Companion Pet Clinic Salmon Creek
Vancouver, Washington
General Info
Our Services:
Wellness Exams: Each pet should have a full physical exam each year. This can be a good time to keep yearly boosters up to date. As pets become older, two yearly exams are recommended as well as annual blood work. Exams are always done on a walk-in basis.
Urgent Care: We accept all walk-ins to include urgent care cases during business hours. We have full hospital services.
Puppy & Kitten Packages: Providing puppies and kittens with their complete series of vaccines will protect them from life threatening diseases that can be difficult and costly to treat. Introducing your pet to the veterinary clinic and staff at an early age can often minimize fear of going to the vet later in life.
Each package includes:
• Two physical exams with the doctor, one at the time of the first visit, then at the end of the series with the rabies vaccine.
• All vaccines for the first year of life.
• Parasite fecal testing
• Two dewormers
• Kittens will also receive feline leukemia and FIV testing
Senior Package: Our pets age at a much quicker rate them we do and are considered senior pets between the ages of 5–8 years, depending on breed and health condition. Due to the increased age rate, health problems can develop much quicker. Frequent exams will help prevent some health problems and catch others early. This can help keep your pet much happier and help keep treatment cost down considerably.
Package includes:
• Two physical exams (six months apart)
• Full blood panel (cbc, chem, w/lipase)
• Thyroid testing
• Pancreatic testing (canine only)
• Urinalysis
• Two parasite fecal testing (six months apart)
Vaccinations: We offer affordable vaccinations daily. The first Saturday of each month we have our vaccine clinic. Already low prices are reduced to ensure all pets receive much needed vaccinations.
Health Certificate: For our world travelers, we offer full physical exam by a Federally Accredited Veterinarian with a Dept. of Agriculture Certificate of Health.
ISO Microchip: Bring your loved ones home when lost or stolen with an inter-term microchip. This 15 digit chip at 134.2 kHz frequency is the international standard required for travel to Hawaii, and internationally.
Surgery: We offer all non-specialty surgical needs. Appointments are required for all anesthetic procedures. New pets require an exam prior to any surgical procedure except routine spays and neuters.
Affordable Spays & Neuters: Spaying and neutering is recommended for all companion cats and dogs. It can decrease risk for certain cancers and health problems later in life as well as reducing pet over–population. We, at Companion feel it is a community service to ensure we spay/neuter as many pets we can. This is why you will find our prices much lower than our competitors.
Orthopedics: Our doctor is experienced in fracture repair, hip repair, and cruciate ligament repair along with many other orthopedic procedures.
Soft Tissue: With urgent care, the need for soft tissue surgery is great. From lacerations, abscess repair, to intestinal foreign bodies and many other soft tissue surgical services.
Dentistry: (current exam required with all dentals) Yearly oral exams will help your veterinarian and you develop the best dental plan for your pet. Routinely, most pets need a dental cleaning around 3–6 years of age. Instilling good oral habits early, such as brushing, can help your pet live a longer and healthier life, while you benefit with less expense for dental cleanings.
• We strongly recommend an exam with the doctor for senior and at risk patients.
If able, you can bring your pet in for an exam prior to the day of dental.
Laboratory: We offer full on-site diagnostics including blood analysis, cytology, viral testing, parasite and fecal testing, urinalysis, and electrocardiograms.
We also have full digital radiographic (x-ray) services.
Nutrition: We carry a variety of prescription diets by Hills Science Diet™, Purina™, and Royal Canin™ including many diets for patients with allergies.

In regards to Chris Mangan's review:
The puppy was presented with ingestion of a large bottle of children's gummy bear vitamins where the owner was uncertain if the puppy had eaten the large cap to the bottle as well. I suggested scout radiographs of the abdomen to determine whether or not the puppy had ingested the bottle cap as well. The owner received a call from her boyfriend who informed her the cap was not eaten so radiographs were not taken. I then induced vomiting with apomorphine. In the mean time I was in contact with ASPCA Poison Control where the doctor agreed that inducing vomiting was the right thing to do. The big question now was whether or not xylitol was an ingredient. If xylitol was present in a small amount it can cause low blood glucose and at that larger amounts can increase liver enzymes, cause profound hepatic damage, and even larger amounts (over 800 mg/kg) liver failure and and a need for plasma transfusions. Activated charcoal and intralipid 20 would not be helpful as they will not bind to xylitol. They suggested an injection of Cerenia for helping the gut. The boyfriend did not want to pay for the injection of Apomorphine, which the doctor at the ASPCA Poison Control agreed was the right thing to do. The boyfriend contacted the BBB and they contacted us about the issue and informed us that the owners wanted to be reimbursed for the cost of the injection ($27.93) used to induce vomiting. My decision was that it was not worth the hassle to fight with someone who clearly could not possibly understand, although I tried to explain to him why the injection was given. Therefore, we refunded the money to him. Dr. Z

A huge thank you to this specific Companion clinic, the staff there is such a major help! They know what they're doing, and are more than willing to help with rare situations like if you're going to travel with pet like I am. Special thanks to Holley (vet), who's been outstandingly helpful and understanding.
Prices is fair and too be expected, not too much of hassle.
Thank you again! I will be back to finish up a treatment before we'll be on my way, wouldn't go to any other vet clinic😀

