The vet (Amanda?) was great. I was a little annoyed that they had lost my pets records though, hence 4 rather than 5 stars.

My first visit to this business was to euthanize my grandmother's cat. We went on a Saturday morning and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there were only 2 other clients inside. Staff was empathetic and discreet. The wait was minimal and the veterinarian who helped us was sweet, compassionate, kind, gentle and thorough. I was very impressed. Excellent all around!! Read Less

My Gus receives the best care from all the staff here. And as an added bonus the Care Program breaks up the payments into small affordable monthly payments.

We take our 3 dogs and 2 cars here for years. Always quick service and great vets. Prices can be a little high for some services and meds, but typical for vets

We have a "hot cat" which means she's not easy to deal with and they were fantastic with her. They will even to a paw cast ornament for Christmas if you ask.,

While I believe that the care my pet received was competent and compassionate, this clinic has one practice that is a deal-breaker for me. Every time I brought my pet back for a re-check, they simply took her to the back and left me in the waiting room. I saw them doing the same thing with other clients as well. I have switched vets because of this. Read Less

After VCA failed to give our family dog his needed shots we asked for (the simple ones required to board him for the weekend) we disputed the additional office visit charge required for the needed shots that were missed the first time. Our credit is now being ruined as VCA turned it into collections for disputing an office visit cost. Oh yeah... this is after we spent (and payed) them over $3,000 in other bills for our dogs in the prior 2 years they were our dogs vet. Please, save your money and your credit and go somewhere else except VCA. Read Less

I brought my dog here and got his shots and checkup. After that, he experienced some itching symptoms that he'd never had before. I called and talked to Jenny and she said to bring him in to make sure it wasn't a reaction from the shots. They charged us $60 bucks to say it was just a rash. When I asked them why I was being charged for a visit that they told me to come in to make sure they didn't HURT my dog....she said that she ""I must have misunderstood her when she said THEY needed to make sure my dog was okay:"" She bascially said that they take no responsibility for their work and if something goes wrong...oh well...it's not their dog. Pay up! RUDE, Expensive and Irresponsible. DON""T GO HERE!!! Go to the Granite Bay Vet Clinic on the corner of Auburn Folsom Rd and Douglas (in Raleys parking lot). Read Less
