    Look at that smile! Trixie couldn't be happier :)
    Kinshasha J.

    I've been going to the same overpriced veterinarian for the past 4 years, and have been searching for a more reasonably-priced option to take my dog for veterinary care. Two of my coworkers highly recommended Prunedale Veterinary Service with Dr Dena Eckerdt, so I decided to give her a try. I immediately saw a difference with this establishment from the moment I scheduled the appointment over the phone. They welcomed my Trixie into the office, talking to her, interacting with her, and playing with her. She's a pit-mix, so some people act scared around her, but they didn't make me feel stressed out like usual. They were so good to her. The doctor spent time getting to know Trixie, and even took the time to show me how to do a simple procedure at home to help maintain her health! They never even attempted to try and sell me on any unnecessary, expensive treatments or procedures for her. I couldn't have been more impressed.

    Thanks Dr. Dena!

    first off i highly recommend this dr jeff. his attitude and straight forward approach and listening…read moreto us at initial visit is what every fur baby parent needs. confidence in their vet especially a new vet office at that. I also was told ahead that their isn't a lot of workers so it was told me in advanced. I understood to mean not a lot of overhead that is why costs are cheaper here. As for me , it makes all the difference for me having my puppy's as my life line to be comfortable with a new Vet clinic and dr. my dogs weren't anxious at all at the initial visit. that tells me a lot! was told he needed a dental what that meant to me was teeth needed to be pulled not specified the details only that labs would be done and then i'd be contacted and to proceed from there... i had to call them was told was infection and yes teeth and ok for surgery . nothing abt a cleaning at that point but apparently that was a issue with insurance little issues with payment later on. Once I found out my ins wasn't going to pay needed records from elsewhere , I provided ins co and vet clinic... with records i was then sent a email stating how much ins co was to pay! we proceeded with scheduling surgery for my pups dental! after surgery we submitted claim to ins for the thousand dollars to pay clinic directly and they denied! I then had to dispute and for that they needed detailed surgery notes from vet clinic. with the help of staff and dr we got them the notes etc... at that point ins as only willing to pay 400$ total disappointment End result was we paid our deductible to clinic after ins was able to pay the remainder of what ins refused and the dr gave a discount . What matters most is my puppy is home with me and recovering . I suffer with anxiety and my dogs r elder years now only stress caused was that my insurance wasn't being cooperative after having puppy insurance since they were born. i carry two insurance policy's for them and either wanted to pay a dime! Thanks to Ashley dr jeff and andrew working with one insurance for details of surgery i at least for ins to pay a tiny amount.... in reality i have proof they sent me a hard copy stating they were paying $1,000 and did not! after we paid our deductible ... this clinic in my opinion handled it the best they could and offered me a discount thank goodness. I'm incredibly grateful for the communication i received for them helping me in this case it was giving me a clearer picture of what not to buy pet insurance for going forward having elder puppy's .... we purchase as emergency's as babies and expect they will cover as they age not realizing there is stipulations for elder dogs i'm better off saving a savings for my dogs from the start. lesson learned. thanks again to the staff at pet maintenance for the extra help with my pet insurance it was appreciated ! I should not have had to go thru what i went thru with insurance companies for them to both deny me having records and all! i recommended his facility just make sure to have good communication always not just with this business but in life! that's the only way any thing will ever get done and fairly. kindest regards and thanks to dr and staff . My respects, corina lacanlale xoxo from copper puppy thanks u too

    I brought my dog Mochi here for a dental cleaning. Mochi's dental cleaning itself went well. Dr…read more Wavrick was kind and I felt Mochi was cared for during the procedure. Unfortunately, the administrative side of our experience and the post-op care we received was very frustrating. We once drove an hour and a half to our scheduled appointment only to be told the doctor wasn't in and the office forgot to contact us to reschedule. After the dental cleaning, Mochi developed bad breath again. I reached out to the clinic and was told the doctor would prescribe antibiotics, but due to delays around the holidays, it took about three weeks for the prescription to be sent. During that time Mochi contracted Giardia and our local vet advised against giving additional antibiotics. Once he recovered, I tried to fill the original prescription, but Wave rejected it, saying it had expired. Even after explaining the situation , including that the delay wasn't in my control and the prescription was never filled, I was told I'd have to pay for another visit to get a new one. While Dr. Wavrick was compassionate during the initial visit, the lack of support and empathy with the prescription, the scheduling errors, prescription delays, and lack of flexibility left me disappointed, especially given how far we travel to come here. I can't say I will recommend Wave if you are looking for quality care for your beloved pets.

    We are new to the area and needed to find a new Veterinarian for our two senior dogs we were…read morepleasantly surprised with the Wave veterinary center couldn't have asked for a better doctor and staff treated our fur babies with love care and kindness recommended highly Second visit was even better than the first. With complicated, chronic conditions we got in quickly and my buddy got the best care again. Kind and gentle technician Kat and Dr did Tests and X-rays. They were done quickly, and with concern for my buddy's comfort. Received excellent care with Dr Wavrick who obviously puts Pet health ahead of personal profit.

    The past couple of weeks have been incredibly hard for us. Our fur baby has been very sick:…read morevomiting, extremely lethargic, not eating, and just not himself at all. Over the weekend, things got much worse, and we rushed him to VCA Animal Hospital. They completed blood work , X-rays, gave him antibiotics, and fluids because he was severely dehydrated and hadn't eaten or drank water for days. That's when we got the shocking news: he had an intestinal blockage. Despite how much weight he had lost in such a short time and how weak he was, we decided to move forward with surgery. During surgery, they discovered the cause--19 hair ties lodged in his intestines. I was completely blindsided. This experience has been traumatic, heartbreaking, anxiety-filled, and incredibly costly. But we are beyond grateful to God, the VCA's incredible staff, for helping us in our hardest moments, to the rescue center that helped with surgery costs, and especially greatful for the VCA charity that went over and beyond because without them and the charitie foundations available, we wouldn't be able to bring our fur baby home.

    On my last review I was not complaining. I loved this office. I just miss going. I was wishing my…read morepets allergies flared up and I was with her but she has passed away. I'd rather be a walk in appointment and waiting in line. I wish my Miss Mary Jane was still alive. Her passing has nothing to do with this place. I'm just reminiscing on being with her.
