What recent reviews say

Most visits are smooth and warm, with staff earning consistent praise for kindness and low-stress appointments. But the experience isn't guaranteed: some reviewers hit staff attitude problems or felt let down during end-of-life care, where one account describes disputed phone booking, a dirty room, and pain management failures. Weekend walk-in vaccine clinics work well for busy owners.

  • easy appointment booking
  • fair pricing
  • clean facility
Watch-outs
  • inconsistent staff attitude

True Companions Veterinary Clinic

4.2(1045)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Many clients experience compassionate, skilled care at True Companions, especially from Dr. O'Brien, and praise the clinic's affordable pricing. However, serious gaps between clinical and front-office service leave some customers frustrated by repeated prescription mix-ups, contradictory phone advice, and inconsistent handling of anxious animals. The clinic lists spay/neuter and vaccinations as core services, with pricing that matches their low-cost positioning (exams $50, dog neuter $196–$258, cat spay $166). Recent reviews suggest management changes have improved some interactions, though certain staff members continue to be impatient with nervous or reactive pets.

The shelter and clinic attracts strong loyalty from many adopters and has earned recognition for its low-cost spay/neuter services and commitment to special-needs animals. However, recent veterinary staff changes have prompted serious complaints about diagnostic errors, dismissive bedside manner, and failures to catch critical health issues. Some reviews raise concerns about the shelter's adoption vetting process and record management, suggesting potential gaps between the nonprofit's mission and day-to-day operations.
