Amador Valley Veterinary Center
Pleasanton, California
General Info
Amador Valley Veterinary Center in Pleasanton assists pet owners throughout California to synchronize health plans behavioral requirements and examination schedules when their homes include multiple pets with varying habits and care rhythms. Initial visits begin with detailed examinations of each pet’s historical background combined with behavior profiles and recent changes to understand their household roles. Examinations focus on individual assessments of posture combined with ear and eye clarity while evaluating skin health and hydration alongside gait patterns and temperament in interactions with both humans and other animals. Environmental factors in multi-pet households can both conceal and amplify health indicators, requiring contextual examination of shared symptoms such as mild coughing or reduced appetite. Amador Valley Veterinary Center delivers customized wellness programs alongside diagnostic services and surgical consultations while managing weight tracking and dental examinations with preventive scheduling. Care plans undergo staging to accommodate both owner schedules and pet temperaments by either spacing visits when necessary or combining procedures to enhance time and energy management. Households managing new adoptions, age-related slowdowns, or travel schedules find routines sustainable through this method. Clinic staff presents options to families in a straightforward manner delivering sufficient detail to enable decision-making while avoiding overwhelming them. Throughout every stage owners have the opportunity to ask questions because each appointment and follow-up includes built-in communication. Amador Valley Veterinary Center aids families from Pleasanton and surrounding California areas to establish veterinary routines that sync with their home tempo which gives each pet a voice and every visit a purpose.

We tried other vets and offices before Amador Valley and were let down many times. We are beyond grateful we made the switch to Amador Valley and can’t thank them enough!

Dr. Liesel Petersen has been our veterinarian since 2003. We have followed her from Bishop Ranch, and now to Amador. We have quite the crew, three dogs and two cats. Her care and compassion with our animals is absolutely amazing. Nobody wants to go to the vet, least of all the pets, and she makes the experience very pleasant. Even when it's bad news. She explains our options, in language we can understand, and helps us make decisions, even when they are difficult. We will continue to use both Amador and her sister Veterinary Hospital Bishop Ranch for all of our pets needs without question!

Dr. Godfrey is by far the most excellent vet I've ever met. She is caring, listens and very knowledgeable. Her never-give-up attitude gives me reassurance, knowing she will do everything she can to solve a pet issue. I have Yorkies and they tend to have stomach issues and more. One of my Yorkies has everything under the sun going against her, but Dr. Godfrey keeps up with adjusting her meds as needed. She has also performed acupuncture on my Yorkie which has made a substantial difference in her numerous conditions. I can't recommend her more highly!

Over the years, I have worked with both Dr. Godfrey and Dr. Wolf and both are exceptionaly patient and wonderful with my pets and with me. I appreciate that both Doctors remember my dog Chucho. He's always excited to see them both, which says a lot. Dr. Godfrey gets down on the floor with him and loves him up. He's a 20 lb ball of terrier energy and he loves the attention. Their approach may be different, but both Drs. Wolf and Godfrey have made my life easier. Amador Valley Veterinary Center helps me accomplish the most important things: Loving and attentive veterinary care for my dog, financing options (through Care Credit) and the patience to work with me on a solution I can afford. These guys are the best of the best. They are affiliated with Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center. They still have the local small office feel and attention, with the benefits of being connected to a larger Veterinary Center with emergency hours and state of the art technology. Can't say enough how thrilled I am to have both Drs. Wolf and Godfrey in the same building. They are AMAZING!

My 10 yr old female cat, "Inara", had what I thought was an abscess near the end of her tail, perhaps from one of the other household cats grabbing her tail with their claws as she walked by - as cats often do. As it turned out, Dr. Wolf immediately determined it was a tumor. So, we are headed for surgery tomorrow morning. Oh, joy. Inara is a normally vocal cat at home. She's an indoor-only cat and hasn't been in a carrier for at least 8 years. She's also extremely skiddish. We were at Amador Vet for about an hour and she didn't stop screaming the whole time. Thanks to the staff - especially the front desk - for putting up with that. Everyone was very accomodating, friendly and concerned. I have great confidence in Dr. Wolf and the staff there. I'll post an update after surgery.

The staff are wonderful... absolutely wonderful. However, our vet who knew little about sugar gliders should have never operated on our little girl. The doctor assured us a 90% success rate on her surgery. We got her back paralyzed and dying. We paid $1000 for the death of our girl... plus another $100+ for cremation. What kills us is that the doctor didn't even realize she was paralyzed. Completely incompetent vet. And with the huge bill and broken hearts, we had to listen for weeks as her twin sister cried out for her at night.

