This vet is truly a caring individual. He asks questions and provides options and asks for my input and opinion before he proceeded with the care of my elderly pets. Thank you very much for caring for my babies. Read Less

TLDR; Staff is not professional. Dr Anderson is an awesome vet. Clinic could be better with more professional staff + cleanliness.Hmmmm. It was a tough decision to write this review! My bf's family has been going to this clinic for almost a decade. Their pups are in the double digits now so I know for sure it's been a long time. I'd heard nothing but good things about this clinic, so when my BF and I moved back and we got a new puppy, I figured I might as well take her to Calaveras Clinic where the family's other two dogs go.Making my appt was easy--the woman on the phone, Pam I think? was very professional. When I arrived, I think someone new was getting trained. A client walked out with his old dog, and as he was paying, the dog proceeded to pee all over the floor...for a very...long...time. The owner apologized and walked out with his dog. The person who cleaned the pee merely tossed a paper towel or two and a rag over it, sopped it up, and that was it. No disinfectant or anything. I assume dogs pee like every five seconds in there so maybe it's not worth going full clean every time. I met Dr. Anderson for the first time and he checked out my pup. He was professional, cordial, informative, and so gentle with my puppy. When I mentioned my BF, he immediately knew who I was talking about. He really cares about his clients and knows them personally. I mentioned that one of the family's dogs was getting old and probably was suffering from tooth decay and mouth pain. He recommended I bring him in. I make the appt, dog goes in for check up, then I make another appt for his teeth surgery. When speaking to the woman on the phone, they only time she had available was like 2.5 weeks out!! I did not want our dog to suffer for that long, so I considered seeking another vet. Luckily, Dr Anderson was kind and squeezed the dog into his appts the very next day! However, it kinda went down hill from then.Drop off was at 730 AM. I was told to call 5 hours later to check on when I could pick up the dog. So I call around 230 PM, and they hadn't started on gumball yet. It made me uneasy to think our poor pup was at the vets for that long..nervous and scared! They finally got to him and pick up was around 5pm. The woman I spoke to mentioned that I could keep Gumball there overnight at no cost, in case we couldn't be home to watch him recover. I thought that was cool, until the lady explained that no one is even at the vet's office from 8pm til 7AM the next morning. Why would I leave my dog there for 12 hours right after he got surgery? What if something went wrong? We'd much rather watch him at home then leave him unattended...doesn't make sense. We opted for pick up. I couldnt make it myself, so my bf's sis went. She paid for the whole procedure, and then told us that somehow during the process, our dog's COLLAR GOT CHEWED OFF BY ANOTHER DOG. What?? That means a dog was THAT close to our dogs neck for a long enough time that the other dog managed to gnaw off our dog's collar?? The hell? Apparently the staff was cleaning cages and they put another dog in with gumball. If you don't know the temperament of a dog, you probably shouldnt put another dog in the same small cage. I don't get it.  Dr Anderson offered to pay for a new collar, and he himself was shocked that it happened, which makes me think the staff didn't even communicate it to him. Gumball was bleeding from the gums for a while which i figured would happen, but his nose was also bleeding. Perhaps a wound from that mysterious collar destroying dog??Anyway. I still really like Dr Anderson because he's a wonderful human being and so attentive, but his staff needs to be more careful! I wouldn't want the same situation to happen to another dog, especially if a dog is aggressive. They could end up fighting in the cage. /rant Read Less

My wife has been taking her pets here for many years, and I've been bringing our pets in for over a decade; consider this review well grounded.Doc Anderson is the best!  I've seen him sit on the floor to examine our dog because our dog was stressed from an injury, and kindness (and eventual sadness) when we brought in an abandoned kitten.His staff is of equal caliber.  Everyone knows their stuff, and everyone is genuinely kind.

Doctor Anderson is great! We came to him after leaving our regular vet of 2 years for not being able to resolve an ongoing issue. We are still in the middle of treatment with Doctor Anderson, but during the consultation he was so attentive. We were used to spending no more than 10 minutes with out previous vet, but Doctor Anderson really listened, asked questions and was so attentive to everything we had to say. Definitely refreshing. We hope that our current treatment will help our dog, but if not I have faith that Doctor Anderson will not stop until he's helped us. Read Less

First exam was free!  Our little pup was not feeling like herself. We were worried she may have hurt her back from jumping off the couch. The dr was so great with her and didn't push getting X-rays. Most places would put their own needs before the animals and we are so thankful they were right. She was back to her normal self in a few days. They even called to check in on her, I highly recommend it! Read Less

We have been going to Dr. Anderson with our beloved dog Lily for a year now and I've been very happy and grateful for him. He was highly recommended by our trainer. I've had animals my entire life so I've seen a few bad vets in my time and I can say that Dr. Anderson is one of the best. He is very competent, super kind and present with with his clients and animals. He never rushes you out and he is a great listener. You can discuss health matters and also training and behavioral issues with him. He is very caring, authentic and honest and seems to really enjoy his work. The staff has always been very pleasant and we have received great service. Read Less

I took my french bulldog puppy here for her first exam. Dr. Anderson was very thorough and answer all my many many questions. Everyone at this office was super friendly and sweet. They handled my puppy with lots of care. Luckily Emmie is all good and healthy. Dr. Anderson went over all the things to expect from Emmie, anything to watch out for, and lots of tips to keep her healthy.Dr. Anderson will be Emmie's primary vet! Read Less

Doctor Anderson is the best! I came in with two of my babies just to get a check up and test for fleas and ticks. He checked both of them and made them feel very comfortable. Thank god both of them are healthy and all that was needed was some flea prevention and killing medication. Although my problem wasn't severe, he took his time to explain fleas and look at the both of them and the pricing was very fair !! Read Less

