Compassionate Care - in home dog euthanasia

Compassionate Care

This was a very hard day, our beloved Sophie had lived for 14 and 1/2 years and she was holding on…read morefor us and we had to set her free. Compassionate Care came right on time and was so kind and caring. We had time to say our goodbyes, we loved her so much and she was a really High anxiety dog, going for rides triggered her, so having someone come here was perfect. I highly recommend this establishment. Thank you.

In a perfect world, I would hope that no one would need to avail themselves of their service and…read moreour beloved animals would live with us forever. When that is no longer the case and tough decisions need to be made, we had an excellent experience with Compassionate Care to say goodbye to our pup. Let me start by saying that every administrative and customer service interaction was timely, clear, and concise. The last thing you want in this situation are delays and confusion. Once I reached out through the contact link on their website, the email response with details about their different services happened within 10 minutes. An intake call to make arrangements for a euthanasia visit at our home was answered by a human and only took a few minutes. They recommend making a reservation 48-hours in advance, but we were put on a wait-list and we moved up our reservation when things opened up. I appreciate that you can reschedule (with four hours advance notice) as well. They have a variety of services, Eco-friendly cremation, and memorial pieces. Everything was arranged in advance, including payment through their web portal, so when the vet arrived for the appointment it was all about our boy and his (and our) comfort. Dr. Wilson clearly walked us through the process, gave us time to say goodbye, provided options, and was a wonderful partner in the process. Cremation is done at a facility in N. Portland, but they have the option of picking up the cremains in Oregon City which was more convenient for us. Having gone through this experience with another pet where we took them to the vet's office, I would highly recommend this option for the pet's comfort. It just felt better saying goodbye in a familiar space surrounded by love.

My pet had chronic illness and this group was so helpful for me keeping costs down. Ultimately my girl needed end of life services and i couldnt have asked for a better experience. I have never had to call more than twice in a morning to get in the que , anything else is an exageration. Call when they open and dont wait for noon. They do prioritize the scheduling same as ER vet. Have to decide for yourself.

The vet I went to was extremely callous when my poor baby had to be put down. When I said I was…read moreworried about how he felt, the vet said in a tossed out manner, "Well THAT'S not going to matter, not where HE'S going." Complete uncalled for, I did NOT appreciate that at ALL. That's when it hit me hard: I was all my poor baby had ever had in this whole world. It never mattered how wonderful he had always been; nobody cared what happened to him except me. The young lady assistant was no better. She made it clear to me that they had to "just get it over with". Just before he died, he had anxious reached out to me pleading for me to stop them from killing him before he went limp in my lap with his head in my hands. The vet just calmly said, "He's gone." Not an ounce of compassion. Fortunately I was at least able to retrieve his body and had him buried in a pet cemetery. He had been wonderful his entire life and nobody in that place cared about him in the least. He was just another dog to do away with to them.

Everyone at the from desk is very friendly and extremely accommodating to our needs. One of the amazing front desk people is Jami. She is always wonderful to work with. She is friendly and continually willing to help! All the veterinarians are amazing to work with. We have worked many times with Dr. Nicole Slater. She is so knowledgeable and thoroughly understand our dogs and their needs. She is is able to explain terms so we can understand the situation. She is extremely compassionate especially with Molly, our 13+ yr old Golden Retriever. Abby, our three yr old Labrador Retriever actually enjoys coming in. I also commend them for their large contribution to the Keizer Rapids doggie park! This park is wonderful! We have been able socialize with friends as our dogs run free in the dog park. We have meet some great people and some breed of dogs we had never seen. We both two of the "Paw Print Pavers" as I way to show support. I love taking our doggies there and showing off their pavers! The success of the park is based on community efforts from businesses and volunteers. I applaud these efforts! I would DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone looking for a great Vets and helpful staff!

