The Dr was polite but refused to entertain these ideas and insisted it was caused by fleas since he wasn't on flea meds.

I get letters in the mail a few weeks later saying I have an outstanding balance. Then I get multiple phone calls about it as well. I asked what was wrong since I paid in full but apparently I used the wrong coupon so they needed me to pay the $10. For a coupon they gave me...that I didn't ask about or insist about. I paid the $10 to get them off my back but was upset that they're being this vicious about $10 and a mistake that they made. Vowed to never go again but now a year later I am being bombarded with emails and calls to bring my cat back. Also, he was allergic to his food. We switched to grain free and all his problems were solved.

They tried to upsell unnecessary services and charge for things that felt pushed just to pad the bill. It's heartbreaking to see what was once a caring local practice turn into this.

On the third night, one of the little guys died suddenly. I called every vet in the area and none could or wanted to help. Frankly, I was not expecting to get any help at all. After all, the goat was dead, but I wanted to know the cause and prevent the other two from shuffling off their mortal coils. We were also very saddened by this. Enter Dr. Varga. I know there are angels because she's one of them. She came, took a look at the goats including Jambo, the one that had died. She then provided a plethora of preventative shots, gave me advice on feeding and care. She also volunteered to take the little guy to Davis for a necropsy. It's hard to explain how grateful I am. As saddened as I was, I felt suported and really felt that she cared deeply about animals. This wasn't just a job for her and for that, I'll always be thankful.

If you want expert pet care and absolutely abysmal lack of awareness, look no further…read more The care is first rate, though pricey, but not any pricier than any other vet. Where I found them horrible is in their attitude. When my 18 year-old cat was dying I wanted him euthanized. I couldn't tell if he were suffering. At first they wanted to schedule me for two days later (WTF?). Then when they told me the price, I told them I could pay more than half, but I'd have to pay the balance *four* days later. The phone receptionist went into "All fees must be paid at the time of service" robot mode. She suggested I start calling around to see if someone else could help me. I don't know if it was the same woman, but one time before the lady answering the phone was kind of snippy. Some people shouldn't be allowed to be on the phone with human beings. My cat? A few hours later he died *writhing* in my arms. I will never, ever, ever forgive them for that. They made a really bad day into the most horrible day in my life--all because they wouldn't wait a couple of days for 60 bucks. I might point out that I had paid them more than $800 over the previous year and a half with no trouble, but suddenly they were treating me like a panhandler out of the gutter. They are good at cat medicine, but absolutely rubbish at dealing with people.. These guys completely blew it. Keep looking.

TLDR: Seem to have a business plan of hiring new veterinarians to save on labor costs without…read moreproviding vital oversight, support, or mentorship, leading to extremely dangerous care choices. This practice burns out young veterinarians, sets them up for failure, and harms patients. I took my animals to this practice 2020-2023. Over that time I noticed a lot of staff turnover and unhappy techs. At a veterinary practice happy employees usually means high quality care. Workers can seldom do their best under harsh labor conditions. Dr Phillips helped initially when my puppy started displaying consistent aggression that did not respond to training, management, sleep schedule changes, exercise changes, or redirection. She prescribed fluoxetine (which takes 6-10 weeks to kick in), and clonidine (a fast-acting med). When the clonidine peaked, my puppy could exist without profound inescapable terror for roughly an hour before once again becoming panicked and impossible to sooth. I requested more frequent clonidine so that both my dog and I could have a more reasonable quality of life while we waited 6 weeks for her UC Davis Veterinary Behavior appointment. Although Dr Phillips has no behavior certifications beyond "fear free", she reviewed a few short videos of my puppy and confidently declared that my dog was "displaying mostly normal puppy behavior" and that "sometimes, as owners, we unintentionally encourage bad behavior." She pronounced my dog's body language to be "loose", ignoring her unmistakable whale eyes and tight face. Dr Phillips knew I had significant experience raising retriever puppies. She knew this dog's highly skilled training team was out of ideas. Yet, Dr Phillips knew more about my puppy's state of mind from a few short videos than either me or her training team knew from countless hours of direct care. Dr Phillips decided I caused these problems because I would rather sedate my "mostly normal" puppy than practice basic training and management. After deciding my puppy's fear and aggression were simply handler error, Dr Phillips not only declined to increase her clonidine dose, but declined to refill it at all. I had three doses left of the only thing that made it possible to safely interact with my dog. But Dr Phillips had completed a few rotations with veterinary behaviorists during vet school (which she referred to as "a lot of training") and she thought it was appropriate to allow my puppy to experience extreme panic 24/7 for the next 6 weeks in case the clonidine "changed her brain chemistry". Never mind the brain chemistry changes that might occur from 6 weeks of extreme prolonged panic. Luckily, a kind soul at another practice had mercy on us and prescribed enough clonidine for us to make it to the veterinary behavior appointment in one piece. The team at UC Davis diagnosed my puppy with generalized anxiety (based in territoriality, fear, overarousal, and resources) and interdog aggression (based in fear). They explained that my puppy's frequent bites were her way of coping with constant panic by redirecting it onto me as her primary caretaker. My puppy was a serious case for her age and would need significant management and medication for the rest of her life, otherwise she would be a danger to me and to the public. They explained that allowing her to panic throughout her puppyhood would have severe consequences for her brain chemistry, and they increased her clonidine dose to protect her from that fate. To be clear: although Dr Phillips put myself, my puppy, and the public in danger with her reckless overconfidence, I do not hold her personally responsible for this mistake. Dr Phillips had been a practicing veterinarian for just over a year at the time and it was clear she had extremely limited mentorship and support. When I later shared my puppy's diagnoses and prognosis with Dr Phillips, I didn't even get a reply. This tells me that this practice doesn't have experienced veterinarians following up on concerning decisions made by new veterinarians. Nobody is walking new veterinarians through reflecting on cases that don't go well, learning from mistakes, or addressing issues that arise with clients who have been with the practice for years. Thanks to the kind veterinarian who took over care urgently without any previous patient relationship, my dog did not seriously injure anyone in the six weeks Dr Phillips wanted her to be functionally unmedicated. But I am extremely concerned that this practice seeks out new veterinarians for cheap labor while ignoring their consequent mentorship responsibility. A less determined dog owner with fewer resources may have accepted Dr Phillips' assessment with potentially disastrous results. If you are considering taking your pet here, proceed with caution.

