follow up check in their pricing when the dogs have a serious issue. Dr. Grobeck specifically is always very patient with my many and sometimes un-informed questions. I would certainly recommend this vet to anyone with dogs, they are very caring. Read Less

We went there because my dog was super ill and had lost weight and we were very concerned. Unfortunately we did not have the money to pay and they saw him anyways. They let us know that he has cancer and what to expect and gave us specific instructions on what to do. They even sent us home with a free bag of special food to prevent my dog from losing more weight. We did not pay a penny and they still treated us wonderful. The veterinarian even called a few times to see how my dog was doing. Unfortunately my baby crossed the rainbow bridge last night but I will be forever grateful to Companion Pet Clinic for their kindness and their generosity. Thank You. Read Less

I called this vet before visiting because we had a flea problem in our apartment. We do not have any pets and I explained to the person on the phone that and they recommended knock out ES by Virbac. I used the spray as directed and it worked for one day. Now the fleas are back worse than before and when I went to return the product the lady at the front was rude and said that she "KNOWS" it works and she would not return my money. I was told to contact the manufacturer. I have 4 kids and it is very disgusting to find fleas all over them eating us alive! I would not recommend this place for anyone or anything if they cannot stand by products they sell and treat customers like idiots. Read Less

We have/had 3 dogs. We recently had to put our old girl to sleep. We were so heart broken, but the staff here were really kind, they thought of things that in the heat of the moment we were too upset to think of. The clinic made a paw print of our girl to keep as a keepsake, later we got a garden rock with her name on it. Very thoughtful. We now continue care with our other 2 , one is epileptic and always on meds. Staff is friendly, Vet gives all the options... Facility is clean and hours they are open meet all our needs. Read Less

This is the second time coming in on the past few months with separate animals and I feel that not only does Dr. Leuck not listen to anything I say about my own pet, but he immediately starts combing for fleas and tells me the fleas are the problem. He's not the first vet I've brought my animals to, so the 4 minutes and 39 seconds he spent talking to me or over me checking out my animal was such a waste. Came here because it was the most affordable, but I won't be back. I'm not made of money for all the extras they want to tack on. If it seems necessary, then sure. But when the vet won't even listen to your concerns or about YOUR animal, I'm not willing to pay for a laundry list of tests and everything else he randomly thinks are needed. The vet starts taking my animal to the back and you haven't even ok'd what's being done. He says they will go over pricing with me up front so I can take a seat up there....which they ended up tacking a bunch more stuff onto. Thanks for holding my pet hostage. Oye. Just run! Don't go to Companion. Funny. I'm just now seeing the review above, "This place is worse than a used car lot". Awesome. Couldn't have said it better. Read Less

Very nice staff. The Dr was great and genuinely concerned about my dog. They didn't try to bamboozle me or get me to pay for anything I didn't need. Awesome experience and we will definitely be repeat clients! Read Less

I wish I had come to this clinic sooner.  Our 12 year old standard rat terrier suffered with diabetes, blindness and finally stopped eating and drinking.  We were forced to make the inevitable decision to let her have peace.  We brought her to Companion Pet Clinic in Aloha and they treated us with the utmost compassion and empathy.  They let us take as much time as we needed to say good bye our babygirl which was so hard to do.  After leaving and trying to go on with our lives, this amazingly caring clinic, sent us a sympathy card, signed by everyone in the office, and made a pawprint casting with her name on it for us.  They also made a donation to OSU in her name, how very thoughtful.  Very much appreciated.

I've taken my dogs here since 2000.  Vets seems nice and knowledgeable.  Front desk staff friendly but seems a little flustered at time and maybe due to understaffing.  Most of the time when I take my dog there, it's super chaotic busy and I end up waiting for at least 30 minutes over from my scheduled appointment. Also, the prices for neutering, shots, and other common procedures are a lot more expensive than other pet clinic.  I'm no longer a customer of Companion Pet Clinic of Aloha.3 key takeaways from my experience:1. long wait time2. expensive compared to other pet clinic in the area3. a little unorganized Read Less

My kitten broke his leg and I took him here. I was told I had to pay $1800 for surgery or put him to sleep. Terrible choice as I am fairly poor. I took him and called around for options. I found a place who told me they could splint his leg for $60 and see how it healed. Worse case was amputation if it hindered him which would be  $200. I was furious at Companion for not giving me these options. My kitten healed up just fine with full use of his leg.  I would give less stars but I had to use carecredit in an emergency and Companion was the only place open who would take that form of payment. They offered to try a steroid shot as an inexpensive option to help my cat with sudden breathing difficulties. It helped and he had no further symptoms. Would prefer overall to avoid this vet in the future. Read Less

1st time I went in, my cat got sick the next day. Either they don't wash their hands or the exam room was not sterilized. Gave them a 2nd chance as my cat had a cold and they were even worse. It was like they went through the motions of the exam but didn't look to see if anything was wrong. If you want someone that cares about the health of your animal... go somewhere else. Read Less