I love this place. I had to put my pitbull down and it was one of the most traumatic moment of my life. The staff was great. Especially the doctor. A few days after we were at home grieving our loss and we got a moving sympathy card signed by the staff. Included were paw prints of our dog. They went above and beyond what they need to do. Since we got another pitbull and 3 cats and I wouldn't consider taking them anywhere else. Thank you Salmon Creek Companion Pet Clinic

Today I brought my mom in from Longview with her cat that had a back injury. He couldn't move his back legs and screamed when you would move his body. We brought him in wrapped in a couple towels and a blanket.. mind you he can't move or walk at all. She had him cradled in her arms. We didn't have a carrier with us and wouldn't have considered putting him in a carrier cause we didn't want to hurt him anymore than he already was.... when we got in to this vet office which I already bring my pet too the receptionist told me we can't come in to the build if the cat isn't in the carrier. I told her I can run home which is across town and grab his carrier so can she wait here? Keep in mind this cat is in bad shape. She said no she can stand outside and wait till I get the carrier . It is cold and raining and neither one should be standing and waiting in the rain. Then she offer to sell me a animal carrier if I was interested. Then I ask since this was an emergency couldn't we get him back in a room instead and she said sure it will be 500.00 dollars for him to get a room. Tell me what is wrong with the receptionist. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT LIKE THAT!!! Lady you are seriously a sad excuse for a human..... Never will I recommend the place and would highly recommend going somewhere else cause they do not have the best interest of your family member/ fury friend. Thanks for everything companion pet salmon creek!!!

Terrible customer service, horrible office manager named Sara. Talked to me like I was stupid, didn't offer any assistance regarding my dog and the fact that I wasn't given the correct information from the doctor. Yet was told "it was noted in the chart" so there was nothing that could be done. When I asked for a GM or the manager above her I was told there wasn't one, yet was then told there was an owner but that they would probably not call me back. Seriously, worst custome...r service I've EVER received. It's only been 6 weeks and my dog has the same issue, and I'm wrong cuz I was the last appt that evening and the doctor rushed out of the room without giving me the correct details. When I asked if that information was listed in my take home paperwork, she suddenly didn't know. Horrible place, and at this point I'm not even sure what they gave my dog was medicine. I can't believe that's how they talk to their paying customers, I'm shocked they're still in business. See more

Lost our baby last week. Spent a lot of money just trying to find out what it was but now I'm glad we did because the series of events is what helped them figure it out. After deciding her quality of life wasn't worth what she would have to go through as an old dog we had her put down.
They were amazing through every step. They reassured us it was the right decision and that definitely helped cope with the terrible situation.
My girl was never scared of the vet. And up until her last breath they made her happy. Feeding her doggie cookies and comforting her. In a few months if we are ready to move on, We will be back with a new family member. Thank you for taking such good care of my old girl.

last October I brought my dog Harley into pet companion for a check up and his shots. I asked them to do a full blood panel on him as his breed is know for developing diabetes. We went south and in late November Harley got sick. I took him to the vet where we were at and he after he checked him he told me my Harley had diabetes and if I hadn't brought him in he would have died. I called Pet companion and asked them what the results of his blood tests were and they told me that his thyroid was fine. I asked them about the full blood panel and they told me that they didn't think it was necessary. Obviously it was, two months and over $1200 dollars later my Harley died. I will never forgive them for that and I just want to warn others about their lax practices

Recently, I took my 8 year old dog in because she was coughing. I thought it was because of the smoke from the Eagle Creek fires, she has a history of allergies and her eyes were a bit runny as well. I took her to Dr Z, hoping to find relief for her cough. Xrays, bloodwork and $600.00 later I am given a pamphlet on megaesophagus, some antibiotics and some obscure comment about feeding my dog meatballs from an elevated position. None of this made sense until I read the pamphle...t. After reading it, I thought, no, that is not at all what she is doing. Her symptoms were nothing like what was described. Later I learned the vet who saw her was fresh out of grad school. The following day they left a message to tell me the radiologist report confirmed megaesophagus and they wanted to do further blood work to test her for myasthenia gravis (more money, right?). I am frustrated so I do not call back, they call again and I speak to Dr Crooks. I explain my frustration, that I don't feel I am being listened to. That Zoey's symptoms are not at all like what either of the above disorders describe but she persists, repeating the request for me to bring her in for blood work. At this point I tell her no, I am taking my dog elsewhere. I ask for the records and am told to have the new vet call and they will send them over. Great! I call early in the morning, make an appointment for that afternoon, give them the phone number for Dr Z's office so they can get the records. I arrive at 5:00pm, they still don't have the records and have been trying to get them all day. They call again. The wonderful doctor examines Zoey and we have a lengthy discussion about her health, past and present. Still no records, at this point the Dr cannot move forward without xrays, so I agree to have more taken. Xrays from Dr Z's office did manage to get there about 10 mins after they were taken again. So the Vet says, yes megaesophagus (I am about to scream) but then he says, wait! Where is her stomach? Is that it in her esophagus? I agree to an endoscopy to confirm and yes, that is it. Her stomach is up in her esophagus but why? Zoey is under so exploratory surgery is performed. Cancer! A huge tumor pushing her stomach into her esophagus, her liver is riddled with it, galbladder completely blocked off. We decide not to wake Zoey up. May she rest in peace...... I will be calling Dr Z's office about a refund, they misdiagnosed her, refused to listen to me about her symptoms and did not send her records over in a timely manner, forcing me to pay for the same tests again. I felt they were more interested in charging me for diagnostics than actually helping my poor dog. I know Zoey would not have survived even if they had done their job but what if I had taken their word for it and treated her for a condition she didn't even have? She would suffered longer than necessary. See more

