Pros
- Over 65 years in business
- Offers house calls on major services
- Responsive with great availability
- Wide range of veterinary services
- Competitive rates
- Easy appointment setting
Cons
- Limited house call services
- Minor issues on customer service
Portland Animal Clinic provides a wide range of veterinary services to cats and dogs. They’ve been in the business for over 65 years, which already says a lot about the experience and expertise they have.
Although other clinics also offer this, you may find their house call services a convenient option. This is because they can do this for almost every veterinary service (except for more complex treatments requiring surgery).
However, this option is only available on a limited basis, so you can’t always be accommodated. Fortunately, their clinic offers enough flexibility in terms of availability and the place usually isn’t crowded even during busy hours.
On top of that, the clinic is also pretty responsive, especially when setting appointments or responding to queries. This makes them a good choice for emergencies, although they’re not available 24/7 for this.
The consultation process is also pretty seamless as we’ve observed that pets are generally at ease when handled. Plus, we find their staff friendly and easy to talk to, giving us peace of mind in terms of pet care.
By the way, the clinic also offers grooming services which you may want to consider in the future. This makes it easy for you as the owner, to only bring your pet into one location for health and grooming needs.

Pros
- Provides a wide range of general veterinary care in Portland
- Performs laser surgery (Co2 laser) for your pet
- Smooth system for scheduling appointments
- Offers same-day appointments during office hours
- Professional and experienced staff members
Cons
- Lengthy waitlist for sick pets, as of this writing
- Doesn’t cater to emergency services
Even though Alberta Veterinary Care is a small animal veterinary facility in Portland, we included them on this list due to their wide range of services. Plus, they have the right technology to cater to pets’ medical needs.
Talking about their comprehensive services, fur parents can count on them regarding puppy and kitten general health checks & surgery, dentistry, management of skin conditions, etc. Actually, they don’t just offer sound advice, but optimal veterinary care, which we truly appreciate.
Now, what we like most about them is the fact that they provide laser surgery (Co2 laser) whenever possible. This, for us, is an upgrade from traditional surgery and is less painful and much safer for your pet (another plus point in our book).
For accommodations, we found out that they have a smooth system for scheduling appointments (cancellations are acceptable but must be noted prior). The only downside we see is their lengthy waitlist for sick patient visits, as of present.
On the bright side, the clinic offers same-day appointments for sick pets that need urgent care. However, they can only cater to this during their office hours, which gives us the impression that they are unlikely to accommodate emergency services.
But, we are pleased to know that their triage-trained staff can assess (via call) the best plan of action to determine whether they, as a general practice, can treat your pet. It’s also nice to know that they are willing to give you lists of emergency veterinary clinics within the area.

Pros
- Decades of experience in the field
- Offers a comprehensive range of veterinary care services
- Uses a cutting-edge veterinary technology
- Focuses on preventive care
- Accredited by American Animal Hospital Association
- Thorough annual veterinary exams
Cons
- Minor issues with their technology system
- Does not offer payment plans
Whether it’s routine vaccinations or a complex medical problem, Roseway Veterinary Hospital is a good option. Truthfully, we are fascinated with their top-class facility as it is equipped to handle every aspect of veterinary care for pets.
First things first, they’re recognized and accredited through the American Animal Hospital Association. This, without a doubt, speaks to the high quality of patient care they deliver (after all, they have been evaluated on 900+ veterinary standards).
As much as they excel in providing medical care to your canine and feline companion, we like the fact that they focus on preventive care. Here comes their most favored service which is the Annual Veterinary Exams, which thoroughly evaluate your pet’s general body system.
Their skilled and caring medical team can cater to your puppies and kitties’ surgical services, dentistry, behavior consultations, and more. All thanks to their innovative surgical techniques and equipment, and of course, competent veterinarians.
However, few of their clients expressed their experience with the hospital’s poor technology system. For instance, there were some errors particularly in emailing appointments and reminders, as well as minor issues with their online resources – quite a turn-off.
Nevertheless, seeing that they still managed to gain positive feedback on some of the reliable review sites, most specifically on their customer care service, you may want to consider them. It’s all up to you definitely, but if you ask us, it’s surely worth your while.
4. Buckman Veterinary Clinic
Services: Wellness care, dental, medical, surgical services

Pros
- Specializes in individualized pet medical care
- Well-organized veterinary clinic
- Separate dog & cat waiting areas and hospital ward
- Complete rooms for every accommodation
- In-house rapid test equipment
- Online pharmacy and food ordering (24/7, free shipping)
Cons
- Expensive pricing system
- Minor inconsistencies with quotation
- Typically 1 to 3 month waiting list/patient list
What we like about Buckman Veterinary Clinic is the well-organized facility they have, designed with your pet’s comfort in mind. From reception to every room, your dogs and cats would definitely feel as if they’re home, and we are here to support that idea.
For your own relief, and to us as well, we would like to inform you that they separate the hospital ward and waiting areas for cats and dogs. What’s more exciting is that there are treats and snacks waiting for your pets to dig in.
Besides the usual rooms available at a veterinary clinic (exams & appointments room, and hospitalization wards) they also have surgery & diagnostic stations. Additionally, we find their in-house rapid test equipment very convenient to diagnose your pet’s sickness instantly.
Unfortunately, there’s a downside with the technology they use and we bet you know what we are talking about – the expenses. It’s true that this kind of service is quite costly, and we’ve heard of minor inconsistencies with their quotations, hence the extra charges.
Moving forward, we find the clinic a convenient one when it comes to the accessibility of the pet meds they offer. Those products are within your reach through their online pharmacy and food ordering system available on their website.
With that, fur parents can enjoy 24/7 shopping that comes with automatic refill reminders and prescription expiration notifications, and our favorite part, easy auto-shipments for free. Very deserving of having the 5-star rate review on Yelp, actually.

Pros
- Almost a decade of providing full-service veterinary medical care
- Offers long-term ‘Heartfelt Petcare Plans’
- Handled over 9,000 medical care situation
- Experienced veterinarians, in-house advanced equipment
- Financing options available
Cons
- $55 deposit to schedule an appointment for new clients
Other than the usual things a veterinary clinic provides, what sets Heartfelt Veterinary Hospital apart is their Heartfelt Petcare Plans. That’s why if you’re looking for budget-friendly veterinary care, you could definitely ring them up.
Regarding that, your pet can enjoy a long-term plan with them for every stage of their life, from puppy/kitten to adult and senior. Considering their comprehensive pet healthcare services, we are confident that you can receive care without breaking the bank.
Talking about the quality of care they provide, it’s within our knowledge that they have helped over 9,000 pets. This, in our opinion, is an impressive track record considering that they have only been doing this for almost 10 years.
Throughout the years, the clinic is known in its area for providing full-service animal care: wellness exams, vaccines, diagnostics, and surgical procedures. They do this with the help of the experienced veterinarians they have plus their in-house advanced equipment.
Now, scheduling an appointment with this clinic is quite demanding, at least that’s what we noticed. This is because, in order to secure a booking, you are required to pay a $55 deposit per pet – quite sad news if you have more than one fur baby.
Fortunately, said appointment policy applies only to new clients, meaning follow-up treatments and check-ups will not cost you the same pricing system. Moreover, besides the pet care plans we’ve mentioned, financing options are also available for your consideration.
