Amazing, compassionate and prompt experience! We recently had an urgent situation in which our dog had seriously injured himself. We rushed to compassion vet urgent care and they saw us almost immediately. Dr. Jillian Beattie (Relief DVM) Was absolutely amazing. Her kind, empathic and calm demeanor helped us feel at ease immediately. They were able to perform surgery on our dog and we picked him up that same night. After the procedure, she thoroughly explained what they did and the aftercare protocol. From the moment we walked in, from reception to surgery, the staff was incredible and our dog has been recovering very well!! We can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend them. They are also our routine vet and we are so grateful to have them in our neighborhood.

I had to take my frail, senior cat here today on an emergency, urgent care basis because she has chronic digestive issues and was having an extremely bad flare in her symptoms. They handled her very carefully (she’s extremely skittish and terrified of humans), gave her some meds, and also had all the meds and food she’d need for home available there so I didn’t have to go to a pharmacy. The price was a bit high, but in line with the cost of vet care in the area, especially since it was an emergency appointment. No price gouging or any unexpected fees, no $200 emergency fee that other local places have - plus, being able to leave with the meds and food was worth the extra $. I highly recommend this vet in an emergency, it’s only been an hour but my cat is already doing better, and no pooping! Immediate improvement and well worth the $.

End of life for a loved pet is a difficult position to be a part of. Our dog was in a lot of pain and found peace quicker thanks to you this veterinary care team. My wife and I appreciated the considerations/expertise throughout the difficult experience. We also appreciated the homelike feel of the room they provided; it felt peaceful--and our dog deserved that. We'd like to thank everyone at this office publicly.

I can't speak highly enough about the incredible care my Great Dane received at this veterinary clinic. We had an emergency and were fortunate enough to get in right away. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt reassured by the professionalism and compassion of the entire team. They acted quickly, taking my dog straight into surgery without hesitation, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident not only during the surgery but in the follow-up care as well. I truly felt like my dog was in the best hands possible. Their dedication to both the medical and emotional aspects of care stands out, and I’m so grateful for the stellar service. Highly recommend! Dr. Krause and Dr. Fougere are absolutely phenomenal!
