Services
Spay and Neuter
Our spay and neuter services help prevent pet overpopulation while improving animal health. These surgical procedures eliminate reproductive cancers and reduce behavioral issues. Our team provides pre-operative assessments, pain management, and post-operative care to ensure safe recovery for pets aged six months and older.
Dental Care
We offer comprehensive dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Using ultrasonic scaling and digital imaging, our technicians address oral health issues that can impact overall wellness. Regular dental maintenance helps prevent systemic infections and extends pets' lifespans by 2-4 years.

Our surgical suite handles procedures like mass removals, biopsies, and foreign body extractions. Patients receive continuous monitoring under anesthesia and post-operative pain management. We perform both elective and emergency soft tissue surgeries with strict safety protocols for optimal recovery outcomes.
Behavioral Consultations
Certified behavior specialists address obedience issues and anxiety-related problems through personalized training plans. Our Fear Free certified technician employs low-stress handling techniques to improve veterinary visit experiences and resolve common behavioral challenges in companion animals.

This Vet clinic is top notch! My wife and I were looking at different clinics near us and glad we booked with Forest Grove Clinic. Dealing with the staff is very friendly and helpful when booking our appointment. Very respectful and did not make us feel bad for rearranging appointment times. We dealt with Dr. Leah Frei. She absolutely amazing and super helpful with any questions we had. Her expertise really shows when dealing with our pup Quavo! He felt super comfortable and according to the doctor, did great on his first visit. We did a wellness check and got some vaccines and it was smooth.

Booked my 13 week pup for his 2nd set of shots. My puppy was able to get his shots with ease. I had a TON of questions (as most new puppy owners do) and Lynnsey (animal behaviour specialist) went absolutely above and beyond to answer them all in the detail I needed. The knowledge I learnt is invaluable and has helped smooth over the worries I had as a new puppy owner with my partner. I am extremely grateful!

I was really impressed with the service of this clinic! This is not my typical vet clinic, but they were willing to squeeze me in late in the evening and see my cat, who suddenly wasnt bearing weight on his back leg. Despite being squeezed in, the veterinarian I saw, Dr. Hay, took her time with me and my cat, and did a really thorough examination and found a break in his foot via x-ray. She spent time with me after to discuss the injury and treatment, and was again really thorough and ensured all of my questions and concerns were answered! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and

Brought my 3 month old border collie in for vaccinations and a checkup. The vet discussed vaccinations he needs and doesn't need based on where my dog would be going and what risks he would be exposed to. He had one chipped tooth that looked like it needed to be removed but they said it wasn't causing pain and would fall out within a month. They also sent tons of helpful information home with me, as well as a free chew toy. My dog left happier than he went in. Great place.

I Highly recommend this place! Dr Frei is awesome, and my dog really likes her. They provide fantastic care, are very calm and spend the time chatting with you to really explain and make you feel as comfortable as your pet does. Prices are very reasonable and fair. I have a 14 year old dog and this is one of the best vets Ive ever taken her to!

Felt very taken advantage of. A easy puppy checkup turned into a $300 visit because he needed a medication for a fungal infection in his ear (that didn’t do anything ended up going to a better vet) and vet “ insisted “ she saw 1 egg in his ear and needed to get their deworming treatment even though he had already received some the previous week,… and felt very much like they were doing as much as they could to rack the bill up before I left. Will never go back there, and found a much better vet who doesn’t pray on people’s love for their animals to pay their
