My little “Niki” passed away on March 25, 2018 because I could not afford the $8,000.00 to $11,000.00 surgery that he needed to live. I have written letters to Gov. Brown, Congressman, Senators, the President of the University of California who has control of the U.C. Davis Veterinary Hospital where I was denied medical treatment for “Niki, “ and to the Animal Legal Defense Fund and to President Trump. In my 15 page letter, I urged them to pass legislation for affordable “Pe...t Insurance.” A special tax can be passed by Californians to provide the funding to provide “Pet Insurance” for Californians. A bill should also be passed to provide low income, the disabled, disabled Californians, and Disabled Veterans, to have “Pet Insurance” to their pet (Family Member). These out of control fees by Veterinarians have been responsible for $200,000.00 pets being euthanized. Between the Veterinarians and the Shelters, California euthanizes 1.5 Million pets per year. It is estimated that the number of pets being euthanized by Veterinarians could be as high as 500,000.00 per year for legal pet owners who see their pets as part of the family. The average Veterinarian grossed over 1 Million dollars and the Pet Industry grossed over 1 Billion dollars last year. Isn’t it time that the pet owners have some say over whether or not their pet lives or dies!! Support me and “Niki” in this long expected battle against the Veterinarians and the Shelters that are slaughtering our animals by the thousands. We must put a stop to this genocide. In Germany, animals are not euthanized because of the murder of 6 million Jews during World War 2. They have learned from their mistake, but we yet have not learned from ours because the Veterinary Profession sees Pets as money, and the Shelters get paid for the carcass of an animal by private companies who in turn sell them to make compost or fertilizer. Niki’s Law I have urged my representative to pass “Niki’s” Law in a concerted effort to stop the excessive costs of Veterinarians and to stop the massive euthanization of innocent animals. Both have profited greatly from our pets. Veterinarians profit from the excessive and high costs of medical care for our pets, and the shelters profit by selling the carcass to private bidders to make a profit. My little “Niki” not lies in a grave because UC. Davis Animal Hospital charged me an excessive fee I could not afford to pay. Your pet might be next. Ramon Magdaleno “Niki’s Father See More

Look no further for the best animal compassion in the county and more. Whether for new puppy, loving maintenance, and end of life compassion, this doctors office is second to none. They did the absolute best for me and my soon to be sleeping friend of 15 years. My only regret is that I did not have my dearly beloved dog as a patient/friend of theirs sooner. One billion stars

We have been to this vet twice now with our new pup and the vet and the nurses are WONDERFUL. The receptionist at the front desk isn't as nice or social as the rest of the staff but she isn't rude either. She just doesn't seem her talkative which some may take as off putting. The vet was GREAT!!! She answered all 150 questions I had and made me feel like she genuinely cared for our new baby girl. I didn't feel rushed or like just a walking dollar sign while I was here. I feel the people that work here are very caring and 100% genuine. Some may say they are a little pricey but you get what you pay for. So I am ABSOLUTELY okay with the prices here it worst it!

I'm a regular at their other location College Vet. But I've been to this location a few times in the past couple weeks. My dog had stomach, eye, lymph, and teeth issues happening in a Domino effect . Dr.Bove has been wonderful with My dog . He ended up needing a tooth extracted , but it ended up being 4 teeth removed. She answered my questions, returned my calls, took no offense to my questions. The staff called me and kept me updated. He was well cared for at this office . They didn't have a dental specialist but Dr.Bove did a wonderful job on his extractions. He hasn't whined or needed his pain meds 8+hrs later. I spent $125 just for a consult at a Dental clinic elsewhere , to find out the lady wasn't even board certified and wanted $1700. My bill here was less than half of that quote. They also have some specialist on hand here. Radiologist, cardiologist, dermatologist

We have taken our dog here and I can tell you that we will not give them anymore money!!!The people at the front desk are good at taking your money, they are certainly NOT good at customer service or being empathetic with your situation. They rush you and don't ever try to engage you in meaningful conversation about your pet.The focus always seems to be what additional services they can sell you on. Your pet most likely does not need it but they certainly try hard to persuade you into it. I am all for selling me smothering but when that is your main focus not the health of my animal.I'm sorry I appreciate a little customer service and kindness especially when my pet is sick.Look around before you come here.