I have been taking my two cats to Dr. Godfrey for two years now and we drive out from Concord to see her. The cats love her and her staff. My youngest had a limp a couple years ago and I had taken him to three (yes, three!) different vets in my area. Each gave me a different diagnosis, different x-rays, and none were right. He was miserable, I was going broke, and feeling more guilty by the minute. I just knew something wasn't right. I read some reviews and called Dr. Godfrey. She asked, in my opinion, the right questions and diagnosed my little guy with what she thought was a broken hip over the phone and told me to come in right away to make sure. Low and behold she was completely right. One surgery and he was fixed. All the other vets told me he was too young to have such an injury and didn't even look into it. I haven't seen another vet since. I only go to Dr. Godfrey. She's an all bases covered, to the point, excellent diagnostician who has a way with animals that is pretty cool to see. She loves them and they can definitely tell. My cat purred during his check up today. UNREAL. Anyway, I've sent friends with dogs to her and they feel the same way I do about her. If you have a sick pet with what you believe to be a tough case like I did or just need a teeth cleaning, vaccinations, or a check up at a fair price. She's your doctor. I honestly can't thank her enough! My little dude is back to chasing his laser pen at epic speeds and its all thanks to Dr. Godfrey and her amazing staff. They also give a pretty mean kitty hair cut! (See my eldest son pictured the day of his cut and vaccination then a precut photo with both of the little goobers looking healthy, happy, and waiting for a little bath tub wading to beat the heat)

I've been taking my cats to see Dr. Wolf for a few years and he's great! He always explains things thoroughly and has always returned my calls personally when I've had concerns. One of my cats is not exactly what you would call "personable" and even she loves him. She broke her leg a couple years ago and since it was after hours, I took her to an emergency vet in Dublin where she subsequently had surgery. I didn't know they had contacted Dr. Wolf's office until I got a call from a staff member who just wanted to call and let me know they were aware of the situation and to see how things were. I thought that was very thoughtful of them. From the doctors to the staff, this office is amazing! I would highly recommend.

I am so happy a friend recommend Dr. Wolf and staff when my daughter's hamster became lethargic/ill.Based on her hamster's age, I knew it probably wasn't a good sign, but this is part of why we get pets for our children, right? To learn about the cycle of life...Each person during our visit was very kind and compassionate...from the staff who checked us in, to Dr. Wolf. Even his wife, who also works there, made a point to pop in our room and chat with my daughter once we made the decision to euthanize.The visit never felt rushed and every person on staff offered their condolences. I really appreciate the attention and care they provided my daughter during such a delicate moment. She was crying and their empathy was truly needed and appropriate. They were thoughtful enough to provide little cards with her hamster's paw prints on them for us to take home. And a couple of weeks later we received a sympathy card in the mail signed by their staff!My daughter wants to be a vet when she grows up, she decided this at age 3, and this experience will no doubt leave a lasting impression, whatever career path she ultimately chooses. Thank you Dr. Wolf and team.

I had to request a last minute appointment after noticing my dachshund's back and hind legs were stiff. He couldn't moved and cried every time I touched his back. As a first time patient, my dog felt very comfortable (despite being in pain) in the exam room, which never happens. I immediately noticed that the staff is very caring with all the pets and treats them with equal compassion. My biggest concern was that my dog had maybe pinched a nerve or -- worse -- ruptured a disc and needed surgery but Dr. Wolf did an extensive physical exam and told me that he had intense muscle spasms. I was so relieved! Dr. Wolf is an amazing vet and his assistant is just as great. I've never seen my dog respond so positively to a vet before. I highly recommend this place if you're new or visiting the area and need a vet. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

Dr. Godfrey is by far the most excellent vet I've ever met. She is caring, listens and very knowledgeable. Her never-give-up attitude gives me reassurance, knowing she will do everything she can to solve a pet issue. I have Yorkies and they tend to have stomach issues and more. One of my Yorkies has everything under the sun going against her, but Dr. Godfrey keeps up with adjusting her meds as needed. She has also performed acupuncture on my Yorkie which has made a substantial difference in her numerous conditions. I can't recommend her more highly!

