Companion Animal Health & Rehabilitation Center

Experiencia negativa: I am so sad. I was recommended this office by my previous veterinarian, so I made an appointment for my cat. I work full time so I sent my husband to bring my cat to see Dr. Quiroz. One of my cat's issues I wanted looked at was her ear scratching. Apparently my cat has a mild yeast infection, and was offered two options: ear drops for cats that we'd need to administer for a month, or a one-time administration of Claro Otic. Dr. Quiroz informed my husband (and myself once I saw the receipt and was freaked out that non-cat safe medication was used) that this medication was intended for dogs, but stated that she uses it on cats all the time and has not seen any adverse reactions. Unfortunately, Dr. Quiroz had just been extremely lucky up until this point, because as soon as they got home I could see something was wrong. My cat's right eye was abnormal and her third eyelid was showing. I intended on returning to Companion Animal Health immediately but it was 25 mins away with traffic, so I opted to bring her to a closer vet. The vet there was able to get ahold of the company who makes Claro Otic and they confirmed that it is not meant for cats, and walked the vet through how to treat my cat. As I write this my cat's eye is still not back to normal and she is unable to eat properly, even though she has an appetite. She wants to eat but cannot figure out how to use her jaw as normal. If the vet would have informed us that the potential side effects for Claro Otic in cats include ear discharge, head shaking, ataxia, internal ear disorder (head tilt and vestibular), deafness, emesis, nystagmus, pinnal irritation and ear pain, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, vocalization, corneal ulcer, cranial nerve disorder (facial paralysis), tympanic membrane rupture - of course we would have opted for the 30 day treatment instead of this "quick fix" that sounded like a perfectly safe option. Please do not continue advocating for use of this medication in cats!!!! It's not worth the risk. I just want my baby to be as healthy as she was before she was brought there.

Experiencia negativa: I have unsubscribed from their email service more times than I can count. I moved out of Escondido 5 years ago, and haven’t been there since. I’ve even contacted them to stop sending me emails. 5 years I’ve been putting up with this. So incredibly annoying.

Experiencia fantástica: My Simba was treated with tenderness and love. The facility is extremely clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It has a family atmosphere, and we will be back for all of Simba's Medical needs.

Experiencia negativa: I recently visited this vet because my cat was over-grooming himself. Despite charging me $340, they seemed clueless about what was going on with him. They had multiple assumptions and pushed various medications on me, including 100mg gabapentin, flea prescriptions, and even injected a steroid. After spending all that money and subjecting my cat to numerous chemicals, there was no improvement. In fact, my cat's condition worsened. Very disappointed with the service and the lack of effective treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: Helpful!

Experiencia fantástica: great vet with great care and visible pricing

Experiencia fantástica: Took my baby here and the staff was friendly and they were super nice to my fur baby as well. Don't look elsewhere. Prices are good too

Experiencia negativa: Moved here year ago and was extremely blessed to find a perfect place I trust for my 3 fur kids. Dr Knox and staff are truly A+. Update 4 years loyal customer. Until now.... Staff turnovers, hugh Appt. Issues before you go in, records mistakes that cost you extra. Pet Buyers Beware... was loyal customer with 3 dogs, now 2 dogs moving on to brighter pastures.

Experiencia negativa: Dear Dr. Knox, Dr. Myer and staff, Thank you so much for the wonderful care you provided for Sadie today, she seems to be feeling much better. I had the utmost confidence that she will once she is in your care. I knew three years ago when I decided to place my girls in your hands for their medical needs that it was the right thing and that they will always have the best care. I have referred your facility to my friends, and I will continue to do that. Thank you again.

