Oregon City Veterinary Clinic

When doctor Kara LaRue walked into the room my historically overly anxious dog immediately relaxed and calmed down. My dog has never reacted this way with any other veterinarian. Dr. LaRue was an attentive listener, gentle, kind, and respectful of my concerns and thoughts. She agreed to a common sense treatment plan and everyone left happy! Read Less

I was given a quote for a teeth cleaning and one extraction. My Chihuahua had eleven teeth pulled. They treated him with compassion, explained everything to me in detail and stood by their original quote. Amazing! Thanks to all at O.C. Vet Clinic. Read Less

One of the best places I have ever taken my pets. Dr. Chris and all of the people that work there love animals and explain everything so well. I trust them completely and would easily leave any of my fur babies in their care. I had a very sick kitty and another vet was going to give up on him. But not Dr. Chris. He said we will do every thing he can. And he did. My cuddly gray cat is with me today because he was saved by the people at Oregon City Vet. Honestly the best vet I have ever gone to. Read Less

Both of my dogs have had dentals here in the past year. The staff is kind and they have a lot of information about rabies in the area and canine flu. One of my dogs had 26 teeth pulled and the office comped almost 1100 dollars to make the price more affordable. It may not loom like the nicest building bit the care is exceptional. Read Less

Dr Chris and the entire team at Oregon City Vet are the best group of people you could ever have taking care of your four legged family members. Yesterday my boy lost his 2 year fight to cancer. Dr Chris and his team have been with us the entire way. They are the most companionate real people you will ever have in your corner. I can not ever express my love and appreciation for each and every one of them. Always Moose's mom Read Less

Dr. Chris has been our vet for 8 years. He is passionate, caring, and wants what is best for your fur baby. He also is respectful towards your wishes. One of the big reasons why we love him so much is because he likes to use naturopathic medicine first before using other resources. Sure, the wait can be a little exhausting because it is a walk-in clinic. However, you leave feeling satisfied knowing your baby received great treatment. Read Less

My family has been going to this clinic for generations. So loving, caring, and compassionate. Yes, they are very busy but soooo beyond worth the wait. I have taken all of my pets here of all breeds. Recently, they have treated my two Australian Shepards like their own. I lost one of my babies when he was hit by a car and I couldn't have expected them to be more caring about my loss. I still bring my other baby here and always will. They do not care about money. Only the health and wellness of their animal patients. I love all of the staff here. Truly a forever client right here.

Compassionate service. The vet was gentle and kind. When my cat didn't want to be on the cold examination table, I set him on the floor to play. I sat down on the floor too to keep an eye on him. When the vet came in, he sat beside me. On the floor. Where he proceeded to perform the entire examination - he went out of his way to create an environment where my cat was comfortable. ... I've used this clinic for over a decade. They are a standard for compassionate service - always gentle with my pets and treating them as if they were family. See More Read Less

I've taken my Australian Shepherd, Hollywood, here a few times and I have had nothing but quality service each and every time. She deals with itchy skin and some stomach issues and each time the vets/staff have been very patient and loving. They don't mind all of my questions, prices are very affordable and they give options for treatment which I love! I called once when I was being a worry wort and they even gave me additional advice over the phone (regarding something Holly was just seen for) to help ease my nerves. As long as I live in the area, I won't go to any other vet! Read Less

Had my dog spayed and was also asked I'd I would like additional care for my dog. She had ear infections and was having an allergic reaction. The staff was compassionate and gave good information and prices.Read Less

This place came highly recommended by friends and family. Doctor is so good with our fur babies. He level of care showa and he goes above and beyond for his patients. Our dogs just love Doctor Chris! And we do too. Prices of service is very reasonable. Read Less

