We have 5 Maine coon cats so it started to become a hassle to bring them to the vet for just a regular check up. We called Dr Paula and she scheduled with us the following week, which was great. The ease our cats felt with their check-ups was amazing and totally relieving and stress-free for us, as fur baby parents. That said, the biggest benefit we got from this was finding out one of our cats was in a dire health situation and we didn't even know. He didn't show symptoms of distress or unwellness. She noticed his hard stomach and was able to direct us on what to do next, to the point where she saved his life. We are so grateful for the expertise of Dr Paula and highly recommend her to anyone who feels the mobile vet service best fits your needs. Dr Paula and her assistant are so personable and obvious experts of animal health. We are so happy we found them and will always hold in our hearts that they saved our beautiful boy, Harris. I highly recommend Dr Paula! read more

We had to make the very difficult choice to euthanize our ailing cat...Dr. Paula and her assistant made a VERY hard thing as easy as it could have been. 100% recommend her; she is empathetic, knowledgeable, and compassionate. read more

Dr Paula saved the day when I was unable to find a local vet facility to treat my shepherd's painful broken toe nail. She came to our house the next morning and was caring and efficient and patient. And she provided the extra benefit of providing treatment at home for our apprehensive dog. She's a tremendous resource for this county, which clearly is suffering from a shortage of traditional brick and mortar vet services. Highly recommended! read more

Contacted them about arranging a vet visit. Provided all my information expecting a speedy reply. I then get ghosted for 2.5 weeks! Finally get an email at 11pm from her secretary explaining "With the holidays in full swing, our practice has definitely seen a significant increase in scheduled appointments." It took you 2.5 weeks to tell me that? You're a doctor. You can't treat your business and especially your clients this way. You work in an industry that, literally, handles life and death situations. Dr. Paula. you aware this how your secretary is handling your new clientele? read more

Never got a response from my call. Very disappointed as it was an emergency and I couldn't lift my 150lb Great Dane in to my car. My dog passed away the next day. read more

I found Dr. Paula through Yelp when I was looking for a vet to do bloodwork on my 15 year old fur daughter because she started to have seizures. With my Free being a nervous dog and having trouble with her hind legs, I thought, why not have the mobile vet service come to our home. They were able to examine her and did a few x-rays in their vet mobile which I was impressed. Dr. Paula was able to show and explain Free's x-ray with me on-site. The following day, Dr. Paula contacted me to give me results of Free's lab work and found that she had an UTI. Dr. Paula contacted the pharmacy and started her on some antibiotics and I scheduled her for a follow-up appointment to re-check her urine. Before her follow-up, Free had another seizure and within a couple of days, my dog's health started to deteriorate quickly, I knew it was time to have my dog euthanized. I called early Friday morning and they were able to come out later that day. They showed compassion during this difficult time and I'm glad I was able to have this done in my home where my dog felt most comfortable. I felt a lot better knowing she was at home with the family that loves her. Dr. Paula and Leslee made the whole process easy for me; where I was able find peace within myself knowing that my girl knew I was there with her till the end. They gave us some time to be alone with her where we can say our good-byes and tell her how much of a great dog she was and how much we will miss her. They also took care of arranging the cremation and told me that I will have Free's ashes back to me in a few weeks. While we wait for Free's ashes to be returned to us, we plan to plant a new tree on our front yard with Free's ashes to remember her. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Paula and Leslee, you ladies are awesome, very professional with compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Paula's Mobile Veterinary Service. read more

Dr. Paula's Mobile Veterinary Service - Thank you Dr. Paula and Leslee for being gentle with my fur-baby. 8/10/02 - 10/26/17 - Veterinarians Near Me - Grass Valley, California

If I could give 100 stars, I would. I called Dr Paula 3x to come euthanize my 18 year old dog. I canceled the first two times, because it just didn't seem like it was Palmer's time to go. I offered to pay them for their time, because I canceled twice and they declined the offer. Dr Paula said she knows how difficult it is and they would be there when we were ready. When we finally decided, they came and were SO kind hearted and gentle. They gave us as much time as needed and were very comforting. Thank you for helping us with such a very difficult decision. Thank you as well for your kindness. read more