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy with the care my dog received here. I really like the way they treated her plus the way everything was explained in detail. My parents came to Dr. Knox for years, so I feel confident that I am making the right choice too. Thanks so much…

Experiencia fantástica: My dog is not easy for a vet to deal with. Dr. Knox has always been able to tackle the issues and resolve the problems. So, while my dog still has anxiety going to the vet, I don't because I know that my dog's problems will be dealt with successfully.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox was very gentle with my Puggle when I took him in for his dental cleaning. Very nice, efficient staff helped get us both in & out of there really quickly. Overall great experience, will definitely continue getting my veterinary needs met here.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Knox is an excellent vet. He and his staff are very knowledgeable, caring and concerned for both my dog's and my welfare. I have been with him for 15yrs and 5 dogs now. I highly recommend him to all pet owners. 2 of my dogs were littermates and had very unusual medical issues that Dr Knox was quite adept at dealing with and got me the resources I needed for them.

Experiencia fantástica: I have entrusted the well-being of all my pets for many years to Companion Animal Clinic and have been satisfied with the way they are cared for. Everyone at Companion has always handled my pets in a kind, gentle manner, which of course any pet owner would appreciate.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox and his staff are the best! I have been taking my pets to them for many years and continue to recommend them to family and friends. Dr. Knox has always made himself available to my furry family, even if it's just to answer my questions. When my cat had breast cancer he and his staff took excellent care of her and helped to extend her life and give us precious extra time with her. My dogs love Dr. Knox and are always thrilled to try and coax an extra treat or two out of the Good Dr. I could not recommend Companion Animal Clinic more highly.

Experiencia fantástica: When I moved from Valley Center I had to leave the wonderful Vet (Dr. Matthews) who specializes with cats, because I no longer had transportation and Escondido was a bit far to travel for our cats' care. Dr. Knox was recommended by three people, and I have been most satisfied and delighted with his care for Maude and Mathilda, who are now about 17 years old and living with me in my residential care facility in Escondido. Dr. Knox is kind, efficient, knowledgeable, and readily available. He helped wean Mathilda from medication she had been taking for many years, and seems to be thriving. The staff at Companion Care are wonderful, caring, pleasant, and obviously very animal friendly!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox and staff are professional, compassionate and caring. Great with dogs or cats, Dr. Knox offers a variety of treatments to fit our budget. Highly recommend their services.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the pleasure of working with both Dr. Meyer and Dr. Knox and they are both the best veterinarians I have ever met. Personable, knowledgeable, and a really nice facility. Five stars!

Experiencia fantástica: Best vet in Escondido, by far. Very caring staff, informative professionals that take you step by step, educating you along the way and let you choose your best option. Shout out to Allyn the vet and the gentleman that works at the front desk. We love all the staff, they are so nice to our cats and dog. They even brought us in for an emergency visit, that day 5 stars, no doubt. I will be a customer here for years to come.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Knox has been our vet for over 20 years. That says it all! He is compassionate, answers all my questions, and I always have a LOT of questions . I trust him with my dogs completely.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox is always responsive to my questions and Brittany (nurse/tech) is also very kind to Jax and helpful at explaining treatment options.

Experiencia fantástica: Wow! Awesome people! Great pet care! Love them

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox is extremely patient and helpful. Great team.

Experiencia fantástica: They have helped over 4 cats I've had good people very caring

Experiencia fantástica: They are very attentive. They're very caring. And they don't churn you they don't rip you off

Experiencia negativa: Good vet. Expensive prices. Not sure it worth the prices. Lots of other options

Experiencia negativa: We took our dog in for her 2nd lepto vaccination, merely weeks after her first dose, at which time we had paid for a full exam and first dose. We were charged $118 for the 2nd dose because the vet's policy is to do a full exam regardless of how recent the last exam was done. This seems like a ridiculous policy to me. We will not be returning. In response to your reply about always giving clients an estimate of costs before providing services...I beg to differ. If that had happened this conversation would not have been necessary.

