Soooo PROUD of Sirius! This morning we went for his 1st vaccinations, since we adopted him 2 months ago. He can be shy, because he had such a hard start to life, so I was concerned how he would do with the exam, shots, and heartworm test. We even went for a visit last week just to meet everyone. Well Dr. VanTine is the best vet! At first Sirius was sure he wanted to leave, but he settled for her and she was able to do the full exam no problem. He even laid down on the floor while we talked after his exam. Then the techs came and drew blood and gave shots with no problem. This is a German Shepherd, who barely lets anyone but his family touch him. Love the staff and how they did everything to make him comfortable! Read Less

Besides few small nuances I think I can say that I like this place. The vet-doctor (Heidi) seemed knowledgeable and took time to talk to me and didn't seem rushed to leave as I've seen other veterinary businesses. The only thing I didn't like is we discussed one person to come help and instructions were supposed to be passed to her but that didn't happen and some other boy was sent who seemed clueless and didn't know the details we discussed so I had to ask for the proper person and make sure they knew what needed be done. But again I can understand the vet got busy or forgot to give instructions nobody is perfect. Overall happy with the place and even the receptionist seems fairly nice. The guy I spoke with about medicine and gal who applied it were nice and knowledgeable. Anyways so far very happy with the place. Keep up good work. Read Less

I've been bringing my dogs to Folsom Veterinary Hospital for about 30 years. The staff is wonderful, so caring, great treatment and I feel very comfortable bringing my best friends here for medical work. Read Less

Our veterinarian went above and beyond by calling us twice in 2 days to check on our dog after bringing him into the office for a heart condition. The fact that she took the time on a holiday weekend to call us meant a lot. A couple weeks ago we brought our sick elderly cat in to be put down. When I called to make the appointment, the receptionist did a good job explaining what to expect, and everything went as smooth as can be expected. Everyone from the front desk staff to the veterinarian doing the procedure was extremely sensitive to the situation. We even received a hand written card from the office sending their condolences. Thank you Folsom Veterinary Hospital! Read Less

Found out just a few days ago that our cat had an obstruction preventing him from peeing. Went to the emergency in Sacramento, wanted to charge us $2,600. We ended up getting him cleaned up temporarily to make it until we got him to the vet today. Thankfully we did, we now have our regular vet hospital and paid 1/4 of what we would have for emergency services. They definitely provide good care for the animals, and have a ton of information to provide if needed, and willing to answer any questions you may have. Love this place!! Thank you Dr. Heidi and staff! Read Less

I recently brought my Aussie to Folsom Vet Hospital. We found out she was really sick. Dr Van Tine was great at giving us all the options we had. Unfortunately after 2 weeks of medications and pain killers we decided to let our sweet Bella go. Dr Van Tine and all of the front office staff made this very difficult decision a little easier. They were all very caring and compassionate. Thank you so much for all that you did. Read Less

I used to take my dog to Banfield and was very disappointed with the service. I found Folsom Vet a few years ago and wished I had them years ago. The staff is wonderful and knowledgeable. My dog has had health issues in the past but the latest issue is where they really shined. My pet was bitten by a squirrel. They moved another appointment to perform surgery due to the seriousness of the issue. I was pleasantly surprised to find the bill was less than estimated due to the discounts and included services provided at no charge. I highly recommend them. Read Less

True professionals, My dog had an emergency issue related to his post-operation eye wound healing. The dog had staples holding his left eye eyelids together that was supposed to protect his eye from dryness and infection. This morning, I found my dog in agonizing pain, shaking his head, and trying to rub his healing eye against his e-collar. After closer inspection, I discovered that the upper part of the staple was no longer attached to the upper eye lead; instead, it was freely floating on the eye surface, causing pain and creating new wounds. Forgot to mention that the initial surgery and the staples were performed at another facility specialized in ophthalmology; and they were unable to see us right away this morning referring us to our regular veterinarian. I called to our Folsom Vet Clinic, explained our situation, and I was advised to get there ASAP. My dog was literally taken inside the time I rushed through the door whispering we are having an eye emergency appointment... Due to the coordinated care of the staff, my dog's eye was saved and we continue healing. Read Less