Took our overly friendly lab into the Salmon Creek office (which we have been going to for years). Our regular vet wasn't working that day so Dr. Zborowski came in to see my dog. We told him that he was having trouble and pain with his hip. Instead of getting down on the floor and looking at his hip he wrapped my dogs snout up, picked him up by his legs and tossed him down on the table. (My dog is an 85lb black lab.) His assistant said "he is in here for pain in his hips, maybe we should be more gentle". The dr. started pulling at his legs until my dog yelped, at this point he stopped and told me my dog has arthritis. They put my dog back on the floor and he was trembling with fear and in pain. When the dr left the room the nurse apologized to us for the dr being rough with our dog. Upon leaving I told the front desk that I did not want that vet handling my dog again, they said that it was no problem and they would make a note of it. My dog is terrified when we take him to the vet now.
The next time we went in, they were short handed. I reminded them that I do not want Dr. Zborowski touching my dog as he roughly handled my dog and left a lasting impression on him and was extremely unprofessional. Within 2 days of being seen at the vet, we have now received a letter telling us that since we do not trust his services we are not allowed to go back to their clinic. No one has called us to find out why, just a letter. I find this very unprofessional. We are not upset at all about having to find a new vet, but to traumatize my dog and then to not try and reach out and find out why or take accountability is very unprofessional.

Took a very sick kitty in on a Friday afternoon. Turns out she needed emergency surgery. The entire staff did not blink eye. Nobody wants a last minute procedure on a Friday afternoon on a beautiful day which have been rare here. I know there is prep procedure clean up and paperwork I'm sure someone had to stay late but they were all happy helpful and pleasant.

Such a great experience for not only us but my pup. I have been here several times for various things and I've had nothing but great service. When we come in they recognize my dog and greet her with love and by name. Courtney is AMAZING! I love how wonderful she is and so compassionate. You can just tell she loves animals.
They are so professional explaining everything to you. And don't they make you feel dumb for not knowing everything about animals. I never have to worry about them doing anything without getting consent and understanding ther price first. I've never felt like they were just trying to get money out of us. I will tell everyone about Companion Pet Clinic in Salmon Creek.

I would highly recommend Companion Pet Clinic! We had an emergency situation with our senior cat suddenly one morning. I had to make a last-minute decision where to take him I'm so glad I decided on Companion that day. Dr. Z was fantastic so knowledgeable and really took the time with us to explain everything and our options. He treated our Charlie like as one of his own. Sadly 10 days later Charlie's time was ending and he was needing to be put down. All the staff there including the front desk, technicians and of course Dr. Z were so caring and in a time that is so sad and devastating it was so nice to be treated like family. We will now take our other pets nowhere but here! Thank you Companion!

the last time I was in the real short haired lady was real irritated by my dogs unfriendlyness so I guess that's why she was unfriendly. I ended up giving the dog to someone and told them about companion pet clinic apparently she used my name and they let her leave without paying which made a bill in my name. I called as soon as I got a bill and explained I thought the problem was handled guess not I got a letter from a collection agency!! I called to handle the issue and a lady called back real nice said the manager would call asap. I got a phone call back and let them know it was fraud (identity theft) she got mad and thought i was calling them frauds and i should have handled it 2years ago.She kept cutting me off and I was TRYING to tell her i did call thought it was resolved and one of her employees must not have handled it she was very rude and kept cutting me off then got mad when I asked her if she was going to listen to what I had to say she abruptly ended the call. I called back and asked who the owner was it was her she said I am so I guess Deanna is the owner!!! She talks to her customers like that! ughh will never go back there again!! Good luck ppl hopefully she can learn some social skills if shes she's trying to run a business.

I was the first person on the sign in sheet. It took 30 minutes for the receptionist to tell me that she needed a rabies shot to get her nails trimmed. And an exam before she can get the shot. Found it odd that last time she was here for her nail trim she didn't need an exam or current vaccines. So $60 bucks later, I'm very dissatisfied with this clinic. The wait time is ridiculous considering there wasn't anybody in front of me. But the staff were all very nice. Just plan on a few hours of your time if you come here.

We have been taking our "Foxred" Lab to the Companion Pet Clinic for years, very happy, and very compationate. Finally the day came when we had to put her down. She had an agressive tumor at the top of her leg, it was too agressive to do anything about it, she was only 10 years old. The doctor could have talked us into spending all kinds of money on treatment for her, but he saw that it would not work and was honest with us. She is now in heaven and I can hardly wait to see her again. Received excellent service from everyone at the clinic.