Experiencia fantástica: They've been wonderful to my little kitten who my girlfriend and I rescued from the streets. They made him comfortable while they gave him the treatments he needed and were very effective/efficient. PLUS my battery died while I was waiting and one of the Vets came out and jumped my car for me! Until they could do that they gave me a cool, unoccupied room to rest in with my kitten so we could protect him from the heat. 10/10 will come back every time I need veterinary services. Probably not when I need my car jumped but it's good to know I can if I NEED to XD

Experiencia fantástica: We just moved to Escondido from Vista and had been looking for a new vet, but needed to find one fast due to a suspected embedded foxtail in our pup's paw. I sent an appointment request on Wednesday evening and got a phone call Thursday morning. Very pleased with the response time. While they had appointments booked a few weeks out, they said I could do a medical drop off on Friday and he would be seen in between visits. Amazing! I am so thankful for this option because he did indeed have a foxtail embedded! The staff was so patient and helpful in calming my anxiety as we've never had to do any sedation before. The doctor was kind and all the staff were so nice and informative. I am excited to make Companion our new vet and feel very happy about the compassion I already feel the staff has.

Experiencia fantástica: Great service! It was my first time taking my dog to companion animal health. I hear a lot of good experiences my good friend recommended this place and I was glad she did friendly staff and the vet was very nice. He explained the procedure my dog was going through and he was very helpful. I will be recommending it to my friend!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox the vet was very thorough and great with my dog. The staff was all friendly and helpful. I have had a terrible time finding a vet. Even to get to Companion I had called 5 different vets prior to being referred to them. I feel comfortable taking my dogs to their clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox and his staff are awesome. My dog got seriously ill last year and we thought we would lose him, but Dr. Know turned it around. Definitely recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Very caring techs and doctor and good explanation. Before they begin with anything, they come out with the prices and the explanation of what they're going to do. They won't do anything until you agree to it, which is good because many vets will go ahead and do whatever and then charge you later. I just wished the spaying wasn't over $200 but being near the coast, I can understand that. If you bring two pets at the same time, you get 10% off the second pet.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Dr. Jennipher Harris and her team at Premier Veterinary Surgery as well as the staff at Companion Animal Health & Rehab Hospital enough. If you are in need of a board-certified veterinary surgeon, look no further. Dr. Harris is a mobile vet surgeon who does some of her cases at this facility in Escondido. The quality of care, communication and customer service I’ve received throughout the entire process has exceeded all of my expectations. After my 3 1/2 year old black lab was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumor, Low Grade II following the removal of an unsuspecting very small skin tag by our family vet, we did all the work up (imaging, labs, organ aspirations, etc.) through an oncology specialist and were able to determine that the cancer hadn’t spread and a revision surgery was the best next step to remove all of the remaining cancerous tissue. After researching, comparing availability, cost, location and of course experience and skill, we decided to move forward with Dr. Harris. Danena on her team worked diligently with us through the busy holiday season, even updating me on surgery availability and keeping me informed of where we stood in the process of scheduling, on Christmas Day. Additionally, Dr. Harris’ bedside manner is so kind and gentle yet confident and reassuring. My pup, Naia, absolutely loved her and immediately felt comfortable with her. It’s almost been two weeks post-op and Naia is healing great. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Harris and her team. Thank you for the incredible care, skill and overall patient experience!

Experiencia fantástica: They've been wonderful to my little kitten who my girlfriend and I rescued from the streets. They made him comfortable while they gave him the treatments he needed and were very effective/efficient. PLUS my battery died while I was waiting and one of the Vets came out and jumped my car for me! Until they could do that they gave me a cool, unoccupied room to rest in with my kitten so we could protect him from the heat. 10/10 will come back every time I need veterinary services. Probably not when I need my car jumped but it's good to know I can if I NEED to XD

