l really loved Companion Pet Hospital when they first opened in 2009. They are right in our neighborhood. We could get appointments very easily, the vets and staff were really attentive, they had short waiting times, and affordable prices. The last few times I tried to bring my dogs there, it was really tough to get an appointment (had to wait 3+ days). The last 2 times we needed a vet, it was in somewhat urgent situations and we ended up going to VSEC, where we had no problem seeing the vet within 10-15 minutes after walking in the door with no appointment. I also feel that the customer service at Companion has steadily declined. Technicians or even the vets used to email us with updates, photos, and follow-ups, which now happens less and less. They also seem much more rushed, less personalized, just kind of copy-paste type of responses. Overall I think its great that Companion has grown their business and become so successful, but perhaps it was too much too quick. I just think they need to be careful that it doesnt cause a decline in what made them so great in the first place.

Had my first appointment with these folks today - just an exam and rabies vacc for my house cat Sylvester. This place is wonderful! From the moment I came in the door, the staff was super helpful and very kind to my cat. Everyone in the office, the vet tech, and the vet were great with him and very thorough in addressing any concerns I had about his health. Prices are reasonable (exam and vaccinations were $108). A really great part of the experience is the detailed notes they emailed to me after the exam, including a diet plan for him and a quote for dental work in the future. I got a weekday afternoon appointment scheduled within a week of my first call, which I think is pretty reasonable. The office was pretty busy while I was there, and they definitely take the same amount of care with every animal that walks in the door. Every staff member listened carefully to the concerns of pet owners and observed the pets very thoroughly. I cant say enough great things about this place and I look forward to bringing my cat back.

On October 6th we had our yearly vet appointment for our dear dog Duncan(minpin Terrier mix is what we were told. Ever since we rescued him he has been accumulating some un-wanted weight. Not know all I should about dog foods, I was following the serving size on the bag. and not taking into account the types of teats we give him. Now when I say we are concerned Im not saying he’s two tons. His ideal weight is supposed to be 17-18lb. He went from 20lb to 19lb. When we rescued him he was 14lbs. Companion Pet Hospital didn’t make me feel like I was a horrible pet owner. They mealy put me in the right direction to correcting such a minor problem for our dog, The staff are amazing, they go above and beyond for their clientele. Thanks again for all you do, Dominic Mark Damien and our furry pet Duncan

I cant say enough good things about Companion Pet Hospital! I have a reactive dog and a cranky cat that both see Dr. Leibovitz, and she is wonderful. If you mention to the staff on the phone that your dog is reactive, they will try to schedule you before or after their other appointments to avoid waiting room freak-outs and always make it a positive experience for your pet. My cat also had to have surgery a few years ago, and they did an excellent job, performing the work of a specialist at a much lower price. Theyre also environmentally friendly, and have an awesome green wall in their waiting room. Best of all, they are very friendly and kind to all breeds of dogs! Love them.

Dr. Majeska and the entire crew have been caring for our two rescues for a few years now and I wouldnt take them anywhere else. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and attentive to every patient. They even remind you of their birthdays! I wouldnt trust my pups with anyone else and theyll even email you to check in anytime the pet has a visit. In a state of the art facility (impeccably clean by the way!) with truly the best animal caretakers Ive ever experienced, theres no other place that can compare. I even moved and continue to commute down here because theyre just simply that good at what they do. Trust them and know your pet is in good hands.

This is THE best Vet around South Street/Philadelphia Area. The staff is very friendly, and the vet is knowledgeable and helpful. We’ve been taking our dog to Queen’s Village since she was born, but because of our busy days sometime it’s difficult to get appointment at all. Out of frustration, I googled for another VET in our area and found Companion. And luckily, they were able to fit us in for an appointment the same day that I called them. I was also pleasantly surprised when I got a follow up email from them asking how our doggy is doing after her vaccinations. If you live around South Street/Philly area, this is the place to bring your pet!!!

BEST vet. Started going when I lived nearby. When I moved to other part of Philly I switched to the Cat Doctor for convenience.. BAD idea. I didnt like how they handled my cat and they gave me terrible advice. Companion agreed with me completely and answered all my questions even though I wasnt a current patient. They were very supportive of me and helped me transition back to them. The quality, care and love they give to their clients (and their humans) is worth any drive. While I hope I dont have to go back to the vet soon, I wont worry knowing they will give me nothing but the best care. THE BEST IN PHILADELPHIA!!

AMAZING! The staff is welcoming & friendly from the moment you and your pet step in the door. As my pup was a new patient, we had the pleasure of filling out all of her info on an iPad, which was pretty cool, and convenient. The vet and tech were incredibly pleasant and thorough- I never felt rushed (which has been the case at other offices.) And, to top it off, they emailed a detailed review of our visit- including lots of helpful tips for keeping my dog healthy. They also checked in a few weeks later to see how Pennys treatment plan was going. Brilliant!

Ive been taking my dog to Companion since I took him home from the shelter for everything from grooming to annual exams, to dental surgery. Every single experience from start to finish with Companion has been exceptional. Their staff is very helpful, compassionate and incredibly professional. Companion is also very reasonable in regard to cost/prices. I have recommended Companion to everyone I know who has a pet they love. I cannot say enough good things about them! Thank you Companion Pet Hospital for all you do for this community!

I could not be happier with the people and the facilities. I have a 1 year old 40 pound dog with a history of abuse. She is terrified of new places and new people, but within a few minutes she was wagging her tail and having a good time. The receptionists, the techs, and Dr Leibovitz were all so kind and loving. They worked with her anxiety and once she calmed down, they took care of her with no problem and gave me all kinds of pointers on raising her. Im so happy that we found a good place that we can trust.