Over the years, I have worked with both Dr. Godfrey and Dr. Wolf and both are exceptionaly patient and wonderful with my pets and with me. I appreciate that both Doctors remember my dog Chucho. He's always excited to see them both, which says a lot. Dr. Godfrey gets down on the floor with him and loves him up. He's a 20 lb ball of terrier energy and he loves the attention. Their approach may be different, but both Drs. Wolf and Godfrey have made my life easier. Amador Valley Veterinary Center helps me accomplish the most important things: Loving and attentive veterinary care for my dog, financing options (through Care Credit) and the patience to work with me on a solution I can afford. These guys are the best of the best. They are affiliated with Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center. They still have the local small office feel and attention, with the benefits of being connected to a larger Veterinary Center with emergency hours and state of the art technology. Can't say enough how thrilled I am to have both Drs. Wolf and Godfrey in the same building. They are AMAZING!

My 10 yr old female cat, "Inara", had what I thought was an abscess near the end of her tail, perhaps from one of the other household cats grabbing her tail with their claws as she walked by - as cats often do. As it turned out, Dr. Wolf immediately determined it was a tumor. So, we are headed for surgery tomorrow morning. Oh, joy. Inara is a normally vocal cat at home. She's an indoor-only cat and hasn't been in a carrier for at least 8 years. She's also extremely skiddish. We were at Amador Vet for about an hour and she didn't stop screaming the whole time. Thanks to the staff - especially the front desk - for putting up with that. Everyone was very accomodating, friendly and concerned. I have great confidence in Dr. Wolf and the staff there. I'll post an update after surgery.

5 weeks kitten eye infection, wound on neck, also infected. With check up: 59, parasite check : 75 , medicine antibiotics: 51, and Thank you Yelp for coupon 59, together I paid $136. Very reasonable in my opinion. Dr. wolf is a very lovely dr. :) Staff are all very kind and warm.

We were recommended by someone who worked for this hospital and takes her own dogs here. Dr. Godfrey and her staff are always so patient with ME, the crazy dog Mom. They also are very patient with my dog who absolutely hates going to the vet...he shakes and whines. Dr. Godfrey thinks out of the box and is very knowledgeable, and is even certified in holistic medicine

Recently took my dog here and we are very pleased thus far. I love that you can book appointments online. He had ear problems for the longest time and we'd taken him to another practice who charged us for mess, that never worked. Here, he was diagnosed and treated and it took a week to clear up. So happy to have found this place!

I was there yesterday and today. I called for a same day appt and they took us in. It was a professional, clean environment and the staff was friendly and attentive. Dr Godfrey did a thorough exam on my kitty and explained in detail what tests they would do, answered my questions and I never felt hurried out. I normally go to their sister feline clinic but I will be coming here from now on.

Today was the first time I took my hamster to this clinic. Upon arriving, we were greeted by very welcoming staffs. I'm glad I made the choice to come here, because Dr.Wolf was extremely experienced and responsible. He took all the time and patience explaining everything, he cared for my hamster. I loved how the clinic gave out quotes on everything before I asked, even on possible future expenditures! Very organized clinic, will be coming here from now on.

I have been taking my pets to Bishop Ranch Vet in San Ramon who I trust. What a pleasant surprise to find out that they are affiliated with this tucked away location in my home town. Saved me a drive plus the staff and vet care is just how I have come to expect, great first impression and nice job with my dog My is a 5 year old Golden Retriever who was showing signs of a sore leg/muscles and starting to limp. Very thorough examination and care plan. I saw Dr Wolf and you can tell this is a well run faculty.

I want to thank All of you for how Miko amd I were treated today. Everyone was very helpful and made us feel comfortable. Coming to a new Vet is a little nerve racking but I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. The front desk staff, the person who set us up in the exam room, the person whom gave Miko his shot and the Vet were all great!Thanks again!Mark

Love this place. They always remember who I am and my dog's name as we are walking in. Vets are very knowledgeable, personable and caring. They handle everything from exotic pets to dogs and cats. It's always fun to see all the different animals that come in. I highly recommend them.

The staff are wonderful... absolutely wonderful. However, our vet who knew little about sugar gliders should have never operated on our little girl. The doctor assured us a 90% success rate on her surgery. We got her back paralyzed and dying. We paid $1000 for the death of our girl... plus another $100+ for cremation. What kills us is that the doctor didn't even realize she was paralyzed. Completely incompetent vet. And with the huge bill and broken hearts, we had to listen for weeks as her twin sister cried out for her at night.

Dr. Wolfe has made an impact on our relationship between pet owner and doctor. I come away fully educated about my pet's diagnosis and how it may have come about. He then explains the options for treatment which make it very easy to decide which treatment is best for us. Dr. Wolfe has demonstrated exceptional patient/doctor relationship skills that make me feel confident about bringing my dog into his care.