Experiencia fantástica: My dog Hank had some chronic health problems and while on a trip to CA he became very ill. Per my friends recommendations, I took him to be seen at Companion. The Vet was very straightforward with me and although he didn't have good news, he truly had my dog's best interest in mind. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog that day. The Vet and staff were all very comforting and made the process as smooth and humane as possible. Thank you Companion for helping me make the right decision and for ending his pain and suffering.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Knox and his amazing staff have been seeing my Greyhound here for 1 year now. This is an updated review to my previous review, which is still found at the end here. Dr Knox is very honest and let me know, when he thought that more imaging needed to be done, after my Shadow didn't seem to be improving as much as he thought with their laser sessions. He was honest and told me that more info was better, so that he could figure out how to treat her lingering discomfort. After following his advice to get imaging at an off-site hospital, we learned from that MRI that she has degenerative disc disease in her back, so Dr Knox's teem is now treating that additional area. The techs have been so kind and friendly and patient, and Shadow LOVES to go to this Vet clinic for her therapy. Huge thanks to everyone and to Gabe. Shadow forgets all about me, when he arrives to take her in, and she usually has separation anxiety. She stands up and looks out the window for her favorite tech to come get her. If we arrive too early for our appointment, she whines and watches for him to come out the clinic door. Even my other two greyhounds now want to go with him, when he takes Shadow inside. I usually have to carry them all into our regular vet or ER vets, because they don't want to go in alone and are scared. We are doing curbside, as Covid has changed many things in life. I am thankful that they have continued to go to work at this clinic and to see patients, during covid, because my Shadow has needed them. I feel confident with her in their care. They listen to all of my concerns and questions, and let me know, if they don't have the answer. Previous review: My vet recommended that I bring my Greyhound here, as she was limping and possibly had a groin injury needing physical therapy. I called Companion and was able to get an appointment quickly. I dropped off copies of my greyhound's Xrays in advance, and Dr Knox did a physical exam of her to see where she was reacting to pain. They diagnosed her with a groin injury and recommended that we do a few sessions of laser therapy, which they were able to start that day. It was easy to schedule the future therapies. They have been so nice to my Shadow, and everything has gone smoothly so far. We are only 2 visits in, with at least 8 more to go, but I am happy to have my greyhound in their care. Today the tech was so nice, when he brought her back out to my car. We had a quick chat, and I thanked him for helping her. He was kind and I was happy that he had been able to pet her, while she had her laser therapy session today.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at this place. It was my first time coming here. My Mother had recommended it to me since she also had a great experience there just the week before. They were very thorough about what tests were going to be done and what to expect. They loved my dog, and saw me in a timely manner. They continued to ask me if I had any questions for me, and listened to what I had to say. Personable staff with a good attitude. It was a relief to see these people give my dog the care he deserved. Thank you to the whole staff, I will be back and be recommending this place to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Very pleased with Companion! My new Veterinarian.

Experiencia fantástica: Great customer service great pet care

Experiencia fantástica: Good service, safe, and convenient.

Experiencia fantástica: Great animal care givers!

Experiencia fantástica: We make the Drive. They are great! Recommended for Rescues.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable very caring staff and doctor can't go wrong here.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox and staff are awesome and I recommend them highly for your pet's care.

Experiencia positiva: They got my cat in really quickly and were super knowledgeable

Experiencia negativa: I took my golden retriever there because he had bad hips. I had numerous issues with the facility with the worse being a dead dog and 0 explanation. I called in when I noticed an issue and they advised me my dog was normal. My dog died hours after that.

Experiencia fantástica: Called and had an appointment the following day. Quick drop off and pickup. Very friendly professionals. Thank you for taking care of Tortilla.

Experiencia negativa: Called weekly for months to get an in person appointment. When we arrived they said "we only do in person visits in the morning"......but said they would make an exception if we paid 20 per dog to clean the exam room. really? Warm and fuzzy place.......we have 3 pets and spend a fortune. haven't responded to my emails.

