    Be warned: don't take your dogs there . Took my dog, Charlie, because he wasn't eating and he looked really sick. Dr Ross told me that it looked like he was in pain from a leg injury which he didnt even have. From when we arrived to when we left the very it took about 5 minutes sent me home with some pain medicine to give him which he didnt take because he wouldn't eat anything. Then the same day I called a different vet and I told them what was wrong. They immediately told me to bring him in. They did an ultrasound x-ray and they gave me the bad news that my dog had a tumor next to his heart that ruptured and his belly was filled with fluid which made him feel full a reason why he didnt want to eat as well. That day was the hardest day of my life, I had let my boy go! . And I see a lot more bad reviews on here as well. I wish I had checked before taking him there. Well hope this helps save other animals .

    Dr. Ross is an excellent Veterinarian doctor. I brought my Bichon Frise to his office yesterday because she was very ill with diarrhea, vomiting and I didn't know if she had pancreatitis or intestinal problems. He diagnosed the problem and prescribed medicine and she was better today. I recommend Dr. Ross for anyone who has pets. Thank you Dr. Ross and staff!

    A special thank you to Dr. Ross and staff your extraordinary care and kindness made putting our Golden Max down an easier process. Before coming here we were taken advantage of and treated horribly as our dying dog was in pain and in need of immediate care. We took our dog to Dr. Ross and they immediately took our dog in handled our situation.

    Do they do x-ray for the dog?

    I don't think so as I haven't seen an X-ray machine in the clinic. It's always good to call the vet.

    I have an 18yo Chihuahua named Missy.Recently her hearing seems to have gone away.She seems so sad and confused. Shes always been timid and handing her to someone from car window i think would scare her so much. Is that still the way its being done?

    No, I took my dog into the office last week.

    How much is it to get a small dogs teeth cleaned?

    Contact Dr. Ross' for current cost, but for teeth cleaning for each canine less than 20 lbs. was $200.50, that includes extractions if needed. Brief examination $27 each before cleaning, and $21 for amoxicillin for both my Chihuahua's. Blood work…

Despite my dog acting completely out of control due to severe anxiety, everyone there is extremely nice and accommodating to her. Linda at the front desk is so sweet. Dr. Machicao is the absolute best! She's been very good with my weenie, never pushy, and explains things thoroughly for me to understand. Every procedure we've had done has gone well. I'm happy with VCA

    Absolutely do NOT recommend VCA Old River Animal Hospital. They have changed for the worse…read more Their system "glitched" and somehow deleted my dog's long-standing auto-ship medication that had been on file with Dr. Jackson, who was AMAZING. Of course, Dr. Jackson has now left, and everything has gone downhill since. Now the "general manager" -- who is not a veterinarian -- decided to play doctor and tell me that my dog's condition, pannus (chronic superficial keratitis, scar tissue/cloudiness in BOTH eyes), isn't a chronic condition. That is flat-out wrong. Pannus IS chronic and requires lifelong management. I'm sorry, but where did you get your veterinary license to make medical decisions? Instead of simply continuing an established treatment plan that has already been diagnosed, documented, and treated for, they now want me to: Cancel all my existing plans Schedule a visit with another doctor Pay AGAIN Just to be told the exact same thing: Yes, he has pannus. Yes, it's chronic. Yes, he needs ongoing medication. This is a complete waste of time, completely unnecessary stress for my dog, and feels like nothing more than a money-making scheme. This hospital used to be great. Now it's disorganized, dismissive, and more interested in billing than patient care. Losing Dr. Jackson clearly took the quality of care with him. Highly disappointed. Highly frustrated. Highly do NOT recommend.

We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy veterinary office and highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets!

