Dr. Chandler and Jennifer are two of the most compassionate people that I've come across in the…read moreveterinary field. True angels on Earth. I scheduled a hospice consult for my sweet 13 year old lab and received a quick response with a call from Jennifer. Even though I never met Jennifer, I felt like she was holding my hand during the whole process. When it was time for our hospice consult, Dr. Chandler came to our house and assessed our boy along with going over quality of life. She even gave him a treatment before she left to see if it would help his mobility. After the consult, I received a very thorough email from Dr. Chandler giving me a breakdown of my dog's prognosis along with some treatment options. She reached out to other mobile vets on my behalf and provided helpful links for every option of care that she gave me. Jennifer also followed up to check on Oakley to see how he was doing. When it was time to make the decision for me to let him go, I texted Dr. Chandler (after hours on her day off). She still responded. She came out a couple days later to our home and we were able to give him a peaceful goodbye on our lawn, which was his favorite place. Dr. Chandler treated Oakley with such care and dignity from start to finish. Jennifer also called me again to check on my wellbeing a week after we said goodbye. Dr. Chandler reached out to me on a Saturday to let me know she had Oakley. He was ready to return home. She worked with us on getting him back and even went as far as matching the tissue paper to the color of his fur for the packaging. She also included a beautiful dog card along with his name which was handwritten. It lays against the paw print and clipping of his hair she gave us. I hope I provided enough details as to why Love Always is not only the best, but the only option I would ever use when having someone take care of my beloved companions.

So after some research and heavy sad discussions, we found Kelly and Love Always. You're a mess because you are dealing with the worst thing you absolutely don't want to do....but? She made it so amazing. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Kelly was actually available to come earlier than expected ( as we unfortunately needed her to ). She was calm, sweet, patient and soothing. She was so loving with our helping our 19 year old kitty Jet go to her final sleeping place. Every question answered, everything already thought of. She gave us the option to leave her with us, take her/cremate and return, or cremate and have her hang with other amazing pets. We received follow up texts and emails and then finally got this card where the majority of my tears finally came. Luckily I had posted our initial experience, a pal saw and was able to help another pal, Puck, help take his final nap Thank you SO Kelly and Love Always. Highly recommend. And finally able to post with way less tears....barely

Miko tore his ACL in his back left leg. I booked the appointment over a month ago because they are…read morebooked out. so before Even arriving they got Mikos name wrong on his profile. They also require a $100 deposit. I called back a few days later because I made an appointment at a different animal rehabilitation center for Miko that had much sooner availability. They told me that a refund was out of the question in a very stern way. When me and Miko walked in the building on the inside, it looked clean and quiet. I appreciated the fact that there was no wait once we got there. Me and Miko get put into a room and the vet had either the flu or a cold. And to be honest really shouldn't have been working. the young woman who was helping her was much less sweet to Miko than the other assistants were at the other rehabilitation center. The entire time he was there I don't think the assistant gave him one pet. I found that extremely weird but she did have a professional attitude. while we were there, they called my vet to get access to Miko's pet records. they were starting to review them as I was in the room, which I also felt just wasn't up to par. I think that they should've reviewed his records prior to us arriving that way I didn't have to sit there while they shifted through old records. Most of what I was being told, I had already talked about with the other physical rehab center, which I had already mentioned to them, and so they told me majority of my appointment would be red light therapy and some exercise. That wasn't really the case. I will say that it was relieving and gave me peace of mind to know that They didn't find anything out of the ordinary when evaluating him. when the assistant did do the red light therapy she seemed like she was in a rush, not kind, not warm not affectionate just doing her job. Miko was clearly feeling a little shy and she really didn't have much sympathy for it. anyways I'm glad I went but I have no intention of coming back. Please consider before going here that everything that they are going to tell you, including exercises can be done at home. This is really only worth it if you don't have the bandwidth or ability to do very simple exercises with your dog at home. The only actual benefit or difference That is here is the red light therapy and the underwater treadmill. Even the written report for Miko was a pretty generic.

