Overview
Paws & Claws Pet Medical Center proudly serves Troutdale, OR, and the surrounding areas. We are dedicated to providing quality veterinary care with friendly and compassionate service
After graduating from the University of California at Davis in 1983 Dr. Ken DeRemer moved to the Portland area where he dreamed of establishing a veterinary hospital to treat a variety of pets with professional and compassionate care. While working to build our facility he started a house-call practice where he first began meeting our human and animal neighbors in Troutdale and Gresham. Paws & Claws Pet Medical Center officially opened in 1994 and has been working ever since to provide quality healthcare for all pets
