DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG TO THIS VET…read more On April 12th we took our dog in to an emergency appointment and it was the worst mistake we could have made. Our dog was experiencing pain on one of her hind legs. After $1200, she was misdiagnosed with a partial ligament tear, was given anti-inflammatory meds and we went off with a plan to return on April 17th for follow up blood work as her CBC (WBC) were dangerously low. On Wednesday, April 15 my dog began vomiting and having bloody diarrhea, I contacted Dry Creek the next day to give them an update and was told to monitor and keep the planned appointment for April 17th. On April 17th we went back and my dog was experiencing a very high fever, I told them I didn't want to continue to give her the carprofen because I think that's what caused the upset stomach, I had last administered it on Thursday April 16th. Dr Lehil agreed and changed her anti-inflammatory meds, and prescribed other meds (antibiotics). Kept our dog for the day and released her that evening after she was showing no signs of a fever. During the weekend my dog stopped eating and drinking water and we were to return on Monday, April 20th for yet another follow-up. At that time my dog had a fever again, and we were told we could keep her there or take her to another vet - that's when I should have ran but because they knew what was going on with my dog, had administered bloodwork, etc we kept her there for the day. At 5 pm when we picked her up my dog still had a fever and we were told it was because she was excited while she was kenneled. The Dr (a different vet) told me to take her off of the anti-inflammatory and put her on a strict bland diet. They also prescribed more meds that I never gave my dog because I was petrified of how my dog would react to yet more medication. We took her home and by 7 pm I was rushing her to VCA Loomis for an emergency. My dog became unstable and began breathing rapidly and her fever had increased, in addition I noticed her paw was injured while at Dry Creek earlier that day. VCA Loomis did an ultrasound and when I shared with the vet that they changed out her anti-inflammatory pills from one day to the next she became concerned that my dog may have developed an ulcer as it is recommended that at least 5 days pass before a new anti-inflammatory is administered. In fact, the ultrasound determined my dog had quite a bit of inflammation to her GI system. In addition, the vet at VCA Loomis told me my dog had a complete tear of the ligament and not partial as we had previously been told by Dr. Lehil. I called Dry Creek asking to talk to the owner or office manager and they never called, I went in 2 weeks later and was told the owner would call me. She called the next day and basically said they did what was recommended, didn't take responsibility for any of it and put it on me saying I had the option of taking her to VCA Loomis. All in all, we spent close to $3500 at Dry Creek and my dog's health only deteriorated. If it weren't for VCA Loomis we may have lost her.

Nomination for Veterinarian of the Year: Dr. Sukeep Kaur, DVM…read more Rocklin Ranch Veterinary Hospital For more than fifteen years, Dr. Sukeep Kaur has been one of the quiet, steady forces holding up the animal‑welfare community in Placer County. Her impact is profound, yet she rarely speaks of it. She simply shows up--day after day, year after year--offering her skill, compassion, and time to the people and pets who need her most. Dr. Kaur is known throughout our region as a veterinarian who leads with her heart. She routinely provides free spay and neuter surgeries for low‑income families and for individuals who have no means to pay. She never advertises this generosity; she simply steps in when she sees a need. For many pet owners, her kindness is the difference between keeping a beloved companion or surrendering them. For countless cats and kittens, her willingness to help has prevented suffering and reduced the number of unwanted litters entering local shelters. Her partnership with Kitten Central--our nonprofit neonatal veterinary hospital--has been invaluable. For over fifteen years, Dr. Kaur has been the person we call when emergencies arise, when a fragile newborn kitten needs immediate intervention, or when we face a medical question that requires expert insight. She has never once turned us away. Her guidance has saved lives that would not have survived without her. One of the most meaningful examples of her community impact is her involvement in Senior Saturdays, a monthly outreach program she participates in with one of our board members. Together, they visit nursing homes and assisted‑living communities, bringing small, gentle kittens for residents to hold and interact with. These visits are more than a moment of joy--they are therapy. Residents who seldom speak begin talking. Those who rarely smile light up. Individuals with memory challenges become calm and engaged. Dr. Kaur handles each kitten with tenderness and each resident with dignity, creating a bridge of comfort between generations. Her presence transforms the room. Despite her extensive volunteer work, Dr. Kaur maintains a demanding professional schedule. She works four days a week at one Rocklin Ranch location and fills in at their other practice whenever a veterinarian is sick or on vacation. Most people would call that exhausting. She calls it relaxing. Her dedication to her profession is matched only by her love for the animals and families she serves. What makes Dr. Kaur truly exceptional is not just the number of hours she gives, but the spirit in which she gives them. She never seeks recognition. She never asks for credit. She simply believes that helping animals--and the people who love them--is her responsibility as a veterinarian and as a member of this community. I am certain that what I know of her contributions is only a fraction of the whole. Her humility means that much of her good work happens quietly, without fanfare. But the impact is unmistakable: healthier pets, supported families, comforted seniors, and a stronger, more compassionate community. For her unwavering service, her extraordinary generosity, and her deep commitment to both people and animals, Dr. Sukeep Kaur deserves to be recognized as Veterinarian of the Year. Her work has touched thousands of lives, and our community is immeasurably better because of her.