Experiencia negativa: This review is not based on the knowledge of the vet, but on the service and overall care. I will give the pros and con of my experience. Pros: easy to get appointments, even at last minute for emergencies (within business hours). Staff is pleasant. Prices are comparable. Patient and willing to answer many questions Cons: poor communication. Almost zero follow up. Vague diagnostics, need to probe to get a thorough understanding of findings. One of my experiences: They agreed to see my cat without apps. on a Monday. He had been vomiting all weekend and stopped eating Sunday. I got a call early afternoon saying they needed to do blood work and x-rays. I agreed to x-rays, and if they couldn't find the problem to do the blood work. After x-rays I was told by he appeared to have swelling of the pancreas, diagnosis pancreatitis. When I went to pick him up, they told me to come at 5 which is closing time, the Dr. came out and reaffirmed the diagnosis. He explained the medicine he was giving me would be for inflammation and one for appetite. He said there would be one for vomiting, but then after I ask for clarification of administering the meds., he said there were 2 and one of them would help with the vomiting. I had to ask a bunch of questions about why he thought it was pancreatitis and not a blockage or diabetes or something else. He didn't explain the seriousness of the diagnosis At all. The next day, my cat was still not eating, it was the 3rd day without food. My research said it is very serious if cats don't eat after 3 days. I called the vet wanting to know what I was really dealing with. I wanted to know if I was going to have to euthanize as he was rapidly declining and I had found out from personal research how serious this was. I spoke to a tech who was very nice, calmed me down and said to just relax and be with my cat and not project stress on him, but to just be comforting. The vet would call me back later. He did not call back. I called again the next day, day 4 of my cat not eating. He was now just lying on the floor looking like road kill. Vet finally called me later that day. Just before he did, my cat had finally had something to eat. I continued all meds. and he got back to normal. After that last call I had no follow up from the vet. Forward to 5 weeks later, my cat starts vomiting and crying again. I call the vet right when office opens to see what I should do. The receptionist says vet will call later that afternoon, or by 5. At 5 I called back ND was told I was 3rd on the call back list. He NEVER called me back. This is a serious life threatening chronic problem my cat is having and his vet is doing NOTHING! This is just one experience. The vet handed lacerations on my other cat great, but then gave me antibiotics for another cat that had hair loss on his nose and said "let's see if this works" basically didn't know what it was but if the meds. worked it meant it was an infection. Hope this gives you enough info. to make an informed decision.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been more than satisfied with Companion Animal Health & Rehabilitation since we started going in June 2021. As a first time puppy owner, I have had ALL the questions, and every single time I call they listen and help. Everyone from the receptionists to the vet techs and Dr. Knox are truly a pleasure to speak to and always more than happy to assist, answer questions, and keep me informed. The techs here go above and beyond to ensure that I have a clear understanding of treatment and any necessary after care; one of the techs (Britney, I believe) even showed me how to trim my puppy's nails safely. I've also spoken with Amanda, Juliana, and Carla when I've called and every single time they have been professional and so kind. I am extremely pleased with their care for my dog, Jovie, and their patience and thoroughness in every single thing they do. Thank you all for your hard work and excellent customer service!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Knox & his staff are so kind and caring. I like that he's progressive as well. From natural remedies to physical therapy. These people are the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox and his staff are amazing with my 2 cats. They genuinely care about their wellbeing and I have no desire to ever go to another vet.

Experiencia fantástica: My latest visit was a breeze. My dog is so much better now. He has thanked me repeatedly so I thought I would pass it along. Dahbie says "thank you" Dr. Knox!

Experiencia fantástica: Have had 3 visits here for my puppy and each experience has been very positive. Even with Covid the staff is amazing at providing speedy service. The veterinarian came out to meet us for the first visit and seemed like a genuinely good man. On my last visit Lola got excited peed all over the staff member and she handled it like a champ. Prices are reasonable. Very satisfied overall.

Experiencia fantástica: My 4 year old American Staff Terrier has gotten 2 TPLO surgeries with Dr. Knox. First surgery was October 2020, I had a lot of questions for them before and after her surgery. The staff and Dr. Knox answered all my questions, their knowledge, professionalism and compassion made the recovery less stress full. Second surgery was 2 days ago, I know my dog is in great hands. If you love your pets and want the best treatment for them, this center is the place. Thank you Dr. Knox and staff for taking great care of my dog Piper.

Experiencia fantástica: Great and caring vet!!

Experiencia negativa: Like most vets, overpriced and not willing to work with us. My cat died. My fault.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox is the best in town. Very caring doctor

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice place. Employees are very kind and loving to our dog. They help and have answers all questions. Due to COVID they have set up a good system to bring in our pet with minimal contact.

