Other than the price, I had a good experience here. The vet/dentist/specialist really explained what was going on with my cats teeth and gums well and laid out several treatment options as well as results that have been seen in the past. My cat had stomatitis which I didn't know existed until my cat was having trouble eating solid food and had very red gums.
It came on very quickly compared to what an initial vet visit said somewhere else. And unfortunately most my cats teeth had to be removed. I can call her toofless or 3,000 dollar kitty now. Animal dentistry really should be cheaper. I believe a lot of local vets charge 1/3 to 1/2 the price but many don't have the tools to do the surgery at one time like the specialist. They did a great job though, the cat healed up great.

Thank you thank you thank you for my Handsome Jack's two successful fanganals. Beg Pardon for my medical jargoneasy: Oh, umm, Jack's overdue for his 6-month root review. BEFORE; See close-up photograph of 1 of Jack's fangs. AFTER: See? We haven't even left the vehicle yet. So, it's, yanno, RIGHT AFTER.

So, while pricey, the return is worth it tenfold. Dr. Crowder and team are a godsend. I brought my Pomeranian in to have her teeth cleaned as she has a collapsing trachea and larynx. They used an extra small endotracheal tube, and I knew they'd have the expertise to protect her airway. I also let them know about her existing sinus issues with sneezing, hard exhales to clear her sinuses and shaking of her head that even K State hadn't been able to figure out. Dr. Crowder went above and beyond, diagnosing an ear infection, cleaning up what she could and also letting us know about some other damage going on in my dog's sinuses.
If you have a beloved companion that needs a little extra care and you need some peace of mind, I highly recommend Companion Animal Dentistry. Finally, we are on the right path to diagnose and treat my dog's issues thanks to Dr. Crowder. She listened and delivered much more than just cleaning my dog's teeth.

Excellent care for my Maltipoo. He had an accident with another dog and ended up with a broken jaw. They were amazing and able to complete his surgery the same day. We're 2 weeks post surgery and he's doing great. He was back to acting like himself 2 days after surgery. Thank you for everything you did for Mumford.

I was referred to this place for a dental cleaning and possible teeth extractions. I wasn't aware there is a $120 examination fee alone. I asked why it's so much and I got this response "didn't you ask how much the fee was while making the appt?"After we discussed what needed to be done they pulled out the estimated bill to be almost $2,374. That was beyond what I can afford.
I have only had to pay up to $800 for teeth cleaning/extractions for my dogs at other places. I did not expect how expensive this place is. I still had to pay the $120 for them to just listen to her lungs and look at her teeth. Nothing else. Be aware the prices before making an appt. I do not recommend.

My little maltipoo got his jaw broken and every single vet I talked to in a 50 mile radius ALL said the best place for him was Companion Animal Dentistry. $3500 later he's on the mend. Though it was almost prohibitively expensive (and he still needs one more surgery.) the care he received and the professionalism of the staff was absolutely top notch! I couldn't have asked for better.

Dr. Crowder speaks rather fast without slowing down to explain the medical jargon she uses. When your pet might have cancer, it's already hard to take in all of the information you're being given. We had a big misunderstanding about a follow up appointment for my cat, where the clinic had just booked another follow up appointment, but I thought we were bringing him in for an imaging procedure.
I had fasted him for 12 hours when I brought him in at 10am. We found the discrepancy but they said that they could still do the procedure. Apparently, there was an emergency case that came in which pushed my cat's procedure to later in the day (around 3pm). When I calmly communicated my upset that my cat had been left there, starving, for several hours, before being given any anesthetic, worried that he had been traumatized by the experience, and suggesting that the clinic could have communicated with me about the emergency and given me the option to reschedule, which I would have been glad to do, Dr. Crowder did not apologize, defended the actions, and told me that she would let her staff know that I preferred more communication.
I told her that I believed that every client deserved better communication and that I was telling her this to give her the opportunity to improve her practice. All she said was thank you for the feedback with a big smile on her face. I don't doubt that she is good at animal dentistry. I just wish that the clinic had better processes in place, especially in communication, instead of having to deal with a medical professional who can't empathize with her customers.

Companion Animal Dentistry is hands down the best dental care for your pet! My American Bulldog - Spartan had some bleeding mass on his upper gum. Our vet recommended Companion Animal Dentistry, he said they are the best in the area. Doctor Susan Crowder was attending my dog. After receiving biopsy results it turned out he had cancer therefore a front part of Spartan's jaw needed to be removed.
Doctor Crowder has performed this highly complex procedure brilliantly! Because this was a major surgery, I took my dog to the Mission Vet Center to be observed for a couple of days. When I came to see him the next morning, I learned that Doctor Crowder came by to visit him earlier, even though it was her day off. It took 4 surgical procedures to fix up my boy and now he is cancer-free, healthy, happy, and enjoys life to the fullest.
Over the whole process that lasted a few months, the entire staff of Companion Animal Dentistry was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I really felt that my dog is getting the best care, he was surrounded by loving and compassionate people and I always knew they have his best interest in heart. I am so grateful for everything Dr. Susan Crowder and her staff did for my boy. I would highly recommend Companion Animal Dentistry to anyone who's beloved pet needs dental care. Spartan said: Hello, he loves you all.

We brought the dog in for a dental exam because she is in a lot of pain and will not eat or drink. She recently has an abscessed tooth that needs to be removed. This is advertised as a DENTAL OFFICE. They did not preform a dental exam but decided to have a lengthy discussion about cardiograms instead. The dog has had a heart murmur for 14 years and has done just fine during prior teeth cleaning. They refuse to treat the tooth unless we pay for an unnecessary cardiogram. High dollar bait and switch, only interested in money. Could care less about your pet. AVOID!