Dr. Paula's Mobile Veterinary Service - Handsome Palmer - Veterinarians Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Dr Paula and he assistant we're amazing. We had puppies born early and couldn't find anyone to remove the dew claws quickly. She got back to me right away and came to my house the next day. They were so gentle and provided comfort to the puppies the entire time. They also did a well-check on all the puppies. They went to sleep just after the procedure. I would highly recommend her and plan to use them again. read more

Our cat Tiger needed euthanasia and we were told "sorry we aren't accepting any new patients ". The ultimate let down - when our poor cat needed someone to help him out of this world. He wasn't a new patient. He was a dying cat who needed help for a few minutes. read more

I wish I could have seen how the service. But my last email a few months ago was never responded to after their initial reply.

Dr. Paula, thank you for your professionalism and compassion. We cannot express our gratitude for your services during our time of need. read more

I refer to my dog as my "doghter"... if you are looking for a vet who is going to love and treat your animal as you treat them, Dr. Paula is your gal. Her staff is great, and talk about convenience!!! You can ask her anything and she will thoroughly address every concern! read more

Good response on service requests. Dr Pula is a class act. Honest and reasonably priced considering she comes to you. Our elderly dog was non-ambulatory and Dr Paula and staff were accommodating. It made it easy vs. having to load our lab into the car, drive to the vet, and have to unload. Then reverse to go home. Dr. Paula's service is a godsend! read more

I had to make the one of the hardest decisions in my life up until now and say "goodbye" to my sweet dog. I had done research and taken referrals of vets who would come to my home when the time came. I feel like my dog gave me the past 6 months to prepare and every time I thought it might be the time I would do a little bit more research for a vet who had good yelp reviews and who I thought, just by website, and photo, would be a good fit. I came across Dr. Paula many months back. I knew that when the time came she was possibly going to be one of two vets that I wanted to choose. A few weeks back, I knew it was time for me to make the decision, so I went back to her yelp page, read all the reviews, visited her website, and finally reached out. I immediately got an email back, which was then followed up by a phone call. We spoke over the phone and she was just the right mix of comforting and professional. When we hung up I knew I was going to go with her. My dog mommy instincts were right on. I emailed her back shortly after and she was so very kind in answering all my questions and when the day came she showed up on time along with her tech Leslee and made my sweet girls transition so very very peaceful. Throughout her visit, Dr. Paula would explain things, she was so extremely patient and compassionate through it all. Not too much, not too little. I don't know how to else to explain it. She has this calm way about her and Leslee her Tech/Asst. was the same way. If you ever have to make this tough decision I highly recommend having it done at home. For your pet, for you, for your heart and peace of mind. It costs a little bit more but it was worth every extra dollar. I couldn't have asked for a better last hour with my girl. Thank you, Dr. Paula and Leslee for everything you did for me and my family that day. read more

5 stars are simply not enough... My wife and I cannot recommend Dr. Paula enough. Her and her assistant, Leslie, have the most wonderful bed-side manner. They are professional and personable. Dr. Paula returns calls and gives you outstanding personal attention. We recently had to have them come by to put our cat of 15 1/2 years, Fifi, down after kidney failure. They helped make the painful decision as comfortable as possible. They always handled our Fifi with respect and kindness, even though Fifi never responded in kind! Our hearts are heavy that our little companion is no longer with us, but Dr. Paula and Leslie showed us so much kindness and compassion, we can literally not thank them enough. When we are ready for a new companion, one thing for sure is that Dr. Paula will be our vet. Dr. Paula and Leslie, thank you again. Your thoughtfulness and kindness truly helped us. read more

Dr. Paula is great. My rescue cat had an ear infection, and I didn't want to take her to the vet because she doesn't like other cats and didn't want my baby to be uncomfortable. Dr. Paula came that same day to my place, and, with her assistant, they cleaned my cat's ears, helped me order prescription food for my senior cat (that had omega 3 fatty acids), and they gave me an antibiotic drop to put in my cat's ears for 7 days. They were friendly, professional, skilled, and it was a perfect success. I will only call Dr. Paula for all of my cat's needs. They were sweet to my cat, gentle, everything I wanted in a vet. I absolutely recommend them to everyone who doesn't want to take their furry loved ones to a vet, and wants pet healthcare done in the comfort of their homes. Thank you Dr. Paula. I was stressed out on what to do about my cat's ear infection. I thought it was ear mites, but Dr. Paula educated me on how black ear wax = ear mites, but my cat had brown ear wax = infection. Dr. Paula gets an A+ from me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! THANKS A MILLION! read more

