Alta Mira Animal Hospital

We have a Veterinarian clinic we can honestly call our new home for all of BiBis care. The clinic is beyond clean, and my husband mention how it has a small hometown feel to it, which is a huge compliment from him. Hands down, this Is the best vetererian clinic/ hospital we ever encountered. I wish I would have known about them when our Belgian Milinois Chance was with us. Dr. Dodd is simply the most pleasant , caring, and knowledgeable Veterinarian we ever known , as well as her staff from Liz being very helpful making appointments, and when we were running late for our first appointment with traffic from Pendleton she was understanding and kind, and Rhonda was complete joy, kept us smiling, and James the tech, amazing energy, and kind , explained and gave great tips for BiBi. Back to Dr. Dodd, BiBi warm up to Dr.Dodd instantly , BiBi was a homesick little pup, we only had a day , she traveled all the way from Missouri and needed a follow up to make sure she arrived healthy, BiBi felt so calm and went straight To Dr. Dodd with tons of kisses. Dr. Dodd is the best Vet my family can ever ask for. We look forward to seeing Alta Mira and all the beautiful people there for BiBi follow up appointment soon. Not to mention the free toy, which BiBi loves.Thank you Alta Mira, you are truly a Blessing ❤️.

This veterinarian practice really cares about the animals. They took such great care of my Teddy when he was alive, I am so grateful for them. Dr. Dodd is absolutely amazing. She’s a sweetheart she has the best bedside manner and really does care about the dogs and cats. The animals I highly recommend them.

What an amazing place! I was so nervous to take my sweet little Foster dog for his check up at a place that was new to us but from the moment I walked in the door it was such a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. First of all instead of the sterile environment of most chaotic Veterinary places, it was so quiet and peaceful and very tasteful Antiques and vintage photos of dogs and cats. We were taken right in and greeted with such kindness. Never before has my sweet elderly dog been happy to be at a vet. He usually tries to hide under my feet or Escape if possible. But as you can see from the photo here he actually just fell asleep on the table because they were so peaceful and gentle! I could not recommend them enough!

I have only had great experiences at Alta Mira. I’ve been in twice on urgent matters for my dog, Oliver, and they were able to get me in same day. The first visit was swelling in his face due to an abscess tooth (which turned out to be a few teeth), that required a separate surgery day for removal of 10 teeth. He still has 40, and has since increased his appetite and ability to chew. That’s a win for me. The second was today for a heart attack and labored breathing. He’s even gained a few ounces since the teeth removal! He was treated today with heart medication and will be monitored for the next couple days to determine responsiveness. Both times, I was provided options by Dr. Dodd and James, and given info on what to expect in the future. They are empathetic and give context around the approach they’re taking. That’s all I can ask for in a vet team. I feel confident that if something changes, they will work together with me to take next steps. The entire staff is kind and interested in my dog’s well-being. Obviously there is always costs associated with exams and treatments, and I’ve never walked out feeling the cost outweighed the value of care.

The staff and the doctor are awesome. From Liz, Rhonda and James plus a few others took real good care of our babies. Dr. Dood is an excellent vet and has a great passion for what she does. Highly recommend to anyone.
