Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital

I've been taking my rescued Maltese to Dr. Malek for over 14 years! Linda, the groomer, has always done an outstanding job with not only handling her wiggling but she's always beautiful when I pick her up! Read Less

The best vets! Been going there since it was a tiny office on Auburn Blvd with just Dr Malek. Lots of care & concern. They always have time to squeeze me in. Twice when I've had to put a cat down. They break down costs & go over it with you before doing any tests. They understand not everybody can afford to spend thousands on their pets and don't make you feel guilty like some vets. Read Less

I liked the vet but after 2 visits I have found the front desk staff more interested in chatting together than in being helpful. Borderline rude, too. Haven't decided whether they get a third visit or not. Read Less

Dr. Haas is great and helped me through a hard decision when I had to put my dog, Abbey, to sleep. I would highly recommend Foothill Farms for any of your Vet needs, as well as Linda for your dog grooming needs. I started taking my animals here 4 years ago when I moved to Sacramento and I will always be a customer. Read Less

Took my dog here to get a second opinion since my dogs regular vet was booked and the other vet we went to could not figure out what was wrong with my dog. The Dr. here figured out what was wrong with my dog in 4minutes just by examining him. We had such a great experience here and now my dog is all better  . We were referred to this place which is like a 20-30 min drive for us. If my dog didn't already have a good veterinarian we would be coming here. I'm glad I have a secondary vet now for when my regular vet is unable to see him. Thank you! Read Less

Unfortunately our first experience with this veterinary hospital was to have our French Bulldog cremated. We were on our way out of town and after checking on him we realized he had passed away in his sleep. My husband was very upset for this was his best buddy for 13 years. I called Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital and asked if they did cremation. I talked to a very nice and straightforward receptionist name Regina. When we got there the service was quick and again straightforward no questions asked. They took our pup into the back and quietly we paid our bill they gave their condolences and we were on our way to out-of-town. In the next week we received two sympathy cards. One had our precious Bulldogs footprints on them. That meant a lot to my husband and I that they did that. Thank you for your services Foothill Farms! We will be back with our gorgeous doberman to see you soon. Read Less

I came here a few months ago to have my new puppy neutered as my current vet did not have any soon appointments available. They were quick, passionate and provided great customer service and took wonderful care of my puppy.Unfortunately, my elder chihuahua passed away a month ago so I immediately brought her to this office to be cremated. Within a few days, I was sent a beautiful card with her doggy paw prints inside from the staff. I picked up her ashes a week later and they made me a garden stone, imprinted with her paw prints and her name engraved! I was speechless! They go above and beyond and I am so thankful for them. I will always cherish the beautiful garden stone. Read Less

We have brought our pets here for over 10 years. The staff is knowledgeable and skilled, and the facility is very clean. I love to see the windows of cats waiting for adoption. Be sure to get a cost estimate in advance of services, and check to make sure the final bill matches the estimate. Read Less

My cat had diabetes and a failing liver. He was near death. They kept him two days in the hospital and he was his old self when he came back. Since then we've started him on insulin and he's doing very well. They saved his life! They have never steered me wrong and I highly recommend them. Read Less

My family and I have been clients of Foothill Farms Vet since I was a kid. I absolutely LOVE this place. They have always been caring and helpful and loving towards all of the pets we have brought in over the years. They are informative and understanding and listen to you. My little Bailey absolutely LOVES everyone there. :) Read Less

My family and I have been coming to Foothill for many years. The new building is very nice and very clean.A few weeks ago, we unfortunately had to say goodbye to our 16 year old chihuahua. The staff was so nice and sweet during this difficult process. Yesterday we received a card in the mail from the Doctors and staff at Foothill. They even made us her little paw prints! It was a very nice surprise, and I'm so thankful that I get to keep her tiny feet forever. I can't thank you guys enough for this special gift! I always have and I always will highly recommend Foothill Farms. Read Less

I agree with a recent review. I have been going to this vet for about 10+ years now. Since they moved to their new clinic most of their nice staff has moved on, and their prices have gone up a lot. I miss when they were a humble vet clinic. Although, you will never have to worry about your pets care. They are excellent with animals, very loving and attentive. Just not so much with the humans anymore. Read Less

I love how they care about their patients to include the human parents. We have been going here for years and even though the old location was closer, the new facility is gorgeous! Keep up the good work and dedication! Read Less

