She is kind beyond words, compassionate, skilled and practical -- attributes we all wished we had in our own physicians and certainly attributes that make someone a fabulous veterinarian. She is great with all our animals' preventative care, has coordinated with specialty veterinarians when we've needed and has demonstrated the most extraordinary grace and sensitivity in those very sad situations when we have had to "say goodbye" to a beloved pet. If you love your animals like family, this is the care they deserve.

Truly Lives Up to Its Name!…read more Once again, Wise and Wonderful took excellent care of Charlie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Their new office space is open, clean, and absolutely lovely. It's clear they've created a welcoming environment for both pets and their people. A special thank-you to Rebecca, who was so kind and gentle with Charlie. She offered him treats and, just as importantly, respected his limits when he'd had enough of his ear cleaning. That kind of patience, compassion, and understanding means everything when it comes to caring for our furry family members. It's not just the quality of care that makes this place special; it's the genuinely wonderful people behind it. You can tell they truly care about the animals they treat, and that makes all the difference. Thank you, Wise and Wonderful, for taking such amazing care of Charlie, once again! Your name says it all. We're so grateful to have you caring for our furry friends!

She arrived on time, gently explained every step of the process, and treated us and our 17-year-old cat with kindness, patience, and compassion. Having someone come to our home brought us so much relief because we did not want to place any additional stress on our cat during her final moments. Jeannie helped make an incredibly painful experience feel calm and peaceful. Our cat passed away quietly in our arms, surrounded by the people who loved her. Jeannie's warmth and compassion meant more to us than words express. I would highly recommend her to any family facing this difficult decision.

I was pet sitting my daughters cat and he was just not acting right. I drove straight to Mayfair…read moreand waited until they opened. The vet saw me immediately and confirmed my gut feeling was right but was very honest and open that they felt there was a strong possibility he was blocked and would need surgery and suggested I go to UC Davis or SPEC immediately. They did not charge me as they knew that I would be spending a fortune at emergency and because they had only gave him a quick look over. I am grateful for their advice because the cat was indeed blocked and we caught it in time before it did kidney damage or required surgery. My grandkitty ended up needing an overnight at UCD and is now healthy again. I wish this place was open more days of the week because it is a much more affordable option than going straight to emergency but with most vets around here having 2+ week waits for non emergency appointments.

This is something no one ever wants to do, but if we bring furbabies into our hearts and homes, we'll likely have to do it at some point. The last thing I wanted to do was to traumatize my terminally ill kitty with a car ride to a cold, sterile vet's office (no offense to any vets) like I've had to in the past. After doing research, Dr. Noe was reasonably priced (although that's not necessarily super important in these situations), quick to respond, professional, and compassionate. She clearly explained what would be happening and allowed us to set the pace. Nothing happened until we were ready - including our final goodbye. Even better, when it was finally time to leave, Frankie was placed into a basket and tucked in with a blanket he would've loved. His passing was peaceful, respectful and surrounded by love. **The photo I'm attaching is him before they left. He looks like he's taking a quiet nap and I'm so happy to remember him this way.**

Any dog that gets to come live at the Big Dog Rescue has hit the jackpot. Although it's not a…read moreforever home, it is a gorgeous sanctuary for dogs to leave the streets and shelter for some decompression in Sonoma County. My dog Cherly was a homeless hound from Oklahoma who lived at the Big Dog Rescue for a year and a half of her life. Cheryl saved my girl and gave her a chance even though no one wanted her as she was one of their long term residents. This peaceful palace is a fully fenced sanctuary. Cheryl (the owner) and staff has put so much love and care into her passions. They dogs she's rehabilitated, the care they receive, they support they get. You have to be one lucky pup to be at the Big Dog. My dog loves coming back to the Big Dog for visits. She's super excited and happy. Cheryl wants to make sure her dogs are going to the home that is the perfect match. She will carefully screen as every rescue should do. I've read some of the 1 star reviews on here. And Cheryl is right, dogs are not ment to spend hours outside. What if it's hot? She is correct and has every right to be concerned where her dogs are placed. If you are not a good fit of she is not comfortable with your household, then I'm sure there is another match out there waiting for you to save them.

