Dr. Portugal and the staff at Critter Care take such great care of my two dogs. My senior dog, Kimo, is recovering well after having a surgical procedure a few days ago. I can tell he feels so much better already. Thank you, Dr. Portugal.

Office visit with Timmy, our cat. As always, Dr. Lorie is thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate with all of the pets. She called me Friday night to see how Timmy was feeling and to give me the results from his labs.

Critter Care helped our beloved 17 year old cat pass, and they couldn’t have been more kind. The vet he went to wasn’t open, and he was struggling. They kindly set us up in a comfy space to say goodbye. Then provided us with a beautiful paw print keepsake and a lock of fur. Thank you to all for your sincere kindness. Certainly will consider coming to Critter Care with any new pets we may adopt in the future. Thank you again for helping us.

Dr. Portugal and staff are so wonderful. I wasn’t feeling well when I brought Owen in for his first check up. Ended up getting sick. They were so kind and accommodating. Owen did really well for his first visit ☺️

Bridget O.

The awesome doctors at Critter Care removed a 4+ pound tumor from my dogs (Little Duck) spleen. She is recovering nicely at home. I can’t say how awesome these docs, led by Dr Portugal, are. It’s truly a miracle.
