Bridgetown Veterinary Emergency + Referral

Took my baby, Max, in today after he got into some chocolate. Every step of this process was handled with so much care and compassion from the team. I can tell that everyone who works here genuinely loves animals and wants to do the very best for their patients. They were able to care for my Max quickly and kept me updated on how he was doing the whole time I was there. I felt genuinely cared for and I know that my dog did too. Thank you so much for everything! This was an exemplary vet experience.

Our beloved cat Echo disappeared for two days and came back extremely lethargic and wasn’t eating. Even though this vet closed at midnight we were there until 4am trying to get bloodwork done. Kitty wasn’t having it. We were given sedative to give her and bring her back the next day. They admitted her, gave her fluids via IV and took excellent care of her. This was our first experience with an emergency vet. The staff was caring, compassionate, encouraged questions. FYI it is $33/ hour to keep your pet there which seems crazy expensive but they are very thorough and around the clock care. She is now home and has a ton of energy and is back to eating. Thank you Bridgetown.

I called this morning because I went to Dove Lewis in Portland due to my cat having a bladder blockage (Monday night). I went to Dove Lewis a second time (Wednesday) because Leo wasn't well and I wanted to euthenise him and Dove Lewis said no due to him being ok in their eyes. Well this morning when I called I explained this to Bridgetown especially since I saw more blood in his urine. Bridgetown was compassionate, caring and listened to me. My concern was that my baby wasn't getting better and I couldn't see him suffer any longer. When I arrived the receptionist which she was beyond friendly asked if this was for Leo and I said yes, immidietly she took me to a room. They never judged me or said no to my wishes, even though my heart was torn they helped me through the process explained everything to me and proceeded with the procedure. They were gracious enough to waive the euthanasia fee and only charged me for cremating my baby. I am beyond thankful I found them, I wish I would of gone here in the first place. Thank you for everything you did for me you dont know how much this means to me. The decision to part ways with my boy was the most difficult especially on Thanksgiving.

This place is so amazing! Everyone is so professional, kind, and knowledgeable. When Milo was taken back for evaluation, the tech kept me informed on how he was doing until we got into a room. I couldn’t be more impressed with how smooth the hospital appears to run. They treat your pets like family and I couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend! Thank you Bridgetown staff 🫶🏼

I cannot say enough good things about Bridgetown ER vet! My dog had surgery that is requiring weekly follow up appointments, so we are there a lot on an ongoing basis. Every single receptionist, vet tech, and doctor that I’ve spoken to on the phone or in person has been friendly, professional, helpful, and compassionate. If anyone is looking for an orthopedic surgeon for their dog, Dr. Jessica Dahlberg is absolutely fantastic in every way. She has gone above and beyond to support my dog during the recovery process, and takes the time every appointment to make sure I have the knowledge and resources to feel supported as well. 1000/10 stars for Dr. Dahlberg and her surgery staff!

Dr. Nathanson & the whole Bridgetown team are incredible. My cat is undergoing treatment for small cell lymphoma and the process has been scary and a little overwhelming, but I know she’s getting the best care from people who really care about her. Dr. Nathanson is so kind, knowledgeable, and responsive to my many, many questions. I can’t recommend her and the rest of the team enough!

We have a large yard with lots of fencing, and my street dog rescue from Mexico has fur made of paper. He has ripped open his side on wire fencing THREE TIMES in the last year. We were lucky enough to come to Bridgetown two of those three times and have had the best experience. We live at the Oregon Coast and the 90+ minute drive to ER vet care is extremely stressful, but it's worth it for us to come the extra 15 minutes to Bridgetown because of the exceptional care that our pets AND our humans receive. They are compassionate, efficient, professional, and (dare I say) affordable. I don't know what their recipe for magic is but I hope it never changes. Joey Ramone thanks you all!!
