Companion Animal Clinic

"Though a bit of a drive, I've been taking my pets to CAC for several years now. I hold in high regard all those who work there. The docs, techs and folks at the front desk are exceptional. Thanks CAC for your outstanding care and service."

"Unlike experiences with other northern Va veterinary clinics, Companion was all good. The doctors, techs, and staff were courteous, professional, and very kind to our dog. We strongly recommend this clinic with no reservations."

"Sadly, I am changing a review I left prior. First experience was decent-but it’s gone downhill ever since. My initial visit in March 2023 was based solely on the fact they were not requiring patrons to wear a face diaper. It was shocking to see how many Vets were requiring visitors to wear a mask in the year 2023. I thought the front desk staff was decent, nothing special but not that bad. The Vet herself seemed pleasant. They did try to sucker me into some plan like a cheap PetSmart would-this is a turn off-If I wanted a discount Vet I would have gone to a PetSmart. Anyway, aside from this they seemed okay. It was the most recent visits and follow up calls/messages that turned me away from this practice. After adopting two precious miniature poodles and bringing them in for their puppy check up and initial shots that things wet south. Numerous times I have been called with “meds ready”, “appointment missed”, “a balance due” on my other dog who hadn’t been in to see them since March, “No meds needed” and then another “meds waiting for pickup”. All these calls were wrong-as each staff member, including the practice manager were mistakenly calling me and mixing up what the vet had said. It seems no one knows what is going on. The front desk is chaotic-their records are all confused, which leads one to believe their care may be as confused as their staff and records. I’d hate for the staff to order the wrong meds for someone’s beloved pet-but it wouldn’t shock me. I’d be very weary of using this vet until they can get a new practice manager and front desk staff. The place needs to close, rehire and train staff, and deep clean. The floors are filthy-chairs are dirty-but the staff seems to always be talking (loudly) and hanging out. Maybe, if they talked less they could clean and keep their patient records straight."

"I needed to board my cat for the first time since he was diagnosed with diabetes, so was a bit nervous. I’d not been to Companion before but they had space for my cat. They were so nice when I dropped off my cat that I feel he is in good hands and I’m happy that they will be taking care of him over Christmas. Even though they are a bit of a hike from my house, they are worth the trip!"

"Absolutely wonderful doctors and staff! We have been clients for 20 years and have always received the highest quality care, attention, and when the situation arose, compassion. I think the world of all the people at Companion Animal Clinic."
