Absolutely do NOT recommend VCA Old River Animal Hospital. They have changed for the worse…read more Their system "glitched" and somehow deleted my dog's long-standing auto-ship medication that had been on file with Dr. Jackson, who was AMAZING. Of course, Dr. Jackson has now left, and everything has gone downhill since. Now the "general manager" -- who is not a veterinarian -- decided to play doctor and tell me that my dog's condition, pannus (chronic superficial keratitis, scar tissue/cloudiness in BOTH eyes), isn't a chronic condition. That is flat-out wrong. Pannus IS chronic and requires lifelong management. I'm sorry, but where did you get your veterinary license to make medical decisions? Instead of simply continuing an established treatment plan that has already been diagnosed, documented, and treated for, they now want me to: Cancel all my existing plans Schedule a visit with another doctor Pay AGAIN Just to be told the exact same thing: Yes, he has pannus. Yes, it's chronic. Yes, he needs ongoing medication. This is a complete waste of time, completely unnecessary stress for my dog, and feels like nothing more than a money-making scheme. This hospital used to be great. Now it's disorganized, dismissive, and more interested in billing than patient care. Losing Dr. Jackson clearly took the quality of care with him. Highly disappointed. Highly frustrated. Highly do NOT recommend.

I am so pleased with my experience at The Pet Advocate! I…read morebooked a dental cleaning for my dog, Zero, and needed to reschedule it a couple of times, but the office staff was very understanding and flexible. Once I finally was able to commit to a date, the correspondence I received from TPA was clear and helpful. I was told when to begin restricting food/water, what time to arrive, and the details of the check-in process. As directed, I arrived by 8am and notified office staff. I was quickly greeted by the vet tech, Jill, who was absolutely the best. Jill was warm, patient, and knowledgeable. She let me see where the procedure would be preformed and where Zero would be held, and explained when/why she would call (if blood work was concerning, if it wasn't safe to sedate, if they had suggested extractions). Despite being nervous, Jill definitely helped me feel better about leaving my boy in her care. Since his bloodwork was fine, the next time I heard from Jill was when she called to share suggested extractions. She briefly reviewed the dentition of a dog, explained where there were areas of concern in Zero's mouth, and was able to give me monetary figures when asked. She took time to consider my follow-up questions and I felt the interaction was professional while being empathetic and frank. At no time did I feel that she was trying to upsell me or otherwise get more money out of me. When I picked Zero up, Jill came out holding him. She sat with me and reviewed his bloodwork line by line, his X-rays, and showed me before and after pictures of his teeth. She also provided me with clearly labeled medications. We talked about food and general aftercare, including what I might observe, and I felt comfortable about heading home. We are now at the tail end of recovery and Zero has done fantastic, and I truly attribute a lot of that to Jill & her efforts. Thank you!

I have mixed feelings about this place. They are very high volume so they can get pretty busy…read more Their check in/check out process is a little confusing and you can't just walk in and give them your information. You have to wait in lines and then continue to wait for someone to come out to talk to you. When weighing my puppy, he was very excited and we couldn't get a good weight on him, which ranged from 38-41 lbs. The tech randomly called his weight 41.2 lbs. I didn't think anything of it until I went to pay the bill and realized WHY they chose that number; 41 lbs is the next weight bracket and higher cost. I asked for him to be re weighed and they said they would when he was sedated and refund any costs if he's under 41 lbs. When I went to pick him up, I asked about the weight and the person at the desk was confused and said they, "probably weighed him. But it shows 41.2 lbs on his chart." I told them that was a guess they did earlier. She didn't care and basically moved me along. I was very annoyed and felt like they purposefully tried to get more money out of us. They also charge for a medical cone and pain meds. How is that not included?! Once it was all said and done, total cost was about $290. This is not that much cheaper than a standard vet and you don't get the same care as your usual vet. However, since this puppy was from a rescue and a foster, my options were limited. I had even mentioned he's a foster and they still did not care to double check his weight. When running a rescue, every dollar counts and I was a bit annoyed by this. Overall, however, my puppy is healing nicely but they did a poor job with his surgical tape and glued part of his thigh skin to the incision site, which meant it was pulling until it had dissolved. It's a conveyor belt type clinic so if that's all you want, then you'll be fine with it but I don't think I would take my regular pets here if I could. Just my opinion.