I didn't try too many local places but when I met the staff here and received immediate and compassionate care, I knew we had a vet for our senior black pug. All I can say is that my poor pug had a complicated case and the entire staff was thoughtful, professional and available at a moment's notice. When you are worried about a severe condition, it does your heart good to find a team like this! Read Less

Took my dog here to get his vaccines. The vet came in and wanted to muzzle my dog. Never has be hit or done anything to anyone before! Any dog is going to be uncomfortable in a new environment. They discriminated against my dog. Pet owners don't take your loving dogs here. They are terrible and don't understand the personality of dogs!!! Worst experience for my dog and I. Will tell all my pet owning friends about my experience and will never allow any dog be treated this way!!! Read Less

This is a great vet. I have 3 dogs, 2 pugs and a bloodhound. The pugs have had many  visits here, just the usual check ups and vaccines. My bloodhound had her first vet visit here, all her check ups and was spayed here too. I have no complaints at all. The office is clean and smells clean too. The examination rooms are also very clean. The staff is always super friendly. They know how to deal with animals well even if the animal is timid. The vets are courteous, professional and straight forward with you. It must be a hard business dealing with all those over-sensitive pet owners out there who get offended that the vet doesn't tell the animal their life story and ask permission to touch them. These people are pros and that's why I keep going to them. Plus all 3 of my dogs LOVE going to the vet, isn't that something? Read Less

I'm a little surprised at the fairly low ratings for this Companion Pet Clinic.  It's been the vet of choice for Fiona-my Scottish Terrorist- for all 7 years of her doggie life.  The front desk women and the 2 vets all are friendly, listen carefully to my questions and I appreciate that I usually get a Doggy Score Card when I go in for checkups or shots for her so I am aware of any issues that I need to look out for.Granted it's a first come first served pet clinic but that helps in many instances in my opinion.  Also I often call ahead and ask if they are busy or not..if the're busy I know not to go right then.I've found both Erik and Barry to be thoughtful, careful with my doggies feelings when she gets upset and nips at them and they tell me in English what might be wrong  with Fiona.   They also keep me up to date checking for things that have been problems for her even if I'm in for something else.  She has ear problems and the docs always check her ears, even without my asking them to.Their prices are average...I called Rock Creek Pet Hospital when I first got Fiona and their Puppy First Year package was quite a bit more expensive than Companions too.  That first year with all the immunizations gets expensive without the package pre-paid.I was in yesterday to buy the diet dog food she needs as she's gotten a bit porky-this food is less expensive at the vet than it is right next door at the big box pet store.It's convenient, friendly, I can always find a parking place and usually get in fairly quickly and the prices are equatable or less expensive than other vets close by.I'll keep going back.

I went to Companion Pet Clinic because I've heard the fee for their services is less than other pet clinics and they don't try to encourage you to perform all these test and services that may be unnecessary. Well, I must say, this is true...services were less and they left all of the decisions up to me. However, I went there two times, and also had to deal with them 2 times over the phone, and will never go back. The doctor was okay, but the receptionist seems like she does not like her job or animals. She may be trying to act professional, but she comes across rude and abrasive. This is not only to me, but when I hear her speak to people on the phone and in person to others. The last straw was when I called because my cat kept vomiting foam and was struggling each time she did it. I called at 5:45 on a Friday. She put me on hold and said I should bring her in. They close at 6:00 so I told her I may be a couple minutes late, depending on traffic. She said, "well we may not be here". I told her that was ridiculous that she was telling me to come in, but if I don't make it in time they may not be able to see my cat. She told me the doors may be locked, but I could come back the next day if they were closed. I asked her to give me the address to the Hillsboro office since they were open until 8:00. She gives it to me and that was it...no concern for my cat. Read Less

I read some of the poor reviews but I decided to use this clinic since it was closest to my home. Initially I was satisfied with the level of service (I had a minor complaint after asking to see their kenneling facility and being told no - I feel more comfortable boarding my dog when I know the environment will be comfortable for her). Recently, however, after I ran low on heart worm preventative I placed an order on-line at '1800petmeds'. I've never had an issue with this before; I've lived all over the country and have had many orders filled on-line. In this case, I was notified that the vet had declined my prescription. Soon thereafter someone from this vet's office called to tell me that in order to use a different pharmacy I would need to go by their office, sign a waiver and pay them $10 for this ""service'. I can accept their ludicrous explanation for the waiver: they don't want me to hold them liable if the pharmacy sends the wrong prescription (I've never heard this from a Medical Doctor, and they have much more liability). What I find insulting was the insistence that I pay a $10 fee to sign that waiver. When I asked the reason for the fee I was told that's just what it would cost and if I didn't want to pay it I could find another vet. There are a number of other vets in this area, any of which will treat you better. Go where you'll be appreciated, I know I will from now on. Read Less