I have taken my dogs and cat here for the past couple years but unfortunately had multiple negative experiences from the front staff in emeregency situations. When your animals are sick and in need of help, I need a vet that shows they care about my pet and that they are not just a number. Unfortunately had to find another vet.

Brought my dog here for a neuter, only $75 (medication and collar are separate!!!) went smoother than bacon grease sliding down a griddle! I also brought my 6 mo. Old Boston terrier puppy for a consult on cherry eye. Doctors explained showed us how much it would be and that's it. Service is friendly, haven't had any problems hope I don't have any either. Great place to neuter, I don't know about spay since I've never gotten that done here. The clinic is hidden, it's on the very end of the building.

My 1st experience was great. Rather expensive, but worth it for the care of my Bella. Sadly, my sweet mom died in my arms, and I had to move to Santa Cruz, Ca. , I had to get Bella protected from the heart worm, and other bad things dogs pick up. Very welcoming people, I really like them, but the person that cut off my Bell's long hair. Bella is a mix of Poodle, Maltese. I got her at the Animal Shelter, now Bella is my Service Dog. I thought that V.O.V. would protect her from heart worm, and other dog illnesses. I left there after Bell was checked out for heart worm, and they gave me a years worth of heart worm meds. which was good, but they lied to me saying that the same girl would cut Bell's hair. Not true, a new girl butchered my Bell's hair. Even though I have moved, even if I was up in Modesto I would not take my love to Village Oak Veterinary Hospital. I really like them, but that new person that cut my Bell's hair really bad is hard for me to continue going there.

I was new the area and they took immaculate care of my elderly dog. Shortly into my taking my dog to Village Oak he got very sick and had to be euthanized. The veterinarians and vet techs at Village Oak couldn't have been kinder, more gentle, or respectful. I felt my dog and me were given the utmost respect and my dog was given incredible care. I'm not ready for another pet, but when I am Village Oak will be his/her primary care provider.

We signed her up for their puppy plain, they accepted my insurance through my employer and have always been exceptional.

I have been taking all of my 6 (and my parents 4) animals here for many years. My pets have been seen by most all of the vets in the facility. I don't think you can find a more friendly, helpful knowledgeable staff anywhere. I adopted one of my cats (Boo Kitty) from one of the vet techs almost 10 years ago. It is very clear that the vets and staff ONLY care about the health and welfare of the our pets. I will continue to bring my own pets and recommend that everyone I know and meet brings their pets here. I know my pets will receive the best care anywhere.

We have four dogs and a cat (our own little zoo...) and they all go to Village Oak. We have seen Dr. Lake and Dr. Nyugen, and both vets are very thorough and caring. They really take time to talk to us as owners and to determine the best course of care for our pets--both medically and financially for us. The office staff is also WONDERFUL and the office is clean and comfortable, like a medical office should be! They are really accommodating with appointment booking, and always excited to see our pets, who are also excited to see them. Our male boarder collie used to have to be dragged into the vet's office, and at Village Oak, he just charges-on-in without hesitation. It really means a lot that they care so much at Village Oak, and that our babies are so at ease. We'll be seeing them soon, I'm sure.

DISGRACEFUL! My aunt is traumatized by these people! She took her 10 year old dog in because she was having issues breathing and was very lethargic. They told her to come back after a few hours. When she did she spoke to a Dr. Fitzpatrick who told her she needed to by over 100 dollars worth of meds, how to administer them, etc etc. Giving her FALSE HOPE. When she got her dog the nurses were carrying her because she was SO NEAR DEATHS DOOR SHE COULDNT WALK! needless to say after an hour at home she had to take her to a different place to have her put down because she was DYING! They SCAMMED my aunt out of money, giving her false hope. They didn't have the nerve to say "listen your dog is dying, she cant even walk anymore, she cant even stand, shes dying im sorry." wtf is wrong with you people!!! WHO DOES THAT!?