I have been taking my two cats to Dr. Godfrey for two years now and we drive out from Concord to see her. The cats love her and her staff. My youngest had a limp a couple years ago and I had taken him to three (yes, three!) different vets in my area. Each gave me a different diagnosis, different x-rays, and none were right. He was miserable, I was going broke, and feeling more guilty by the minute. I just knew something wasn't right. I read some reviews and called Dr. Godfrey. She asked, in my opinion, the right questions and diagnosed my little guy with what she thought was a broken hip over the phone and told me to come in right away to make sure. Low and behold she was completely right. One surgery and he was fixed. All the other vets told me he was too young to have such an injury and didn't even look into it. I haven't seen another vet since. I only go to Dr. Godfrey. She's an all bases covered, to the point, excellent diagnostician who has a way with animals that is pretty cool to see. She loves them and they can definitely tell. My cat purred during his check up today. UNREAL. Anyway, I've sent friends with dogs to her and they feel the same way I do about her. If you have a sick pet with what you believe to be a tough case like I did or just need a teeth cleaning, vaccinations, or a check up at a fair price. She's your doctor. I honestly can't thank her enough! My little dude is back to chasing his laser pen at epic speeds and its all thanks to Dr. Godfrey and her amazing staff. They also give a pretty mean kitty hair cut! (See my eldest son pictured the day of his cut and vaccination then a precut photo with both of the little goobers looking healthy, happy, and waiting for a little bath tub wading to beat the heat)

I've been taking my cats to see Dr. Wolf for a few years and he's great! He always explains things thoroughly and has always returned my calls personally when I've had concerns. One of my cats is not exactly what you would call "personable" and even she loves him. She broke her leg a couple years ago and since it was after hours, I took her to an emergency vet in Dublin where she subsequently had surgery. I didn't know they had contacted Dr. Wolf's office until I got a call from a staff member who just wanted to call and let me know they were aware of the situation and to see how things were. I thought that was very thoughtful of them. From the doctors to the staff, this office is amazing! I would highly recommend.

We have been bringing our animals here since we moved to Pleasanton in 1989. Our daughter worked there as a receptionist and later a vet tech and is now a veterinarian herself. Recently we went to Dr. Summer Godfrey who is totally amazing. We have always liked Dr. Wolfe. I would definitely recommend this practice if you care about your pets.

The front desk receptionists are nice but the doctor gives me uneasy feeling. I've decide I would be best taking my kitty somewhere else. The doctor never looks you in the eyes when he speaks. Not only that but he kept telling me to give our diabetic cat Fancy Feast. Seriously my cat was on his death bed until I decide to change his food to Earthborn and he is so much better. When I talked to the doctor about it he just blew me off.

I am so happy a friend recommend Dr. Wolf and staff when my daughter's hamster became lethargic/ill.Based on her hamster's age, I knew it probably wasn't a good sign, but this is part of why we get pets for our children, right? To learn about the cycle of life...Each person during our visit was very kind and compassionate...from the staff who checked us in, to Dr. Wolf. Even his wife, who also works there, made a point to pop in our room and chat with my daughter once we made the decision to euthanize.The visit never felt rushed and every person on staff offered their condolences. I really appreciate the attention and care they provided my daughter during such a delicate moment. She was crying and their empathy was truly needed and appropriate. They were thoughtful enough to provide little cards with her hamster's paw prints on them for us to take home. And a couple of weeks later we received a sympathy card in the mail signed by their staff!My daughter wants to be a vet when she grows up, she decided this at age 3, and this experience will no doubt leave a lasting impression, whatever career path she ultimately chooses. Thank you Dr. Wolf and team.

I had to request a last minute appointment after noticing my dachshund's back and hind legs were stiff. He couldn't moved and cried every time I touched his back. As a first time patient, my dog felt very comfortable (despite being in pain) in the exam room, which never happens. I immediately noticed that the staff is very caring with all the pets and treats them with equal compassion. My biggest concern was that my dog had maybe pinched a nerve or -- worse -- ruptured a disc and needed surgery but Dr. Wolf did an extensive physical exam and told me that he had intense muscle spasms. I was so relieved! Dr. Wolf is an amazing vet and his assistant is just as great. I've never seen my dog respond so positively to a vet before. I highly recommend this place if you're new or visiting the area and need a vet. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

On our first visit the vet tech and the Dr. took a lot of time to make my Australian Shepherd comfortable and to trust them. It was really awesome! He got his vaccines and physical with no issues because he was so comfortable. Great bedside manner. I was given a lot of time to ask questions, which was great too.
I already recommended this vet to my friends!
