I am beyond grateful for the care and coordination at DoveLewis. I especially appreciated their calm and consistent communication. I felt confident that my cat was cared for and safe. They run an amazingly smooth operation! Thank You for taking such good care of Strong Fox! 😻

My sweet, perfect boy (Poe) came in Saturday night in extremely rough shape. Cost was a factor for me. The doctors and team did everything they could to keep cost down while making sure my boy was safe and cared for. He has since recovered and has the all-clear from our regular veterinarian. I just lost my other dog of 13 years 2 weeks ago, so I am forever grateful to the DLEAH team for saving my perfect man.

I've been taking my dog to DoveLewis' Specialty Department for the better part of two years now. Before, we were on a never ending cycle of sickness and flair ups followed by brief intermissions with other specialty hospitals. When I went to DoveLewis I found that the internal medicine staff was very attentive and actually takes the time to listen. For the passed two years of treatment, we've enjoyed longer bouts of wellness than before. I'm forever grateful for them and everything they have done for my dog. Thank you.

We had our first cardiologist appointment for our little cat at Dove Lewis and they exceeded our expectations. I was nervous about the noise because it is an emergency clinic, but the cardiology department is on a separate floor. Their waiting area was very quiet and calm. The front staff were awesome, they all seemed to be in a good mood. The assistant was attentive and made me feel at ease when she took our girl for her exam. Dr.Reynolds is amazing. She is knowledgeable, personable, and I felt like she really understood my concerns.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My friends 7 month old boxer ate some scrambled eggs with ONIONS in them. What might this do? He is about 35 pounds

Ruth Turner | Aug 17, 2019
Skye Hook | Aug 16, 2020

Good advice from ahe other 2, but I want to add a bit. At 35 pounds that dog is probably fine with the onions, as long as it doesn't happen again. Their kidneys don't have an easy time with onions, but maybe mom-in-law used to feed her 15 pound Pomeranian onions, not knowing it was toxic to dogs. I assume dog felt sick later, but never enough for them to notice. So don't panic, but then again, different dogs react differently, so... Yes, vet. Just in case.

6 year old tortie cat with constant diarrhea and seems in pain. Had blood tests and test for pancreititus but negative. Do you accept animals to put down? We are both suffering.

Sandra Peterson | Jan 18, 2022
Courtney Olson | Jan 18, 2022

Your cat will probably need an exam by a doctor and do a quality of life check. If they feel it is appropriate and are comfortable then yes they will proceed with euthanasia.

Hello, I am in Portland for two months for work and have not had any luck finding a vet for my chihuahua. My pup is lethargic, trembling, and not eating his normal intake of food. Also, constipated. Do you have availability to bring him in?

Valerie Trevino | Aug 16, 2021
Courtney Olson | Aug 16, 2021

Dove Lewis is an er so they are not based by appointments. It does sound like your baby needs to be seen. They are more than happy to have you come in for them to take initial vitals to try to access how urgently he needs to be seen. Be prepared for long waits for triage and to be evaluated by a doctor. The waits for a doctor to evaluate are anywhere for right away to 12-24 hours. To even days too be seen. This is all dependent on the triage evaluation and how critical you pet seems. They are very busy so they kindly ask for patience.

If you bring in a wild animal, Any chance you ever see it again?

Jolene Vance | Aug 16, 2021
kevin mieras | Aug 16, 2021

I doubt Dove Lewis would admit a wild animal. Call them to be sure but I think their services are limited to companion animals. They also don't do wellness care, such as spay/neuter surgery.

Will you take wild animals in so they can be transported to a wildlife rehab center? I have a baby squirrel that I rescued from a tree being cut down and I don't know what to do with him.

Junkeii_ | Aug 16, 2021
Anastasia Adriano | Aug 16, 2021

I would call them. They'll be able to give you the best information about what to do.