My little “Niki” passed away on March 25, 2018 because I could not afford the $8,000.00 to $11,000.00 surgery that he needed to live. I have written letters to Gov. Brown, Congressman, Senators, the President of the University of California who has control of the U.C. Davis Veterinary Hospital where I was denied medical treatment for “Niki, “ and to the Animal Legal Defense Fund and to President Trump. In my 15 page letter, I urged them to pass legislation for affordable “Pe...t Insurance.” A special tax can be passed by Californians to provide the funding to provide “Pet Insurance” for Californians. A bill should also be passed to provide low income, the disabled, disabled Californians, and Disabled Veterans, to have “Pet Insurance” to their pet (Family Member). These out of control fees by Veterinarians have been responsible for $200,000.00 pets being euthanized. Between the Veterinarians and the Shelters, California euthanizes 1.5 Million pets per year. It is estimated that the number of pets being euthanized by Veterinarians could be as high as 500,000.00 per year for legal pet owners who see their pets as part of the family. The average Veterinarian grossed over 1 Million dollars and the Pet Industry grossed over 1 Billion dollars last year. Isn’t it time that the pet owners have some say over whether or not their pet lives or dies!! Support me and “Niki” in this long expected battle against the Veterinarians and the Shelters that are slaughtering our animals by the thousands. We must put a stop to this genocide. In Germany, animals are not euthanized because of the murder of 6 million Jews during World War 2. They have learned from their mistake, but we yet have not learned from ours because the Veterinary Profession sees Pets as money, and the Shelters get paid for the carcass of an animal by private companies who in turn sell them to make compost or fertilizer. Niki’s Law I have urged my representative to pass “Niki’s” Law in a concerted effort to stop the excessive costs of Veterinarians and to stop the massive euthanization of innocent animals. Both have profited greatly from our pets. Veterinarians profit from the excessive and high costs of medical care for our pets, and the shelters profit by selling the carcass to private bidders to make a profit.

My little “Niki” passed away on March 25, 2018 because I could not afford the $8,000.00 to $11,000.00 surgery that he needed to live. I have written letters to Gov. Brown, Congressman, Senators, the President of the University of California who has control of the U.C. Davis Veterinary Hospital where I was denied medical treatment for “Niki, “ and to the Animal Legal Defense Fund and to President Trump. In my 15 page letter, I urged them to pass legislation for affordable “Pe...t Insurance.” A special tax can be passed by Californians to provide the funding to provide “Pet Insurance” for Californians. A bill should also be passed to provide low income, the disabled, disabled Californians, and Disabled Veterans, to have “Pet Insurance” to their pet (Family Member). These out of control fees by Veterinarians have been responsible for $200,000.00 pets being euthanized. Between the Veterinarians and the Shelters, California euthanizes 1.5 Million pets per year. It is estimated that the number of pets being euthanized by Veterinarians could be as high as 500,000.00 per year for legal pet owners who see their pets as part of the family. The average Veterinarian grossed over 1 Million dollars and the Pet Industry grossed over 1 Billion dollars last year. Isn’t it time that the pet owners have some say over whether or not their pet lives or dies!! Support me and “Niki” in this long expected battle against the Veterinarians and the Shelters that are slaughtering our animals by the thousands. We must put a stop to this genocide. In Germany, animals are not euthanized because of the murder of 6 million Jews during World War 2. They have learned from their mistake, but we yet have not learned from ours because the Veterinary Profession sees Pets as money, and the Shelters get paid for the carcass of an animal by private companies who in turn sell them to make compost or fertilizer. Niki’s Law I have urged my representative to pass “Niki’s” Law in a concerted effort to stop the excessive costs of Veterinarians and to stop the massive euthanization of innocent animals. Both have profited greatly from our pets. Veterinarians profit from the excessive and high costs of medical care for our pets, and the shelters profit by selling the carcass to private bidders to make a profit.

