    Highly recommended, Dr. Bajwa is vet to our 3 fur babies (2 dogs 1 cat). He's always been kind, gentle and informative with our pets. The staff is awesome! Kudos to Niko who was gentle with my senior cat's nail trim and immunization. He's kind, patient, and has sense of humor. We've always walked out assured and satisfied with our pets outcome.

    Once in a lifetime do you have the opportunity to be able to truly trust a veterinarian whole has had many many years of experience and knowledge to know what is best for your beloved best friend. This special vet is Dr Gregory Anderson! I am so grateful to have both my dogs under his care. He is truly a gem. Thank you for your excellent care. You're rolling now - got any more to add?

    This has been my vet for over 30 years. Dr. Anderson has been a literal life saver. I was really sad when he decided to semi retired. But he definitely deserves the break, considering the great work that he's done. I can't write enough good things about Luna. She is always so helpful and caring. She always finds a way to somehow get my dogs in during a emergency. Thank you Luna.

    Mimi's recovering from an eye issue, and Mamas nearby for moral support!

    Came into this vet on a Saturday for our family dog's recent eye issue. The doctors were caring and doing everything in their efforts to help us! We discovered that Mimi went blind in her right eye due to Glaucoma and an Ulcer. Although, with medication prescribed and recommendation of a cone, Mimi is on her road to recovery thanks to the help of Calaveras Vet Clinic! They've helped us get into contact with an eye vet specialist as well. Super caring staff truly have a passion for helping animals over money costs. Highly recommend to bring your loved ones here to get annual, affordable visits.

    I have no words to express my gratitude to all the staff, from the receptionists to the vets, and very specially to Dr Satwinder Bajwa, DVM. I started visiting the clinic in search of an available clinic for travel health certificates. However, what started as a routine visit before travel evolved into a more intensive treatment. My dog already had a heart murmur, and when the time came for in-depth heart checkups and treatment, Dr. Bajwa and the clinic became a lifeline! Last week my dog was gasping for air, almost died, but thankfully they did an amazing job stabilizing him. We thought we were going to lose him, but after a few days, my dog is back to his old self, alive and able to be comfortable again. Thank you to all the staff at the clinic, their patience and compassion. Rocket is here because of all your hard work.

    My cat Miss Jitters had stopped eating and drinking, so I asked my sister if she could recommend a vet. She told me about Calaveras Pet clinic . After a bunch of tests and x-rays, she had a massive hairball lodged in her stomach. Dr. Bajwa did the surgery that saved her life. Dr. Bajwa and his staff were the best. I have pictures below on the hairball and my beautiful cat. Thank you again. You are all the best.

    Dog had a clear ear infection, but nurse over the phone told me she didnt since she "checked" during the surgery a few days prior.

    What would a preventative dental cleaning cost for a 4 yr old dog (20 lbs) including the subsidiary procedures associated with it (like bloodwork, anaesthesia, etc.)?

    Is the new client exam still $29?

    No, it is $58

    How much do you charge or nose-to-tail exam?

    Not true - I was charged a LOT more for a puppy exam with no vaccines. Pricing here seems to fluctuate wildly.

    How much does a check up cost?

    My dog has gone there for 13 years. Her last annual exam cost $58.00. Where expenses add up are on the annual shots. For example: DHPP Booster: $30.00, Ova & Parasite: $54.00, Heartworm test: $52.00. Dr. Anderson is the best. Unfortunately he is now… Read more

    My 18yr Maltese has had severe CHF for 2yrs now. Beside she has right side failure, just this month, she is beginning to need belly taps. This may become a regular procedure. Is this a procedure you do?

    Yes. You have done well to manage a patient with severe CHF for 2 years. As you probably understand, you are getting into the more difficult period as the fluid builds up in the peritoneal cavity.

    Do they also have boarding for cats for 3 weeks?

    Sorry, no boarding service provided.

Over the past 2 years, we have taken multiple cats from this same house to Advanced Vet (a few of them have had many visits), so I can confidently say this practice and the people who work there are absolutely amazing. The staff has always, always been so kind, compassionate, and so willing to help. This practice seems to be very busy and when we have any issues and call to get one of the cats in quickly, they are always willing to work with us to try to see the cats as quickly as possible so they can be taken well care of. Between my husband, the man who now takes full care of these cats, and me, we all have the most positive experience when it comes to this practice. We've seen quite a few people there over the years, and everyone has been awesome. In particular, Jeric and Dr Vu consistently go above and beyond with us, and are just the nicest and most caring people, we just love them. I don't know everyone's name there, but I can definitely say we have always had a wonderful experience and so appreciate them for everything they do!

