I have had nothing but great experience. They have been caring and understanding. They have been there when it was time to say our goodbyes and we will be continuing taking our fur babies there. Thank you Companion for all that you do and have continued to do.Krystal P.Krystal P. ★★★★★ TL;DR: FANTASTIC care! Wonderful people! 10/10 recommend !Long Version: I’ve been coming to Dr Chaffin at Companion for almost 17 years with my cats (and occasionally a rat), and I can honestly say I’ve never had a vet that was so personable, smart, well-researched, up to date, and genuinely caring.Dr Chaffin helped me with an insulin-dependent cat who lived to be over 18 after being diabetic for 12 years. During that time, he (my cat, not Dr Chaffin) needed multiple changes in type and dosage of insulin, and his other medical care was more complex because of his diabetes. It says a lot about Dr Chaffin’s care of my cat over those 12 years that he (my cat) lived a very long and very happy life.Dr Chaffin has also had the sad honor of helping several of my beloved pets out of this world, and the process was as gentle as it could possibly be in these circumstances. I really appreciated the separate exit from “the sad room” so that I didn’t have to go back through the main waiting area after. (Wow! What a thoughtful, caring little touch that I’ve never seen in a vet’s office before!)I feel like my pets get very comprehensive care at Companion, that their facilities and equipment are very modern and clean, and that the people who work there are all just super friendly. I rarely say this about any business, but it honestly seems like a family there. I love that the same people have worked there so long - they’ve known all my pets, they’ve watched my daughter grow up, it just feels warm and fuzzy.Hear hear for Dr Chaffin! He’s got some other vets working there now too, but I don’t know them as well. I’m sure if Dr Chaffin selected them, they’re excellent. Highly recommend!Morro S.Morro S. ★★★★★ Gone here for over 20 years, wouldn't take my cat anywhere else!Jason S.Jason S. ★★★★★ I have been going here for almost 20 years and will always trust them with my fur babies. Everyone is amazing and so kind that you feel like family when you are there.Sherri J.Sherri J. ★★★★★ Dr chaffin and the gang always take great care of my fur babies Keep up the good workJeremy S.Jeremy S. ★★★★★ Excellent vet's ,techs also.Larry P.Larry P. ★★★★★ Due to a family emergency, I needed my dog boarded overnight. I came in without calling ahead (although I probably should have) and they were able and willing to accommodate me. I was a week or two overdue for a few things like flea treatment and parasite test and they made it work by having my dog spend the first night in "isolation" until flea preventative was applied and parasite results came back negative. I'm incredibly appreciative of their help and care for me and my pup.Eric W.Eric W. ★★★★★ Great serviceKimberly “Kim” B.Kimberly “Kim” B. ★★★★★ Friendly staff and they treat my dog like he is special. Dr. Chaffin is our vet and he always shows empathy for our pets.Peter W.Peter W. ★★★★★ Always great carepatty D.patty D. ★★★★☆ Friendly staff and clean environmentDeborah A.Deborah A. ★★★★☆ Friendly vet techs and veterinarians. They always answer my questions and emails when I have concerns about my dog.Madison B.Madison B.js_loader
