The problem is the fact that they are still using Covid as an excuse to not let you into the clinic with your pet. I'm mean come on Dr. Katie needs to get over it. People want to go back to the exam rooms with their pets. My honest recommendation is don't start your pet care here until she changes her ways. Although if you enjoy jumping through hoops of calling to give them your parking space number and wait in your car while your pet goes in by themselves maybe this place is for you. Also no weekend hours. There's no reason to carry on with the Covid excuses.

I called around to a few places and no one could get her in on short notice or as an emergency, we called riverside and from the moment Shay picked up the phone the riverside staff were the best people in the world to us. We brought our dog down and they did a quick exam affirming that we already knew it was her time. They gave us plenty of time and space to say goodbye to our best friend and were so unbelievably compassionate. At such a hard moment it was so nice to be surrounded by people who not only obviously cared about our dog but also cared about us and how we were feeling and doing. They made sure we understood all the steps and answered all the questions we had. We truly cannot thank Riverside staff enough for the love and support that was in the exam room that day. We will definitely bring our pets here from now on. Thank you all for the wonderful work you do.

In short, the receptionist was rude to my mom, I called and she was also rude to me, was irritated with my questions, she yelled at me, therefore antagonizing me, and when I called her out on her behavior and asked to speak to a supervisor, she hung up on me. I drove to complain in person, the manager had no way to verify what happened and it was clear to me they lack employee oversight. She apologized for "how I feel" instead of the girl's behavior while mostly correcting me for losing my temper when I was antagonized. Now, I am reading SEVERAL similar reviews about their front desk. It is a shame because I believe their vets are good ones. This place has no clue the effect mean-spirited employees have on their clients. I was calling about a puppy - we are happy customers with no reason to be upset. This should have been an easy one for them. Honestly, if I am going to be stressed out, my dog will be too. PASS!

I wanted to share a recent experience my family had at Columbia River Veterinary Specialists. I'm…read moreposting this to inform others in the community, especially pet owners, about what we experienced during an incredibly difficult time. This is not meant to discredit the clinic as a whole, but to be transparent about an interaction that had a significant emotional impact on us and may be important for others to be aware of. Our family recently brought our cat to Columbia River Veterinary Specialists during one of the most painful moments a pet owner can experience--having to say goodbye. I want to be very clear that the majority of the staff we interacted with were kind, patient, and compassionate. The woman at the front desk treated us with warmth and respect, the staff member we spoke with on the phone beforehand was helpful and understanding, and the veterinarian who ultimately assisted with end-of-life care was gentle, loving, and respectful. He took the time to explain everything clearly and treated both our pet and our family with dignity. Those are exactly the kinds of people you want working in a field that involves end-of-life care and emotional vulnerability. Unfortunately, our initial interaction with one staff member significantly overshadowed the experience. When our family first arrived, the individual who took our cat back (not the person who checked us in) made comments that strongly implied judgment about why our pet had not been brought in sooner. These remarks were delivered in a way that felt accusatory and lacked empathy, especially given that our pet was actively dying and we were already emotionally overwhelmed. Financial limitations are a reality for many families. Being made to feel guilt or shame for not having immediate access to thousands of dollars--at the exact moment we were facing the loss of a beloved pet--was deeply inappropriate and unprofessional. Veterinary professionals are entrusted with not only animal care, but human compassion. This was not the time for assumptions, judgment, or commentary--it was a moment that required empathy, discretion, and support. I'm sharing this because no family should be made to feel judged or shamed while saying goodbye to a pet. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously and addressed internally, because the rest of the staff we encountered demonstrated the level of care and compassion that should be standard in situations like this. Our pet deserved peace and dignity in their final moments--and so did our family.

She is very knowledgable & a reliable breeder. I currently live in Las Vegas so I took an affordable & quick flight to bring Mitzi home in person. I was able to take her in the cabin & have her by me in her comfy carrier the whole time. The pink feather toy Lina gave me (amongst a few other things to get me started & ensure Mitzi was cozy her first days home) is Mitzi's favorite, we play together with it every day. I have had her for almost 1 month now & she is just the sweetest kitty baby (4 months on Feb 2nd). The veterinarian was impressed with how happy of a kitten she was, how much she purred, & how delightfully cute she is. Her health check came back all good. When meeting Lina you sign a contract & she gives you some good advice on care, kitty maintenance, diet, etc. I felt this was important & appreciated that the breeder takes the time to provide such information to her new cat owners. It really showed me she was invested in were & what type of home her kittens would go to. Overall, Lina is a responsible breeder in my book. I feel like it was a blessing to have adopted a cat from her when there are so many fake sites out there. I found her cattery through the TICA website. Lastly, one word of advice. For new munchkin cat owners, keep in mind they have shorty legs especially when kittens. I bought her a litter box that was low enough for her to hop in & out of.
