Outstanding Professional Help We found Companion Animal Care about five years ago when my wife and I moved to Huntsville and needed various services for our senior King Charles Cavalier, Rex. Through a number of medical issues that Rex had over the years, Dr. David Alford and his caring staff were always attentive to Rex's (and our) needs and provided expert and empathetic care and advice that helped keep him safe and healthy. Then on April 3, 2024 Rex was severely mauled by a Doberman and his life hung in the balance. Dr. Rhonda Buxton, who was a recent addition to the Companion staff, immediately took charge of the situation. As Rex battled for his life, Dr. Buxton and the staff repeatedly worked on keeping him alive, comfortable, and stable in his recovery. When he took a turn for the worse and we made the difficult decision that it was time to lovingly say goodbye, Dr. Buxton helped ease him out of his pain. With my wife Nancy and I in attendance, we said our goodbyes to the little guy. Throughout the whole experience, the staff at Companion Animal Clinic was exceptionally empathetic and professional, making that period more bearable for Nancy and me. We can't recommend Companion Animal Care highly enough. Lee Hefner Nancy Wasson read more

If you care about your baby don't take them here! I saw Dr. Woods for a mass that had come up on my boys rear leg along with scabs that flare up all over his stomach. He examined him without running any tests on him at all, and told me the mass was just a swollen lymph node on his back leg. He looked at the scabs on him and told me they were "ant bites" and that the "swollen lymph node" was probably due to the ant bites. He sent me home without having anything done to further examine the mass. I felt like something wasn't right after about a week when it had increased in size, so I went to get a second opinion at another vet. They immediately did an aspirate of the mass and told me that it was a mast cell tumor! It has since increased in size in such a short amount of time, and he is currently scheduled to have his leg amputated because of it! I have since switched his food to raw which has completely cleared up the skin issues he was having. This doctor does not care about your babies and only cares about trying to push Science Diet on you at every visit. I have heard from SEVERAL sources that he doesn't like to diagnose "pink elephants." read more

Due to an incident involving my dog on Friday, July 7, 2023, after over 2 years of bringing him to Companion, and loving the vets and staff there, I have decided that it is in my dog's best interest, to find a more competent clinic. My dog's declaw was pulled out during a routine nail trim, and no one could explain to me what happened. I was told that "it took 4 people to trim his nails", and I was also charged double. My dog is a rescue, and has PTSD and anxiety, and is on medication for both. I had given him his medication an hour prior to his visit. As a veterinarian assistant myself, I am well trained in the fact that; 1. A routine nail trim requires one person to hold the dog, while another person does the nails. 2. With a dog that has any kind of anxiety issues, especially a rescue, "less is more", you DO NOT create an environment that causes the dog MORE anxiety (so why 4 people were on my dog is beyond me). My dog is 4 years old, barely weighs 50 lbs., and is no taller than my knee. I still, as of today, Tuesday, July 11, 2023, have not received an explanation, or an apology, or even a reimbursement for the money I spent on the visit in which my dog was injured. Also, he was given nothing for pain, nor was I given anything to take home with him in case of pain, due to the negligence that took place. read more

I have a bearded dragon that has a yellow arm of which I believed was yellow fungus. When being seen by the exotic pet vet all he did was look at my baby and said YES it's yellow fungus and it can't really be treated and said that at most he would only live another month and offered euthanizing him. A friend of mine of which has alot of exotic pets including several bearded dragons couldn't believe what a horrific experience I had with this vet. She began to tell me WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE which is a biopsy of sorts in another words a skin test. She said that yellow fungus should not be diagnosed based on what is seen visually because their is other things that could have caused the yellow appearance. When I had called back and talked to the receptionist about doing a biopsy it seemed as if she was laughing at me while she told me that they do not do biopsies in house and took my information for the exotic vet to call me back of which he never did. ABSOLUTELY A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! read more

I really like Companion. The vet is so nice, polite, and of course has a great "bed side manner" with our dogs. Getting in and out is really easy too. If you call in the morning and want to bring your dogs in that day it isn't a problem. They will make room for you. Recently I had a 9am appt and I was back in my car with my happy pup by 9:12. That's not always the standard because it certainly depends on what you're bringing your dog in for, but there's no 30 minute wait in the waiting room then another 30 minute wait in the back for the vet. They really seem to care about getting your pets healthy and happy as fast as possible. The place isn't quite as clean as vet places I've seen in the past, but they do see a lot of animals in and out everyday so it really doesn't bother me that much. read more

We have been bringing our dogs to Companion Animal care for years. Had no problems until today. My daughter who has a chronic decease . She has two small children and lives over 20 miles a way was going to be late at the groomers . In the past we have rescheduled two times and also two times was a few minutes late dropping him off with all the other dogs at the same time . But, always tried to tip generously to the groomer even when we were unsatisfied a couple of times with his cut. A couple of times McCoy had a eye infection and another time a cut on his sanitary from being groomed and we had to have him put on antibiotics. We never complained about the groomer because we know accidents can happen. Today, my daughter heard the groomer talking about us because the person thought she had put my daughter on hold. It was so harsh and so offending to my daughter and really hurts us as a family that she would have the rudest and so hateful responses. She said she would no longer take McCoy. We didn't deserve this treatment. We have spent thousands at this office and have Never had conflict and the way the office and the groomer treated us is heartbreaking. One more thing.. dogs are to be dropped off between 7:30-8:00. She would've been there at 8:25. I recommend that you make sure where you take your dog is a place of understanding. We would've paid a late charge to the groomer or even if it had been said professionally by the office staff and groomer. We are crushed . Now we are trying to find a veterinarian. I was in the cancer center all day hearing my daughter cry over the phone . read more

I hate to leave such a bad review but I had a horrible experience here. The staff was very kind so this is nothing involving bad customer service. I have a very rare bird. I took him here for grooming ( beak, wing, and nail trim). I should have known by his screaming and crying something was horribly wrong. They clipped his wings so much that they were bleeding! It was horrific. They still have yet to grow back and that was 5 months ago. I think they permanently damaged his wings. I think that they are either incompetent or just don't care. The place smelled sooooooooo bad, like cat hair and urine. It was very unclean. Unfortunately, I could never recommend this Vet nor would I EVER come back here!!! I feel like reporting them! read more

Overall good. Workers are friendly and always helpful when I call. I went in today when they were posted as open bc my dog needed help and no one was there and had to go elsewhere and like the new place better. Older male vet I had to request to not have again, younger guy is much friendlier. read more

Highly recommend over any other vet in the area! When our puppy had a serious leg injury, they were compassionate and conscientious of our budget. But, at the same time, they were forthcoming about the severity of his injury and did a great job getting us into HSVE for his surgery later that day. We were obviously wary of the cost, so Dr. Wood did a great job explaining our options if we decided not to go with the surgery. We were very appreciative to have them walk us through this whole situation. read more

We love this veterinarian clinic and there top notch groomer Michelle. My malti poo visits weekly for her grooming appointment and is also seen by the vet for check ups. I would like to refer this business for all services. Thankful we found Michelle again and wouldn't think of ever using anyone else. The front desk is very courteous and full of wonderful customer service. read more
