Cleaning and extractions were suggested when/if we wanted Mig to have it, no pressure, just suggested. Mig has unluckily had bad teeth his whole life and we finally decided that he needed dental work done. My latest visit is a good example of how things run at Parkdale. It has a comfortable feel and the service is really all I care about. It’s not the most flashy veterinary office in Roncie Village but what does that really matter. The place is clean and doesn’t have that smell that many shelters and vet clinics have. Experienced and versed front line staff, talented and kind vet techs, compassionate and skilled doctors. I’ve been privy to the best, the worst and tons of «middle of the road» health care experiences and I can honestly say Parkdale is well-above average on all fronts. I work in «human» health care and have volunteered at various animal shelters thru the years and have seen many well run and poorly run operations. I got to see behind the scenes how much they cared about this little fella. I was a worried momma and they suggested I could come and visit my kitten each day of his hospitalization. However, the thing that stands out in my mind today from that first visit is how compassionate all the staff were. Mig was hospitalized, treated and got thru the whole episode with no serious consequences. What to do? I called Parkdale and got excellent phone advice from Elaine and a speedy appointment for my very sick kitten. Acute bloody diarrhea and vomiting ensued and me with my old vet having just moved out of Toronto. I found Parkdale when my new kitten Mig got into trouble eating an orchid, a very toxic plant to cats I’ve since learned. Right from the front desk staff (Elaine is awesome!), thru the vet techs, and to the doctors, all are professional, caring and very knowledgable. A fully equipped treatment area, recovery, two oxygen cages, and two isolation areas, for animals requiring special attention or observation.My cats Mig and Allie have been patients at Parkdale for 7 years or so now and I’m very pleased with the service Dr.A treatment room and raised command center allowing 360 degree viewing of all patients.Digital radiology area allowing near instantaneous x-rays and transmission of films to all terminals and consulting specialists.Dedicated surgery, dental and special procedures areas, each filled with the finest equipment for specialty care.A comfort room for end of life discussions and consultations.12 exam rooms so we are able to schedule and maintain timely appointments.A spacious and comfortable reception and waiting area, with separate cat and dog lobbies and exam rooms, which reduces stress for your animal and allows for easy check in and check out.From preventative care to urgent care, we have the equipment, facilities and skills to help your animal in time of need. Our 9,000 square foot hospital was designed with your animal’s health and well-being in the forefront. With our full-service veterinary hospital, and caring and knowledgeable staff, we provide top-level medical care for your beloved cat, dog, rabbit, pocket pet, or exotic animal. Their simple needs of love, food, water, shelter and quality veterinary care are all they require for long, happy lives. Animals bring us great happiness while asking very little of us in return. We understand that animal companions can represent some of the most important relationships in a person’s life. We believe the bond between people and their companion animals provides joy, enrichment, balance and health benefits to both, and the relationship deserves the highest level of respect and compassion. At the Parkway Veterinary Hospital (now part of the Animal Care Group of Lake Oswego), we are committed to supporting the human-animal bond, and have been a strong advocate since our inception of 1986.