They were very loving and gentle with her, which was wonderful as Sadie had been at the shelter for quite awhile. Sadie, tried on several occasions to follow the staff to the back area, probably thinking she was going back into a kennel. The staff looked her in the eyes and told her no that she was coming home with me. It was sweet!

The surgeon. Very rude. Does not no how to keep his mouth shut. Ask for owner to call me back. No response. Received a call from the same guy. Still could not keep his mouth shut to listen. Told me they would be doing no more business with me. He stated to me that no homeless person or low income people should not have animals if they could not pay for there upkeep. Tell that to people who has lost everything. He made it clear. His light bill comes first. He showed no compassion for pets what so ever. He took the time to tell me about all his student loans he had to pay back. All the 6 yrs of schooling. Don't worry buddy. Let's make it clear. I will never do any business with you. And i will be very happy to forward your app. To anyone that ask me for a good place to take there pet's.

Dr. Z is the most loving, caring, smart, kind and most of all VERY compassionate and loving towards our dogs and cat.
A week ago we had to say good bye to our precious cat Miss. Khloe. She was our shinning light in this crazy world. Always purring, sharing kisses and always ready and willing for that tummy scratch. She was the "Mom" to her doggies....the Queen of the house.
We took her to Dr.Z a few times to try to figure out what was wrong. Her hip, leg and paw were filled with fluid. Dr. Z tried a few things and not ONCE over charged us or took advantage of our soft hearts. Well, our baby started getting sicker and we opted not to put her through hell. Dr.Z helped us make the right decision for our little love.
Loosing your pet is one of the most emotional traumas you will have to go through. Dr. Z loved her just as much as we did. We all three sat in the exam room and cried. He gave her something to relax her, we gathered around her, talked to her, loved on her and made sure she knew we would not leave her side. As I whispered in her ear she past with grace and beauty. Purring all the way..... The next day...we received flowers from Dr. Z and staff, we were actually sending some to him as well!
We recommend that you make Dr.Z your permanent vet. We are so thankful for him. I have the greatest picture of him and our Mamma Kitty that I am posting with this review. Those were her last moments and we are so happy we got to share that time with our Dr.Z

I have never had a pet before nor have I ever taken a pet to the vet. I have a very sick young cat and didn't know what to do with him or how taking him to the vet works. So this is the first place I call today. I pass it everyday so it stuck out in my head. After the initial hello I explain my situation and get a very curt "Exam is 29.50 and we are walk in. Is that all?" Seems kind of a cold for a guy telling you he is clueless and wants more info on the process. Guess I'll drive a little further to get my little guy better.

They toked us for everything we had and then try saying we need to put our dog Christina down. We toked our dog to a different vet and they said we don't have to put her down and gave us food and meds for her which really helps. She is doing so much better now. So I'm telling you all don't listen to this vet if they say that you have to put your pet down take it somewhere else to get a different opinion

I brought in my 11-year old cat on 4/23. She had been showing signs, to me of dying. Not eating, listless, some vomiting, and diarrhea. I am a farm person. I know the signs of death. I spent $256.32 for tests. They said "in their opinion" it was hyperthyroidism. I had a cat years ago with this. He ate but still lost weight. I chose to treat her, bad decision on my part, because I thought the vets knew what they were doing. She just got worst and started vomiting blood. Thank heaven for St. Francis Vet nary . They kindly put her to sleep. I will never go back to Companion. These people need to go back to vet nary School.

Everyone was extremely caring and compassionate. My 7 year old cat, Mia, had gotten very sick so I brought her to CRVS first but they were of no help. (horrible experience, I will never bring a pet there again)
CPC Salmon Creek was recommended by a friend as I'm new to Vancouver and we didn't have a vet. Dr. Janine Aranyos was considerate and listened to my concerns. She took blood and gave my cat subcutaneous fluids (at no charge to me). The next morning Dr Holley Crooks called me with the dismal results, asked how Mia was and we discussed options. It was then that I decided euthanasia was the best decision for my kitty. They had a room set aside for me and Mia when we arrived so we didn't have to be in the waiting room. I was a wreck and Dr Crooks reassured me I was making the right decision, because even with the most aggressive care, Mia most likely wouldn't make it. Even Courtney the Vet Tech even cried with me. All of the staff were kind, wonderful and really understand the human-animal bond.
UPDATE: I received a sympathy card in the mail signed by the staff and a little piece of paper with Mia's paw print on it. That's such a thoughtful touching addition to the card. I will frame and keep it.

They have excellent veterinarians however the front end staff is absolutely horrible and unprofessional. When you walk in and they don't acknowledge your presence for 20 minutes and then when you walk out it seems like they could care less.

