I absolutely love this vet hospital. So much so, I'll drive the extra miles to get there from Portland. They are straight shooters, have very reasonable rates, don't try to up sell you on crap you don't need, and are very nice. We have an old, but other wise healthy doggie. But the vets in Portland just want to over treat her and put her under for surgeries that aren't absolutely necessary, instead of taking more conservative measures and see how things go. The vet in Portland was estimating a teeth cleaning topping out at $1700! Because our dog is older and has a heart condition that makes anesthesia danger for her, Camas Washougal Animal Hospital suggested we try an antibiotic for oral bacteria and some special snacks to chip tartar off her teeth. That option really worked. And it only cost us about $70 for an exam, the meds and the prescription doggie treats. Don't get me wrong. We will spend money on our pets. Believe me, we have. And lots, for speciality surgeries that saved her life. But at some point Portland vets need to stop thinking our pockets are deeper than some Wall Street a-hole's and try some more affordable options first.CWAH is not a swank, posh clinic like you see in the Pearl. It's clean, a little worn around the edges, but honestly, my dog thinks the bushes all smell about the same out in front, and she's color blind so could care less about the decor. She loves the vets too. So she's happy. I'm happy.Thanks CWAH! You all rock! Read Less
