About our Hospital

Companion Animal Hospital is a privately owned, full service Veterinary Hospital located in the Crossroads area of Bellevue. We have been in business in this location since 1998.

We strive to practice preventive medicine in order to minimize the risk factors associated with many diseases. We believe the annual, and sometimes biannual exam, can be of greater importance than annual vaccines given without an exam.

By practicing this premise, we are able to slow and possibly stop the progression of many different diseases. This approach to veterinary care allows your pet to live a longer, more comfortable life.

At Companion Animal Hospital, we treat your pets like the valued family members they are.

We offer a wide variety of veterinary services, including:

General Surgery
Spay + Neuter
Vaccinations + Preventive Medicine
Nutritional counseling

Due to immunocompromised staff, we are continuing to practice social distancing, in addition to a safer appointment approach, to keep you, your pets, and our staff, safe and healthy.

Our current protocol includes the following:

We encourage the use of face masks to reduce the spread of illness and disease.
We are continuing to practice social distancing as much as possible and will continue to have patients examined in our treatment area while you wait in the lobby. After the exam is complete, our doctor will meet with you to discuss the exam findings. Checkout will be completed in the lobby as usual.
We are still accommodating curbside assistance when requested by our clients.
Policies and procedures are reviewed by hospital management on a regular basis.
