    My baby Buttons together 20 1/2 years  !  An amazing life for an amazing baby ! I love  you forever my Angel!

    Dr Sarah Whitley is the kindest, most compassionate doctor. I have had to do this 3 other times with my pets who passed prior to meeting Dr Whitley and I never felt as at peace as with Dr Whitley. She is genuinely warm, caring and empathetic. She is like a long time friend and at times like a therapist helping you along this very difficult journey. My baby Buttons was 20 1/2 yrs old all those years with me and then fighting cancer, I knew there was no other way when I saw her declining, I was so afraid and my heart so broken. The procedure went very smoothly and peacefully in Buttons safe place surrounded by our pack. Dr Sarah made the experience so much better. Now I am comforted knowing I did the right thing for Buttons and she is with God and my other dogs. I highly recommend Dr Sarah Whitley, she is truly the best!

    Kidney disease and old age took its toll on our sweet girl. The pain in her eyes told us it was her time to cross the rainbow bridge. She was terrified of the vet hospital so we opted to have her cross over at home. As typical of pitbulls, she enjoyed cuddling on the floor and that's where Dr Sarah met her. We booked on Dr Sarah's efficient and helpful webpage where we could see all of her pricing. We scheduled our appointment time (weekdays) and got to choose from a variety of optional upgrades for additional fees such as evening appointments, transportation to and arrangements for different types of cremation and pay for it all online (you could also pay with cash or check in person, the day of). We picked a next day appointment for 11am, 2 hour time range. The day of, she texted on her way to our house and arrived around 11:40. She brought the meds, blankets, wee pads (in case there's an accident during the event) and treats. Dr Sarah was kind and understanding. We gave her a few details about our dog's journey. She wasn't there to judge our decision, but validated that we felt it was time. She explained the process and had us sign a consent form. There was a blanket under our dog and a folded blanket under her head as a pillow. Our picky dog was nicely distracted by those treats while Dr Sarah administered sedation through an injection in the scruff of her neck, similar to a vaccine. After 7ish minutes our girl got very drowsy and laid down and that's when Dr Sarah put the wee pad under her lower half. We said our final goodbyes and when we were ready, Dr Sarah administered the final cocktail, which she gives intravenously in the back leg so we could be at her head telling her how much we loved her. I put my hand over her heart and felt her last beat, which took less than 30 seconds after administering. Dr Sarah brought in a stretcher and my husband and her picked up our dog and placed her on it. It states on her webpage that if customers choose to have her transport to the crematorium that she'll need help carrying the animal to her vehicle since it's only her. Together they carried our dog to Dr Sarah's SUV and slide her in the back. Then Dr Sarah was on her way. This was a very positive experience. We highly recommend Dr Sarah.

    Dr. Sarah was incredibly kind, gentle, and professional. She helped us give our dog Bacon the best last day. I will be forever grateful that our dog was able to pass at home cozy with her favorite people. She provides a wonderful service.

    Dr Sarah put down our second pug Hurley who was 15 and had the same loving experience. Our 2 year old pug misses him. I have referred her to so many people. She is so sweet, gentle, patient, caring and empathetic person during such a difficult time. She even goes over and beyond to send a card after telling us sorry for our loss. She is the best, reasonable and we would never goes anywhere else. Highly recommended!! Thank you much

    Losing a pet is never easy and I'm so sorry you're reading this post because it means you're having to make some really difficult decisions. Possibly the most difficult one you've had to make yet. You should know that Dr Sarah was as lovely as could be, especially during such a dark and dreadful time in a family's life. From start to finish everything was personal, comforting, and smooth. Scheduling was easy. Dr Sarah was punctual with her arrival estimate. She was gentle and understanding. I felt like she was the right person for this situation and that our sweet and beloved Kitty deserved her. Again, my heart goes out to you, dear reader. I hope you find exactly what you and your furry baby need, for us it was Dr Sarah and I'm forever grateful.

    Dr Sarah was the best person I could have ever hoped to have give my sweet girl Belle the ending she deserved. The amount of respect and care Dr Sarah gives is astounding. She allowed us the time we needed but she also let me go on and on about how wonderful my cat is. I was able to share stories with someone who you know truly loves animals and give my cat the proper goodbye where she was laying in her sunspot. Dr Sarah even got her to eat one last snack which was amazing since my cat had not been eating anything. It was a beautiful moment and Dr Sarah is an absolute saint for doing this work. If you are needing to make the choice to let your pet go peacefully please reach out to Dr Sarah.

    Miss Kitty...RIP

    Thankyou Dr. Sarah for taking such gentle care of Miss Kitty in her final hour. You made a very sad, difficult time for me much better, your sincerity made a huge difference with a tough decision...

    Coco my sweet girl.