We have been thinking about adopting a dog for a long time. When we thought we were ready, we…read morelooked online and found a dog we liked. He was listed as available at Big Dog Rescue. I filled up the application and I received a one-liner response: "he is gone". I asked for a different dog and the answer was "gone too". I believe my application was a disaster, because I had no clue of what you are supposed to do with a dog and I wrote what I thought we would do. After researching the topic, I can see why they would not consider us for adoption with that application ;-) However, I wrote back asking to speak with them to understand why they did not spend more than a second to reply (I was looking for some suggestions on if we are ok to adopt or if we should not even bother). They never answered. I guess they are great with dogs but have a problem with humans.

We had a great first month at Olivet Kennel with our dog, Jack…read more The staff and owner do an excellent job caring for our 90 lbs Tamaskan. We like that the staff understands Jack and are careful not to overwhelm him with too many other dogs all at once. They are taking a careful and tailored approach for Jack, which is exactly what we were hoping for when we started with the daycare program. I met the owner, Wendy, the other day when I picked Jack up from daycare. She was checking in on the dogs and staff. She is kind, caring, and seems to be very knowledgeable about all kinds of dog breeds and behaviors. The office staff also deserves positive feedback, they kindly changed my daycare appointment today at no extra cost when I couldn't make the appointment. It's also the reason for writing this positive review today. Overall, Olivet Kennel is a professional run facility with an online booking system that still feels like a family business that you can trust. The kennel is clean and inviting. So far, we are very happy with their service!

Be very cautious!…read more My dog got very sick after staying here and almost died. The manager Stephanie admitted that this season was very active. It seems unprofessional to let sick dogs stay there but I guess they just care about money. Also I had prepaid for a daycare package. When I tried to use it they told me that it had expired during the time my dog was sick. I told Stephanie there's no way I could use the prepaid package while my dog was sick. She had not been in contact with any other dogs so I am 100% certain she caught it at Olivet. They never did honor the daycare pass I paid for and told me "sorry but it expired". Seemed odd for them to be so stubborn about a policy after my dog almost died because of them allowing sick dogs to stay there. I paid over $2000 in vet bills because of them and my dog nearly died. You've been warned, proceed with caution.

I couldn't have asked for better therapist and person to bring into my life during the most difficult of times. From our very first session, it's like it was meant to be. She was so incredibly understanding and compassionate. She basically held my hand through all the steps I had to go through, that Capone and I had to go through together. She stood by our side for a year. She guided me, emotionally and spiritually. She taught me how to think rationally when making tough decisions, she celebrated our small wins, she talked to me through the darkest of times, all the vet visit, radiation treatments, times filled with tears and guilt. She honored the bond Capone and I have. She helped me stay strong. she taught me to write down what I was feeling, she showed me techniques to get through moments when I would be alone. she constantly checked in and made sure I kept in touch. She held space and even cried with me. And after everything was all said and done, she was still right there, spiritually and emotionally by Capone and my side. She has so much experience with animals both in the veterinary field and as a fur mama herself. I could not have asked for anyone better to be by my side, to share Capone and my journey with. I am forever grateful, and truly honored to have met her. She has a very special gift and an even more beautiful heart. I couldn't recommend her enough. This is exactly what she was born to do. To Cara, Today, 4.16.24, marks the one year anniversary since Capone transitioned. I just wanted to reach out and tell you I am forever grateful for all of your love and support through that really hard time. Thank you for showing up for Capone and I, thank you for selflessness, thank you for your patience, thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your beautiful heart and thank you for being the incredible friend you are! Couldn't have done it without you! Sending all the love and hugs your way! LOVE YOU
