I am a new client and so grateful to Dr. Frankot for her patience and knowledge! Hopefully this is way down the road, but I am also grateful she makes house calls for euthanasia in our community. We adopted an adult cattle dog that needed rabies and other vaccines, heartworm test, etc. While she is sweet and gentle with my 5 year old dog, husband, and myself... there is a reason she was adopted out without those basic vaccines. She is just terrified of being handed off to new people. I was really scared when our other dog's vet said she would probably need to be sedated to be examined. The tech was able to give her a rabies vaccine, but it was so traumatic (for everyone). I decided to try Spirit Vet Services Thursday clinic (at the old RCMS building in Stewarts Point) to get her lepto/parvo etc. I thought because it's outside I can be with my dog to help with calming her while the vet was administering vaccines; I hoped this would help it be less traumatic. Dr. Frankot was so patient! A very good communicator and clear about what it was going to take to get a shot in this, uh, resistant? dog. She shared her story of rescuing a traumatized dog and reassured me it's worth taking the time to get my new dog to settle into her new home and be ok with a visit to the vet. It may take months...a year and a half in her case, she said, but if I work with her she has great potential! Thank you Dr. Frankot! I really needed those words of encouragement! Our new dog is now current on vaccines and heartworm, and I look forward to a wellness check with Dr. J next year! read more

Dr. Frankot has been our family's vet for the last few years. She treats our pets expertly and when necessary, has referred us to the best specialists. She does a great job at keeping our 3 dogs and 2 cats healthy. She takes care of their annual checkups and vaccines; we've also called upon her for emergencies. She has never let us down. She's also been great at staying in touch considering how busy she is. We value the detailed reports she emails us for each pet after every visit, as well as reminder emails when they're due for vaccines and checkups, it helps us keep everyone on track. A home visit isn't always necessary, so she offers a local weekly clinic to pick up medication refills, get shots, and other services, no appointment needed. She's professional, ethical, and her bedside manner is excellent. Whenever she comes for a visit, there are wagging tails and happy barks, our pets love her! We truly appreciate being able to have our pets treated at home. Not having to cause them anxiety by dragging them to a clinic is a relief, they know what to expect and feel comfortable with her. Considering the services she provides in the comfort of our own home, her fees are fair, and she offers the convenience of paying by credit card. We are very happy with Dr. Frankot and recommend her to all our family and friends. read more

I'm relatively new to Yelp. And what compelled me to sign up and sign in was our excellent experience with Dr Frankot. My wife insisted that I leave a review for her so others might benefit. Here's our experience... We recently took a much needed family vacation to the Sea Ranch area...the kids, the dog and all the extras. We love our children but our dog....let's just say that I'm not sure whether my wife loves the dog or me more. So when the dog was in distress everything stopped. We NEEDED to have someone smarter than us help us. And Dr Frankot was there for us. She showed up at our door at the end of a presumably long work day. She was patient and kind and took the time to answer allllll of my wife's questions. What my wife needed the most was reassurance and Dr Frankot gave us that as well as offer to call with additional concerns. We were so grateful. As a businessman, it is rare to find someone who has her expertise and experience make HOUSECALLS. Our only other option would have been to pack everyone up and drive hours.... Sea Ranch is lucky to have her. And, by the way, our pup ended up doing fine and we had a great vacation. Thank you Dr Frankot! read more

Dr. Jennifer Frankot is an asset to our community. She holds a weekly Thursday clinic for all pets to receive reasonably priced vaccinations and wellness treatments. What other local vet has ever provided such a service here on the Mendocino coast? Plus she drives to your home and provides care and treatment to your pet in the home setting. And since she is going door-to-door during the pandemic, I appreciate that she is properly masked and expects the customers to be too. I have one pet who Dr. Frankot treats exclusively and I am very happy with the care and advice she has given. I have another pet with some complicated issues requiring hospital care who is treated by another vet. What is best is to be able to have OPTIONS in our small community. I say let's embrace the options we have, such as Dr. Frankot's wonderful mobile veterinary service. If Dr. Frankot doesn't work for you-- you can always try out other vets. read more

I first took my animals to the local vet, but after the practice was sold to a new owner all things changed, including price increases. So I looked for other cost-saving opportunities and found that Dr. Frankot was running a vaccine clinic every Friday. So I took my animals and she operated her clinic very professionally and spent time first with each animal to get to know them before doing anything. She was personable and saved me money to-boot. I then decided to call her for a few in-home matters with my dog as she was limping all of a sudden on one occasion and on another she had a lump on her leg. At both visits, Dr. Frankot, was again very professional, yet compassionate with what was going on with my dog. She was very courteous and respected my home space. She has a nice demeanor, has patience and is great with animals. I recommend her to anyone! read more

Dr. Frankot is outstanding! We got our first puppy ever and were nervous about being new dog parents, but Dr. Frankot was on top of everything from vaccinations, tests, medications, and check-ups to sharing tips and tricks for staying sane during all those crazy puppy antics. She shares her knowledge willingly and puts you at ease from the beginning. Her responses to e-mails and phone calls is very timely. By sending e-mail reminders about appointments and boosters, Dr. Frankot makes keeping track of all medical needs for our pup very easy. And living in Sea Ranch, we are very fortunate to have such a skilled veterinarian right in our own backyard, without having to drive to Santa Rosa or Petaluma. Her clinic is easy and handy, and her rates are very reasonable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and our dog, Berkeley, is completely in love with her. read more

