Amazing Staff.....Outstanding facility 11/27/2013

I have taken my beloved Annabell to C.A.H. and have always been given the best care for my dog. I trust the folks at Companion and they have worked with me thru financial hardships so as to give my dog the care she needed. I am forever grateful and would recommend Companion to anyone wanting a clean, loving place to take their pets. We had to put our older dog Electra down and the staff treated us like family, and Electra was sent off with dignity, love and true compassion. THANKS so much to all of you at C.A.H. for caring the way you ALL do. more

We love this vet! 11/26/2013

When our family grew to include a 8 month puppy, we were lucky enough to have found Companion. Not only are they great with animals but truly gifted at quelling fears of new puppy parents. Over themonths of her crazy growing, they have advised us on food, training at home and in a class, and even how to best brush teeth! Now that our little girl is almost grown we can't imagine going anywhere else. more

Patient and caring staff. 11/22/2013

Companion Animal Hospital is really on top of it. In my experience with vets I have dealt with some ups and downs. In this past case my beloved dog ended up with an ailment that was excruciatingly costly at a time when my family had a harsh decision to make. The doctor we dealt with at the time didn't push us. He didn't do anything more than make sure that the family was taken care of first. He told us he was here if we needed him and if we were able go ahead with the treatment. He provided options and then sat back patiently. We were able to make it happen and save our dog's life. It wasn't a harsh push from the doctor, though. He was very casual in making sure we were aware of our situation. He allowed us to take the time we needed to come up with the funds to take care of our animal. The staff is incredibly friendly. They are really good at remembering pet's names and remembering the owners as well. I don't go in often now, just once every two months or so, but they still remember my dog and always ask about my dog. It's really an amazing group of people in that facility. more

Very nice and very helpful 7/23/2013

They gave excellent service. My dog had limpoma one of them ruptured. My dog recovered quickly and they did a very thorough job. She also got a dental cleaning. I was very pleased. Everyone is very nice and very helpful. I would recommend Companion Animal Hospital. more

Really there for their patients AND the owners!! 7/23/2013

I have recently had a couple of emergencies with my dog, and Companion Animal Hospital was there for both of us one hundred percent. First of all, they were very reassuring over the phone when I called in about the problem initially. We went in the next day because the situation wasn't life or death, and when we got there I saw that Dr. Horne and his amazing supporting staff are so caring with all of their patients, as well as the owners. They are really sensitive to owners if there's something horribly wrong. For my dog's more minor surgery, Dr. Horne still took his time showing me all of the x-rays and explaining absolutely everything. Everyone there is so accommodating, too! When I got stuck across town and had to pick up medication one time, the receptionist, Karen, sat there in the office and waited for me until I arrived. They're also open 7 days a week, which I appreciate so much. The big plus is the fact that my two dogs who hate going to vets walk right into the building here! They can sense that they're in good hands in the exam room, and don't struggle like they did at other vets. I've never seen them so calm during treatments. more

Very Helpful 1/18/2013

I've been going to Companion Animal Hospital for the past three months. I've been going a lot and the staff has been kind and helpful each time I've walked in there. I feel like they've been very thorough and they've provided a lot of great feedback. I had been going to other vets who were unable to help with my pet's allergy issues. I appreciate all that Companion Animal Hospital has done to help me. more

Overall, I think they are great. 1/3/2013

I brought two cats to Companion Animal Hospital. I had been with another vet for twenty years, but their prices kept increasing, and with less service. So I tried out Companion because they were open on Sunday. I later adopted a stray dog, and he had some viral infection. They did a good job treating that. I decided to have him neutered there later. They were good with the follow-up, and called to check on him, and gave me free advice over the phone. I've elected to have all my files sent to their office, and will be using them in the future. The only reason I didn't give them five stars, is because I felt surprised at the bill. They told me up front what the service would cost, and asked me if I wanted this or that, so when I said yes, the bill increased, but they never specifically mentioned the charge for each additional service. I think it's something that other customers should be aware of. Overall I think they are great. more

Excellent 1/2/2013

I would recommend them highly. Both vets there are excellent. The staff, which is the people who I speak to when I come in, leave, and call, are excellent. They are the most caring staff I've come across, and I've been to other places. I'm delighted with my good fortune. more

They're great. 9/12/2012

I'll tell you this, everyone who works there at Companion Animal Hospital, from the counter person who does invoices and answer phones, to the animal techs and those who take temperatures and help with surgeries, to the doctors, are awesome. They really are compassionate people. I have been a customer for over 20 years and have seen some changes in their company over the years. Certain techs and doctors leave and new ones come in, but they always have been good. I missed those that left but am pleased with the new ones that come. I have a good history of knowledge of them. Their doctors are good. They do good work. One thing that really bothers me, and this is not exclusive to them but to the entire veterinarian industry, is the cost. Sometimes the fees are very expensive. For some people, that prohibits them from doing certain things for their pets. Companion Animal Hospital, I have noticed, is willing to work with you if you explain your situation. They will help you do the best you can with the funds available, and I can't say that about everyone in the area. My cat is on antibiotics, my dog is on antibiotics, and my cat is getting a major oral cleaning very soon, and they're good. They do everything, so I am really pleased. They are compassionate, loving people with pets of their own. They're great. more

