Dr. Dahlquist and his team never fail to make my dogs not only healthier, but feel loved. I've entrusted my sweet, hairy beasts to his care for many years. He has empathy that trickles down to every single member of his staff; you can tell they love your pets like their own.

I’ve taken my kitties to Dr. Dahlquist for several years, since well before Covid, because I used to live in the nearby apartments. Dr. D is a little strange, but in a good way. After a hectic ordeal involving my kitty being hurt, I was super stressed out and anxious, he called for a follow up to my appointment and said to tell my cat Freyja he says, “(insert meows)”. I was cracking up so much. He handles the fur babies easily and with respect, he takes great care of them. He even lets them smell the swabs and interacts with them while doing their exams and vaccines. He’s very informative, I typically ask a ton of questions and I never feel rushed or like he’s annoyed with all the questions. I’ve even called after with more questions and they’ve always been very helpful. The staff has always been wonderful to me. I have severe anxiety so my cats are emotional support animals, Dr. D and the staff have always been very kind and supportive when I’ve been worried about my kitties. I’ve called the office staff crying and they were so compassionate and caring. They are always clear with an up front cost estimate and charge average prices for services. I’ve never had them upsell or try to charge extra, they don’t create a sense of urgency just to get me to spend more money with them like other places do. We had to try different meds to get my kitty well and they didn’t force me to do a new exam every time like other vets do. I have since moved twice and even though it now means a 30min car ride, I won’t take my fur babies anywhere else. My only issue is that I do prefer Dr. D and I wasn’t informed until the day of that the other vet there would be doing the exams at my most recent visit. She’s great as well, but I do prefer Dr. D.

MOST AFFORDABLE vet clinic in Portland! 💯 Trust me, I spent 4 hours on research and called 8 places and looked at 12 animal hospitals/clinics in the city (from large hospitals with multiple locations to small clinics to specialty holistic places). My 3 year old pup was due for vaccines and annual wellness exam. I got quotes from other places ranging $250-600 - insanity! Gateways’s rates (quoted by Alyssa on the phone who took the time to answer all my questions) were almost too good to be true after all the other quotes. But the reviews were also better than most other animal hospitals. So we scheduled (for 2 days later, no wait either) and went! Just finished our exam with Dr. Dahlquist and assistant Lynn, who took the best care of us. Dr. Dahlquist was hilarious, gentle, caring and really good with keeping my anxious pup calm. This was the first time getting shots and drawing blood was no big deal - Milo didn’t even wince. The whole exam took about 30 minutes. No one rushed us. The whole staff was friendly. The hospital was clean. Our questions were answered. We even got free treats and goodies to go. SWEET DEAL! Our entire bill was just over $100 for everything including vaccines. So happy we found this place! We are now big fans of Gateway Veterinary Hospital and will be recommending it to all others.
