Abel Pet Clinic Inc.
Elk Grove, California
General Info
Since 1997, Abel Pet Clinic has been serving the people and pets of Elk Grove, Sacramento and surrounding areas. Dr. Byam started her own practice because she wanted to create the kind of small animal private practice that is different from the bigger hospitals, one where you feel valued, one where you will see the same doctor who will know you and your family, and not just a steady stream of strangers. We are a family here, and we care for your pets like YOU do.
In addition to offering cutting edge diagnostics and treatments, we also will work with your family and your budget to find the best solution that works for you and your family.
We have been established in Laguna West before Elk Grove was even incorporated as a city, and have solid roots here. Dr Byam is a member of the Laguna Sunrise Rotary Club, and gives back to the local community and the world, wherever there is the greatest need.
She also volunteers for local animal rescue groups and at Best Friends Animal Society, and offers free exams for pets adopted from the shelter. She also is working very hard at establishing a local animal shelter in Elk Grove. Dr Rabinowitz also in her spare time works at animal shelters and has her own non-profit rescue group, providing veterinary services to some of the poorest residents in Sacramento.
We are here, we care, and we believe there is still a place among the bigger, more expensive corporate practices for a small private practice with a very big heart. Thank you for entrusting us with your pet's care! We are forever grateful for your ongoing support.

When our cat was loosing weight and vomiting, we brought her in to see Dr. Byam and Dr. Anderson. She later was diagnosed with a tumor in her intestines. Was referred out to a specials to deal with it (She still alive after surgery). But the care she received was exceptional, now we take both cats to Abel Pet Clinic.

Before receiving a bill for $400, I was told my dog was testing positive for a disease which she had been vaccinated against. I was also told she needed immediate attention or might not make it. Something told me this just was not correct. The next morning I took my dog to our old vet. 30 miles away to be told that the blood tests taken the day before looked incorrect and my dog did not have the dreaded disease. After a physical exam I was told she had swallowed a rock that was blocking her food and water intake. The problem was solved. I paid $400 for nothing. I am staying with my old vet, even though I have to drive to get there!

I am so pleased with all the personnel at Abel Pet Clinic. The care my kitties have received from them is vastly superior to any they received before, and I'm not exaggerating. It it would not for Dr. Kelly Byam, I would not have known one of my babies is terminally ill and needs immediate care, because he did not manifest any symptoms that I could see other than aggression. I am so grateful that I can see that he is treated now before his symptoms manifest themselves further. My kitties and I have lived in several states and seen several vets in the time they've shared my home and my bed, :), and I am so thankful this Thanksgiving that I have found a vet who prides herself on staying abreast of the latest developments in care and preventative medicine for both dogs and cats. I cannot recommend Abel Pet Clinic and Drs/ Byam and Anderson more highly. Thank you all so very much.

I took a kitten that I'd found while out jogging to see them to make sure she wasn't sick with anything, as she'd clearly been abandoned quite young. Usually, I'd go to a different (MUCH BETTER) vet, but they were booked up, and I wanted to have her tested before exposing her to my other cats.
The appointment itself was okay, although they're sending me spam after I checked the box on the intake form telling them not to. The real problem surfaced later when I realized that the kitten had ringworm.
The signs were there when we took her in, so I asked them to check for it. When they brought her back out and said she was healthy, I assumed that they'd checked everything, including that. Young kittens are really susceptible to ringworm, so I shouldn't even have had to point it out. I can assume that my usual vet, who's very diligent, will do his job, so I didn't think to triple check. This one? Not so much.
Now my whole household has it, and it's spread everywhere. We'll have to be treated, we'll have to get the cats treated, and we'll have to deep clean the house. In addition, I'll have to get all the tests the Abel clinic SAYS they did redone at my usual vet, because i don't trust any of the results now.
Stay away. Stay far, far away.

Besides the top notch care, prices are fair and Dr. Byam won't do a procedure unless she thinks it really necessary.
I am ALWAYS recommending Abel Pet Clinic. It is not in my neighborhood, but well worth the drive from East Sac knowing that i and my babies are in loving and good hands.

Dr. Byam and the entire Abel Team are absolutely amazing. We've been seeing them for many years now and every experience surpasses 5 star service. I must admit, I'm a difficult parent to deal with. I want only the best for my pet kids and I get it every time. Even when we just drop in with a rescue they do everything they can. We started with Abel with a pet who had been mis-diagnosed by another vet in Midtown Sac for over 2 years. Dr. Byam knew exactly what was wrong and our little son who'd been suffering for so long was cured within days. She even helped us through the tragedy of a fight with cancer for our oldest. I can't imagine having to go through that experience without her compassionate help. If you are looking for the best vet in California, look no further than Abel!