I brought my 1 1/2 year old lab mix, and 4 month old cat in for check ups and immunizations. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. None of them made me feel like I was asking too many questions, never felt like they were trying to rush through to the next patient. Definitely recommend for all your pet needs. The only frustration I really had was with the lady checking us in. I have absolutely no patience and have been that way my whole life. I also hate repeating myself, which I had to do numerous times. 2-4 times I felt like she was annoyed with me and I felt a bit uncomfortable. I also just noticed on my paperwork even after numerous times repeating myself my contact info is still wrong. Brittany, the vet tech(?) was awesome!!!Read Less

This place has been the clinic for all my pets. I just took my new 8 week old pup there 2 days after getting her and there was no new pet check up discount because the rescue organization I got her from already gave her the first set of shots. Pretty dissapointing. Read Less

I have been taking my fur babies to Oregon City Veterinary Clinic for 26 years. Yes, there can be wait when the lobby is full but knowing that all their attention is focused on you and your pets when you are in the exam room makes the wait worth it. All of the doctors and support staff are kind and gentle. Out of curiosity I called a vet clinic closer to my home to see what it would cost to spay and neuter the kittens I recently adopted from rescue. I was shocked at the amount, over $250 per kitten! Not only do you receive compassionate care at OCVC, it's done at an affordable price. Read Less

I have seen several vets in this office and they are all very caring and helpful. I also think they are conscious of the cost and really do there best to help you be able to afford to provide good care for your pet in my case my cats. Read Less

Could not ask for a better vet. Initially I was apprehensive because I had been going to this clinic for over 20 years and my original vet left with no notification. So when I came in I had the shock of him not being there and this 'new guy'...Dr. Chris. I don't do change very well... but Dr. Chris won me and my dogs over in spades! I love how before an exam he talks TO my dogs... as if they were his own. When he talks to me...his communication skills are excellent. I never leave confused and wondering. And he doesn't just go for your wallet. His first concern is the animals. I swear he has the soul of an small country vet that if he could, he'd accept eggs, fresh butter, or a chicken as payment. He recently came to my home and helped me with the very difficult decision to put one of my dogs down. I am grateful that he offers at home services. He was very professional and extremely compassionate. I am thankful for the change in veterinarians. If he is ever to relocate, I will drive my dogs to where ever he is. Couldn't ask for a better vet or a better person to care for my dogs. Read Less

I have been going to Oregon City Vet for over 20 years. When Dr. Chris appeared I was skeptical. I don't much care for change. However, his first time examining my dog he discovered a heart murmur that I didn't know my dog had. But I have had that dog for almost 8 years.. and I think that was Dr. Chris's first week at the clinic. I put my trust....and my pets in his care that day and he did not disappoint me. He's honest, thorough, detailed and communicates extremely w...ell. Above all, he puts the animals care above the almighty dollar. Don't get me wrong, he wants to be paid for what he does just like anybody else. But he will do what ever he can to make sure your pet gets the best care first...without taking you to the cleaners. Yes it was nice that payments was an accepted practice before he arrived..but I'm guessing so many people did not uphold their end of that arrangement that the practice began to suffer. Don't blame him for the payment due at time of service change. Blame the slackers that took advantage, got their pets cared for and then skipped out on their responsibility to pay. BTW, he even came to my house to put one of my beloved dogs to sleep for me this week. I don't know of too many vets that will come to your home so your pet can be handled at home surrounded by all the sights and smells it's familiar with... instead of being stressed out at the clinic on it's final day. My hats off to Dr. Chris. I don't like change. But I love this one. See More Read Less

First time here when I discovered my grey girl had a tapeworm. We were in quick since there are no appointments required and my suspicions were confirmed after a thorough exam. I felt apprehensive about the bill only to discover it was half of what I expected! Affordable, professional, and willing to take the time to answer questions--I found a great vet for my kitties! Read Less

I'm so glad to have found this vet! Everyone working there - from the front desk staff to the veterinarian who examined my dog - was friendly and obviously loved animals. We were in and out in about an hour, and that included a full exam and vaccinations. I really appreciate the clinic's low fees - my previous vet was so expensive! At the OC vet clinic, my dog received several vaccinations (including rabies), a microchip (and online registration for the chip), a full examination, and was registered with Clackamas County... the entire bill was under $150. They were also very willing to explain the different vaccination options and what they thought were necessary to have in our region, didn't push me to get more. Be aware that this is a walk-in clinic, so your wait will depend on how many people are ahead of you. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and the wait was very short, but I imagine the weekends would be longer. A note about the one star review: You *have* to register your dogs in Clacakamas county - it's the law. If the county receives a rabies vacation notice from the vet and you haven't registered, they will fine you. This is not the fault of the vet! Just pay the $19 and save yourself the trouble.

