What we do
Everything under one warm roof
From the first puppy shot to the quiet years, we look after the whole life — not just the visit in front of us.
Vaccinations
Core and lifestyle vaccines timed to how your pet actually lives. Hiking dog and windowsill cat don't need the same schedule.
From $32 per shotDental care
Full-mouth dental X-rays, scaling and extractions under monitored anaesthesia. Most bad breath is a fixable problem.
From $395Surgery
Spays, neuters, mass removals and soft-tissue work. Dedicated anaesthesia nurse on every procedure, no exceptions.
From $290Grooming & nails
Baths, de-shedding, sanitary trims and the nail clip nobody at home wants to attempt. Anxious pets get a quiet room.
From $55Microchip & travel
Chipping, registration and USDA-endorsed health certificates for flying, moving or crossing a border with a nervous cat.
From $45
Meet the humans
Three vets, one very full waiting room
We keep the team small on purpose. You'll see the same face at the follow-up as you did at the first appointment.
Dr. Marisol Vance
Founder · DVM, Oregon State
Started Paws & Pines after fourteen years in emergency medicine, mostly because she wanted appointments to last longer than nine minutes.
Dr. Andre Bissett
Surgery lead · DVM
Does most of our soft-tissue and dental work. Talks pet parents through every X-ray on the screen before anything is scheduled.
Dr. Priya Raman
Feline lead · DVM, Cat-Friendly Cert.
Runs our cats-only mornings — separate entrance, pheromone diffusers, no barking within earshot. Cats notice. So do their people.
Tuesday & Thursday, before 11 am
Cats-only mornings, no barking
Half of what terrifies a cat at the vet happens in the waiting room. So twice a week we simply remove the dogs.
Why pet parents stay
Calm pets, honest bills
The two things people tell us they were missing at their last clinic. So we built the practice around them.
- Written estimates before we touch anything — no surprise line items.
- Cats-only mornings, dogs-only afternoons. Nobody meets in the lobby.
- Your vet calls you personally with results, not a front-desk voicemail.
- Payment plans through CareCredit and Scratchpay, applied in the room.

“Mochi used to scream in the carrier from the driveway. Dr. Raman does cats-only mornings and he now walks in on his own. I didn't think that was a thing that could happen.”

“Dr. Bissett found a mass on Rudy's spleen, showed me the ultrasound on the screen, gave me the estimate in writing, and operated on Thursday. Rudy is currently asleep on my feet.”

“We moved here from Portland with two elderly cats and one very anxious terrier. Paws & Pines took all three in the same week and remembered every name at the follow-up.”

Urgent care
Something's wrong right now?
Call before you drive. We hold two triage slots every afternoon, and if you're better off at the 24-hour hospital in Redmond we'll tell you straight away — and call ahead for you.
(541) 555-0142What does "fear-free certified" actually mean?
Every member of our clinical team is trained and certified in low-stress handling. In practice: non-slip mats on every table, treats before restraint, pheromone diffusers in each room, and permission to stop and reschedule if your pet has had enough. We would rather see you twice than terrify them once.
Are you taking new patients?
Yes — for dogs, cats, and rabbits. We usually have same-week wellness appointments and can see urgent cases the same day. Exotics and birds we'll happily refer to High Desert Avian, two blocks over.
How much will this cost?
You get a written estimate before anything begins, and we call you if the plan changes mid-visit. Wellness exams start at $75, dentals at $395, spays and neuters at $290. We take CareCredit and Scratchpay, and we'll set it up with you in the exam room.
My cat completely melts down at the vet. What then?
Book a Tuesday or Thursday morning — those are cats-only, no dogs on the premises, separate entrance. If that's still too much, we'll send home a light pre-visit sedative to give an hour before you leave. Most cats who "can't be handled" turn out to be handleable in the right room.
Do you handle emergencies after hours?
We have an on-call vet for our registered patients evenings and Sundays — call the clinic line and you'll be routed. For anything requiring overnight hospitalisation we work directly with the 24-hour hospital in Redmond and will call ahead so they're expecting you.
Can I stay in the room during the exam?
Please do. Most pets are calmer with you there, and you'll catch the things we'd otherwise have to ask about. The only exceptions are radiographs and surgery, for safety reasons — and we'll bring the images out to you afterwards.
