We had a minor emergency with one of our two dogs and Dr. Latawiec fit us in fairly quickly. It turned out the dog needed to be sedated prior to a quick procedure and Dr. L and RVT Carmen took amazing care of my dog and his stressed owner. Lol The vets and all of the staff here are amazing.
Thank you to Dr. Benoit and all the staff who look after our dog Maggie. Maggie goes absolutely nuts every time she visits the clinic (monthly), and I appreciate everyone’s patience as we try to have Maggie treated! I highly recommend this entire Vet office to anyone with pets. Jean P
I can't say enough great things about this clinic, every visit with my dogs has been a positive experience! They prioritize the well-being of their patients, including those who are fearful or uncomfortable with handling and vet care. The staff can read dog body language well, adjusting their approach to ensure my dogs feel safe and secure. I really appreciate their efforts to check that the waiting area clear when we come/go, which helps my pup who is fearful of strangers. Their understanding of both health and behavior makes what could be a stressful situation so much easier! We see Dr. Amy, she has been thorough and attentive, listens to my concerns and never makes me feel like I am being “too much” for asking questions. I appreciate the time she takes with us and her treatment recommendations have greatly improved my dogs' wellness and daily care. In addition to vet visits, we've participated in training classes (online and in person) and private fear-free sessions, all of which have been game-changers. The qualified trainers and positive reinforcement methods have helped build my dog's confidence in many different situations. Special thanks to Janna, Christy, and Jessica for your support! I love that this is an independently owned, family-run clinic. Its clear that the Benoits are committed to providing the highest level of care, while setting a standard of compassion and fear-free practices for their clients and the community. The service and attention we've received has exceeded my expectations on every level. I highly recommend their services and wish all pets could experience the same level of care, consideration, and support in their veterinary treatments. Thank you to the Companion team for everything you do! We woof you- Alecia, Lala & Dale
