503-648-1643 "Caring for your pets and family as our own" Since 1947 At Frontier, we care for pets and the people who love them. We take our mission of “Caring for your pets and family as our own” seriously. Frontier has been local, family-owned and operated since 1947, and whether fundraising for our neighborhood animal shelter or caring for your 2- and 4legged family, we are dedicated to both our community and to the individual pets and people we serve. When your puppy is excited for his first vet visit or when your cat isn’t feeling well and needs urgent care, Frontier is here for you 7 days a week, including convenient weekday evening hours. We provide preventive care, urgent and emergency services, surgery, radiology, acupuncture, coordinate specialty care and more, with healthcare tailored to your dogs, cats, and birds. Our individualized approach to medicine means we understand that no two pets are the same, and we take the time to appreciate your pet’s unique personality, breed and daily life.

This winter has been challenging for many, and certainly for our local businesses. Demonstrations and crazy winter conditions caused expensive closures, and in some cases, costly damage. It’s more important than ever now to support our local businesses. They are the heart, soul and backbone of our community, and they are devoted to us — their customers — working tirelessly to maintain the highest levels of knowledge, expertise, and customer care. Please love them back! Speaking of love . . . In these changing times, let’s let love be the fuel, the engine and the heart of all we do, for the animals, and for each other.