Look no further for the best animal compassion in the county and more. Whether for new puppy, loving maintenance, and end of life compassion, this doctors office is second to none. They did the absolute best for me and my soon to be sleeping friend of 15 years. My only regret is that I did not have my dearly beloved dog as a patient/friend of theirs sooner. One billion stars

We have been to this vet twice now with our new pup and the vet and the nurses are WONDERFUL. The receptionist at the front desk isn't as nice or social as the rest of the staff but she isn't rude either. She just doesn't seem her talkative which some may take as off putting. The vet was GREAT!!! She answered all 150 questions I had and made me feel like she genuinely cared for our new baby girl. I didn't feel rushed or like just a walking dollar sign while I was here. I feel the people that work here are very caring and 100% genuine. Some may say they are a little pricey but you get what you pay for. So I am ABSOLUTELY okay with the prices here it worst it!

I'm a regular at their other location College Vet. But I've been to this location a few times in the past couple weeks. My dog had stomach, eye, lymph, and teeth issues happening in a Domino effect . Dr.Bove has been wonderful with My dog . He ended up needing a tooth extracted , but it ended up being 4 teeth removed. She answered my questions, returned my calls, took no offense to my questions. The staff called me and kept me updated. He was well cared for at this office . They didn't have a dental specialist but Dr.Bove did a wonderful job on his extractions. He hasn't whined or needed his pain meds 8+hrs later. I spent $125 just for a consult at a Dental clinic elsewhere , to find out the lady wasn't even board certified and wanted $1700. My bill here was less than half of that quote. They also have some specialist on hand here. Radiologist, cardiologist, dermatologist

We have taken our dog here and I can tell you that we will not give them anymore money!!!The people at the front desk are good at taking your money, they are certainly NOT good at customer service or being empathetic with your situation. They rush you and don't ever try to engage you in meaningful conversation about your pet.The focus always seems to be what additional services they can sell you on. Your pet most likely does not need it but they certainly try hard to persuade you into it. I am all for selling me smothering but when that is your main focus not the health of my animal.I'm sorry I appreciate a little customer service and kindness especially when my pet is sick.Look around before you come here.

I have taken my dogs and cat here for the past couple years but unfortunately had multiple negative experiences from the front staff in emeregency situations. When your animals are sick and in need of help, I need a vet that shows they care about my pet and that they are not just a number. Unfortunately had to find another vet.

I would be lost without them. I have been going to them and would recommend them for more than six years since I've lived in Modesto.

Brought my dog here for a neuter, only $75 (medication and collar are separate!!!) went smoother than bacon grease sliding down a griddle! I also brought my 6 mo. Old Boston terrier puppy for a consult on cherry eye. Doctors explained showed us how much it would be and that's it. Service is friendly, haven't had any problems hope I don't have any either. Great place to neuter, I don't know about spay since I've never gotten that done here. The clinic is hidden, it's on the very end of the building.

My 1st experience was great. Rather expensive, but worth it for the care of my Bella. Sadly, my sweet mom died in my arms, and I had to move to Santa Cruz, Ca. , I had to get Bella protected from the heart worm, and other bad things dogs pick up. Very welcoming people, I really like them, but the person that cut off my Bell's long hair. Bella is a mix of Poodle, Maltese. I got her at the Animal Shelter, now Bella is my Service Dog. I thought that V.O.V. would protect her from heart worm, and other dog illnesses. I left there after Bell was checked out for heart worm, and they gave me a years worth of heart worm meds. which was good, but they lied to me saying that the same girl would cut Bell's hair. Not true, a new girl butchered my Bell's hair. Even though I have moved, even if I was up in Modesto I would not take my love to Village Oak Veterinary Hospital. I really like them, but that new person that cut my Bell's hair really bad is hard for me to continue going there.

I was new the area and they took immaculate care of my elderly dog. Shortly into my taking my dog to Village Oak he got very sick and had to be euthanized. The veterinarians and vet techs at Village Oak couldn't have been kinder, more gentle, or respectful. I felt my dog and me were given the utmost respect and my dog was given incredible care. I'm not ready for another pet, but when I am Village Oak will be his/her primary care provider.

