Growing up my parents have always used Albany Animal Hospital for the pets we had growing up. When my husband and I got our dog almost 6 years ago. I knew exactly where to take him. They have always had the greatest customer service. They treat your animals like they are their family.

I have 11 animals. Yes, ELEVEN! Lol :) 4 dogs, 7 cats. We have been going to Albany Animal Hospital for past 7 years. I live 40 minutes away. Though it's not really far. It's a bit w/gas prices. Point being, I will make the drive. I love Dr. Glaze & Dr. Spangler! My pets & I, have always been treated with respect, care, compassion & kindness. They do not try to up-sell or push unnecessary products/procedures.
They take time to give pros/cons to different options. They've always explained things & taken their time to answer questions. Dr. Glaze saved our cat, Red! He took time to call us, personally, to give updates on his condition. He checked in on Red & called us on his day off. Dr. Glaze also saved my dog, Nora. So, he will always be in my heart! Dr. Spangler is so kind & easy to talk to, professional & is great w/my cats! Dr. Spangler also takes time to answer questions & explain things. Doesn't make me feel I'm being rushed. Thank you for always working to give best treatment/services to myself & my fur babies! :)

It was the Best! Had to bring my dog in late and they accommodated me very nicely! All the employees and Doctor so friendly made my dog as well as myself very comfortable. Very reasonable on price for a late appointment and the service they gave! I'm hooked for sure.

I had my first appointment with the staff and Dr. Fletcher for a snake. As one of those hypochondriac pet owners who is super picky about how a clinic makes me and my pet feel, I would absolutely recommend this clinic. Every staff member I came in contact with was personable and genuine. Dr. Fletcher answered and talked through all my concerns in a way that I left confident in moving forward with care and knowing I have back up when needed. Keep on keeping on with what you guys are doing, because you're doing it well!

We cannot thank Albany Animal Hospital and specifically Dr. Fletcher enough for his kindness and compassion. Our sweet pup had two gashes in her side and after being turned away from every emergency vet from Eugene to Tualatin for staples/sutures we decided to leave a message with our vet, Dr. Fletcher, who promptly called us and told us to meet him at the clinic. When we arrived, him and his wonderful 3rd year vet student were able to clean and staple our little girl up in a matter of minutes and send us on our way with the peace of mind that she was well cared for. If you want a veterinarian that truly cares about the well being of your furry family member, Dr. Fletcher and the others at Albany Animal Hospital should be your first choice.
