    I have never been disappointed, there is a high level of professionalism that cannot be beat.

    Lemonade Claim Form for basic physical checkup
    Jennifer W.

    They need to list their clinic email on their website because Lemonade wants that before I can get reimbursement for any claim. I'm updating this review because I realized they are charging $180 for a blood test, the insurance that I pay $55/month for is only paying $75 max for that blood test, which leaves me still paying a lot out of my pocket considering I have the lowest copay at 10%. And Lemonade has been thre cheapest and best pet insurance I've found so far. I'm frustrated. This ended up being a lot of money for me.

    Our French Bulldog 3 days after the invasive surgical AI procedure.
    Stephen T.

    On Sunday, September 30, 2018 our French Bulldog, Bailey arrived at American Pet Clinic to undergo a progesterone test. The results came back favorable, Bailey was scheduled for artificial insemination (AI) on Monday, October 1. The result of the AI has been nothing short of horrific, as Bailey failed to recover and suffered from an invasive surgical procedure (See Attachment #1). It wasn't until Sunday, October 7 that she was receiving much needed treatment for swelling and infection, that had gone unchecked, backed by reassurances from Dr. Amanpreet Basra, that Bailey was doing okay. If there were further concerns, we were to contact the American Pet Clinic. On top of the $110.00 spent for an in-house progesterone test and $275.00 for the surgical insemination, I have spent an additional $261.00 and $175.00 for follow up services at American Pet Clinic. An additional $91.00 was spent at East Bay Veterinary Emergency, when the dog woke up in a pool of blood, liquid and pus on Sunday, October 7 (See Attachment #2). I called the American Pet Clinic and was told Dr. Basra wasn't available at the clinic on Sundays, the decision was made to receive treatment at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teach Hospital (VMTH) (See Attachment #3 & #4). The result, eight days, numerous procedures and seven nights hospitalized at VMTH, Bailey came home. That $275 AI cost us $4288.75, this after numerous reassurances from Dr. Basra that Bailey was going to fully recover, based on blood work, subcutaneous fluids and medication. As owners, we are very upset and disappointed with American Pet Clinic and horrified at what our French Bulldog endured. We did everything asked of us, but feel it was Dr. Basra's failure during the procedure and follow up care that turned this situation, life threatening. Bailey developed a staph infection on the skin and subcutaneous tissues, the most dramatic and the ends of the incision. Left untreated, her wounds could have resulted in death. Bailey spent 8 days at VMTH under the care of Dr. Casey Kohen and Dr. Jeremy Fleming, providing us with daily updates, regarding how Bailey was doing and what procedures were going to take place, based on her progress. Their assessment of Bailey, "...developed a post-operative surgical site infection of the superficial tissues that has cause dehiscence of the incision. We recommended initial wound management to help clear the infection and then close thereafter to allow expedited healing." It's unfortunate, our French Bulldog and family have suffered because of the procedure at the American Pet Clinic. Rest assured, we will not return for your services. We will be considering legal action, contacting the California Veterinary Medical Board and promote a social media campaign to let other individuals know not to take their animals to your clinic.

    Since I have moved, this is the last review I'm going to write about this clinic, as I will never be in the area again. I have upped the stars one because in November 2019, I brought my dog to this business. I'm not going to go through the reasons why I called around to so many vets, because it's a very long story starting back when he was only about a year old. In November 2019, he was 9 years old. So, extremely long story short, when I did share the story and the reason for seeking a vet, to the many vet offices I called in and around the Modesto and Ceres area, not a one of them cared to listen to me, understand the situation, and brushed me off as if I had not done everything possible to rectify the situation. Not. One. Except this clinic. This one did listen. They understood. They were the only vet willing to have my dog come in. I made an appointment, however, between that time and the date of the appointment, I was able to find a temporary solution, and contacted the vet to state the nature of my visit would be a little different. They were very accommodating. I also advised them that my dog had major fear aggression around other dogs, and asked if we could come in the back way, or some way to prevent there being any craziness. Yet again, they were very accommodating. I left my dog in the car when I arrived, signed in, waited, and then when it was time for my dog to come in, the clinic made a very clear way for my dog to come in without being faced with other dogs he was extremely afraid of. It made for a very peaceful entrance, peaceful visit, and peaceful exit. The level of fear my dog has had towards other dogs is worse than you can imagine. He has been attacked, repeatedly, because so many just let their dogs roam around, freely, no leash, no fence, often times, no person around at all. So my dog has a major issue, and when he sees another dog, it's fight or flight. Other dogs pick up on that fear, and then we have a problem. It was very important that the clinic listen to me when I told them about my dog's fear, and what could happen, and they listened. They accommodated - I'm talking about the front desk people that I've not been all that fond of in the past - they listened, they accommodated. And I'm very appreciative that they did so. It truly was a very serious, big deal. I also met a new vet that night, and she was wonderful. The visit was quick, and the staff, this time, all of them, were great.