Vancouver, Washington

General Info
Our Services:
Wellness Exams: Each pet should have a full physical exam each year. This can be a good time to keep yearly boosters up to date. As pets become older, two yearly exams are recommended as well as annual blood work. Exams are always done on a walk-in basis.
Urgent Care: We accept all walk-ins to include urgent care cases during business hours. We have full hospital services.
Puppy & Kitten Packages: Providing puppies and kittens with their complete series of vaccines will protect them from life threatening diseases that can be difficult and costly to treat. Introducing your pet to the veterinary clinic and staff at an early age can often minimize fear of going to the vet later in life.
Each package includes:
• Two physical exams with the doctor, one at the time of the first visit, then at the end of the series with the rabies vaccine.
• All vaccines for the first year of life.
• Parasite fecal testing
• Two dewormers
• Kittens will also receive feline leukemia and FIV testing
Senior Package: Our pets age at a much quicker rate them we do and are considered senior pets between the ages of 5–8 years, depending on breed and health condition. Due to the increased age rate, health problems can develop much quicker. Frequent exams will help prevent some health problems and catch others early. This can help keep your pet much happier and help keep treatment cost down considerably.
Package includes:
• Two physical exams (six months apart)
• Full blood panel (cbc, chem, w/lipase)
• Thyroid testing
• Pancreatic testing (canine only)
• Urinalysis
• Two parasite fecal testing (six months apart)
Vaccinations: We offer affordable vaccinations daily. The first Saturday of each month we have our vaccine clinic. Already low prices are reduced to ensure all pets receive much needed vaccinations.
Health Certificate: For our world travelers, we offer full physical exam by a Federally Accredited Veterinarian with a Dept. of Agriculture Certificate of Health.
ISO Microchip: Bring your loved ones home when lost or stolen with an inter-term microchip. This 15 digit chip at 134.2 kHz frequency is the international standard required for travel to Hawaii, and internationally.
Surgery: We offer all non-specialty surgical needs. Appointments are required for all anesthetic procedures. New pets require an exam prior to any surgical procedure except routine spays and neuters.
Affordable Spays & Neuters: Spaying and neutering is recommended for all companion cats and dogs. It can decrease risk for certain cancers and health problems later in life as well as reducing pet over–population. We, at Companion feel it is a community service to ensure we spay/neuter as many pets we can. This is why you will find our prices much lower than our competitors.
Orthopedics: Our doctor is experienced in fracture repair, hip repair, and cruciate ligament repair along with many other orthopedic procedures.
Soft Tissue: With urgent care, the need for soft tissue surgery is great. From lacerations, abscess repair, to intestinal foreign bodies and many other soft tissue surgical services.
Dentistry: (current exam required with all dentals) Yearly oral exams will help your veterinarian and you develop the best dental plan for your pet. Routinely, most pets need a dental cleaning around 3–6 years of age. Instilling good oral habits early, such as brushing, can help your pet live a longer and healthier life, while you benefit with less expense for dental cleanings.
• We strongly recommend an exam with the doctor for senior and at risk patients.
If able, you can bring your pet in for an exam prior to the day of dental.
Laboratory: We offer full on-site diagnostics including blood analysis, cytology, viral testing, parasite and fecal testing, urinalysis, and electrocardiograms.
We also have full digital radiographic (x-ray) services.
Nutrition: We carry a variety of prescription diets by Hills Science Diet™, Purina™, and Royal Canin™ including many diets for patients with allergies.

In regards to Chris Mangan's review:
The puppy was presented with ingestion of a large bottle of children's gummy bear vitamins where the owner was uncertain if the puppy had eaten the large cap to the bottle as well. I suggested scout radiographs of the abdomen to determine whether or not the puppy had ingested the bottle cap as well. The owner received a call from her boyfriend who informed her the cap was not eaten so radiographs were not taken. I then induced vomiting with apomorphine. In the mean time I was in contact with ASPCA Poison Control where the doctor agreed that inducing vomiting was the right thing to do. The big question now was whether or not xylitol was an ingredient. If xylitol was present in a small amount it can cause low blood glucose and at that larger amounts can increase liver enzymes, cause profound hepatic damage, and even larger amounts (over 800 mg/kg) liver failure and and a need for plasma transfusions. Activated charcoal and intralipid 20 would not be helpful as they will not bind to xylitol. They suggested an injection of Cerenia for helping the gut. The boyfriend did not want to pay for the injection of Apomorphine, which the doctor at the ASPCA Poison Control agreed was the right thing to do. The boyfriend contacted the BBB and they contacted us about the issue and informed us that the owners wanted to be reimbursed for the cost of the injection ($27.93) used to induce vomiting. My decision was that it was not worth the hassle to fight with someone who clearly could not possibly understand, although I tried to explain to him why the injection was given. Therefore, we refunded the money to him. Dr. Z

A huge thank you to this specific Companion clinic, the staff there is such a major help! They know what they're doing, and are more than willing to help with rare situations like if you're going to travel with pet like I am. Special thanks to Holley (vet), who's been outstandingly helpful and understanding.
Prices is fair and too be expected, not too much of hassle.
Thank you again! I will be back to finish up a treatment before we'll be on my way, wouldn't go to any other vet clinic😀

A few days after we were at home grieving our loss and we got a moving sympathy card signed by the staff. Included were paw prints of our dog. They went above and beyond what they need to do.