Experiencia fantástica: An important asset to the community of San Diego. Such compassionate people doing a phenomenal job of caring for horses, companion animals and wildlife. Teaching and inspiring the community to uphold standards of excellence in animal welfare. Sarah Jilka is doing such a fantastic job providing community support and outreach through the Ani-meals Program to pet parents affected by COVID-19. You just get an appointment time and drive up pop your trunk and her team fills your trunk with a 2 wk supply of pet food and groceries. They put a slip of paper in with your goodies that tells you when you are eligible to re-submit form. If you experience any problems online just call Sarah and she will help you complete your application over the phone and schedule a pick up time for you.

Experiencia fantástica: Companion Canine Health and Rehab has been a life saver for my dog. Because of Dr. Knox, Natalie and all his staff, Moose has improved tremendously due to the hydro therapy sessions he is doing and will continue to do. I can’t imagine where we would be at this point after several knee surgeries without them! Thank you all for everything you do and have done for Moose! ❤️ See you at our next hydrotherapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a client since I got my new dog back in Feb. Very friendly, courteous staff. Specially now with COVID, they really do go the extra mile. Dr. Knox is awesome as well. I go there regularly to get food. Please be thankful to the staff. They are frontline heroes. They care for our babies.

Experiencia fantástica: Great vet! The staff were friendly and professional and they took great care of my kitten during his neuter. It was fast and only $55 as part of the San Diego Humane Society’s Spay and neuter program. The clinic was clean and centrally located in Escondido.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred by my brother. I absolutely loved everything about my experience with Companion, their staff and Dr. Knox. They treated my 4 legged fur baby with such care and love. I felt the sincerity. I truly appreciated everything. They are now pur go to Vet every single time. I highly recommend Companion! Thanks for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: The new location is great, parking can be a bit tricky so you might want to show up a little early. That being said, you can really tell how much Dr. Knox and his staff care about their patients. They treat them with a level of care and patience I've never experienced while visiting a vet, which as a cat owner I feel is an absolute necessity.

Experiencia fantástica: Rita was mauled on 5th. They performed surgery 1 hour 3 minutes repaired what they could. They saved Rita’s life.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox is great. They listen to all concerns, give advice, and don't try to game you for more money. I asked if a particular procedure needed to be done (I had previously been told it would have to be done semi-regularly) and they said it was not necessary, even though they could have just said it was and tacked it on to the bill. Front desk staff is helpful as far as insurance is concerned (plus they're just nice people).

Experiencia fantástica: Companion Canine Health and Rehab has been a life saver for my dog. Because of Dr. Knox, Natalie and all his staff, Moose has improved tremendously due to the hydro therapy sessions he is doing and will continue to do. I can’t imagine where we would be at this point after several knee surgeries without them! Thank you all for everything you do and have done for Moose! ❤️ See you at our next hydrotherapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I have two pets and working with a Veterinarian who is compassionate and takes the time to understand your pets is important. Dr Knox D.V.M is that Doctor! The staff were welcoming, professional and kind. It was a really great experience overall. Scheduled a tooth cleaning for my VERY Shy Cat who handled the general exam far better than I expected...Dr Knox handled him with care and kindness and for a 9 year old cat, he did really great! So Happy! Making an appointment was simple and the facility was very nice and clean. Great overall! Ten Stars out of Ten! Your family of pets will thank you for visiting too!

Experiencia fantástica: Very good Veterinarian, such kindness displayed when y cat was euthanized. Vet had Rose Flower Vase sent to my residence the next day with a card. I never had any Veterinarian do that, so very grateful. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Experiencia fantástica: I've been taking both of my chihuahuas here for almost two years now. The staff is always really nice and friendly. They offer affordable prices while providing excellent quality services. I've taken my babies here to get their shots, exams, and dental cleaning/teeth extractions, and every time was a good experience. I must also mention that my chihuahuas are extremely misbehaved and terrified of strangers/new places/new things, and sometimes act out aggressively when they are scared. Despite their behavioral challenges, the staff and vet are always very patient and gentle with them, and are able to get my dogs to calm down and relax. I highly recommend this place. Will be sad to have to switch to another clinic when I move back to Arizona.