Dr. Paula came to our house and helped us with 4 strong and stranger shy cats. We are FIV free over here! Reasonable charge, and very patient and loving care. We have found a permanent veterinarian for sure! Her mobile facilities are squeaky clean and very professional. Couldn't believe it. Thank you for the help Dr. Paula. We will see you soon.

OMG Dr Paula saved my cat from surgery! I had taken my cat to a non-mobile vet who wanted to do surgery. But I delayed scheduling the surgery because I did not want to put my cat through the trauma. The bump kept growing, however, so I looked for another answer and found Dr Paula. What a God-send!!!! Her approach was to do some investigating work to see what it was before deciding what to do. That paid off. It turned out to be a fluid-filled cyst that Dr. Paula drained in about a minute... in my own home... no stress to the cat!!! And Dr. Paula and her assistant were so nice. The whole thing was wonderful! Thank you Dr. Paula, you are a gem!! read more

I have 4 furbabies and it is such a lifesaver to have a mobile vet (for the vaccinations alone!) My cats are deathly afraid of outside vet visits so this makes things totally stress free! My guys get up to a lot of shenanigans so we call on the regular and she is always timely, responsive and good-natured about my crazy questions! I also order my flea control and prescription kibble from her online store. Dr. Paula also made an excellent dog-walking/housesitting referral. We are very grateful for her help over here! read more

Dr. Paula and her assistant Phil are awesome. They did a great job with all three of my Pigs. They went above and beyond in all aspects. I highly recommend them! They are professional and thorough. You can't go wrong August 30, 2017 update- still 5-star performance with all my Pigs and my Rabbit. I highly recommend Dr. Paula. My Mother used her for a full examination on her dog. She's awesome. read more

Dr.Paula and her assistant were AMAZING!!! I called her in the morning and she was able to come to my place the same day. They were patient and understanding of my insecure big pit/lab girl. She answered any questions or concerns I had throughout the visit. I cant believe I just now found her , I will continue to call her for my furballs health concerns. Her mobile truck is clean , spacious and looks completely up to date on the inside out. Thank you Dr.Paula and Assistant for your patience and care to my fur daughter , Thanks so much! read more

1. Have you ever taken a frantic cat to a veterinarian? Have you ever tried to get that cat inside the carrier first, all four limbs splayed out while said cat's body is simultaneously turning it's head to bite you? It goes without saying that you've tried trickery first. Cat treats. String. Fake bird sounds. Avoid the agony and despair by calling Dr. Paula. 2. She essentially saved my cat Lefty. He was suffering from what seemed a UTI. Within 24 hours, she arrived to administer an examination, an antibiotic, and free samples of special food. He got better, then he got worse. I was so worried that I ended up taking him to a local vet's office (see #1 above) and $500 later, he was supposed to be a new man after 7 days' worth of various drugs. He seemed to get better, then he got worse. It was Dr. Paula who figured out that the drugs had probably made him constipated. Murilax! ($7.99). Problem solved (and the problem was solved over the phone). This is not to bash the local vet - Lefty did indeed test positive for urinary crystals, but the bottom line is that it was Dr. Paula who gets the credit for healing Lefty and saving my sanity. 3. Reasonable priced. 4. Really great bedside manner - and I don't mean just for your animals. It's always a plus to have a doctor tell you - the concerned animal lover and paying customer - what's going on with your furry children in clear and understandable terms. She also never seems to push procedures you don't need. I love that. read more

It was LESS expensive and much easier than rounding up the dogs to go into an office. Dr. Paula actually cares about your pet. We called her to get treatment for two of our three dogs and were able to get an appointment within about an hour and a half. Dr. Paula and her staff were friendly, thorough and even treated our third dog. On top of that, she had a coloring book to keep our son entertained, and left us with a goodie bag for our dogs. You can tell when someone loves their job because, not only are they good at it, they're prepared, are willing to come to you to do it, and cut out all the unnecessary bs in order to make things easier on the patient and the owner. I promise you...calling her is a good idea. read more