Today I brought my mom in from Longview with her cat that had a back injury. He couldn't move his back legs and screamed when you would move his body. We brought him in wrapped in a couple towels and a blanket.. mind you he can't move or walk at all. She had him cradled in her arms. We didn't have a carrier with us and wouldn't have considered putting him in a carrier cause we didn't want to hurt him anymore than he already was.... when we got in to this vet office which I already bring my pet too the receptionist told me we can't come in to the build if the cat isn't in the carrier. I told her I can run home which is across town and grab his carrier so can she wait here? Keep in mind this cat is in bad shape. She said no she can stand outside and wait till I get the carrier . It is cold and raining and neither one should be standing and waiting in the rain. Then she offer to sell me a animal carrier if I was interested. Then I ask since this was an emergency couldn't we get him back in a room instead and she said sure it will be 500.00 dollars for him to get a room. Tell me what is wrong with the receptionist. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT LIKE THAT!!! Lady you are seriously a sad excuse for a human..... Never will I recommend the place and would highly recommend going somewhere else cause they do not have the best interest of your family member/ fury friend. Thanks for everything companion pet salmon creek!!!

Terrible customer service, horrible office manager named Sara. Talked to me like I was stupid, didn't offer any assistance regarding my dog and the fact that I wasn't given the correct information from the doctor. Yet was told "it was noted in the chart" so there was nothing that could be done. When I asked for a GM or the manager above her I was told there wasn't one, yet was then told there was an owner but that they would probably not call me back. Seriously, worst custome...r service I've EVER received. It's only been 6 weeks and my dog has the same issue, and I'm wrong cuz I was the last appt that evening and the doctor rushed out of the room without giving me the correct details. When I asked if that information was listed in my take home paperwork, she suddenly didn't know. Horrible place, and at this point I'm not even sure what they gave my dog was medicine. I can't believe that's how they talk to their paying customers, I'm shocked they're still in business. See more

Lost our baby last week. Spent a lot of money just trying to find out what it was but now I'm glad we did because the series of events is what helped them figure it out. After deciding her quality of life wasn't worth what she would have to go through as an old dog we had her put down.
They were amazing through every step. They reassured us it was the right decision and that definitely helped cope with the terrible situation.
My girl was never scared of the vet. And up until her last breath they made her happy. Feeding her doggie cookies and comforting her. In a few months if we are ready to move on, We will be back with a new family member. Thank you for taking such good care of my old girl.

last October I brought my dog Harley into pet companion for a check up and his shots. I asked them to do a full blood panel on him as his breed is know for developing diabetes. We went south and in late November Harley got sick. I took him to the vet where we were at and he after he checked him he told me my Harley had diabetes and if I hadn't brought him in he would have died. I called Pet companion and asked them what the results of his blood tests were and they told me that his thyroid was fine. I asked them about the full blood panel and they told me that they didn't think it was necessary. Obviously it was, two months and over $1200 dollars later my Harley died. I will never forgive them for that and I just want to warn others about their lax practices

Recently, I took my 8 year old dog in because she was coughing. I thought it was because of the smoke from the Eagle Creek fires, she has a history of allergies and her eyes were a bit runny as well. I took her to Dr Z, hoping to find relief for her cough. Xrays, bloodwork and $600.00 later I am given a pamphlet on megaesophagus, some antibiotics and some obscure comment about feeding my dog meatballs from an elevated position. None of this made sense until I read the pamphle...t. After reading it, I thought, no, that is not at all what she is doing. Her symptoms were nothing like what was described. Later I learned the vet who saw her was fresh out of grad school. The following day they left a message to tell me the radiologist report confirmed megaesophagus and they wanted to do further blood work to test her for myasthenia gravis (more money, right?). I am frustrated so I do not call back, they call again and I speak to Dr Crooks. I explain my frustration, that I don't feel I am being listened to. That Zoey's symptoms are not at all like what either of the above disorders describe but she persists, repeating the request for me to bring her in for blood work. At this point I tell her no, I am taking my dog elsewhere. I ask for the records and am told to have the new vet call and they will send them over. Great! I call early in the morning, make an appointment for that afternoon, give them the phone number for Dr Z's office so they can get the records. I arrive at 5:00pm, they still don't have the records and have been trying to get them all day. They call again. The wonderful doctor examines Zoey and we have a lengthy discussion about her health, past and present. Still no records, at this point the Dr cannot move forward without xrays, so I agree to have more taken. Xrays from Dr Z's office did manage to get there about 10 mins after they were taken again. So the Vet says, yes megaesophagus (I am about to scream) but then he says, wait! Where is her stomach? Is that it in her esophagus? I agree to an endoscopy to confirm and yes, that is it. Her stomach is up in her esophagus but why? Zoey is under so exploratory surgery is performed. Cancer! A huge tumor pushing her stomach into her esophagus, her liver is riddled with it, galbladder completely blocked off. We decide not to wake Zoey up. May she rest in peace...... I will be calling Dr Z's office about a refund, they misdiagnosed her, refused to listen to me about her symptoms and did not send her records over in a timely manner, forcing me to pay for the same tests again. I felt they were more interested in charging me for diagnostics than actually helping my poor dog. I know Zoey would not have survived even if they had done their job but what if I had taken their word for it and treated her for a condition she didn't even have? She would suffered longer than necessary. See more

Dr Z and Dr Crooks were awesome. Dr Crooks found out the problem with Buddy and called to walk me through the options. Dr Z was there today to walk us through putting him to sleep. He cried with us. Can't beat that for care. And Nicole and Lori were great with hugs and special effort for our cat. Love this place...great!!!

