We love community pet hospital! For the last 2 ish years we've taken all of our dogs to either this location or the Washington location. We had a very old rat terrier named, Rambo who required emergency services for an abscessed tooth. He was a complex dog with lots of issues and they not only listened to our concerns but gave him fantastic care and treatment over The Day year of his life. After that first visit, they became the vet we take all of our dogs to. This year we had to say goodbye to our old boy Rambo on short notice and they got us an appointment within the hour. It was a horrible day made better by their professionalism and empathy. They are kind, caring, and very much know what they are doing. They have done dental surgery/cleanings on our other two dogs that we currently have, which of course went very smooth and was an easy process. They also do the typical checkups and screenings which is very easy. I love that they use the app too, to refill prescriptions, make appointments, etc. 11/10 would recommend this vet. We have yet to have a bad time with them. Unlike other vet offices, I don't feel like this is a vet where you go and they just push a bunch of unnecessary stuff on you, which I also appreciate

Riverdale office is very convenient and more intimate. The Washington location is fantastic for emergency appointments and is fast paced but always professional. Both locations have wonderful staff and take the extra mile for their patients. Highly recommend Community Pet hospitals for regular maintenance and special emergencies. They care!

I’m so glad I found Community Pet Hospital. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable & very caring for the wellness of my little dog Abba. I’ve been there a few times when she was in a lot of pain & they were able to help her. The vet Pam is awesome!! She answers all my questions & concerns in a calm & reassuring manner. When my dog was barely walking Pam knew exactly the right meds & treatment needed to bring my fur baby back to her normal happy pup that she is. I’ve been to other vets but always felt a little uneasy. I highly recommend CPH. Thank you all again, especially Pam.

We recently gave CPH on Riverdale a try after being price gouged by another local vet. The staff were pretty friendly with me and our 10yo kitty. She's been pulling at her fur and had some discomfort. I appriciate the Dr. examined and gave her injection right in front of me instead to "taking her in the back" so I could see how they handled her. Part of the reason I switched is because I was getting concerns of negligence with our other established clinic, that recently changed ownership and won't let me see how they handle my kitty. Very much appreciate the care by the staff at CPH.

We recently had to put our 17 year old lab to sleep in an emergency situation. Community and Riverdale have been so amazing. Also, had great pet care for Mya 12 year old Husky. Dr. Smith is the best. He takes as much time as needed to talk. Highly recommend! Have used them for 11 years.