I have been taking my dogs and cats to FVH for years. Basic care (shots, check ups) is okay, anything beyond that is terrible. After last incident with my cat I finally said enough is enough, time to look for another vet. Their focus is not a health of your pet, it's how much they can get out of your wallet. Unnecessary expensive procedures would be suggested without any consideration of what really may be going on. Here's the last experience which did it. My indoor cat had some swelling on his eye - the first and only version of the vet was foxtail (how likely is that for an indoor cat?) They strongly advised to go in and look, didn't find anything (of course!), prescribed some expensive antibiotic and cortisone eye drops - ca-ching, ca-ching, ca-ching... Half an hour and hundreds of dollars later I brought the cat home, he was crying and screaming for hours as the anesthetic wore off, by evening his eye tripled in swelling and redness from all the "digging" the vet did. I finally wised up, read up on eye problems, got herbal eyewash kit ($11.03) and we, my cat and I, never looked back. Make a book "The nature of animal healing" by Martin Goldstein, DVM, your desk bible before your visit to any vet. Read Less

We took our very sick dog here and after about 7 x-rays and a exam the doctor was unable to tell us what was wrong with her, the only thing she could say was she would want to do a few more x-rays. Our dog ended up passing that night. I feel this vet is not competent and we are very disappointed in the quality of care.Read Less

Thank you All for your compassion, care and support over the last few months with Neeka. Thank you to every single one of you for everything you all did for us and Neeka during these last few weeks. I appreciate you all so much. I couldn't have asked for a better way to let my our loving pet go run free in heaven without FVH. Thanks so Much. Love you guys Read Less

First time needing to go to veterinarian hospital to get my dog spayed. I set up the appointment for a week in advanced. When I went to drop off my dog the staff was very friendly and welcoming and seemed very knowledgeable for the questions I had. The following day I picked her up and the gentleman at the front informed me that there were some added costs due to her being in heat. He explained the procedure for the operation and was able to answer all the questions I had regarding the operation and costs break out. I would definitely recommend this vet hospital to a friend! Very friendly and I felt like my dog was in good hands.Read Less

The Staff and Drs and Folsom Vet Hospital are very caring and the prices in this economy are as affordable as can be. We have had our animals with them for 5 years. Dr. Vantine is the best. The staff is caring and I wouldnt go anywhere else. The Smiths Read Less

Over the last thirty years I've had many furry family members. Since we don't have kids they have all been our babies. As a result I've come into contact with many vets and veterinary hospitals over the years and we have not spared any expense for needed surgeries and our pets overall well being. For the most part, my experiences have been very positive. We are new to this area and recently had to make the very difficult decision to put our 14 1/2 year old cocker down. Unfortunately, as is generally the case, we needed to get to a vet on a Sunday. This hospital is open 7 days a week and they easily fit us in (maybe that should have been a clue). Though the vets at this clinic did a thorough job of diagnosing kidney disease, we found both the vets and their staff to be very impersonal and seemingly uncaring - except when it came to the price tag, which was grossly inflated. For example, the vet around the corner from us would have charged $250 for euthanasia and a private cremation (but he couldn't work us in until a day later), these folks charged $450 and we had to insist that our pet be given a shot to relax her before her final shot. When relaying my story to a couple of my co-workers, they recited similar experiences with this clinic. ""Impersonal"", ""abrupt"", and ""uncaring"" seem to be the consistent themes whether it was in relationship to a cat, a puppy, or an older dog. The three of us will not return to this clinic. Since my experience, other friends have recommended Lake Forest Veterinary in EDH on Francisco, EDH Veterinary on EDH Blvd., and another vet on Blue Ravine in Folsom. I've learned a valuable lesson. If veterinary clinic personnel do not take the time to demonstrate some connection with your pet (this is so unbelievable to me) - RUN, don't walk - to the nearest exit! Read Less