Took our overly friendly lab into the Salmon Creek office (which we have been going to for years). Our regular vet wasn't working that day so Dr. Zborowski came in to see my dog. We told him that he was having trouble and pain with his hip. Instead of getting down on the floor and looking at his hip he wrapped my dogs snout up, picked him up by his legs and tossed him down on the table. (My dog is an 85lb black lab.) His assistant said "he is in here for pain in his hips, maybe we should be more gentle". The dr. started pulling at his legs until my dog yelped, at this point he stopped and told me my dog has arthritis. They put my dog back on the floor and he was trembling with fear and in pain. When the dr left the room the nurse apologized to us for the dr being rough with our dog. Upon leaving I told the front desk that I did not want that vet handling my dog again, they said that it was no problem and they would make a note of it. My dog is terrified when we take him to the vet now.
The next time we went in, they were short handed. I reminded them that I do not want Dr. Zborowski touching my dog as he roughly handled my dog and left a lasting impression on him and was extremely unprofessional. Within 2 days of being seen at the vet, we have now received a letter telling us that since we do not trust his services we are not allowed to go back to their clinic. No one has called us to find out why, just a letter. I find this very unprofessional. We are not upset at all about having to find a new vet, but to traumatize my dog and then to not try and reach out and find out why or take accountability is very unprofessional.

Took a very sick kitty in on a Friday afternoon. Turns out she needed emergency surgery. The entire staff did not blink eye. Nobody wants a last minute procedure on a Friday afternoon on a beautiful day which have been rare here. I know there is prep procedure clean up and paperwork I'm sure someone had to stay late but they were all happy helpful and pleasant. Kitty got great care and everyone was just as pleasant when I picked her up the next. Bad day GREAT experience!

Such a great experience for not only us but my pup. I have been here several times for various things and I've had nothing but great service. When we come in they recognize my dog and greet her with love and by name. Courtney is AMAZING! I love how wonderful she is and so compassionate. You can just tell she loves animals.
They are so professional explaining everything to you. And don't they make you feel dumb for not knowing everything about animals. I never have to worry about them doing anything without getting consent and understanding ther price first. I've never felt like they were just trying to get money out of us. I will tell everyone about Companion Pet Clinic in Salmon Creek.

I would highly recommend Companion Pet Clinic! We had an emergency situation with our senior cat suddenly one morning. I had to make a last-minute decision where to take him I'm so glad I decided on Companion that day. Dr. Z was fantastic so knowledgeable and really took the time with us to explain everything and our options. He treated our Charlie like as one of his own. Sadly 10 days later Charlie's time was ending and he was needing to be put down. All the staff there including the front desk, technicians and of course Dr. Z were so caring and in a time that is so sad and devastating it was so nice to be treated like family. We will now take our other pets nowhere but here! Thank you Companion!

the last time I was in the real short haired lady was real irritated by my dogs unfriendlyness so I guess that's why she was unfriendly. I ended up giving the dog to someone and told them about companion pet clinic apparently she used my name and they let her leave without paying which made a bill in my name. I called as soon as I got a bill and explained I thought the problem was handled guess not I got a letter from a collection agency!! I called to handle the issue and a lady called back real nice said the manager would call asap. I got a phone call back and let them know it was fraud (identity theft) she got mad and thought i was calling them frauds and i should have handled it 2years ago.She kept cutting me off and I was TRYING to tell her i did call thought it was resolved and one of her employees must not have handled it she was very rude and kept cutting me off then got mad when I asked her if she was going to listen to what I had to say she abruptly ended the call. I called back and asked who the owner was it was her she said I am so I guess Deanna is the owner!!! She talks to her customers like that! ughh will never go back there again!! Good luck ppl hopefully she can learn some social skills if shes she's trying to run a business.

I was the first person on the sign in sheet. It took 30 minutes for the receptionist to tell me that she needed a rabies shot to get her nails trimmed. And an exam before she can get the shot. Found it odd that last time she was here for her nail trim she didn't need an exam or current vaccines. So $60 bucks later, I'm very dissatisfied with this clinic. The wait time is ridiculous considering there wasn't anybody in front of me. But the staff were all very nice. Just plan on a few hours of your time if you come here.

We have been taking our "Foxred" Lab to the Companion Pet Clinic for years, very happy, and very compationate. Finally the day came when we had to put her down. She had an agressive tumor at the top of her leg, it was too agressive to do anything about it, she was only 10 years old. The doctor could have talked us into spending all kinds of money on treatment for her, but he saw that it would not work and was honest with us. She is now in heaven and I can hardly wait to see her again. Received excellent service from everyone at the clinic.

Thank you Dr. Z for taking suck great care of my family. You are a compassionate and caring man. A few years ago when I had cancer and my cat was hurt you and your staff went above and beyond to help get him healthy. You not only care for my pet but cared that I stayed healthy too. And today you treated me poor old beagle and helped fix her sore neck. Thank you!