Don't go here! I have been a loyal customer of Dr. Byam for about five years. I have had my doubts with how honest they have been, but have chosen to think the best of people instead. My first doubts started when my pug had infections in his ear. I went to her and had paid $500+ to get medication and exams, only for it to not work. A year or so later he started peeing blood. I went to her again and paid $700+ to get every kind of test done only to find out that we needed more tests and that they had not found out anything to be able to diagnose him. There has been several more incidences but am afraid of loosing your attention by writing too much. My point is that for every health issue I have taken my dog in for, I have NEVER had any correct diagnosis that cured his issue. The straw that broke the camels back came when I asked to come in to get my dogs nails clipped. They said he would not be seen unless he had an exam. Being that he was healthy and that I didn't see how one pertained to the other, I said no thank you. I am sure there are good veterinarians out there that do care about their clients well being and are not money hungry, but I am unsure that I can say that this rings true about Abel Pet Clinic.

The principle of this clinic, Kelly Byam, could not be more professional or compassionate. She is a wealth of knowledge and prides herself in providing care and attention above and beyond the call of duty to her clients. She is well known for her support of rescue pets and has several of her own. Highly recommended!

All the people who work at Abel Pet Clinic, from Dr. Byam to ALL the staff, are wonderful, sweet, pet-loving human beings! Everyone cares and loves the animals as if they were the only patient. We are all treated with kindness and dignity. That's rare these days and it's very refreshing.
Besides the top notch care, prices are fair and Dr. Byam won't do a procedure unless she thinks it really necessary.
I am ALWAYS recommending Abel Pet Clinic. It is not in my neighborhood, but well worth the drive from East Sac knowing that i and my babies are in loving and good hands.
Thank you to everyone at Abel Pet Clinic! You ALL are awesome.

We have utilized Abel Pet Clinic ever since we moved to Elk Grove in 1998. We came clients because I am a UCDavis graduate and Dr. Bynam (also being a UCDavis graduate) offered a discount. That being said, we have not been disappointed in the service. Abel Pet Clinic personnel are compassionate and very knowledgeable. Abel Pet Clinic has taken very good care of all of my pets and I am very well pleased.

Dr. Byam and the entire Abel Team are absolutely amazing. We've been seeing them for many years now and every experience surpasses 5 star service. I must admit, I'm a difficult parent to deal with. I want only the best for my pet kids and I get it every time. Even when we just drop in with a rescue they do everything they can. We started with Abel with a pet who had been mis-diagnosed by another vet in Midtown Sac for over 2 years. Dr. Byam knew exactly what was wrong and our little son who'd been suffering for so long was cured within days. She even helped us through the tragedy of a fight with cancer for our oldest. I can't imagine having to go through that experience without her compassionate help. If you are looking for the best vet in California, look no further than Abel!

after I spent several thousand dollars on treatments for my Jack Russell terrier for a throat problem, including a couple of exploratory surgeries, I was in encouraged to check out ABEL pet clinic. Dr. Byam diagnosed the problem as simple gingivitis.teeth cleaning solved the problem.I trust Dr Byam with my Jack Russell and my cat, who tends to fight a lot.

We've been going to Dr. Byam and the team at Abel for years now, after having a nightmarish experience with another vet. Dr. Byam has saved our dogs lives and health more times than I can count, and found problems that other vets had repeatedly missed. We have been through everything from injuries to cancer, and I don't know how we could make it without knowing that we could trust them help us through the tough times with our four-legged kids.

I have been a client of Abel Pet Clinic since Dr. Byam took over the practice. Abel Pet Clinic has not only cared for my personal pets, but my many foster dogs through Pug Rescue of Sacramento, Pugsavers, and 4 R Friends. From adoption to the final appointment, Abel Pet Clinic has provided exceptional diagnostics, treatment, and general well-being to my animals. The entire staff has treated my pets with the love and care that they would provide their own personal animals. I am forever grateful to the compassion that I have experienced at Abel Pet Clinic for over a decade.

Don't go here! I have been a loyal customer of Dr. Byam for about five years. I have had my doubts with how honest they have been, but have chosen to think the best of people instead. My first doubts started when my pug had infections in his ear. I went to her and had paid $500+ to get medication and exams, only for it to not work. A year or so later he started peeing blood. I went to her again and paid $700+ to get every kind of test done only to find out that we needed more tests and that they had not found out anything to be able to diagnose him. There has been several more incidences but am afraid of loosing your attention by writing too much. My point is that for every health issue I have taken my dog in for, I have NEVER had any correct diagnosis that cured his issue. The straw that broke the camels back came when I asked to come in to get my dogs nails clipped. They said he would not be seen unless he had an exam. Being that he was healthy and that I didn't see how one pertained to the other, I said no thank you. I am sure there are good veterinarians out there that do care about their clients well being and are not money hungry, but I am unsure that I can say that this rings true about Abel Pet Clinic.