Her empathy, kindness, and calm demeanor made an incredibly difficult moment feel peaceful and gentle. She explained every step of the process so we understood what she was doing and what to expect during the in-home euthanasia. Because of her compassion, we were able to hold our fur baby throughout the entire process, which meant the world to us. Saying goodbye to a cherished pet is one of the hardest things a family can face. It was especially difficult for us because he has been with us since he was just three weeks old--when my husband brought him home, and we bottle-fed him as a tiny ball of baby fluff. After 18 years as part of our family, letting him go was heartbreaking. Dr. Sarah handled everything with such care and respect, giving our sweet boy a peaceful and loving goodbye in the comfort of his home. We highly recommend Dr. Sarah/Faithful Friend and we are deeply grateful for her compassion during such a painful time.

But after day 2, I decided to bring Aspen in to see what was going on. Aspen had an issue with frequent urination, and the inability to hold it in. Prior blood tests came back normal, so we monitored him closer for the next few months. Fast forward to November 2025, his visit to Loomis Basin vet clinic revealed that he was having internal issues that were likely not going to be solved. I was unaware how severe his condition had become. The vet had suggested that if Aspen did not drastically improve with his eating, it may be time to put him down. For the next few days we gave him prescribed medication for nausea, etc, and tried everything we could to get him to eat. On 11/25, we had to make the awful decision to put him down via euthanasia. He had completely stopped eating, lost a significant amount of weight, and appeared very lethargic. While this was a horrible experience for our family, VCA Loomis Basin was very helpful and supportive throughout the process. Dr. Kaiser and Dr. Mueller even sent me a hand written card expressing their sympathy. They were extremely kind and caring to us, and we will never forget the way we were treated and supported during this. My friend of 10 years passed away in my arms, and the staff made it very comfortable for us. The clinic also works with a company that has great cremation products - and now I get to bring Aspen with me everywhere I go! Thank you Dr. Mueller and Dr. Kaiser.

My cat ate about 10" of dental floss. It was pretty late at night so my husband called around to…read morefind a 24 emergency vet. He called this one and we were told they could do an x-ray and endoscopy to remove the floss. It was a very foggy night, but we read the dangers of floss making it into the intestinal track and was very worried, so we drove 1.25 hours to go to this vet under the assumption that the floss would be removed so we would not have to take the chance of my cat dying. Well when we got there they told us they were going to try to make her throw up to get the floss out. It took them two hours to give meds and of spinning my poor cat in a chair just to come and tell us she did not throw up, we will have to go home and come back at 6am for the doctor to arrive. By the time this whole nightmare was over at 6am the floss would have already reached my cats intestinal track so at 6 am they couldn't even preform the endoscopy. They basically lied to us to tell us to come in and they could x-ray and preform the endoscopy. My husband and I put our lives at risk to drive 1 hour and 15 minutes on one of the most foggy nights I have ever seen because we were told they could do the endoscopy when we arrived! If we had to wait till 6am we could have just gone to a local vet. I am so disgusted by this place that calls themselves emergency veterinary office. What a joke! Read what can happen if your cat eats floss, tell me if you would be worried and want an emergency veterinary to look at your baby too. Hugh waste of our time and money, not to mention the fact that we told them how far we were coming and they knew how foggy it was. Oh and the vet told us to drive erratically on the way home in hopes of getting the cat to throw up in the car! SMFH

