Finding a good vet that is at a privately owned hospital has been a challenge and after reading their website and hearing good things from a couple of colleagues, I drove over an hour each way for appointments with each of my dogs. I saw Dr. Cauvel and was very impressed with his knowledge, he recognized it was better for me to handle my super excitable malinois vs have her go into the back for her vaccination, and most importantly, when I presented him with a more complex issue on one of my dogs and I presented my thoughts, he didn't treat me like my background was somehow a threat like I have experienced before. He went out of his way to review some information and photos I emailed after the appointment and we decided on what to try. I was really thrilled with my experience with this vet at this practice with both of my dogs, and despite the drive will definitely be coming back for future needs.

I strongly advise against trusting this clinic with any major surgery. I brought my rescue cat here…read morefor treatment of nose cancer, which they had already diagnosed as being present throughout his entire nose. Despite this, they completely ignored one side of his nose during treatment and committed multiple acts of severe professional negligence. 1. Failure to Follow Agreed Treatment Plan: I paid for and consulted on an aggressive, complete nose removal. The consulting veterinarian explicitly stated that the surgery "would be a waste" unless the entire nose was removed because leaving any cancer behind would cause it to return aggressively. Instead, a general practice surgeon--whom I was never permitted to speak with--made a unilateral mid-surgery decision to perform a minimal "scrape," leaving 2/3 of the tumor and visible cancerous bulbs intact. 2. Complete Violation of Informed Consent: If the surgeon did not feel capable or comfortable performing the agreed-upon nose removal once my cat was sedated, they had a strict medical and ethical obligation to call me from the operating room. By failing to contact me, they denied me my legal right to decline a substandard procedure, wake my cat up, and immediately transfer him to a qualified veterinary oncologist or specialist who could perform the surgery correctly. 3. Total Lack of Post-Operative Communication: When I picked up my cat after major surgery, the clinic provided absolutely zero communication or discharge instructions. I had to discover via text message that they failed to complete the agreed-upon service. They then falsely claimed the cancer was only on one side, directly contradicting their own previous diagnosis and what was clearly visible. Because of their failure to remove the tumor as promised, the cancer returned with extreme aggression. I had to euthanize my cat because this clinic robbed him of his only opportunity to receive a proper, complete surgery from a qualified professional. I have the full text message logs, emails, and images confirming this timeline. A formal complaint regarding this professional negligence and failure to obtain informed consent is being filed directly with the State Veterinary Board. Do not trust them with your animal's life. Response to owner : There is a fundamental difference between a "medically complex" adjustment and a complete change in surgical scope without owner consent. The explicit, documented purpose of Tom Tom's consultation was a complete nose removal. I was explicitly told by your staff that a partial removal or "minimal scrape" would not be effective given the aggressive nature of his cancer. Yet, while he was sedated, Dr. Eileen made the unilateral decision to pivot to a minimal scrape, leaving active cancerous bulbs behind, without ever calling me to get my informed consent. By failing to call me from the operating room, you denied me my legal right as a client to decline a sub-standard procedure. Had I been contacted, I would have immediately instructed the clinic to wake him up so I could transfer him to a qualified veterinary oncologist or specialist who was capable of performing the agreed-upon surgery. Furthermore, your clinic attempted to retain 100% of the funds for a complete nose removal until I forced accountability through a series of extensive emails. Your own text message records confirm that the surgeon only focused on one side of the nose, directly contradicting the agreed-upon treatment plan. This is a clear issue of professional negligence and a failure to obtain informed consent, not a misunderstanding of "expectations." I will not be having further private discussions with management to help cover up this clinic's lack of informed consent. The time for discussion was when Tom Tom was on the operating table. All further correspondence from me will be handled directly through the formal complaint I am filing with the State Veterinary Board.

Exceptional Groomer - A True Asset to Any Breeding Program…read moreGolden Paw Styles is hands down the best pet groomer I've ever worked with, and an absolute gem for my breeding business. As a one-on-one, no-stress groomer, she provides an environment that is calm, patient, and incredibly nurturing--something that is critical for young puppies. She gives my puppies their very first grooming experience, and I cannot overstate how positive and impactful that experience is. She takes the time to gently introduce them to grooming sounds, sensations, and handling in a way that builds confidence rather than fear. Because of her care and expertise, my puppies leave relaxed, happy, and well-exposed, setting them up for lifelong success. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for the animals she works with truly show in every appointment. I trust her completely with my dogs and my litters, and that trust is not given lightly. If you are looking for a groomer who prioritizes your dog's emotional well-being, provides a stress-free experience, and treats every animal as an individual, Golden Paw Styles comes with my highest recommendation. She is an invaluable part of my program, and I am incredibly grateful for the care she provides.

When our cat Basil was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, they walked us through everything with so much patience and kindness answering every question we had, no matter how small, without ever making us feel judged.

You can feel the genuine care in every interaction. Special shoutout to Alma who has been an excellent tech/assistant to basil since she was first diagnosed and hospitalized earlier this year. If you're looking for a vet that will treat your pet like family and support you as an owner every step of the way, look no further. We're so grateful to have found them!!

The staff and the veterinarian Dr. Zhead are truly amazing and genuinely care about animals. I woke up one morning to find my cat mouth breathing with his tongue sticking out. This was one of the few local clinics open on a Sunday morning and miraculously had an appointment available so I rushed over here after calling them. The vet tech and veterinarian himself took such fast action upon my arrival but sadly my cat did not make it. It was a very sad and emotional time for me but everyone was very considerate and caring. I was allowed to grieve and cry my eyes out of sadness for my unexpected loss. My cat had reached a senior age and lived a good life.

There is no kitten package or new patient discount offered, unlike other veterinary hospitals/clinics. We paid over $1,000 for two cats under one year old for a wellness exam, rabies shot, vaccines, nail trim, ear cleaning, and medications. It's nice that they offered a better flea medication, dietary suggestions, and taught me how to trim their nails as a new cat owner. When the doctor offered an estimated cost of spaying my younger cat, my jaw dropped at how ridiculous it is, $1,516 total to cover an exam, anesthesia, injections, medication, IV & fluid administration, and more. I prefer to go somewhere else for half the estimated cost. Expect them to be on hold with the receptionists since they are busy with phone calls. I even had to wait 15 minutes to check in for my appointment when I arrived right on time. I also have to wait a while to give a stool sample while Paulette finishes her call with clients. They should have a stool sample box to drop in, like in hospitals. Good for a one-time exam with a responsive appointment set up, since they open from 8 am to 8 pm every day.

Two of my dogs have been diagnosed Worng and the only reason it's open is because the owner of this place is the mayor of Fremont LOL I went in just to get flea medication for my dog. They told me an exam was required first. They took my dog to the back, and when the doctor came out, he told me my dog had a Stage 4 heart murmur and that it could get worse within about seven months. I went home crying, thinking my dog was seriously sick. I decided to get a second opinion at another veterinary clinic. The second vet said they did not hear any heart murmur at all. They also did an X-ray, and everything came back normal. What's even more concerning is that when the new clinic requested my dog's medical records, there was no mention of a heart murmur in the records. This experience caused unnecessary fear and stress for me and my dog. Please be careful and consider getting a second opinion if something doesn't feel right.
