Dr. Slaunwhite and the team took great care of our dog Farley recently. I appreciate how thorough they are with explaining things and taking the time to ensure you understand everything. I’ll continue to take my animals to Companion!

Reviews
We've only ever had great experiences at Companion Animal Hospital. This week was no different when we brought my cat in for her yearly check-up. We showed up a few minutes early and were taken right through to the exam room. Our cat is very nervous around strangers but the vet was such a kind and calming presence that she sat perfectly on the table the whole time. The vet explained everything very well and made my cat's least favourite day of the year as quick and painless as could be.
We’ve been at Companion for many many years and can’t imagine trusting the care of our fur babies to anymore else. Dr Slauenwhite and the whole team are the perfect mix of expertise, professionalism and care.
