My dog is a “problem child”. Everyone at Companion is so wonderful with her.

We reached out to a few vets before we got our puppy. Companion was the only one that personalized their response for our puppy. That plus their yearly flat fee for all wellness visits (less than $600 for all shots, 2 fecal tests, and all office visits) made it a no-brainer for us. The unlimited office visits have allowed us to really do what’s best for our puppy and space her shots out more.