Our dog Mochi recently started having seizures (two of which happened at Jules Vet) that seem to be caused by anxiety / stress. Jules vet has gone the extra mile to make sure his appointments since then are as stress free and comfortable as possible for him. We had an appointment yesterday and I was worried he'd have another seizure. They called in advance and had a plan in place to make sure all went smoothly (which it did). Dr. Olsen is amazing and has helped walk us through this new journey of having a pet with epilepsy. She has helped put our minds at ease and educated us on how to care for him if he has another one and we will continue to monitor him in case he needs anything else. We really appreciate Dr. Olsen and the Jules Vet team so much. It is evident that they love animals and care about every patient they see. Thanks again Jules Vet!

This seems like a bit of a repetitive review…read more The good: Very clean. Very nice. Great hours and availability. The docs seem to know what's going on. They have a lot of staff on hand and specific prescription food. Their response for prescriptions to send out to Chewy is also very fast. The bad: Most of the time I call and they answer and ask me to hold (unless it' an emergency). I hold and hold ... and HOLD. In fact I have held sometimes over 20 minutes and nobody every comes back to help me. Just because it's not an emergency and I am willing to hold that does not mean FOREVER! After you help your customer in line then it's my turn please. Oh also, you had better have a LOT of money because this place will not start with the basic things. They immediately head right to the easiest way to make as much money as possible. Cat got a wheeze and lost a couple pounds? Let's run bloodwork for $650. That all came back fine? Oh ok, then let's do an Xray for $650. All clear there? Doc basically refuses anything else but an exam of the GI for $750. We pass on the GI test and the breathing get's worse. Call back and now they want to start the process over again with chest Xrays for another $650. How about starting out small and do some steroids or an antibiotic first? I guess that's not going to make them enough money. Imagine going into a doctor and saying you have a fever and a cough and they immediately send you in for Xrays and bloodwork and CT scans and an MRI just for the hell of it. Hey Jules ... Not everyone has a money tree in the back yard.

These guys saved my girls life with hours to spare! My female Muppet contracted a uterus infection…read moreafter giving birth to puppies and stopped eating. She was excreting puss from her uterus and was clinging to life. When no other clinic in Sacramento would make time to see her, I reached out to Grantline Veterinary Hospital and despite being over an hour away and fully booked, they showed me compassion and agreed to see my dog. They did a round of X-rays on her, gave her subcutaneous fluids, antibiotics, and sound advice to de-stress her that you don't find online. That was Tuesday evening. I didn't really notice the difference until Wednesday night when she had a full 24 hours of antibiotics and I was able to relocate her pups to a certified whelper. She started eating again, vigorously at that. Her internal puss discharge decreased by 95%, and her energy levels went back to normal. Now not even 66 hours later, I have my old dog back! She's jumping around like the puppy she once was! Thank you Doc! Please listen to these guys. They will save your dogs life!

Really mixed reviews…read more 1st interaction was for a quote to bring my dog in because she chewed her butt raw. They were not the lowest priced but Sam showed genuine compassion for my pup. I brought her in They performed services and prescribed medication. When I paid, I felt very cared for by Sam and Dr. Aman. I had no issues. Easily perfect service, from them and the vet tech who did the work. 5/5* 1 month and 3 days later, I call this business back because I'd like to give them more business- that's what you do when you feel cared for. I'm not gonna bad mouth nobody, but whoever answered today completely turned me off from this place. Sam come train the weekend warrior. You don't tell the customer who states exactly what they want- which is a service you provide, that they have to jump through hoops to get it. (pay for an exam, speak to a doctor and assess if that's what she needs.). I know what my babygirl needs and wanted to go somewhere I thought I could trust. You made me feel like I was talking to a scam artist today. 0/5* My general consensus is that your experience will depend upon the employee you get when you call in. 50/50 for me right now but I'm unsure if I'll bring Kiona back after this call for a routine ear cleaning felt more predatory than caring.