It needed to be removed along with a portion of his jawbone. While the tumor is benign, without surgery it would eventually destroy a dog's mouth, causing terrible suffering and ultimately death. Although the surgery is considered common, there was nothing common about trying to find a place that could perform it without leaving me in financial hardship for years. The estimates I received from private clinics ranged from $15,000 to $20,000. At one point, I almost had to say goodbye to my boy. Then I called UC Davis and scheduled an appointment. From my first call to the surgery itself, the entire process took about a week. They prioritize cases based on urgency, which I truly appreciated. The entire staff was amazing. Not only was Dr. Ingrid wonderful, but every doctor and team member treated their patients as if they were their own family members. Dr. Ingrid was patient, compassionate, and took the time to explain everything to me. We went ahead with the surgery, and I paid about a third of what I had been quoted elsewhere. Most importantly, Brownie is recovering beautifully. I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for this clinic and its staff. They gave my best friend a chance, and for that I will always be thankful.

I filled out an inquiry form and someone got back to me same day. They were flexible with my schedule as my boyfriend couldn't get the time off work and we had to push out our meet & greet to Saturday (called on a Monday). The staff were very helpful there and introduced us to another dog in addition to the one we came to see. They know dog people when they see them, and trusted that our dog would be comfortable/safe meeting our new potential dog. All went well! The checkout/adoption process is easy. The staff at the front desk are knowledgeable and helpful. We couldn't believe the adoption fee was such a great deal, we definitely donated more. We are just about a month out of adopting and it has been such a smooth transition. Thank you YCAS!

They are appointment only; bold choice, but I guess I get it if you only have the budget for one person to handle adoptions or something. They require you to bring any dogs you already have to the shelter with you; I can't imagine that the majority of dogs wouldn't be extremely stressed out being brought into a shelter which would make any interaction with another dog at best, less than accurate of how they will interact in a home. They are weird about footwear. I emailed the adoption person and explained that my dog gets extremely carsick but would I still be able to make an appointment to adopt a dog. She replied that it was STRONGLY recommended but exceptions could be made on a case by case basis and which dogs was I interested in? I sent the names of the dogs. She couldn't be bothered to get back to me. Ok then. Normally I would say that at the end of the day, management has the right to do whatever they want. However with this type of thing I think that no, you don't. What you have is an ethical obligation to act in the best interest of the animals in your care. Having extra hoops to jump through and prohibitive protocols is not doing that. We ended up adopting a very sweet dog from the Sac SPCA. And we weren't required to make our other dog violently ill to do so. Or wear special shoes. Just saying.
