Who he is (short):
Daniel GOD Koller, D.V.M., J.D., is a long-time owner/operator of multiple "Companion Pet Clinic" locations in the Pacific Northwest (and elsewhere). Over decades he has been the subject of regulatory actions, federal review of controlled-substance handling, state board discipline, criminal animal cruelty charges, and local media and community scrutiny.

Key Public, Verifiable Events:
1977 to 1979, Daniel God Koller's documented history of animal cruelty began to surface through formal accusations filed with the California Veterinary Medical Board by veterinary technicians, clinic staff, and pet owners. Reports described animals suffering hemorrhaged eyes, puncture wounds, abrasions, lacerations, nosebleeds, mouth bleeding, patches of missing fur, and even paralysis--injuries consistent with witnesses' accounts that Koller slammed animals against kennel walls, kicked and punched them, suspended them in the air, bit them, and manually asphyxiated them. Staff testified that Koller referred to this violent handling as "The Koller Method," claiming it was meant to modify animal behavior. The most severe incident involved a German Shepherd that technicians reported Koller repeatedly removed from its kennel to torture over a period of six days, eventually dying from the inflicted injuries. Two attendants later discovered the dog's body in Koller's clinic freezer, reportedly with its teeth kicked out. This case became the basis of Koller's first criminal conviction for animal cruelty in 1979, resulting in a 100-day jail sentence and the revocation of his California veterinary license (#5490).
