I happened upon these reviews in an attempt to google Companion's phone number. Dr. Bower and his associates took care of our very sick dog for almost three years- until she died several years ago. Dr. Bower is our hero. What was supposed to be six weeks became 3 years due to his extraordinary skills. Our dog's dire health made us search out a scientist vs a warm and fuzzy. This guy is an extraordinary clinician. Simultaneously I was personally undergoing treatment at UCSF and Stanford hospitals. I often said that I wished m... read more

Highly recommend – Dr. Bower has cared for both my dog and my cat for the past 15 years. A few years ago I took my cat in to have her teeth cleaned which required anesthesia. While preparing my cat to go under anesthesia, Dr. Bower discovered an irregular hearbeat and recommended we do an x-ray which I agreed to. He discovered my cat had what turned out to be a benign tumor on her heart. If left unchecked she would have died shortly thereafter. Long story short: Dr Bower is a skillful and very knowledgeable vet. I've also fo... read more

Excellent job – After struggling for a few years in San Francisco trying to find a good vet, I was referred to Dr Bower. That was nearly 20 years ago...so what does that tell you. My cats are like my kids and I wouldn't consider taking them to anyone else. Dr Bower does an excellent job of keeping up with the latest research. He covers all sides of an issue before expressing his own opinion... and then encourages you to form your own decision without pressure. Appointments are not booked too close together...he answers all q... read more

This is the best animal hospital we have ever been to and we come here from San Francisco. Staff is wonderful. Dr. Bower diagnosed one of my dogs so quickly, most people had to wait for months for their vets to send them to UC Davis to get finally diagnosed. The care our dogs received there has been consistently excellent for the past two years.

Wonderful! – This hospital just re-opened with all new doctors and staff, i brought my pet there to try them out and they were wonderful. Treated my dog very special and had great service all around. Had very resonable prices compared to other vets in this area.

My dog is 11 years old and has suffered with chronic pain for years. I took him into Companion Animal Hospital because he was having a bad episode - barely able to walk and cowering in a corner with pain. I went in with the intention of doing the usual - getting some steroids to get him over the hump and get out. However, Dr. Salwan had a different idea. He highly recommended an x-ray so we could see any disc issues, but he also gave a better reason that no other vet had ever mentioned. My dog was not neutered, and Dr. Salwa... read more

They were genuinely concerned about my pet – The vets and staff are genuinely concerned about my pet, knowledgeable and offer effective treatment at convenient hours for a reasonable price. They even offered a free first exam to get to know me and my pet without trying to sell me anything. My dog growls at Veterinarians and their staff and I need to muzzle him to make sure he does not make good on his threats. The Vet and the staff did not let that influence their kindness and genuine concern for his welfare. I took my dog, ... read more

Nothing but good things to say – I've been a client of Companion Animal Hospital for a little more than a year now, and when I saw all these negative reviews I just had to sign up and post mine. I really have to disagree with all the 1 star reviews. Maybe they've been unlucky, but I have nothing but good things to say about this hospital. I've taken my two dogs here for all their shots, one spay, and one dental. They've done a fantastic job all around. The receptionists and technicians are all really friendly and seem like t... read more

Very caring and helpful – Our cat, Spud, was bitten by another animal (probably a cat) and the bite became infected. We brought her to this hospital altho' it has changed hands since we had been there before. One review here made us hesitant but we decided to try it but to be careful and clear regarding any charges. Spud needed surgery to clean out the wound. Everything was explained clearly and we were able to OK each procedure and its charge. We declined an x-ray as it did not seem necessary to us. Spud stayed overnight. W... read more