We have been taking our dogs here for a few years and they are the best. Their new location is so spacious. All the new staff are just as friendly and good with the pets as the older staff are. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. It's at a convenient location and your pet will love the staff and the doctors. Read Less

Words cannot express how grateful I am thank you so much for saving my little baby. Your whole team was amazing and saving the life of what some people would call a dog I call her my guardian angel my child she is my service animal she provides emotional and mental stability for myself thank you so very much God bless each and everyone of you. Read Less

Been going to Dr Malick since he started at Foot Hill Farms, Now they've moved to a stellar office. Dog waiting room, cat waiting room. Exam rooms for both dogs and cats. There's an area they have kitties adoptions. I would never consider taking my fur babies any where else. Read Less

I had to take my hot dog in because her toenail grew into her paw. I felt like a horrible momma!!! My hot dog was in pain!!! The doc didn't shame me!!! He made me feel comfortable & was gentle w/ my girl!!! Extremely grateful 4 their kindness & understanding!! My hot dog is back 2 her silly happy ways!!! Read Less

The staff are all a fun group of people who have an obvious Love of Animals. Our rabbit's neuter was reasonably priced how many of the other services are a little bit on the higher end however they are quite convenient and very friendly. Read Less

Dr. Noack took a very stressful and scary situation for us and made it as smooth as possible. He was friendly and caring and thorough and I felt like my dog was in great hands. The location itself is beautiful and clean and even has some retail products available for purchase. Read Less

Five days into living in Sacramento, they have taken fine care of my sweet babes. Dr. Hoss is wonderful and Linda the groomer made my sweet Frank look like the handsome boss he was meant to be! Best groomer out there!Read Less

Best vets in the area! Dr. Malek has been there for my dog through thick and thin. Never tries to sell us on unnecessary supplies/tests, only what is in the true best interest of my pup. Wouldn't take her anywhere else! Read Less

Our Great Pyrenees was constantly licking his paw, to the point where it was very hot and red. He was also creating hot spots on his rear leg. We went to our "regular" vet who tried to help but did not diagnosis anything, was ineffective and could not see us again for awhile. So we called Foothill Farms. Got in to see the Vet that day, who quickly diagnosed the problem and prescribed a course of treatment that treated the infection and underlying condition. the rpices for visit and tratment were reasonable. The vet answered all our questions during the course of treatment and the office followed up on the care, providing us with a free follow-up visit to make sure all was OK. I can say that we now have a new regular vet! Thank you to all the staff there! Read Less

Our Great Pyrenees was constantly licking his paw.  It was very hot and red.  We went to our "regular" vet who did not diagnose anything and had not time to see us when it appeared to get worse.  So we called Foothill Farms.  Got in the same day.  The vet quickly diagnosed the problem and probable underlying condition.  He prescribed a course of treatment that was not cheap, but whose cost was fair/reasonable as compared to other vet clinics we have been to over the years.  And it worked!!  The vet/staff answered all our questions during the course of treatment, and called to follow up on his progress.  They even scheduled a free follow-up visit to see how he was doing after two weeks.  We were very impressed.  Guess we have a new "regular vet"!Thank you to Dr. Noack and the staff at FFVH.

I hate tyo give a bad review but my experience with foothill farms goes way back... When I first went to them they were awesome, This is many years ago. They were all about the animals and it was a good price. Since they have moved to this facility they are all about what they can bill you for. Period/ Read Less

We have been bringing our pets to Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital since 1988. We have had both dogs and cats and all have been treated well, I've never had a problem getting an appointment or being seen in a reasonable amount of time. Prices are reasonable. All the staff has been friendly and knowledgeable. When my pets had a problem , it was always diagnosed and treated correctly. I highly recommend this veterinary hospital. Read Less

Wonderful staff and  veterinarian Dr and they were very patient with my spaz lab which is 100 pounds with no manners. Fair prices and will go back again with my other fur babies. Very happy with the care Read Less

I have been going to Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital for many years. My pets have seen all of the doctors and they are all wonderful. The staff is so welcoming and efficient. Recently my little Swayze had a back injury and his back legs were paralyzed. Dr Daryani was the doctor we saw and I cannon say enough good about her. She was thorough, kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and she took such good care of Swayze. He now has full use of his back legs. Under her care he has regained his active lifestyle and has even lost weight. Thank you Dr. Daryani and Dr. Malek for the service to this community. You are the absolute best!! Read Less

