Companion Veterinary and Urgent Care Center 3915 Cortez Road West, Bradenton, FL 34210

"Urgent care in an extremely difficult situation. The entire staff was truly compassionate and caring. They go far beyond what anyone could expect. I highly recommend them to anyone."

"Dr. Ilona’s Ambros was Amazing. We were taken back right away and they took care of my little Bichon who landed on a bed odd sans spurs. You are first greeted on the phone by wonderful Maria, she told us to come right in. She is as nice on the phone as she is in person. Great place to take your your fur baby! Loved this place!!❤️"

"We recently moved to the area and had not yet established a relationship with a veterinarian for our senior dog, Lizzy. When we noticed an unusual growth in Lizzy’s mouth, we brought her to ​Companion Veterinary and Urgent Care Center. Lizzy was seen right away and received wonderful care during her first visit, subsequent surgery, and follow-up appointment. The staff and veterinarians simply could not have been more compassionate or professional, and Lizzy has now recovered completely. We are so fortunate to have found ​Companion Veterinary and Urgent Care Center for Lizzy’s recent care, and are looking forward to returning for her ongoing healthy pet care visits."

"This place is amazing. All other emergency vet waits were 4.5-5 hours long. Companion got us in an operatory very quickly. My dog had bloody diarrhea and was throwing up yellow bile, and I was terrified. Their operatories are comfortable and pet/owner friendly. They triage, so your wait depends on severity of each case, which is completely understandable. They were kind to me and amazing with my dog who has been abused and is typically very skittish. You could tell she felt comfortable with the staff, and that's a rarity. The staff there is all wonderfully educated, kind, compassionate, and caring. You can tell that they really love what they do. Lily received excellent care- the vet sat down in the chair across from me and spoke to me one on one about my dog's condition and treatment plan. It didn't feel rushed. She spent time with us to make sure we understood everything we needed to know. Prices were as I expected for a veterinary office, but they also offer 3rd party payment plans with 0% interest if you qualify. You will know what the fees will be prior to them completing any services, so you have the opportunity to accept or decline any of the suggested treatment (although I went forward with everything). I did not feel like they were trying to upsell or give my dog anything that she didn't actually need. I will be leaving my vets office and establishing Lily here, as they also offer general veterinary services. I was beyond impressed with our experience here. As an emergency patient, we spent about 3 hours total there, but I wouldn't change anything about our experience. I know they were providing excellent care to animals who needed their attention in a more timely manner than mine. They have very flexible hours in order to accommodate emergencies. I will be recommending this veterinary office to all my friends and family with fur babies. Thank you all for a phenomenal experience in our time of need."

"I started here as an emergency & very quickly requested that my dog's records be transferred as a regular patient. Lola was an older pet with some health issues, this staff was always so caring! Even if we were just in for a regular service, Lola would walk right in on her own! Lola loved the staff & I think she knew she was in good hands. Eventually Lola passed & I couldn't imagine having a more supportive group of people to get me through that very painful day as well as the time following. When Gia came along It was not a second thought who I would choose to provide her care. I only want the best for my pets and in my opinion I have found that."
