Banfield of Irvington has been my go-to vet since I moved to Portland with my cat over 3 years ago. The staff here are some of the most kind and helpful crew I've encountered while caring for my pets. The Front Desk staff and Doctors alike are eager to answer any questions and give your animal the best care possible. The vet techs are also understanding of budgets- at times I've expressed concern about affording certain medications/supplements, and they do their best to inform me of any affordable alternatives. When my cat and I moved into a new home with other cats, I stopped into Banfield to ask for advice to help them adjust. Right then and there we made a multi-step, month-long gameplan to safely introduce the cats. Their team is so knowledgeable and welcoming. Whenever we come in, my cat and I are immediately recognized and greeted with smiles. He's a little superstar there and I'm so grateful to the ladies at Irvington Banfield for their enthusiasm and dedication to their work. Gazpacho says thank you!

It’s a bit unnerving and concerning that the Irvington clinic on 21st can’t secure a doctor for every day of the week.

Staff took the time to patiently walk us through a reasonable course of action and which care plan made the most sense for our senior dog.

The vet was sweet and kind. They managed to give my puppy shots and dewormer without him even knowing it happened!
