professional groomer's opinion by bernie s. at InsiderPages
I have been a professional dog groomer for 15+ years. I have had experience with all kinds of dogs, cats and their owners. After reading some of these comments I was convinced that in most cases there are two sides of a story, and only one is being told here. I personally have taken ALL my pets to the wonderful doctors and staff at this particular companion pet clinic. They have always treated all my pets and me with the utmost in care, compassion and professionalism. Dealing with the public has taught me that you can never please all people all the time. I think what people don't understand is that even a veterinarian has to make a living. He/She has bills to pay and an overhead just as every other business person in the United States does. Of course they would love to give all their services and products away at NO charge, and be just like James Harriot...but in all reality the world doesn't work that way. And I think that this website has done an extreme injustice to this establishment by printing these comments. The insider pages doesn't know the facts and doesn't research the facts. They don't cover both sides of the story. So I am here to voice the TRUTH.I will never take my pets anywhere else and I highly recommend to my clients that they take their animals there as well. They have worked on my dogs, cats, birds and rodents. All were treated in the kindest and gentlest way. And I never left the clinic without feeling grateful to the staff for the job they had done. And their prices were very competitive with other local establishments. They always offer every service to me, I might not be able to afford all that they have offered, but as a consumer I have the power to make my own decisions with the help of their competent staff. If you took your own child to a doctor and they didn't offer all possible options to save your child wouldn't you be very upset? I

Don't go to this one! by Julia S. at InsiderPages
I took my dog to this clinic in January for his neutering. As the other reviews had said they tried to get you to do so many additional tests and all this stuff that was not necessary. Yesterday, I took him to the Beaverton Companion Pet Clinic off Allen and it was 10 times better. The doctor had me just watch some spots that I was concerned about and they even told me I didn't need to get him one of the shots that I thought he needed. They aren't just trying to make money, they actual will tell you what you need and should do for your pet. Go to the Beaverton one, NOT ALOHA! It's walk-in too so you don't need an appointment.

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.

At that point I called the CPC closest to my home (82nd Ave) and took my cat there. They suspected that it had some kind of bug, gave it meds and a water pack at no charge so it would get better. (this clinic is owned by another owner the same one that owns the Beaverton clinic) Anyway my cat was doing much better so I was ok. Then within a week, more of my cats started getting sick.
By the time of the writing I have lost 7 cats to this bug. I went to a emergency vet with one of them and they told me it was viral and very agressive and since cats under 1 year were most vunrable that I could expect to lose anything under a year. They said they could try and find it and treat it but most likely it would not be in time. They were correct as all 7 of these cats died within a 48 hour time period. My only cats to survive this were my four cats over 2 years.
When I called the clinic they said they knew nothing about a virus that my cat could have picked up while there. I find this very odd since all my cats were inside pets and the only time any of them had left the house in the last six months was for this one neuter.
Be careful, this had to be picked up from there, either from another cat or from an area that was not cleaned properly.
