    I live in the country , so my German Shephard and I walk the property as well as some of our…read moreneighbors orchards everyday. So he is almost always off leash given our location. One morning he ran off and I found him scavenging a carcass and before I could get to him, sure enough he got bone stuck in his throat. Fortunately it was not effecting his breathing, but he could not swallow and was clearly in great distress. I got him back home, called my Vet. They had no DR on staff until the afternoon. I then called every other Vet in my area, and they could either not see me because of being over capacity for appointments, or there was no Vet on Staff at the time. I loaded Max in the Truck, called ahead and told them we were coming. It was a long drive, 40 minutes with a dog in distress. When we arrived they got us in right away. Even though Max is a big , strong, and difficult dog, the veterinarian and staff were able to get the bone out of his throat with no sedation, no major procedure. They did not do anything extra, did not require an ultra sound of an X-Ray, and after all was said and done, it probably only cost me a little more than my regular Vet would have charged, and that was for an Emergency appointment. I know people will complain about the cost of VCA, but this is a 24 hour emergency service, and I for one am glad the community at least has this option given that extreme Vet shortage, and IMO anyone that takes on the responsibility of caring for an animal should be ready for things like this to come up. Great Experience, Thank You for helping my boy!

    Moved from Oroville to Chico - No notice - since VCA took over the place was not near as pleasant…read moreas it once was. I found out they had moved when I went to the location on Oro Dam Blvd and they were closed. Called Chico and they said I had to bring my pet there for an exam in order to receive prescriptions that he already had. They had my pets' records, same vet. Had been with the Oroville vet for over 20 years and myself and other received no notice. VCA is a Corporate Entity looking out for themselves first, pets and pet parents second.

    I bought a cat from Barbra . She neglected to tell me he was extremely ill. I thought that the low…read moreprice was because he was unsocialized. When I got him home I noticed that he couldn't jump very high and walked funny. I called her and she told me that it was his breed and not to worry. A month later after I had completely fallen in love with my cat, he was unable to walk and he had to be taken to the vet to have enemas . He didn't have the strength to poop on his own and his back legs were paralyzed. Barbra also refused to take my calls. I spent a small fortune on vet visits and tests. When I finally got Barbra on the phone ( by blocking my number) she said that when the cat dies I can have another for free! The cat is still alive and I taught him to walk with his front paws and he uses his stomach muscles to move his very weak back legs . I would have still taken him even though he is disabled. She really should have told me about his health problems. She really shouldn't charge money for a sick cat .

    I met Barbara on a whim a few years back when I had interest in one of her Chausie kittens. She is…read moreand has always been extremely friendly and willing to share all background details of all her kittens and cats. I've never felt uncomfortable about her cattery or kittens and I've been to her place several times. I have 4 of her babies who are healthy and extremely friendly. In the instance that one 'may' have been ill, I was mailed a bottle of antibiotics (which I ended up not having to use as the kitten was not sick). Barbara went above and beyond to ensure our little one was healthy, and I can't say that for other breeders. I will always return to her for kittens, and if I need advice. She genuinely loves exotic breeds and cares about her customers.