Experiencia fantástica: I was able to make an appointment on a Saturday right away, and the new clinic is so nice! Friendly receptionist, and Dr Knox is amazing with animals. Love going to this place! My dog Lucy is already doing better, now that we know what is wrong with her. Thanks to the entire staff!!

Experiencia fantástica: I brought our aggressive cat to Dr. Knox after a poor experience at another vet. Dr. Knox was very helpful and tried to explain my cat's subjective experience to us so that I could help get into his mindset and help him relieve some of his stress and stop acting aggressive. He also prescribed a course of treatment to help him get along with our other cats. The results were almost immediate and the aggressive behavior has almost completely gone. Thanks Dr. Knox for listening to our concerns and empathetically helping us to better understand our little buddy!

Experiencia fantástica: son tan alegres y tan amables amo llevar a mi daisy alli

Experiencia fantástica: Best vet in Escondido. Will take good care of your pets

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Knox is an amazing vet .his staff is very friendly

Experiencia negativa: Specifically asked them to take me off their contact list, stop sending me mail and calling me about my cat because of her passing away from a disease and years later they are still calling me to check up on her reminding me of her not being here. This is ridiculous please keep up to date files and contact list!

Experiencia negativa: The vet who saw me and my dog, didnt seem to care much. My dog was suffering from a food allergy. He wouldnt find the source.He didnt even use his educational background to make a diagnosis. He wanted me to do 500.00 worth of testing. So i went home and looked at every ingredient in my dog food. Eliminated the chicken and boom. 500.00 cheaper. And all i had to do was pay attention.

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda, Ramona and Dr. Knox were all wonderful with my kitty, Gandalf, who was having some eye problems. I am so happy I found this Vet!

Experiencia fantástica: Affordable prices, knowledgeable staff. Dr. Knox and is staff are all wonderful, kind, empathetic. He's been our bullie doctor for over 14yrs.

Experiencia fantástica: I took our kitten Luna to get spayed here and they were excellent. They set up a surgery appointment very quickly, the people at the desk are very nice, and they took good care of Luna. They even called to check up on her the next day. I would highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: We had our dog get clawed by a feral cat and his throat started to swell up. They got us in first thing and gave him a shot and cleaned the area. He is better and the staff really seemed to care and let us know what to expect. Thank you. Also had our new rescue kitten spayed and again treated very well and given all the info we needed to keep her healthy while she recovered. Thanks again.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Knox and his entire staff are all that anyone could want in terms of friendly, competent people. They exhibit real caring for their patients, and do all that’s necessary for the patients owners. I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Love Dr. Knox and his staff, been going there for years! He is so honest and caring doesn't push anything on you and always takes such time with you making sure you and your pets are comfortable, makes sure all your questions are answered. Never feel rushed and always feel like I can walk away feeling confident in everything that was done and talked about. Would give more stars if I could!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Companion are great. The Vet is totally awesome. Explains everything that I can understand. All ways give me the price before we do anything. Glad my Freddy has Companion clinic to go to when he's not feeling like Freddy

Experiencia fantástica: Love Dr. Dave Knox...he's wonderful with animals and people!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Knox is excellent

Experiencia fantástica: They were very compassionate when our cat passed away and took the time to help us through our grief. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Kind and compassionate. I would never even think of taking my pets to another vet. ❤❤❤

Experiencia fantástica: I love this office the staff are all nice and easy to work with and they treated our dog with great care

Experiencia fantástica: Always takes care of our pets caring truthfu,l and professional way. Always refused the options available and answers our in-depth questions. Even sent us flowers after the passing of one of our cats.

Experiencia positiva: Nice veterinarian, nice staff. Not as efficient as they might be. Would like it if animals (particularly dogs on leashes) could be taken directly out AFTER owner has taken care of the bill so my scared kitty (and others) wouldn't be subjected to 15 minutes of barking, yelping and lunging in the waiting room.

Experiencia negativa: Can't imagine any worse customer service! Had an appointment for our 2 dogs, got there 15 minutes early, opted to wait outside as the waiting room was way to small. Was given a paper to fill out and I did so. returned to the receptionist who said she'd be right out to talk to us, never happened. we left at 10:15. No matter how good the Dr. is, it is useless if the front help is lacking. No stars, very poor service.