I took our new dog, Sadie, there yesterday for her first check-up after we adopted her from the Human Society. They were very loving and gentle with her, which was wonderful as Sadie had been at the shelter for quite awhile. Sadie, tried on several occasions to follow the staff to the back area, probably thinking she was going back into a kennel. The staff looked her in the eyes and told her no that she was coming home with me. It was sweet!

The surgeon. Very rude. Does not no how to keep his mouth shut. Ask for owner to call me back. No response. Received a call from the same guy. Still could not keep his mouth shut to listen. Told me they would be doing no more business with me. He stated to me that no homeless person or low income people should not have animals if they could not pay for there upkeep. Tell that to people who has lost everything. He made it clear. His light bill comes first. He showed no compassion for pets what so ever. He took the time to tell me about all his student loans he had to pay back. All the 6 yrs of schooling. Don't worry buddy. Let's make it clear. I will never do any business with you. And i will be very happy to forward your app. To anyone that ask me for a good place to take there pet's.

Dr. Z is the most loving, caring, smart, kind and most of all VERY compassionate and loving towards our dogs and cat.
A week ago we had to say good bye to our precious cat Miss. Khloe. She was our shinning light in this crazy world. Always purring, sharing kisses and always ready and willing for that tummy scratch. She was the "Mom" to her doggies....the Queen of the house.
We took her to Dr.Z a few times to try to figure out what was wrong. Her hip, leg and paw were filled with fluid. Dr. Z tried a few things and not ONCE over charged us or took advantage of our soft hearts. Well, our baby started getting sicker and we opted not to put her through hell. Dr.Z helped us make the right decision for our little love.
Loosing your pet is one of the most emotional traumas you will have to go through. Dr. Z loved her just as much as we did. We all three sat in the exam room and cried. He gave her something to relax her, we gathered around her, talked to her, loved on her and made sure she knew we would not leave her side. As I whispered in her ear she past with grace and beauty. Purring all the way..... The next day...we received flowers from Dr. Z and staff, we were actually sending some to him as well!
We recommend that you make Dr.Z your permanent vet. We are so thankful for him. I have the greatest picture of him and our Mamma Kitty that I am posting with this review. Those were her last moments and we are so happy we got to share that time with our Dr.Z

I have never had a pet before nor have I ever taken a pet to the vet. I have a very sick young cat and didn't know what to do with him or how taking him to the vet works. So this is the first place I call today. I pass it everyday so it stuck out in my head. After the initial hello I explain my situation and get a very curt "Exam is 29.50 and we are walk in. Is that all?" Seems kind of a cold for a guy telling you he is clueless and wants more info on the process. Guess I'll drive a little further to get my little guy better.

They toked us for everything we had and then try saying we need to put our dog Christina down. We toked our dog to a different vet and they said we don't have to put her down and gave us food and meds for her which really helps. She is doing so much better now. So I'm telling you all don't listen to this vet if they say that you have to put your pet down take it somewhere else to get a different opinion

I brought in my 11-year old cat on 4/23. She had been showing signs, to me of dying. Not eating, listless, some vomiting, and diarrhea. I am a farm person. I know the signs of death. I spent $256.32 for tests. They said "in their opinion" it was hyperthyroidism. I had a cat years ago with this. He ate but still lost weight. I chose to treat her, bad decision on my part, because I thought the vets knew what they were doing. She just got worst and started vomiting blood. Thank heaven for St. Francis Vet nary . They kindly put her to sleep. I will never go back to Companion. These people need to go back to vet nary School.

Everyone was extremely caring and compassionate. My 7 year old cat, Mia, had gotten very sick so I brought her to CRVS first but they were of no help. (horrible experience, I will never bring a pet there again)
CPC Salmon Creek was recommended by a friend as I'm new to Vancouver and we didn't have a vet. Dr. Janine Aranyos was considerate and listened to my concerns. She took blood and gave my cat subcutaneous fluids (at no charge to me). The next morning Dr Holley Crooks called me with the dismal results, asked how Mia was and we discussed options. It was then that I decided euthanasia was the best decision for my kitty. They had a room set aside for me and Mia when we arrived so we didn't have to be in the waiting room. I was a wreck and Dr Crooks reassured me I was making the right decision, because even with the most aggressive care, Mia most likely wouldn't make it. Even Courtney the Vet Tech even cried with me. All of the staff were kind, wonderful and really understand the human-animal bond.
UPDATE: I received a sympathy card in the mail signed by the staff and a little piece of paper with Mia's paw print on it. That's such a thoughtful touching addition to the card. I will frame and keep it.

They have excellent veterinarians however the front end staff is absolutely horrible and unprofessional. When you walk in and they don't acknowledge your presence for 20 minutes and then when you walk out it seems like they could care less. They took six phone calls while we sat in the waiting room with absolutely no acknowledgment of our presence.. We're going somewhere else

Dr.Z. is the best. He really wants what's best for your pet. He is not out to line his pockets and will be as considerate about your pocket book as if it were his own. He even walked me to the naturopathic dept. at Freddy's next door to get the right supplement for Roxy when I couldn't find it. Try and get that kind of care somewhere else.