Helpful in diagnosing dog allergies 6/19/2012

Companion Animal Hospital has been very thorough with my Dog's allergy issues. We are going down the path of discovering what he is allergic to and trying to test every possibility and they are working hard for us. I have also gone to the hospital to put down a dog in the past, and in addition to being hard workers I discovered their staff is very helpful and kind. They are knowledgeable and close to my house, so when my dog has a severe allergy attack it is convenient. I like the people and the overall experience. more

Dr. Horne is a great vet, and I have recommended him to all my friends. 6/12/2012

Dr. Horne is a great veterinarian. He was great with my cat. Companion Animal Hospital is awesome. I took my car in when she hurt herself pretty bad and had to get a little cast. He helped me out and told me what to do when my cat misbehaves. It made us feel comfortable about taking care of the cat and letting her re-cooperate after the accident. Kristian Flores more

Relief finding a good vet. 6/8/2012

Companion Animal Hospital were very patient and understanding when it came to our financial issues in regards to taking care of our animal. When we were finally able to afford it, they scheduled our pet and got everything squared away. No sooner did we call than they made our appointment to take care of our dog. They're good, patient, on top of things, and thorough. more

Excellent service and very friendly personnel. 6/4/2012

Our dog got sick on a Sunday. Of course, it's always on a weekend. We had just moved into Santa Cruz and didn't have a veterinarian, so we were looking. They gave her a shot, and we were very pleased when she got better. RESPONSE FROM Companion Animal Hospital: Thank you for your testimonial, Elizabeth. We enjoyed meeting you and Lilly! Don't hesitate to come in and visit us again. more

Very good! Easy and simple with great results. 4/21/2012

Everyone was helpful and knowledgeable, and did the best that they could to help me and my pup. They made the process simple and gave me the best deal possible and now my dog is happy and healthy. RESPONSE FROM Companion Animal Hospital: Thank you for your testimonial, Miranda. We enjoy working with you to provide excellent veterinary health care for your dog. more

Very Good 4/18/2012

They really knew how to handle our old cat and he remained calm through the whole exam. His condition was explained quite clearly and how to treat it, also. RESPONSE FROM Companion Animal Hospital: Thank you for your review, Earl. We appreciate the time you took to give us a good testimonial. more

Wonderful people, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I have great trust and faith in CAH, Dr. Horne and his staff. 4/12/2012

We first brought our rescue puppy to CAH when he was about 7 weeks old, and throughout our time with CAH, I have been comforted knowing that we have such a great and caring resource for our little guy. CAH is terrific in their care, follow up, and proactive measures so that I am confident that our dog is getting the best care out there. Thanks CAH! RESPONSE FROM Companion Animal Hospital: Lisa - thank you for the kind review you published for us on Customer Lobby. You are an excellent pet Mom and we appreciate the trust you place in us to help you take such good care of your dog. more

Top-notch. 2/8/2012

We have been regular clients of the Companion Animal Hospital for over 4 years. During that time, Moxie has received her immunizations and wellness check-ups, as well as major surgery. The doctor and staff have been consistently friendly, extremely helpful and totally competent. The best complement comes from Moxie herself, who regularly leads us to the office on our daily walks to the delight of the office staff who greet her with affection and treats. RESPONSE FROM Companion Animal Hospital: Thank you, Neal, for your review. Your comments help others find a trusted veterinary care provider. It is always a pleasure seeing you and Moxie at our office! more

Open 7 days a week, and always a qualified vet on duty! 2/7/2012

We've been customers of Companion Animal Hospital ever since we moved to town in '76. Of course we shopped around a bit, but we have continued to go back to them. They are convenient, very friendly and take pet insurance which is really nice. Also, they are open 7 days a week, which is really unusual for an animal hospital. And I really like that there is always a qualified vet on duty. RESPONSE FROM Companion Animal Hospital: Thank you for your review, Lynn. We truly appreciate your loyalty over the years and always enjoy helping you. more

Companion Animal Hospital is by far the best vet in town. 2/6/2012

Ever since we got our dog we have been taking her to Companion Hospital. She loves going by to see everone that works there. They treat her with so much love and care. Even when she doesn't have an appointment she takes me there. There were two incidents in the past couple of years where we almost lost her due to poisoning and another health issue. I can always count on them to give 100 per cent. RESPONSE FROM Companion Animal Hospital: Thank you for your words of praise, Robin. It is always a great pleasure working with loving pet owners such as yourself. more