    Disappointing Experience & Questionable Practices…read more We brought our 11-week-old Pomsky puppy to Tracy Veterinary Medical Center after she injured her leg. We were hoping for compassionate care at a fair price -- but our experience was far from that. 1 Repeated Charges Without Clear Medical Benefit Our puppy was diagnosed with a hairline fracture and placed in a splint. We were told to come back weekly for rechecks. Each visit became the same pattern: * Remove splint * Quick exam * New splint applied * Recommend more X-rays Every visit = more charges. ~$125 each time just for the new splint, plus X-rays. It added up fast, with little explanation of why repeat X-rays were needed for a minor fracture. They also pushed additional pain meds even after we explained she was not acting like she was in pain. The upselling felt constant and unnecessary. 2 Concerning and Conflicting Communication A doctor (who was not the first one who treated her) suddenly told us they originally questioned whether her leg could be saved and even considered amputation. This was never mentioned at the first visit -- where they simply took an X-ray and applied a splint. Hearing a more dramatic story later from someone who wasn't there felt misleading and unprofessional. We left more confused than when we arrived. Wait times were also long. We routinely waited 30+ minutes past our appointment time, and splint changes often took hours if we left her there. 3 Poor Quality of Care One visit, they admitted the X-rays taken were at the wrong angle and had to be redone. We weren't charged twice, but presenting their mistake as a "favor" did not inspire confidence. 4 No Accountability or Compassion The final straw: the last splint fell off within 3 hours of being placed. We called immediately -- their response: * We would have to pay again for a replacement splint * They had no time to help us that day We explained we were leaving town the next morning and needed help urgently. No flexibility, no empathy. When we returned Monday to speak in person, we were met with: * No apology * No "I'm sorry you're dealing with this" * No concern for how our puppy was doing * No follow-up guidance on alternatives or better care We completely understand that dogs can chew off splints. But compassion shouldn't come off with it. 5 Overall Impression After multiple visits, inconsistent messaging, constant charges, and zero empathy, we lost all trust in this clinic. We know vet care can be expensive -- but respect, honesty, and customer care are not optional when someone is concerned for their pet. Bottom Line: We cannot recommend Tracy Veterinary Medical Center. Our puppy deserved better -- and so did we. We noticed many positive reviews for this clinic, and if others are getting the service they expect, that's wonderful for them. But our experience did not match those reviews or our expectations. Based on what we went through, we strongly recommend staying clear of this place. Take your pet elsewhere. 100% not recommended.

Luckily, only two teeth extractions were needed. One of the meds for the teeth extraction is liquid and needs to be refrigerated, but I got a cup of ice from a fast food place for the long drive home. For me, it was worth taking the time off and exploring the area, even with the extra driving time. I was at the Pet Advocates office door around 7:45am and I was heading home by 3:30PM. I will be coming back to Pet Advocates for as long as I can. Many thanks to the vet and staff who patiently took care of G'dog. He is already doing better without the previous pain in his mouth.

Our dog Mochi recently started having seizures (two of which happened at Jules Vet) that seem to be caused by anxiety / stress. Jules vet has gone the extra mile to make sure his appointments since then are as stress free and comfortable as possible for him. We had an appointment yesterday and I was worried he'd have another seizure. They called in advance and had a plan in place to make sure all went smoothly (which it did). Dr. Olsen is amazing and has helped walk us through this new journey of having a pet with epilepsy.

    We've been bringing our dog Epic to Jules Veterinary for the past few months as she battled cancer…read more After nearly 12 wonderful years with her, we were faced with the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye. From the moment we scheduled the appointment, Jules' team was kind, sincere, and incredibly accommodating. When we arrived, someone quickly guided us into a private room, giving us the space and privacy to say our final goodbyes. You could feel the empathy in the room -- the staff genuinely understood how painful this moment was for us. Epic wasn't just a pet; she was part of our family. We spent nearly an hour holding her, reminiscing, and even helping our almost 5-year-old daughter begin to understand the cycle of life and death. The vet was gentle, detailed, and respectful, explaining the process with so much care that it helped ease some of our grief. They gave us the option to keep a piece of Epic with us -- clipping a bit of her fur and offering a keepsake paw print, which arrived a few days later for pick up. It was beautifully done and means so much to us now. While no goodbye is ever perfect, and there are always little things you wish could be different in hindsight, the team at Jules made an impossibly hard day just a little softer. They treated us -- and Epic -- with dignity, patience, and love. We weren't just another family. Epic wasn't just another dog. Thank you, Jules Vet, for helping us say goodbye in the most caring way possible.

Easily perfect service, from them and the vet tech who did the work. 5/5* 1 month and 3 days later, I call this business back because I'd like to give them more business- that's what you do when you feel cared for. I'm not gonna bad mouth nobody, but whoever answered today completely turned me off from this place. Sam come train the weekend warrior. You don't tell the customer who states exactly what they want- which is a service you provide, that they have to jump through hoops to get it. (pay for an exam, speak to a doctor and assess if that's what she needs.). I know what my babygirl needs and wanted to go somewhere I thought I could trust.