I have been with Dr Chris for 5 years. I followed him from Village at main in Wilsonville. I have 4 dogs so we see him often. He is by far the best vet both professionally and morally . I cannot believe that there are unfavorable posts here about him. We absolutely love him and will not let any other vet take care us. When a business is sold and purchased there are always changes. Most cannot afford to take payments for services. I don't know any Dr's that do this. That was a different time in history that business's could afford to do that. The cost of service's here is so low compared to other vets I can't believe there would be a complaint. We love you Dr Chris and we are so proud of you on this new adventureRead Less

My sister & I have been taking our cats to this clinic for a couple of years & have received excellent vet care. When we took an abandoned cat to the clinic for care, Dr. Chris McIlmoil made a very generous donation of vet care for the kitty that included a dental cleaning. His generosity made a big difference in helping to find the cat a forever home. We are very impressed with this clinic. Dr. Chris and his great team care about animals! Read Less

The brand-new owner or his staff used my Yelp review without asking me, used my name, and edited out the focus of my review, placing it at the TOP of his new website's testimonial page (they removed all mention of Dr. Nelson, who is no longer with them) to make it look like I'm recommending their entire new staff. I have asked them several times to remove it by e-mail, phone, and on their facebook page. The last time they deleted my request on this very page! I have done nothing but ask politely. I am so disgusted by their lack of ethics - please do not go to this clinic! I used to recommend everyone here and to Dr. Nelson (our favorite vet) but now that I have no experience with all these new people, except for them acting so fraudulently, I would never, ever wish their services on anyone. What a lack of honesty and integrity! I was even told over the phone by their office that Dr. Chris would call me to discuss this (he's the new owner) but that never happened. I mentioned that they could e-mail me, since I work long hours (they never did). Over the phone they denied it and said, "We don't do that," but changed their tune after I said I have screenshots of everything and the office subsequently apologized, but never promised to take it down. The proof is right there and right on the internet for all to see. I will keep telling everyone about this until they stop using my name and edited words without my permission - it needs to be removed immediately!Read Less

Absolutely love this vet. Also very helpful and nice. The reason they are getting a 3 star is because of the horrible attitude and service we received from one girl who works here. She has long blonde hair and I believe she said her name was Brittney. She was very rude, glared at everyone, acted like we ruined her day by coming in. Not happy with the service. Read Less

They are turning in clients in for not having a dog license! Seriously !! $100.00 fine from Clackamas County. After getting this dog shots and After 30 years of taking my animals there FU. ( it is my moms dog after she passed away.) Finding somewhere else where they care about clients. Read Less

I have gone to this vet for about 7 years now and absolutely love the vets here. They are very kind and understanding, are affordable, and are amazing at explaining the care options and high and low end scales of care we could do for each situation. I take my pet dogs here as well as guide dog puppies I raise for Guide Dogs for the Blind. The staff is great at working with the guide dog puppies' different protocols as needed and communicating/sending their records to Guide Dogs anytime it is needed. I have had multiple dogs have surgeries here for spay and neutering, lump removals, growths on the mouth/eye and they have all gone wonderfully. I have also sent many friends here who have also been happy with them. And Dr Todd is the best! Read Less

This is the only place I'll take my pet to! And I used to work at another vet hospital, I got out of that type of work, but this clinic is incredible! They care...actually care about your pet AND you! they dont just pretend. they genuinely care. They have great prices and great staff. Ive never had a vet that was so great! I love these guys!