    Csection stitches
    R R.

    This veterinarian gives you instructions for your newborn puppies in the instructions they tell you to tube feed the puppies while you wait for the mothers milk to come in. this is absolutely false do not do that. let the puppy nurse and make crying sounds to get mom's milk to come in. next do not allow this veterinarian to put your newborns in their incubators they are not using them properly they are too hot the puppies are warmed up too quickly. The newborn puppies need to warm up slowly over time the appropriate heat would be the heat that they get from their mother or you can carry them inside your shirt right after they're born do not leave. wait for the puppies and take them immediately away from this Vetinarian I suggest you just don't get a C-section here.

    I like here. This people friendly and good and successful of our female dogs c-section. Puppy are healthy I don't have any problems yet with this place. C-section and scars were smaller than other veterinarians. And The cost is also reasonable. I live in South San Jose. I always drove almost 2 hours to get there. But no Complain. I recommend here to many people here.

We weren't sure we were making the right decision, and she answered all our questions with kindness and reassurance during a really uncertain time.

When I contacted Restful Paws, I didn't know what to expect. In fact, I felt bad crying on the phone because I couldn't imagine trying to talk to someone like me at that moment. But the staff couldn't be more understanding and supportive. Unlike making end of life decisions for your fur baby, the process of scheduling this appointment was very easy. Restful Paws asked all the right questions, set the expectations, and made this process that much easier. And on the day of, Dr. Ami arrived promptly at the scheduled time. She was very caring and understanding, and she put all of us at ease. We could not have asked for a better last day for our Sodapop. I'm thankful that we reached out to restful pause, and grateful that they were able to come to our house to help us get through this phase. Weeks later, we received a card from Dr. Ami sending us her condolences. Thank you, Restful Paws, for doing the service that you do. I'm sure it's not easy, and I can only imagine how sad it is to do this on a daily basis. Thank you so much!

From calling to make an appointment, receiving reminder emails, and day of texts from our vet, each step was handled with so much compassion. We were able to find a weekend availability which was best scenario so everyone could attend. Dr. Vine was very punctual the day of and gave us a thorough breakdown of what to expect (pain reliever, anesthesia, and euthanasia). We didn't feel rushed at any point, and we were given ample time before proceeding to each stage. She was very respectful and the process was smooth. After the euthanasia, we were able to choose where we wanted the fur clippings. The paw print was perfectly imprinted with Christy's name, which added such a sweet personal touch. We chose to pickup Christy's ashes at Sage, and it was quick. The only thing is it felt very jarring going to an animal hospital filled with so many people and dogs. Considering this was only 2 weeks after the euthanasia, I was still grieving and it was difficult being in that environment so soon. The only feedback I'd give is it'd be more mindful if there was a separate pickup location away from everyone else for more privacy. Dr. Vine sent a sympathy card as well and it was very sweet. Thank you so much for giving Christy such a respectful experience and having her pass comfortably and peacefully. I will definitely recommend this organization to loved ones! Thank you Dr. Vine for such a smooth experience. You made this process much easier and we were able to focus on grieving afterwards. Rest in peace, sweet Christy!

I was scared to hand her over because I didn't trust that I'd actually get her ashes back (I fear some places lump all pet ashes together).

She actually spent a lot of time hearing me out, then making calls to ensure all of my fears were just that- fears. I was treated with respect and kindness. When I brought my baby to the center I was given space and time with her to grieve before she was taken. This was much harder than expected so their set up and process was appreciated. The team was very communicative and helpful. When her ashes were returned to me a couple of weeks later, I was extremely touched that they felt moved by my baby's story and had kindly added little treasures that I will always cherish. I never expected to lose my beloved pet and I don't wish this on anyone, but having this team help get me through it was a gift.