I moved to this veterinary clinic due to my preferred vet being overloaded and difficult to get…read moreappointments with. The reviews here seem to be glowingly positive and I wanted to support a local business. Sadly, I was greatly disappointed. My concerns and reason for visit were consistently not taken seriously. For example, when I brought my pet in with upper respiratory issues, I was told "it's not that bad." Well, if ignored, it is actually /is/ that bad. Repeatedly, I sensed a hesitancy to treat my pets' issues proactively, and found the bedside manner here to be sorely lacking. I brought in my pet with symptoms consistent with an upper respiratory infection. Instead of any antibiotics, I was prescribed steroids and an inhaler, which were consistently ineffective. Unfortunately, I allowed this to go on for far too long at this vet and should have listened to my instincts. Three months into this treatment (still without antibiotics), I was told that since my pet didn't respond to steroids, "it's probably cancer" and told to get in with a specialist asap (and that it would be many thousands of dollars). I'll admit I do not have a PhD, but this doesn't seem like very scientific diagnostic criteria to leap to cancer. I fully acknowledge that the realm of veterinary medicine is vast and we still don't know that much about the body in the grand scheme of things, but being consistently ignored and then leaping directly to cancer seems like a stretch. I sought a second opinion at my previous vet, who agreed that leaping to cancer without diagnostics was kind of cruel to my mental health. They promptly issued antibiotics. I also scheduled an appointment with internal medicine elsewhere out of fear from hearing the "cancer" word thrown around. Sure enough, there was a bacterial infection that should have been treated with antibiotics. Due to the delays and not prescribing an antibiotic, the bacterial infection was allowed to go on far too long, resulting in bony destruction. Despite the vet claiming I needed to urgently get my pet in with internal medicine, we still experienced lengthy delays getting copies of my pet's medical records--unfortunately, many internal medicine specialists will not schedule an appointment with you until they've received the records from the prior vet, which just led to further delays. The poor communication, poor attitude, and poor bedside manner further tanked my opinion of my experiences here. Dropping the "cancer" bomb on me with no diagnostics--rude and poorly handled, honestly. I also felt like there was a consistent attitude against me wanting to see the pricing before agreeing to treatment. It should be noted that I agreed to the treatments, however, we all know that in the veterinary and medical world, sometimes there's sticker shock when you see the price. I'd prefer transparency. Asking to see the pricing before committing to expensive treatment seemed to earn quite a few huffs and puffs from staff and the doctor. Overall, my biggest lesson learned here is to get a second opinion, particularly when the symptoms are downplayed for far too long and then the diagnosis suddenly leaps from "asthma" to "cancer." Trust your gut. This is just one example (definitely the most expensive) of my experiences here, but they were consistent enough for me to feel that this was a pattern.

When I arrived at the vet, I was greeted by a receptionist who seemed overwhelmed as she was dealing with an angry customer over the phone and a full waiting room. As I sit there waiting patiently, I noticed a few ticks crawling around the waiting area after which I picked my dog up off the ground. VERY unsanitary. When it finally came down to checking in, I was told that I "called in to cancel" my appointment which I clearly did not do as evidenced by my presence and my taking time off to make it to my dogs appointment. They were unwilling to fill my appointment in a timely manner and had given me an option to reschedule. This place is obviously overbooked, understaffed, and impersonal, all of which screams production line $$$$. Based on the sanitation, unprofessionalism, and inability to make up for their staff errors, I would not recommend this place. You are better off going to a place with more personal, courteous care.