    See all

He is compassionate, thorough, and genuinely cares about his patients. I've also had good experiences with one or two staff members, but unfortunately my interactions with much of the rest of the staff have been disappointing. My dog, Bodhi, had surgery at RAMC in July 2025 to remove several lumps. During surgery, Dr. Singh found another lump within the same incision site, removed it, and didn't charge me for the additional removal. I truly appreciated his thoughtfulness and care. At Bodhi's bandage removal appointment, a younger male technician handled the visit. I asked to stay with my dog, and he agreed. The bandage was adhered tightly, and although he initially used adhesive remover, he quickly became impatient and began ripping the bandage off. Bodhi was clearly uncomfortable, and I left wondering how he would have been treated if I hadn't been present. I returned in September 2025 for another FNA, and once again Dr. Singh was excellent. In early June, Bodhi needed another FNA. Because of my previous experience, I requested that the same technician not handle my dog. Dr. Singh understood my concerns and was very reassuring. A week later, Bodhi was diagnosed with lymphoma. After discussing my options, I initially considered less invasive treatment before deciding on palliative care. Dr. Singh had advised me to stop Apoquel because lymphoma was suspected, so Bodhi spent nearly two weeks suffering from severe itching while I weighed my options. I contacted the office to ask about Laverdia, an oral chemotherapy medication. I was told they had spoken with Dr. Singh, ordered the medication, and would contact me when it arrived. They also recommended seeing an oncologist, which was difficult because appointments and callbacks took several days. I never received a follow-up. After six days, I reached back out because I had no choice but to start Bodhi on prednisone due to his worsening itching and enlarging lymph nodes. In that same email, I also requested refills for his prednisone and gabapentin since I was only given a 22 day supply. Again, I received no response. Maybe they eventually would have answered if I had continued calling or emailing, but by then I had lost confidence in the staff. I was left wondering whether I would have made different treatment decisions had someone simply followed through with the communication they promised. Aside from one longtime veterinary technician, I also found the front desk staff to be cold during one of the hardest moments of my life. I wasn't expecting sympathy, but a few kind words would have meant a great deal. Dr. Singh is the reason this review is three stars instead of one. He treated Bodhi with compassion and treated me with empathy throughout this difficult process. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and follow-through from the rest of the staff overshadowed an otherwise positive experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt this one was important. When a family is facing the loss of a beloved pet, timely communication matters. I hope this feedback encourages RAMC to improve so other families don't experience the same frustration during such a difficult time.

    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.

    We came here back in May with problem that arises with our dog. She got bit by the neighbor next…read moredoor dog. So there this little gash wounds by her lower lip. We tried another emergency vet and the reception area and the receptionist makes me so depressed. Receptionist there also make sure we don't sit there and wait and bait us to go elsewhere. Trust me after the interaction with her. Funeral sounds better than going through that process with her. So we took the bait and left. Don't need to tell us twice. We left there and VSH was about 10 minutes away. They weren't busy with waiting room semi empty. We spoke to the receptionist. She was very nice, friendly and helpful. Which is I know is different if one place is hectic. Employees will be irritated but if you choose this high stress job. You will have to deal with drama that comes with it. This place was not the same in every single details to the previous ER vet we were at. Air in the reception area flow well throughout. No claustrophobic atmosphere. Very courteously warm in etiquette and proper addressing to their clients. Very pleasant in all. We got called to go to a room which wasn't too long before we see anyone. The vet tech came in took our girl to assess and the vet came in not too long after to let us know that she have a small puncture wound but nothing else more. Due to it being in such an awful area. Doing anything more will only make it worse. So she cleaned the wounds and will prescribe an antibiotics to help so it doesn't get infected and also a pain meds clavamox to help to keep her comfortable. The quickest easiest vet visit EVER HAVE! So we have to say that we are very grateful for them. We also don't live in Roseville. Just visiting my brothers and the family. So Thank you to all the staff here for making our already stress situation less stress. We are truly blessed to discover this place. Thank you

As an experienced Great Dane owner I was worried about possible bloat which is life threatening. Bloat is diagnosed with a X-ray to see if thier stomach has flipped. A tech came into the lobby, took one quick look at him, and said, "He looks fine," then told me I'd have to wait because the other tech wouldn't arrive until 9:00. When you're dealing with a giant breed puppy showing symptoms that can be life threatening, that kind of dismissal is extremely unsettling. After waiting, we did see the veterinarian. She was kind, professional, and explained the next steps clearly. Later in the day I was called to pick him up and was told he just had a very upset stomach and needed to start prescription dog food. However, no one not the tech or the front desk provided any information about how to obtain the prescription food. No written prescription, no instructions, nothing. I had to call my personal vet, who explained that I needed a written prescription and that the food had to be purchased at PetSmart. This is basic discharge information that should have been provided. Overall, the veterinarian was great, but the tech staff's communication and the discharge process were frustrating and disappointing.

    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.

    It was easy enough to schedule an appointment though I was very hesitant to pay their $69 fee that…read morethey will charge you before even seeing anybody. 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.

