It's hard to write a one-star review for this clinic, because the vets are terrific. It's getting to see them that's hard, if not impossible, and believe me, this is not a one-time problem. You probably work a 9-5 job, or something close to it. If so, you're going to have a tough time getting to the clinic after work, because it closes at 6. I got there once at 5:45-5:50 and, despite several calls making sure they'd see our yellow lab, they turned me away when I got there. That is not great, but understandable. Today, th... read more

Companion pet clinic is what I call "upsellers". Think Jiffy Lube (which is exactly what I told the vet, BTW). We took our cat in to be spayed, and our dog in to have his dermatitis looked at. The vet came in with a clipboard, went down the list of everything he thought my cat and dog should be treated for (not actual conditions, mind you...just "preventative"), I told him no thank you, we treat for fleas and will treat anything else AS IT ARISES. He kept on though, and finally I said "I feel like I am at Jiffy Lube right ... read more

Two hours in a dirty vets office to get a discounted puppy shot? No thank you.... Not the way I'm going to start my new relationship with my pooch...

The money you save--which is maybe 10 or 15% compared to other vets--is not worth the incompetence and rudeness. I'd previously made peace with the sub par service at CPC, but like so many of those before and after me, I've had my fill. It started about two months ago when I called to order a 3 month supply of meds for my dog who suffers from hip dysplasia, as well as some dasuquin medicated treats for the same malady. They require 24 hours notice, I gave them 72. I call ahead to make sure I can pick it up. I arrive to an e... read more

Do not be fooled that they charge less than other vets. They will talk you into extra tests. I recently took my kitty there because she developed a growth and was dropping weight. They told me she likely has cancer and then ran tests to supposedly find out. They X-rayed her, they biopsied, they did blood work. My bill was over $600. They were to call me with results~almost 2 weeks went by and I called them for the results. They had nothing, no results "they had not come in yet". I will never go there again for anything. They... read more

I have taken my cat here several times for the cheap vaccination days, which they always do fine with so its getting 2 stars instead of one. Nevertheless, I'm never going back after this last time. I took my young, healthy nearly 3 year old cat in for a routine FELV booster shot which they're supposed to get once a year. They told me he needed an exam since its been a year so I agreed to have them do that. The vet strongly encouraged I put this stuff on him called Profedra. Profedra is a deworming topical gel you put on the ... read more

Comments : These people misdiagnosed my beloved junior with a herniated disk. I took him in four times. I saw three different vets.The last guy said the breathing problem was caused the medication. I was unsure if he had even looked at the file. My dog just got worse.The last time I took him my dog died in the parkinglot. I don't even know why. I went a few days later to talk to the vets about what happened. They wouldn't see me without charging me the office fee. Junior was my companion of nine years. A lab mix I expected ... read more

I started at Companion in another city. I had a good experience and moved my animals to this clinic when moving to P-Town. After many good experiences I found out about all the "bad stuff" but MY experience had been good so I continued to go there. That stops today. Companions prices have continually gone up over the years and their quality of service has gone down. I appreciate the walk-in appts but I do not appreciate being there for over an hour before being seen by a vet. I do not appreciate that they continually try an... read more

DO NOT RISK TAKING YOUR PRECIOUS ANIMALS HERE! It is just not worth it. This is the WORST CPC I have ever been too. I cannot speak for all CPC's, I can only share my traumatic experience with this clinic and with Dr. Peetz. Please do not learn the hard way like I had to. I found too many uninformed staff, receptionists who were rude and/or would ignore you, seemingly uneducated vet techs AND vets who cannot answer questions or convey important information. And the head hancho running the clinic, Dr. Larry Peetz, was incred... read more