Experiencia negativa: It seemed like a reasonably priced vet. Dr. Knox and tech were very informative and patient seemed very caring in the 1st and 2nd encounter. But then Dr. Knox was scheduled to be out for the next appointment and we would be seeing another Dr. It went all down hill on that visit, claimed there was no appointment, that it was actually canceled by receptionist, since the inititual treatment was not successful, we called to see if we could be seen before the next scheduled appointment if they had a cancellation or opening sooner, which they did immediately the same day. Went to appointment got a large $$$$ quote, needef to talk it through with family, decided to get antibiotic to see if that treatment would clear up condition, but keep same next appointment date already scheduled, we all agreed in exam room to do that. Got antibiotic, was explained amount to be given and we left. Well the medicine needed to be refrigerated, was not informed of that! Didn't realize it, until saw it on the counter and it had seperated?! Then even with my progressive lenses to 225 magnification, could hardly make out it needed to be regridgerated. Well can't use it any more to treat. When get into office, they said didn't have an appoint sceduled, and didn't show yhey cancelled it bevause if their proceedure, if come in before that appiintment its cancelled and repkaced with the appointment you had. It would be extra $54.00 on top of regular visit cost for tjus appointment. Just like with human medical iffices do, and it's on the box that the medicine needs to be refridgerated, hthis wad some middle aged stout short woman I've never seen or met before. She is brass and rude. I'm in the medical and dental field, and that us not how it's handled or extra charged, which I told her. Also, any medications or oral treatment products the asdistant, nurse, physicuan or pharmacists tells you that in the first part of instruction, then asks if there are any questions. So we are looking for another vet to treat our beloved pet!!! If you go here, adk a lit of questions, hopefully you can think of them all, so you won't feel so badly treated in the end.

Experiencia fantástica: I wanted to wait until we had visited Companion Pet Clinic a few times before writing a review. Total to date - we have had 2 scheduled appointments for our Golden Retriever puppy (Stella) and 1 unplanned visit. The staff are warm, friendly and reflective of Dr. Knox himself who will immediately put you right at ease. This is a small clinic with reasonable pricing and no up-selling of unnecessary services or products. My wife and I are so happy we found Dr. Knox and Companion Pet Clinic; and know Stella will receive the best possible care in the years to come. When we took Stella's Rabies vaccination paperwork to the Humane Society for registration - we communicated to the front desk Stella was being cared for by Dr. Knox and Companion Pet Clinic; and were told Dr. Knox has routinely volunteered his time at the Center and they echoed what we had already experienced with his kindness and dedication.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome, it's a small Clinic there's no long Waits and the people are great. I love dr. Knox he was sweet knowledgeable good with my cat and my overall is a 5. + Stars. They got me in the same day which help relieve my tension about my cat. These folks are really nice you can't go wrong as far as I'm concerned, and first-time customers . have a half price for first visits coupon on their website all you have to do is show them on your phone.

Experiencia fantástica: I find the staff at Companion Animal Clinic to be professional, personable and thorough. From the friendly greeting when I walk through the door through follow up phone calls, it's clear they want to make sure my pets issues are resolved in a timely manor. I never feel rushed or my input glossed over. It's comforting to know their skilled and compassionate services are a phone call away.

Experiencia fantástica: Great Vet, super friendly and accommodating staff. They definitely try to help their furry patient family and try to fit you in the same day you call in some cases. I just moved here and they have been super helpful in getting my dog prepared for his new home

Experiencia fantástica: I have been bringing my six year old dog to Dr. Knox since she was a puppy, and it has been a wonderful experience every visit. The staff are friendly and you can tell they love animals as much as Dr. Knox does. They always know who me and my dog are, and usually will come out to say “hi” to my dog while I’m in the waiting room. Dr. Knox is an amazing veterinarian; he is gentle, honest and genuinely wants to help in any way possible. Doug is great, too! We love Companion Animal Clinic!