In the era of COVID, the mobile veterinary services of Dr. Paula and her assistant Rebecca, were a blessing to our family. Our precious 14 year old flat coat lab, Daisy, suddenly became ill and needed medical attention. I found Dr. Paula's mobile service through YELP. The empathy, kindness, knowledge, and care in diagnosing her condition was beyond our expectations. Our Daisy was clearly very ill. Dr. Paula gave us many options to confirm a diagnosis. She has very clear about the costs of blood work, X-rays, and ultrasounds, and discussed the benefits of each. With full confidence, we made our decision to do blood work. The news was not good and our angel was clearly in distress. We decided it was time to send her to heaven. Gently and lovingly, Dr. Paula and Rebecca supported our decision to put her to sleep. The extra care was extraordinary. How fortunate we are to have this incredible mobile veterinary service in our community. Thank you Dr. Paula and Rebecca read more

I love Dr Paula and Phil! They are so attentive and so quick to return calls and emails. Last night My 6 mos puppy somehow cut the back of her Achilles and I called and emailed Dr Paula at 8pm to schedule an Appt for the next day. She went over an above to respond to my email with some do it yourself tips to hold me over until morning and then put me on the schedule first thing. She got my Dixie all taken care of in under an hour right at my home. I highly recommend her for all your veterinary services. read more

Dr. Paula and Leslie are amazing! So sweet and helpful, don't hesitate to give them a call when you're in need.

Dr. Paula and Leslie were so great with the pups! Having her come to the house is such a nice, easy and calm experience verses going to the vet office. I liked not having to wait to get into a room and not be rushed out. Dr. Paula spent the time to ask many questions and really have a conversation about the pups. She really cares about her patients and explains things well. I would recommend Dr. Paula to all pet parents! read more

This is an extremely overdue review, but it must be said that Dr. Paula saved our dog. His QOL was declining due to severe matting (not by choice, my geriatric 17 year old dog is extremely aggressive when it comes to grooming). Dr. P normally DOES NOT groom pets , but seeing it was a situation where the dog needed to be sedated it called for a compassionate and amazing veterinarian. Thank you Dr. Paula and RVT for taking care of our little firecracker, Fluff that we love so much. read more

Mobile service with Dr. Paula was fantastic. Compassionate, timely, professional in every way. Worth every penny.

Most mobile vets in our rural area only serve farm animals so it was challenging to find a mobile vet for our dog. Luckily, we found Dr. Paula and her mobile veterinary service which was exactly what we needed when our older Great Pyrenees suddenly stopped being able to use his back legs. We called and left a message and received a response within the hour. Not only was she prompt to reply, she came out to our house the same day and provided exceptional care on site. She performed an exam, determined that his back had gone out, he needed some pain management to be able to move comfortably, and was able to administer medication to him right there. She even clipped his nails! Both Dr. Paula and her assistant vet tech were kind and incredibly competent and the services were much more affordable than going in to a vet clinic. Our big boy can move again and we'll never call another vet. If you live in the Grass Valley area, Dr. Paula and her mobile veterinary service is an exceptional resource. read more

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Paula. I found her your guessed it right here on Yelp. Our sweet angel Woody was 15 and had gotten very ill very fast she came to the house and did her exam on him outside on the patio his favorite place. She also was able to do blood work and get us the results that day before she left. Unfortunately Woody was in kidney failure and just nothing we could do for our sweet boy, we just were not ready so she taught me how to give him IV's and left one with us she came out a week later to help us with letting him go. It was the hardest day but she made it as easy as possible. We have another dog and she made sure she was ok as well. Dr. Paula and her amazing assistant never rushed us and made sure we understood the process and made sure Woody was as comfortable as he could be. When it is time for his sister to join him there is no one else I would call but Dr. Paula. She even checked in on us all afterward she isn't just a vet she is someone who cares as much for your animals as you do and it shows through everything she does. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and support. Do not look any further if you need a mobile vet she is without question the only call you should make. read more