This place always meets or exceeds my expectations! They treat my Fur babies as if they are their own! I always feel like a member of the family when I go there! I would recommend this veterinarian office to absolutely anybody! Dr. Noack and his staff are amazing!!!!! Read Less

All of the folks at Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital are caring people. They have taken care of our cat on numerous occasions. We have been going to them for over 15 years. Recently our cat stayed at the "Cat Condo Hotel". He is spoiled there and loves it!!! Thanks to everyone from Tiger and his parents. Read Less

Dr.Malek and his staff are highly professional yet personable - keeping that small town atmosphere.  I've been a client for over 10 years working with ferret rescue and also my own recent addition, a Yorkie terrier.  Dr.Malek is able to "tell it as it is" in a way that doesn't talk down to you. I highly recommend Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital to anyone requiring pet health assistance. Read Less

Our dogs love FFVH! We have a couple of "special needs"  pups who generally hate going anywhere. After being patients of Dr. Malek , Dr. Clifton and Dr. Noack,  they go bee- bopping in there like they own the place! Everyone stops to say "Hello" and always takes time to give them individual attention. The office manager, front counter staff, techs, boarding help, groomers- EVERYONE is friendly and knowledgeable. With 6 dogs, we have had many visits and have never received anything but professional, compassionate and reasonably priced care.I have recommended FFVH to many, many people. As we all know, Veterinary care is expensive and not many of us have extra money to throw around. One of the best selling points about FFVH is the responsible way they charge for care. On a number of occasions, I have seen Dr. Malek "triage" the waiting room by offering, simple home care options like over the counter meds as an alternative. Example: a dog with a swollen snout from a bee sting. The owner was advised to give Benedryl and was not charged for an office visit. I frequently compare them to "an old Country Vet", and can't count how many times I've heard, "If it was my dog, here's what I would do". You cant get better care than that!! Read Less

Dr Malek is amazing! We have had him throughout the years with 5 dogs. We have always trusted his opinion and he is the perfect mix of attentive care and cost saving measures. We have had vets that always want to go the most expensive route first. I can trust that if Dr. Malek says it needs to happen then it is necessary. That is huge when it comes to veterinary expenses. We have since moved, but still travel almost an hour to bring our dogs here. Read Less

I love this place!I've recently moved from Sacramento and I prefer to use a vet that's closest to my home for my two dogs (one is a senior and ones a puppy.)I have used two local vets and I was unhappy with both of them. One of them, while competent, I felt I wasn't getting the best care or straight answers to my questions. The second vet I tried for my puppy seemed to have a flagrant disregard for the precautions I was taking to keep my puppy safe from Parvovirus before fully vaccinated, in addition to not allowing me in the exam room during administration of vaccines (even just to ask questions.)This vet came highly recommended by a close friend and I'm never looking back! Not only did all the techs answer all my questions when I called to ask about pricing, but they were extremely helpful and informative during my visit. It was most appreciated. I haven't had a puppy in several years and some of the things to think about and look for concerning my dog's health are good to be reminded of or discussed with the veterinarian. One thing I also really appreciated about this business is that I showed up 15 minutes prior to my appointment time and my dog was seen at her scheduled time. It's so nice to know that I will have my dog seen at his or her scheduled time, rather than whenever the staff gets around to it, despite my showing up early to fill out any needed paperwork.  At the previous places I brought my dogs I sometimes would not be seen for 10-45 minutes past my scheduled appointment even when showing up early or on time. Furthermore, I really feel that the pricing at this vet is very fair. I've compared it to my previous two vets and they are pretty average with pricing. The staff is super friendly, the facility is absolutely clean and tidy.  I can also tell that they have a lot of structure to their business practices just based on what I observed during my time there. I'm very happy with this Vet and will recommend to friends. Read Less

I have used Dr. Malek's services since 1997. He has assisted me in the care of many animals including cats, dogs, chickens, skunks, and even one time a love bird. I cannot imagine going elsewhere. He is kind, loving, and sincere with the animals. Thank you for all you have done for our family. Read Less

Everyone here is very nice, they have great patience. The overall environment makes me feel at home, the new facility is a great upgrade to the quality of service you recieve at this place. I have recieved service above and beyond what my cat, Benjamin, needed and will recommend Dr. Malek to everyone!Read Less