The whole team at Tama has always been so wonderful to us, including the nurses and front desk. After having dogs for 10 years, we've experienced a variety of different animal hospitals, emergency rooms and doctors. Some of them amazing and some of them leaving much to be desired. We learned that no one can advocate for your pet better than you, so communication & openness to learn is key. Our three dogs have always had a wonderful experience there and we're grateful to have found them. That being said, Tama Vet is an awesome place to have as a family doctor for your fur babies. They work with you and are always so understanding toward us.

    After trusting Tama Vet Hospital with our dog Milo's care since 2023, this experience completely…read moredestroyed our confidence in this clinic. We have always kept up with Milo's medical care, including exams, vaccines, testing, and preventative medications. In February, we paid for a heartworm screening specifically to maintain his heartworm prevention prescription. The invoice itself states that the annual heartworm test is "essential to test negative annually to be eligible to prescribe heartworm prevention." Nowhere did it mention that an additional physical exam would also be required before approving the medication refill. After multiple prescription refill requests through Petco went unanswered, we called the clinic ourselves. One front desk staff member told us they would respond to the request, only for another employee to later call back with a rude and dismissive attitude instead of resolving the issue professionally. The entire interaction felt disrespectful and unnecessarily confrontational. What is most frustrating is that this entire situation could have been avoided with simple, clear communication from the clinic. Instead, we were left scrambling to get our dog's medication while being treated like a problem rather than long-term clients who have consistently provided proper care for our pet. When concerns were raised, there was no accountability, no genuine apology, and no meaningful attempt from management to make things right. We even requested a refund or account credit for the heartworm test because the additional exam requirement was never disclosed at the time of service, yet we still received no real response. Veterinary clinics should treat both pets and owners with professionalism, respect, and compassion. Unfortunately, our experience with Tama Vet Hospital reflected the opposite. We will be taking Milo's care elsewhere and cannot recommend this clinic to other pet owners.

Finding a good vet that is at a privately owned hospital has been a challenge and after reading their website and hearing good things from a couple of colleagues, I drove over an hour each way for appointments with each of my dogs. I saw Dr. Cauvel and was very impressed with his knowledge, he recognized it was better for me to handle my super excitable malinois vs have her go into the back for her vaccination, and most importantly, when I presented him with a more complex issue on one of my dogs and I presented my thoughts, he didn't treat me like my background was somehow a threat like I have experienced before. He went out of his way to review some information and photos I emailed after the appointment and we decided on what to try. I was really thrilled with my experience with this vet at this practice with both of my dogs, and despite the drive will definitely be coming back for future needs.

    I strongly advise against trusting this clinic with any major surgery. I brought my rescue cat here…read morefor treatment of nose cancer, which they had already diagnosed as being present throughout his entire nose. Despite this, they completely ignored one side of his nose during treatment and committed multiple acts of severe professional negligence. 1. Failure to Follow Agreed Treatment Plan: I paid for and consulted on an aggressive, complete nose removal. The consulting veterinarian explicitly stated that the surgery "would be a waste" unless the entire nose was removed because leaving any cancer behind would cause it to return aggressively. Instead, a general practice surgeon--whom I was never permitted to speak with--made a unilateral mid-surgery decision to perform a minimal "scrape," leaving 2/3 of the tumor and visible cancerous bulbs intact. 2. Complete Violation of Informed Consent: If the surgeon did not feel capable or comfortable performing the agreed-upon nose removal once my cat was sedated, they had a strict medical and ethical obligation to call me from the operating room. By failing to contact me, they denied me my legal right to decline a substandard procedure, wake my cat up, and immediately transfer him to a qualified veterinary oncologist or specialist who could perform the surgery correctly. 3. Total Lack of Post-Operative Communication: When I picked up my cat after major surgery, the clinic provided absolutely zero communication or discharge instructions. I had to discover via text message that they failed to complete the agreed-upon service. They then falsely claimed the cancer was only on one side, directly contradicting their own previous diagnosis and what was clearly visible. Because of their failure to remove the tumor as promised, the cancer returned with extreme aggression. I had to euthanize my cat because this clinic robbed him of his only opportunity to receive a proper, complete surgery from a qualified professional. I have the full text message logs, emails, and images confirming this timeline. A formal complaint regarding this professional negligence and failure to obtain informed consent is being filed directly with the State Veterinary Board. Do not trust them with your animal's life. Response to owner : There is a fundamental difference between a "medically complex" adjustment and a complete change in surgical scope without owner consent. The explicit, documented purpose of Tom Tom's consultation was a complete nose removal. I was explicitly told by your staff that a partial removal or "minimal scrape" would not be effective given the aggressive nature of his cancer. Yet, while he was sedated, Dr. Eileen made the unilateral decision to pivot to a minimal scrape, leaving active cancerous bulbs behind, without ever calling me to get my informed consent. By failing to call me from the operating room, you denied me my legal right as a client to decline a sub-standard procedure. Had I been contacted, I would have immediately instructed the clinic to wake him up so I could transfer him to a qualified veterinary oncologist or specialist who was capable of performing the agreed-upon surgery. Furthermore, your clinic attempted to retain 100% of the funds for a complete nose removal until I forced accountability through a series of extensive emails. Your own text message records confirm that the surgeon only focused on one side of the nose, directly contradicting the agreed-upon treatment plan. This is a clear issue of professional negligence and a failure to obtain informed consent, not a misunderstanding of "expectations." I will not be having further private discussions with management to help cover up this clinic's lack of informed consent. The time for discussion was when Tom Tom was on the operating table. All further correspondence from me will be handled directly through the formal complaint I am filing with the State Veterinary Board.

