Alberta Veterinary Care Portland, Washington

I would give them 100 stars if I could. Alberta Vet Care is the best of the best, they are thorough, kind, patient, explain everything clearly and they never try to force unnecessary procedures on your pet. I drive almost an hour to see Dr. Cates, I would drive further if I had to, he is the best.

We have an English Bulldog and finding a good vet has been hard, as not very many vets know the uncommon things that can be occurring in their breed. We have had to do a lot of self teaching and finding a new vet when our gut tells us our dog isn't getting the care she needs - BUT I think we have found the vet who can truly help us ensure our girl is getting the best care and quality of life! The support staff got me scheduled, well prepared me for what was needed for the appointment, and made checking in and out easy! Dr. Cates examined every component of our dog from head to toe, and found things that other vets have missed or over looked. He was thorough in his options of care, and honest in which order was best for diagnosis, and priorities for her comfort. We are very excited to continue to get care from Dr. Cates and his team!

Never been a more attentive, compassionate, and honest staff. They’ve gone above and beyond with comforting our family through our young pups heartworm treatment and just the regular check ups for both our dogs. Can’t say enough nice things about AVC and their staff. Best in the biz :)

We love our vet here. Very attentive for our dog and they respond quickly.

Great team, warm and inviting. Lovely, quaint neighborhood. I was visiting on behalf of Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice and impressed.

As always, Dr. Cates was knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate. You can tell he and his wonderful staff really love pets and are always willing to go above and beyond in making the best possible experience for our pets and their parents. Thank you!

I've used this vet since 1993. Never had an issue. Dr Hammond has taken care of our pets for decades and now the lady vet (I can never remember her name, i am so, so sorry - terrible with names) has done an even more amazing job for us . She's kind, fast and above all else treats our animals with respect. The entire staff there is amazing. Especially the girl who does training at Para - she is the only one who can calm down my Rottweiler puppy, razor. Make them your vet. You won't regret it.

The staff is friendly and considerate. They have gotten very busy so routine visits are scheduled almost 6 weeks out.

Dr. Cates and staff are amazing. Dr. Cates is the only veterinarian that successfully helped me manage my dog’s skin allergies and now all of my dogs going forward come to see him. The staff treats you as part of the family. Highly recommended!

I do not recommend this business to anyone. They lie about their price estimates. I'll go elsewhere.

They take excellent care of my cat Jaxx, the cat however only gives 1 star.

I've been taking my cat here since I moved here 6 years ago. They're the best vet I've ever been to. Communicative, fairly priced and they're very knowledgeable. I had to take my cat to another emergency vet a few times because Alberta was booked up. I spent thousands of dollars and still did not get a solution to my kitties ailment. Alberta doctor suggested a skin biopsy at a fraction of the price and he found out that it is most likely a rare skin disease and eliminated many other issues. They even send cute little cards for both of my cats. They're the only vet I trust.

I've always been happy bringing my dogs here. And, bonus, they have an excellent Covid-19 routine. Very low contact

I take my two kittens here. It is affordable and easy to book an appointment. They are very kind and understanding.

Such a wonderful staff who pay attention to details, help explain difficult problems/process, symptoms etc and has taken great care of our two dogs. They have also done super well through all of COVID and never skipped a beat with our care plan. Highly recommend.

Alberta Vet Care has been wonderful to me and my pup! They're always very friendly and helpful. They clearly make an effort to do their job well and are very considerate and friendly. They've taken great care of me during appointments, over the phone, and through e-mail. I'm very glad I found them and moved my business away from VCA. Alberta Vet Care is definitely a top notch place.

I recently moved and needed to find a local vet for my dogs so I called this office to see how the customer service was . Annie answered the phone and I asked a question reguarding ultrasounds just to kind of get a feel for this place and she was not friendly at all. I feel if she new I was asking questions to get a feel for the way she really is when she didn’t think I was calling about being a client then I would get a great feel for how she behaves when she is being herself n this is very important to me considering I speak to the reception people so much about medication refills appt and ect... so this is important . Hopefully she will see this and next time someone calls with any questions you will be nice and not so rude . Thank you

I have been brining my dog, Indigo, to Alberta Veterinary Care for over 2 years now. I am very happy with the care provided at this clinic. The staff are always friendly and responsive, they are thorough, and most importantly they are great with my doggo. The prices are also reasonable, and scheduling appointments is a relatively easy process. I highly recommend this clinic!

Great veterinary care. Dr. Cates is the best and the staff are great.

True animal lovers. They have walked us through many medical challenges with our dogs and help us truly understand our options. Came recommended to us and we recommend them to anyone with pets.

Great customer service and super animal caring staff from front desk to vets!

My pets have all been seen by Dr. Laura Kimmel. I actually followed her to Alberta Vet from another clinic. She's that great.

Super friendly folks that work here!

Great staff, affordable, and transparent. My dog felt very safe and calm compared to other vet experiences.

Always there when I need them, keep going back even though we’re in a different part of the city now. Straightforward and friendly staff. Reasonably priced for the level of care delivered.

I have been going here for 3 years and really appreciate the way they have treated my cat and dog. Dr. Martín is awesome.

Dr. Cates and staff are the best!!! Dr. Cates is brilliant, professional and incredibly compassionate. I have followed him since his first day of practice and can't imagine entrusting any other veterinarian with the care of my precious pets. He is THE BEST!!!

Professional and great service. Fair prices for services.

The owner is not an honest person. We received a price range for a specific procedure including pre-procedure appointment and anything after. They charged us the very top price in this range (obviously no explanation to it was given) and decided to charge an extra afterwards just because the greedy owner felt like it. When I pointed out that we already paid what was agreed at the beginning he transferred the charge to collection. Currently law case is pending to dispute the charge. I'll never set foot into this clinic again, there money is the first and well-being of your pet is the last.

My Maine coon loves it here