When I moved to this beautiful, but somewhat remote community, I was concerned about finding excellent veterinary care locally. Fortunately, Dr. Jennifer Frankot has provided care for my furry family, a tiny Terrier mix and a large Bluepoint Ragdoll cat, for several years now. She is professional, knowledgeable and has a great "bedside manner" with animals. She always takes the time to answer questions and, since she is a mobile vet, my furry ones get to skip the stress of office visits. Of course, if what's needed is a something simple like a booster shot, I'll take my dog to her weekly clinic (my dog loves going because she gets to meet new dogs there). I feel she has a genuine concern for my furry ones along with top-notch veterinary proficiency. I am grateful for Dr. Frankot and, believe me, my furry ones are, too. read more

My wife and I had her over to do a simple check up on our dog. The experience was so bad that we looked into whether she was even a vet and had a degree. Everything she did, from cleaning my dogs ears, to expressing glands, made my dog yelp, which never has happened over 7 years of vet visits. I stopped the visit, asked her to leave, then she asked for us to pay for procedures we didn't receive when I stopped the visit. I basically paid her $200 to show up and leave. We wanted her off our property immediately. To add insult to injury, after this experience we took our dog to a proper vet, and "Dr."Frankot missed easily identifiable mammory tumors we needed to have removed. When we spoke with our neighbors about the incident, we heard countless similar stories. read more

Dr. Frankot is a superb veterinarian. She is a true dog whisperer, and our strong-willed Aussie absolutely loves her. She is smart, thoughtful, and always talks through options. She is extremely well versed in the pros and cons of different treatment options (from flea/tick issues to much more complicated areas.) She is sensitive about costs. Everyone I know that has used her absolutely loves her. I am deeply puzzled by some posts that were made here, which are totally inconsistent with my experience of several years, and many different situations and needs. Dr. Frankot is a fantastic veterinarian, one of the best I have ever known, in thirty years of pets. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Curious why I have given Dr Frankot 2 reviews and they have disappeared. So I will post again to let people know about my experiences with her. She has come to my home to examine our dog Lucy and treat as necessary. She is totally professional, very caring and interacts really good with the animals. Lucy loves her. The fact that she comes to your home to relieve the stress of bringing your pet to a clinic, and the fact that she has a weekly clinic down at Stewart's Point for shots, etc. is invaluable. I think the Coast is very lucky to have her and she was much needed to add to the options available. I certainly hope this review is not removed and I may contact Yelp to find out why. read more

We have a cat who suddenly developed a hole in his rear end. It was pretty scary looking and was definitely infected. He REALLY hates being in a car. Dr. Frankot to the rescue! She came to the house, took one look at his butt and said he had a ruptured anal gland. Poor guy. Gave him a shot to make him comfortable and got to work cleaning it (it was gross). Then she gave him another shot of antibiotics (so I wouldn't have to shove pills down his throat!). That sucker healed faster than I thought possible. So much easier than driving a screaming cat down the hill. Very Grateful. read more

I was visiting family in Gualala with my English Bulldog Nova when she started vomiting. I reached out to Dr. Frankot and she saw us immediately. Dr. Frankot took her time with Nova (who is by nature a rather timid dog) and she put us both at ease. She quickly diagnosed Nova and prescribed some medication for her and by that afternoon my dog was feeling great! Dr. Frankot was both highly skilled and compassionate, two things that everyone should have in a veterinarian. I would recommend Dr. Frankot to anyone who values a caring, concerned and highly competent doctor. read more

Our family was at our vacation home in Sea Ranch when our sheltie Lily started acting up. She was lethargic and seemed to be in pain. We contacted Dr. Frankot and she took us immediately. It turns out Lily had a blockage which was causing the pain. Dr. Frankot treated Lily with care and compassion. Thanks to Dr. Frankot our beloved Lily is fine! The blockage could have been deadly for our dog but thanks to Dr. Frankot she is doing great! I would highly recommend Dr. Frankot to anyone, she is amazing!!! read more

Dr. Frankot has been great! We started using her services when we got our Boxer puppy a year ago, she did a great puppy wellness exam, was patient and helpful with a bouncing wiggly puppy! We had to call on her for an at home euthanasia for our older Boxer boy which was extremely emotional and she was so compassionate and kind, making the process just a little less hard to go through. She is knowledgeable and helpful. We are so grateful she is in our community! read more

Dr. Frankot completed a very thorough, professional exam on our 11 year old cat. Her prices were very reasonable and she prepped us in advance on all that she was going to do. She also offered options in case we could not afford all of the services in one visit. She responded promptly when we called about some concerning symptoms our cat was exhibiting. She treated our cat like the treasure she is to us. I recommend Spirit Veterinary Services to everyone! read more

This is a really nice vet! She was so kind and caring and really listened to our concerns about our dogs injured paw. The doctor was thorough with her exam and really took the time to explain everything to us. With rest and medications our dog's paw healed well! We will definitely be utilizing this mobile veterinary service in the future. The price was reasonable and the care was excellent! So convenient to have the home visit! read more

What a great service! So convenient and our dog was so much more comfortable having his medical appointment at home. This doctor was so kind, skilled and thoughtful. Our dog is generally anxious but he loved this doctor! We were able to get his ear infection and foxtail removed with relative ease and with reasonable cost. This saved us from having to make the long trip to the ER. We are so thankful! Highly recommended. read more

I have a dog who is very reactive. She doesn't do well when around other dogs while on a leash. Traditional vet office visits are very stressful for everyone. Dr. Frankot makes getting her health needs a 1000% easier! She comes to your house, is patient with my very hyper dog, does all the necessary tests, check ups and shots. No muss no fuss. I don't know what we would do without her. read more

We have a very reactive dog... so taking her to a clinic is challenging. Dr. Frankot is a life saver with her services. She comes to our house and figures out how to deal with our dog's issues and gives her the care she needs. Even though our dog is a giant pain in the rear (still love her anyway), Dr. Frankot is patient with her and she figures it out. Thank goodness for her... read more