Dr. Anderson and the team at Calaveras Veterinary Clinic (Susan, Pam, and Carmen) have been a part of our dogs care since they were 2 months old; that was about 6 years ago. Dr. is authentic, caring, and patient. He is very thorough when explaining our dog's condition, which I truly appreciate. My family is grateful to CVC and highly recommend Dr. Anderson to anyone seeking excellent care for their loved ones.Read Less

Feel lucky to have this clinic near our home. We have been the happy customers of this clinic for a few years now. We like Dr. Anderson and the office staff, they are attentive, compassionate and caring. Read Less

It's almost been half a year with Calaveras Veterinary Clinic so I thought I would finally finish my review.After a very horrible and traumatic experience at my previous vet, I was unsure if there were still honest veterinarians out there.. Dr. Anderson was absolutely amazing with both my dogs. Making an appointment was a breeze! Carmen and the entire front staff are super nice and inviting! If you've ever switched vets, you know that you have to transfer all the paperwork over to the new vet. Carmen noticed that I had so many papers that she offered to print updated health certificates for both my dogs with their most recent shots and boosters so I could toss out all the old papers from my old vet.Dr. Anderson was extremely informative and thorough for my dogs' first exam. I truly feel like he's more than just a vet. Dr. Anderson is there as your vet, fellow animal lover, and friend. He gave me great advice. We talked about which brand of dog food was good, he also gave me some tips and tricks that he learned from his own experience as a pet owner on how to get my puppy to behave. My oldest chihuahua Charlie, is super sassy. Charlie takes a little time to warm up to. Instead of proceeding with the exam, he took the time to get to know Charlie, gave him lots of nice belly rubs, and made sure Charlie was comfortable and at ease. Now what I like about the veterinary clinic as a whole is that they don't try to sell you gimmicky value packages. You will not be urged to buy a puppy package or a senior package for your dog. You won't be pressured into buying something your pet does not need or run any unnecessary tests. I truly think I found the perfect veterinary clinic for my babies! Read Less

Took my rabbit here because of a lump on his belly. Dr. Anderson and his staff completely exceeded my expectations of a veterinary clinic. My bunny is 7 years old, and has seen many doctors but Dr. Anderson was by far the most patient and thorough doctor I've been to. He went over ALL the options with us: biopsy, blood work, surgery, and even what would happen if we chose to do nothing. He gave my family plenty of time to decide what the best option for Mr. Magic would be, no pressure, and he made sure to spend as much time with us answering questions as we needed. It's difficult to find a vet that treats rabbits, but Dr. Anderson is very knowledgeable and has the best prices out of any vet in the area (I called around to 7 different offices.) I won't take my baby anywhere else. His staff made us feel so welcome and it was overall the best veterinary experience I've had since becoming a rabbit mom. Thank you Calaveras Veterinary Clinic!

Dr. Anderson is an absolutely fabulous vet! We started taking our dogs there about 2 years ago due to customer service issues at our previous vet. Dr. Anderson provides exceptional service and one can tell that he genuinely cares about the animals. The doctor always clearly communicates available treatment options and then takes care in providing the decided upon treatment. In additional to providing exceptional service, Dr. Anderson has the most reasonable pricing in town. When we switched vets, we found that our old vet had been charging three times as much for our chubby lab's thyroid medication. We brought another dog in for an inverted eyelash surgery. The previous vet had quoted $3K, but Dr. Anderson did it all forRead Less

Dr. Anderson is one of the best vets I have been too. My pets are a little...ok a lot... difficult with their multiple health issues and allergies. Dr. Anderson has done a wonderful job working with my family to help keep our pets happy. The staff is also amazing always greeting my mom and I by name. We know that if we are ever having any trouble we can call up Calaveras Vet Clinic and they are there for us. Dr. Anderson really cares about the animals and he explains things in a way that is easy to understand. This is an amazing vet clinic. Read Less

I first met Dr. Anderson and his Staff in 2000 when I was doing Boxer Rescue. Dr. Anderson was/is the best, kindest most personable and all around greatest Vet I have ever had the privilage of bringing my pet to. Dr. Anderson was (and I think still does) care for Boxers needing help for the Boxer Rescue organization I was a volunteer with and he was ALWAYS wonderful in everything he did for our Rescue Boxers. Now that I am no longer involved with Boxer Rescue and I live in Fremont (I was in Milpitas before) and I now have my own Boxers that I show and plan to one day be able to breed. I thought I had to find another Vet here in Fremont as I wanted a vet that was closer and open on weekends. Well after trying 3 different local Vets here in Fremont, putting up with vets that lie, over charge, have NO personality whatsoever and aren't very helpful at all I decided to go back to the best Vet ever and even though I have to take time off of work to bring my Boxers to see Dr. Anderson instead of the local crappy Vets that I can go to evening and weekends, I feel I need to just stay where my Boxers are happiest and that's definately with Dr. Anderson. I even get my OFA testing done with Dr. Anderson when he didn't do OFA things like Thyroid and Auscultation before I asked him to do them. He (Dr. Anderson) always makes sure he answers all my questions and asks if I have more questions. He explains everything and makes sure I understand. He always smiles and TRUELY seems to LOVE what he does. The best part is My Boxers LOVE him, They are getting the BEST care possible and he does all this at prices I can definately afford. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson to EVERYONE!!!!! He is the best!!!!! I would probably drive 100 miles or more if I had to, just to take my Boxers to Dr. Anderson!!!!! Read Less