They were clear in the beginning that they operate sepratelty and that was super helpful to know. The staff was super friendly and the kind- they were honest with us when it came to what could be done or what was needed for our pup and possible options for moving forward. My only complaint is that some of the front desk staff have a tendency to malinger and chat with you in the front. When I come in I am very open for small talk but there have been a couple of times I've come in and I felt like we were almost being held hostage with small talk. One day checkout took about 25 min, when it really should have taken half that. I simply just didn't have the time. I appreciate the friendliness, but I would also appreciate the social awareness as well. Just make sure you pad your appointment times with some extra time to chat as well.

Dr. Williams, thank you for your response to my recent review. You indicated in your response two…read morethings that I believe highlight my issues with your practice. 1. You prefer patients get medication at your clinic. So do I, you prescribed pregabalin for Tess that is hard to find, your clinic doesn't fill it and prices range from 300 down to 34. Chewy doesn't have it. All I needed was for your staff to ok the fill over the phone with no additional paperwork. This involved checking the prescription on the computer and authorizing it. They said no twice even after contacting a manager. 2. You were Charlie's PTP. You had all his records, ordered tests and handled some of his routine follow-up while he was being treated at UC Davis. We spent thousands of dollars at your clinic on Charlie for tests. UC Davis indicated within 5 minutes of me taking him there that he had a pronounced heart murmur. He had been seen at your clinic only one week before. I don't know if you listened to his heart, but Davis was very surprised that our vet had not caught the murmur. Charlie had endocarditis, we will never know if catching it earlier would have made any difference but the endless scans to his abdomen and numerous blood tests were financially very difficult and in the end heartbreaking and unnessary. I would have appreciated if some common sense could have been used given Tess" prescription as what you prescribed is not easy to obtain, and that a more thorough routine exam of Charlie could have been done prior to running expensive tests. These pets are loved family members. Thank you

We are bringing our Puppy in for a Follow up for 3 months ago, our puppy had heart surgery, so we have been here a few times now, coming from Stockton. Worth the drive for a pet that you would call a family member. The campus grounds are super clean, lots of wildlife, birds, squirrels, etc. Not sure if they take any animal in, or if you have to have a referral, like we did from our local vet. And they were alot cheaper then the vet and had more openings.

I brought my dog here for emergency surgery after a serious injury to his leg. My local vet…read morereferred us there and had called ahead, so they were expecting us and had 2+ hours notice we were coming. (6PM arrival) Fast forward another 4+ hours to 10:30 PM. We finally get to talk to a resident, Dr. Olivia Taubenfeld, who tells me she doesn't think it's a degloving injury - without even examining him yet. I tell her I don't what that is, but describe seeing exposed tendons, ligaments, and possibly bone (which is also what I described when admitting him hours before.) Another 2+ hours go by and they finally examine him. (1AM) Dr. Taubenfeld's report? Degloving injury. Had anyone bothered to look under the temporary bandage put on by the first local vet, or even listened to my description of his wound, they would have seen and understood the severity of the injury. Now they're recommending amputation and treatment options have changed drastically because they neglected seeing him for so long. After getting a second opinion, I decide to pull him out of this hospital so he can get proper care. I'm told they'll do a wound cleaning first thing in the morning. I communicate persistently all day, making sure they're aware of my intention to transfer him that afternoon. I go to pick him up at 4 PM - they haven't cleaned his wound yet. I wait hours, desperate to get him out of there and to a vet who has the capacity to give him proper care and attention. At one point (6 PM) I can hear him crying and whining from behind one of their exam room doors. Apparently, they finally got around to cleaning his wound, only without proper sedation and pain management. Torture. Soon after, they bring him out of that room to me. While I'm carrying him to leave, as soon as we get outside, he starts peeing in my arms. (Sweet boy waited until he was outside.) I place him down, and he stands there peeing for I swear at least one 1 minute. His bladder had to be completely full. Had they even let him relieve himself the 24 hours he was there?! I will never bring another animal here.
