Best veterinarian in Salem, Oregon (OR) 2024

We have been going to Companion for years and every single time have experienced fantastic care. Finding an exotic animal vet, especially one who can treat birds, is difficult, but Dr. Mills is wonderful. Not only is he kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, but he goes above and beyond. My daughter had a pet quail who needed surgery a few years ago and she was very worried. Dr. Mills called the evening before the surgery to answer any questions she had and to put her mind at ease. We have seen multiple other vets as well and they were all professional and compassionate. I have also appreciated the office staff who I know has to deal with customers who are stressed and emotional and sometimes frustrated because it can be difficult to get in for an appointment. In spite of that they are friendly and empathetic. Having taken dogs, cats, birds, a bearded dragon, and a ball python in to this clinic over the years, we have always been satisfied. I cannot recommend them enough. ~Erin

We have been bringing our furry family members here for more than 6 years and we are so glad we found them! Wonderful and caring service. The vet is very generous with her time, giving us lots of detail about our pets' needs and calling to check in when special circumstances arise. The technician and support staff always greet our pets with affection, making vet appointments as calm and low key as they can be. ~Lisa

My partner and I brought our 11 week old puppy into the clinic with signs of kennel cough. The staff took amazing care of our dog and answered all of our questions thoroughly. They approached every new case with confidence and diligence. We arrived knowing that this clinic was not first come first serve, but based on the seriousness and condition of each pet. We came prepared to wait! Highly recommend bringing a phone charger and games. There were lots of food options nearby to enjoy while we waited. The staff did a wonderful job of keeping us updated with wait times as well :) ~Elizabeth

Made my kitties all better. ~Marilen