Dr. Burright gave us a clear treatment plan along with some tips about what to feed and not to feed him for his diet. She was incredibly accommodating, thorough, and willing to answer my many questions. She and her staff followed up with me every day to check up on Cooper's progress. Unfortunately, our little guinea didn't make it, but we knew we could count on Oak Hills to let him rest in guinea heaven. In our first visit, Dr. Burright assured us that if the time did come, that she would personally supervise Cooper was asleep before he was put down and that he would have company all along. She was very compassionate, as was the rest of her staff. BUT THIS IS WHAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME... After Cooper was taken into the euthanasia room, Dr. Burright returned to tell us that it was indeed the right and humane decision to let him rest for good. She confirmed all of my suspicions about his progress not being enough to kick his illness and ensured I felt good about what was undoubtedly a very tough decision. Words can't explain just how much that means to hear from a professional, especially at a time of such heartache. Letting your pet go is never easy, but I felt at total peace knowing Dr. Burright and her staff were looking after Cooper until his last seconds. If they hadn't already done the world for him, they also sent us a flower arrangement the next day to express their condolences. We were touched. I can't recommend a veterinary clinic any more than I do Oak Hills, they are First Class.

I purchased a healthcare plan for both of my little dogs for a year. The puppy was spayed, and the…read moreother, which was 4 years old, was for teeth cleaning. After the teeth cleaning, they came back and said that our Porkie (Pomeranian/Yorkie) needs all her teeth extracted and that it would cost over $7,000. This is on top of the monthly payments, medications, and specialty food I purchased for her for weight control. I decided to get a second opinion because we definitely could NOT afford that price as senior citizens in their mid 70's. The new Clinic only removed a couple of teeth from her and charged me under $500. I called to cancel in November. The puppy was paid up on the charges, but I owed one more month, December, for the other one. I paid for the required December coverage, but it was then closed, and I had a new vet to take care of these little precious dogs. In January, I received a NEW BILL! The price was for $279.40, I still owed, they said. What? I paid for everything owed, including the price of the "Optium Wellness Plan," at the time of service. I did not have them bill me. They had me pay while I was in the clinic. I blame this company on its corporate business plan of ripping off the public, not on those who follow orders and do not use their intelligence to figure out the mistakes. VCA Pet Hospital on Commercial is far better than this hospital. The clinic I have moved to is Hoffmans on Lancaster, and they are fantastic, reasonable, and everyone is considerate and sharp in being able to help you and your pets receive excellent care. I never complain, but over the years it seems so many companies are ripping off the public, and it is time we say ..." NO MORE!"

First off, My family has been using ACC WIlsonville for close to ten years. Its been so long I…read moredon't remember. We live in S.E. Portland and have no problem making the 50 mile round trip drive to take our pets here! This is one of the many reasons why: On 12/20 (Friday) Charlie, Our 1.5 year old pug/wheaten mix started vomiting uncontrollably at 2 am. We took them to their preferred emergency vet, and he ended up having an intestinal blockage in the form of a squeaker from a stuffed toy. We picked him up at 8 am, took him to ACC, and dropped him off for fluids, meds, and observation, All was well until he got into the garbage at home on 12/22 (Sunday). Charlie vomited up what he ate, and was acting somewhat normal. On 12/23 (Monday) he was acting strange. Pacing, not wanting to eat, staring at me as if something was wrong... Because of the recent events that had taken place, I immediately called ACC. Being a nervous wreck, I answered their questions as well as I could. The receptionist told me that they had a completely full schedule being the day before Christmas Eve, but she would talk to the on duty doctor (Dr. Debbie) and see what she wanted to do. Even though they had a COMPLETELY full schedule (I was there for about 10 minutes waiting to drop Charlie off, and saw 4+ pets come and go) she told me to bring him down and they would look at him between appointments. Who else would do that!? In the end, it was just an upset tummy and a nervous owner. Charlie is back to his normal, rambunctious self. They were (and always are) kind, respectful and understanding. Everyone loves Charlie and his brother Edd, a 10 month old Black and fawn Pug. They really DO CARE about you and your pets. The doctors, vet techs, and receptionists are very kind, caring people. I will continue to go there and refer people to their services!