Gui Gui had been limping since last Wednesday, and Dr. Haburjak's team was able to quickly find an appointment for us that Monday. During the visit, Dr. Haburjak performed a very thorough physical examination and determined that he did not believe Gui Gui's knee was the source of the problem. He carefully identified the hock as a possible source and immediately referred us to a specialist. What touched me most was how much Dr. Haburjak personally did to make sure Gui Gui received the care he needed as quickly as possible. He immediately called and texted the specialist to help get Gui Gui seen as soon as possible. He also sent us a detailed and thoughtful email explaining his concerns and introduced us directly to the specialist. He went above and beyond to make sure there was a smooth transition of care. It turned out that Gui Gui had a serious infection in his hock--septic arthritis. I truly believe Dr. Haburjak's careful examination, clinical judgment, quick action, and genuine concern for Gui Gui made all the difference. His prompt identification of the problem and immediate referral helped Gui Gui receive the urgent treatment he needed. In my heart, I truly believe he saved Gui Gui's life. I feel incredibly lucky to have such an amazing surgeon and such a wonderful team in the area where I live. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Gui Gui is in the hands of people who genuinely care about their patients. I cannot thank Dr. Haburjak and his entire team enough for everything they did for Gui Gui. I truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, compassion, and dedication. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    I would like to preface by saying that I don't like leaving poor reviews for companies…read more First, I'd like to start by saying the welcoming staff IN PERSON here was great. Very friendly and thoughtful. My complaints are not directly to anyone, but mostly being misled by what this hospital can do and when it can be done. I scheduled a consultation with internal medicine for August 4th. At the time of scheduling, I let them know that I was referred to them for a rhinoscopy and CT for my dog. They told me over the phone they sometimes can do the procedure the same day but it's uncommon. I understood that but still scheduled, hopeful that they could still do a rhinoscopy in the near future as it was something my primary vet urged me to do soon. They had me pay the consultation fee on same day to confirm my appointment, which I didn't question at the time. Keep in mind, they knew I needed a rhinoscopy with internal medicine specifically at the time I made this call. At the time of our appointment, we met with Dr. Louis who was very knowledgeable and kind. When I asked him about scheduling the rhinoscopy, he said they do not have the equipment needed for that procedure at this hospital (IronHorse) and he is only in the hospital that has the equipment (OakVet) ONCE A MONTH. Adding to that, he was out of town in August so we were looking at September. When I asked the nurse about September, she said there was a line so it's possible we couldn't get in. At this time, I was feeling very frustrated because I felt so misled that they knew the procedure couldn't be done anytime soon but still took my money for the consultation fee and led me to believe this hospital could perform the procedure. If I knew OakVet was the one that had the equipment, I would've just scheduled there. But this information was never offered to me over the phone at the time of scheduling the initial consult. I was told the estimate for the future procedure would be sent to me by the end of the week (this was Tuesday 8/4) and didn't receive anything by Friday. I called on Friday and they said end of day, and I did not receive anything end of day. I called again on Monday and they said they are backed up, I should have it soon. It's now 8/16 and I have not received a call or email with my estimate. Overall, the communication and professionalism of some staff at this hospital is not something I'd subject myself to again. I think once they finish the merge with OakVet, it could function better but if you're looking to get a rhinoscopy and CT, I would look elsewhere. We were able to go to Sage Dublin that same week and have the procedure done. All other vets in the area that I called were very transparent about how booked they were and if they have the equipment to perform the procedure I asked about.

Thank you Banfield for having one of the best doctors as your staff!

    If only there was a zero star rating…read more In a nutshell, the overall ratings of this location as 2 stars says it all. But here's our story: We took our cat to them for serious issues. Their temp doctor said tests needed to be done, but we should take him to VEG in San Ramon. So we did. VEG took care of him. Then I looked at the paperwork from Banfield before sending it to our insurance. The date of birth was made up because we were never asked. Then a bunch of items were marked as "client declined", which never happened. It's been 3 weeks we've been trying and each time we were told they don't have a way to get a hold of the doctor and he's the only one that can change things. When asked for the manager, we were told she was out sick. Each time it was, "she should be back in a couple of days". After getting tired of this, I called the corporate office. Got a run around and then transferred to a "care team member". I was told that someone should get back to me within 3-5 business days. 6 business days later, yesterday I went there and the receptionist said she was out sick. When I said I wasn't leaving without speaking with someone, she appeared out of the back office. Needless to say, she wasn't helpful, but was rude and said she was going to call the cops. And gave me a number to the corporate office (wrong number). I said she should and I called their corporate office at the correct number I had. The person told me she would escalate the complaint and I should hear back before the end of the day. Didn't happen. I called again right now and got the same 3-5 days story. Apparently the so called "care team" is a buffer to keep customers from voicing their concerns to the stakeholders. I asked the "care team member" what happens if I don't get a call back? She said without hesitation that I'd have to wait another 3 days and call again. If you don't think this is ridiculous, I don't know what is. When you read the above, a lot of questions about discrepancies will arise. The question to each discrepancy is "Why?" Why the refusal to correct? Why the lies? Why no return calls? Why they said they don't have the number to call the doctor they call all the time? Why? Why? Why? Finally, what is it they are trying to hide or avoid? If you care about your pet's health, avoid this place and any Banfield hospital.
