We’re Here to Help

We’re here to help, from their earliest days of life on through to their golden years.

What to Expect at Your Pet’s Appointment

When you walk into Companion Animal Hospital, you will be welcomed into a clean veterinary clinic with a good smell (we are proud to get compliments on it). Typically, you and your pet will have a minimal waiting period in the lobby. We bring our patients into an exam room to wait there if one is available. Your pet will have their exam with the vet and veterinary assistants. We are always happy to answer any questions about your pet’s care. When it is time for check-out, that takes place in the exam room to minimize the stress on your companion and our other patients. As always, we thank you for trusting us with your pet’s care.