In December, my sweet 7-year-old Golden, Addie, was diagnosed with severe pulmonary edema by her primary vet. This hit us out of nowhere because, despite being so sick, she, being the sweet girl that she was, was still doing everything she could to please us and love on us. Even though it was Christmas time and they were very busy, we were able to schedule an appointment with Marqueen for the next day (Christmas Eve) to see if we could pull some of the fluid off and make things easier for her. We were hoping to have some time. During her initial exam, she was all loves and tail wags for the tech and the vet. She didn't act like she was super ill. Typical Addie. She only wanted to love on her new friends. Dr. McDonald pulled her back for a scan and a more thorough check. When she brought her back in, by the look on her face, I just knew. She had to give me the news that Addie was decompensating and was in the process of dying. We likely had hours. Despite her tail wags and eager disposition, her body was giving out on her. We discussed our options, and we decided together to let her go peacefully before she really started to struggle. Dr. McDonald and the Marqueen team allowed me to go home quickly to get our other dog, my husband, and our daughter so everyone could say goodbye. They watched over her while I was gone. Upon our return, they allowed us all the time we needed to love on her just as she had loved on us for seven years. When it was time, I laid down on the floor, big-spooned my sweet girl, and told her how much we loved her. I thanked her for being the amazing girl that she was. Dr. McDonald walked us through the entire process. She had a calm voice and was so soothing to us, and to Addie. We were allowed to spend as much time as we needed with her after she passed. Not once did we feel rushed. We were even able to bring our other dog in to say goodbye. While it was an absolutely devastating time, I can't say enough about the compassion that the Marqueen staff provided to us that day. I was able to leave knowing we made the best decision for our Addie girl, and that her passing was as smooth and peaceful as we could provide. Thank you, Dr. McDonald. I hope you see this, because I have thought of you so much since that day and truly appreciate how warm and kind you were. Thank you for being so... human. Addie was an amazing girl, and she deserved to have a vet just as amazing to help her through her final steps toward the rainbow bridge.

    It was during 2020 (Covid) I was looking for a new veterinary. I was in the second row, in my car,…read morewaiting for the Veterinary doctor to come to my car. I had my two Persian kitties Sassette (my little girl ) and Dante, my little guy (brother and sister which I've had them since they were three months old... they were nine years old then! He, was talking to the car in front of me that had a dog in the car and I was listening to him. He was so compassionate, caring, and thoughtful...That I thought WOW...I found my kitties new doctor so I made an appointment... Turns out his name was Dr. Foster and I have been going there for the past six years. He is probably the best Veterinarian doctor I have ever met. I also see Doctor Mulliken, who my kitty's also saw she is great too!!! The front office Mary, Laura, Stevie, and Rachel (I believe the office manager) are all wonderful. Ben, T.K they are the doctors assistance are kind and wonderful... Everyone there is professional, kind, and so supportive and wonderful! December 2025, my little guy Dante (14 then) had kidney problems and we had to be put him to sleep. It was so very painful beyond words for me, and my son and yet when we got there, they had an office set up in the back room with the lights, dimmed and soft music and they treated HIM so kind! We had Dante cremated, and Dr. Foster recommended a place which were wonderful. I keep his picture and the lovely box he's in, in front of me and think of him every day with wonderful memories! In May of this year 2026, my little girl Sassette got sick and it was thought that she had a cold or the flu. For a week and a half she did not eat all she did just drink water and it had to be out of the sink because she couldn't put her head down to get to the water in the water bowl. She was given an antibiotic and after a few days, Dr. Foster saw her and determined that whatever she was given, it was not working, and he changed her to a different antibiotic and then still for another week and a half she didn't eat, but every day we took her to see them as he wanted her to have water and liquids in her. The last week it was kind of determined if she didn't make it and start eating, she wouldn't make it and she would die... But then on Thursday (about a week and a half later) she started eating I was beyond grief, beyond worrying, watching her lay in her comfy bed and watching her what I thought that she was dying ...so scared and so sad to watch my little girl laying there dying in front of me... she had gone from 6 pounds to 4.2 pounds! She was skin and bones! But then, a miracle...she started eating (after not eating for again almost a week and a half) so whatever Dr. Foster did he SAVED her LIFE!!!Beyond words!!! Thank God!!! I am so indebted to him and to his staff all of them for helping her and me through this PAINFUL process!!! Their kindness and caring helped me through again this difficult time for me and for my SASSETTE! So I am recommending to anyone that is reading this. What a wonderful doctor, "Dr. Foster" is and everyone else there....a wonderful and caring staff. I remain so indebted to all of them, but again, especially to Dr. Foster... God bless!

    To all the amazing people at Douglas Vet, Abby and I want to…read morethank each of you for the love and kindness you showed our beloved Kit Kat. Making this decision was one of the hardest moments of our lives. We had always planned to have someone come to our home, but because of the bond Kit Kat had with Dr. Foster, we knew she would feel at peace with him -- and so did we. Your entire staff has always been so kind. Before finding Dr. Foster, we visited several veterinarians (including UC Davis) and never felt truly cared for until we met him. Our hearts were broken, but Dr Foster's compassion made this experience easier. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love, Lauren and Abby