For the past 12 years Village Oak has showed care and compassion for our Myles Cooper. Whether it was boarding (or doggie spa) to medical attention from a visit to the doggie park, Village Oak was professional. The decision to relieve his suffering this week was difficult. The staff and doctors were very tender to Myles & our family. We were not rushed or hurried. Thank you Village Oak Team for easing the pain of losing one our "family" members.

These people are amazing! I have been taking my puppy here since the day we brought Lulu home at two months. We signed her up for their puppy plain, they accepted my insurance through my employer and have always been exceptional. About a month ago we had Lulu spade and boarded while she was recovering and everything went great. I can't recommend them enough, if you love your animal you will love being them here for care.

Thank you very much for your compassion from all your staff today. The decision to put down my loved Duchess was not easily made. Your staff was patient answering my questions and handled the entire situation amazingly well. My Duchess was treated with the respect and dignity that I needed to see as she left our world. I have two other dogs and at this point, I wouldn't take them anywhere else. Thank you.

I have been taking all of my 6 (and my parents 4) animals here for many years. My pets have been seen by most all of the vets in the facility. I don't think you can find a more friendly, helpful knowledgeable staff anywhere. I adopted one of my cats (Boo Kitty) from one of the vet techs almost 10 years ago. It is very clear that the vets and staff ONLY care about the health and welfare of the our pets. I will continue to bring my own pets and recommend that everyone I know and meet brings their pets here. I know my pets will receive the best care anywhere.

We have four dogs and a cat (our own little zoo...) and they all go to Village Oak. We have seen Dr. Lake and Dr. Nyugen, and both vets are very thorough and caring. They really take time to talk to us as owners and to determine the best course of care for our pets--both medically and financially for us. The office staff is also WONDERFUL and the office is clean and comfortable, like a medical office should be! They are really accommodating with appointment booking, and always excited to see our pets, who are also excited to see them. Our male boarder collie used to have to be dragged into the vet's office, and at Village Oak, he just charges-on-in without hesitation. It really means a lot that they care so much at Village Oak, and that our babies are so at ease. We'll be seeing them soon, I'm sure.

DISGRACEFUL! My aunt is traumatized by these people! She took her 10 year old dog in because she was having issues breathing and was very lethargic. They told her to come back after a few hours. When she did she spoke to a Dr. Fitzpatrick who told her she needed to by over 100 dollars worth of meds, how to administer them, etc etc. Giving her FALSE HOPE. When she got her dog the nurses were carrying her because she was SO NEAR DEATHS DOOR SHE COULDNT WALK! needless to say after an hour at home she had to take her to a different place to have her put down because she was DYING! They SCAMMED my aunt out of money, giving her false hope. They didn't have the nerve to say "listen your dog is dying, she cant even walk anymore, she cant even stand, shes dying im sorry." wtf is wrong with you people!!! WHO DOES THAT!?

After reading the reviews I would have to disagree. I am not wealthy or "important" but I had a great experience at this clinic. My cat had a terrible festering wound on his face and they did an awesome job. I have been back since and I would recommend that people try it out as prices are very high everywhere you go and they were very fair.

You got money? You someone important? THEN you get A+ treatment. You poor and not important? THEN you get treated like Sh**! They scare clients into giving cats annual shots when they KNOW shots are to be given every THREE years if that often.When my cat had to be put down - Dr Kline would not even see her. Sent her to his hired vet at College who was too busy making his coffee to look at her so he had the office manager do it and he ONLY stepped in for the killing shot! I would NEVER go to them again EVER!ALL they are interested in is money!

I have taken my dog here a few times. Dr Lake was great! She said we could do an MRI and spend all kinds of money. Or he may have just tweeked it so giving it a week or so and he may be fine. My boy was fine and Dr Lake saved me a ton of money. We also had to take my sisters 18 yr old lab to have her put to sleep. The staff was once again amazing and so kind and patient. They explained everything and gave us ample time to say our goodbyes. Fabulous and very knowledgeable staff! Only place I will ever take my pets for medical care!!!