I have a stray cat that I have been feeding for the past few months and it looks like he has been in a fight and has an injured foot. Not sure if it is broken. I don't have the means to pay for vet help. Was told that you can help.Suggestions?

Wishpets LLC | Aug 16, 2020
Katy Collins-Ruebling | Aug 16, 2020

DoveLewis has a donor supported fund that can pay for stray animal care. Once the cat recovers it will go to a county agency to hopefully find a forever home!

So I accidentally put the cat only flea medicine on my Chihuahua. The next day when I realized I took a hot wash cloth and wiped it off well that area i put it on I wiped off. So my question is can I go ahead and put the right kind on her now?

Danielle Young | Aug 17, 2019
Ronda Rice | Aug 17, 2019

I don't know. Contact manufacturer and also call Dove Lewis and ask them. But the manufacturer should be able to answer your question.

Can you make payments?

kristina chalk | Aug 17, 2019
Ronda Rice | Aug 17, 2019

I agree, call them and ask. They probably take CareCredit. It's a credit card for human dental, vets, and I think human medical. They have programs that if you pay it off in a certain amount of time like 12 months it is intrest free.

I have a 10 year old neutered male Chihuahua who was just diagnosed with a Perineal Hernia. Our vet recommended against surgery, as re-occurance rates are high. Do you agree that we would be better off trying to enjoy the time we have with him?

Tina Boggs | Aug 17, 2019
Mariam Shakarisaz | Aug 17, 2019

Highly doubt that would answer this question online without seeing the animal. Take him in for a second opinion.

Joel Stevenson | Aug 17, 2019

I am not a vet but any changes in urinary issues and increased thirst, I would bring your dog in. They will likely need to check blood or do ultra sound. Besr of luck β™₯️

Our cat ate some thin flimsy plastic rings (maybe 4 of them) that went around some braunschweiger. do I need to bring him in? or will he just poop them out?

lestatdelc | Aug 17, 2019
Whitney W | Aug 17, 2019

I just Googled that if they get lodged they might cause issues within the intestines. One person recommends an immediate ER trip and another recommended 24 hour watch for passing of the rings and take the cat in if any changes like vomiting, diarrhea or lethargy are happening. I'm not at vet so I would maybe call Dove to see what they recommend ❀️

Deanne Lewis | Aug 17, 2019
Whitney W | Aug 17, 2019

Take her in asap. DoveLewis also works with care credit to establish instant credit if needed. Wishing you and your chug the best. I'm not a vet but anytime blood is involved and you are alarmed, it's better to be safe than sorry xoxo Dove took great care of our cat that passed away in Jan.

Annie Cottrell | Aug 17, 2018

If you suspect your dog has been poisoned you should take your dog into Dove Lewis immediately. They are the best.

I have a 7yr old yorkie who has had a fever of 103.4' for a few days 😒 Will Dove Lewis consider that an emergency & see him without charging big $ ? I dont have insurance.

Emily Charmley | Aug 17, 2018
Kelsea Mcbee | Aug 17, 2018

Unfortunately they do collect up front and are more spendy than a typical vet. Have you applied for care credit? Apply for vet help on the care credit website and they take that. With that you can do monthly payments. It's like a credit card so there will be a max. Also if he has had the fever for a few days can he wait to see his typical vet?

I have a 4 lb Chihuahua who has an abscess tooth and on a fixed income need to take him some where to get it fixed. What is the charge for this? Can I get help for him, his name is Radar and he is my companion.

Terry Janes | Aug 17, 2018
Tamara Scott | Aug 17, 2018

Vista Vet in Beaverton or Orchards Vet in Vancouver are the least expensive and most caring (for the money) of all vets. If you have an emergency, you can also go to Dove Lewis (they are great!) and sign up for Care Credit. That helps you pay any medical bill, whether animal or people. If it is not an emergency, the wait may be long, but if you are concerned, call one of the above mentioned. Neither place is a mass-produced big business. They are LOCAL vets who care.