Unfortunately, this ended up being one of the most upsetting experiences I've had with a veterinarian. My cat had gotten covered in car oil and likely ingested some of it because she was scared and I couldn't catch her right away. By the time I finally did, she had gone downhill. She had lost weight, was drooling, her tongue was sticking out, and her mouth looked burned and ulcerated. I was scared and brought her in because I needed help fast. When Dr. Saini looked at her, it felt like he wrote her off almost immediately. He looked in her mouth briefly and told me it was a tumor and that she would not have a good quality of life. I asked more than once if it could be an ulcer instead, especially because of the car oil exposure and the burns in her mouth, but he still said it was a tumor. There was very little explanation, very little compassion, and no real sense of urgency. What bothered me the most was that I had to point out that she was clearly having respiratory distress before that was even addressed. Only after I kept asking questions did labs and X-rays come up. By that point, I honestly had no confidence in the care being provided and chose not to move forward with testing there. The next day, I took her to another vet. They diagnosed an oral ulcer, not a tumor, and started treatment right away, including IV fluids and oxygen. That was heartbreaking because I feel like her care was delayed when she needed help the most. I know not every diagnosis is easy, and I don't expect any doctor to be perfect. But I do expect compassion, urgency, and a willingness to actually listen when an animal is clearly suffering. I left feeling like my cat was dismissed instead of helped, and I would not feel comfortable bringing another pet here.

I feel like his responses have been blunt and/or dismissive whenever I've asked him questions, and I wouldn't trust his diagnosis for something serious. His son, Dr. Mundh Jr., has a better bedside manner and he correctly diagnosed and treated a condition my dog had when his dad sort of brushed it off during my visit with him. Dr. Mundh Jr. talks fast though, so sometimes I feel like I'm rushed whenever I'm with him. Good bedside manner is critical to me, and I haven't always been satisfied with the bedside manner at this clinic over the years. I most likely will return to my previous vet hospital.

Our family lost a dog right before Christmas in 2024. He began exhibiting concerning symptoms, and late at night, an appointment was made to bring him in the following morning. Unfortunately, he didn't make it through the night, and his unexpected passing was incredibly devastating to us, especially because my brother, his primary caretaker, was working out of state and not able to be there in his final moments. The next morning, shortly before the scheduled appointment, I called to let them know what happened and apologize that we would be missing the appointment on such short notice. The woman on the phone was so incredibly kind and compassionate. She comforted me and let me know that we could bring him to them, and they would arrange his cremation, if that is what we wanted. My mother and I loaded him into the back of her van, devastated, and she drove him to San Jose Animal Hospital. Upon her arrival, the staff members promptly came outside, loaded our sweet beloved boy onto a gurney and took him inside. They hugged my mother and showed her a level of love and compassion that truly moved her to tears. The subject of payment was not brought up once at this time. They spoke with my brother over the phone and let him know all of the available options that he had and assured him that everything would be taken care of. The cost was very reasonable, and a few weeks later, Major's ashes were delivered to us in a beautiful urn, with a handwritten note of sympathy, his collar, and a paw print they had taken, things we had never even thought about in our state of grief. I truly appreciate the love that was shown to us during this time. Its taken me a while to leave them a review, only because it is a very sore subject.
