The Saturday the morning of December 28th we called Dr. Kelly and she made time to come to our home and help us in saying goodbye to our boy. I haven't been able to write about it without drowning my keyboard in tears until now......... Bentley knew! He lost his bag legs and couldn't walk yet met Dr. Chandler at the door then walked in with her and laid on the carpet. He knew why she was there and he was ready. This is 3 days after Christmas mind you and she made time for us. We were so appreciative of her and her services. She made one of the hardest things you go through in your life so much easier. She didn't rush at all, she let us love on him and say goodbye. We recommend this Doctor 100% if you are ever in need of this kind of service, look no further....

So after some research and heavy sad discussions, we found Kelly and Love Always. You're a mess because you are dealing with the worst thing you absolutely don't want to do....but? She made it so amazing. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Kelly was actually available to come earlier than expected ( as we unfortunately needed her to ). She was calm, sweet, patient and soothing. She was so loving with our helping our 19 year old kitty Jet go to her final sleeping place. Every question answered, everything already thought of. She gave us the option to leave her with us, take her/cremate and return, or cremate and have her hang with other amazing pets. We received follow up texts and emails and then finally got this card where the majority of my tears finally came. Luckily I had posted our initial experience, a pal saw and was able to help another pal, Puck, help take his final nap Thank you SO Kelly and Love Always. Highly recommend. And finally able to post with way less tears....barely

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.

That would have devastated us. I found Faith online and found that she lives very close to us. She immediately found time to come to our house to help.

This morning I woke up with 1 sleeping on me with the other sleeping nearby! We can't thank Faith enough for returning our home to the peaceful sanctuary we love. Thank you, Faith!

Caring, compassionate, professional…read more My kitty was having trouble breathing. I had no idea what was wrong. Brought him in, and it only took the veterinarian about two minutes toDiagnose congestive heart failure. Sadness. The options were treatment that would maybe prolong his life for six months, or put him down so he would not suffer any longer. Prognosis was he would not survive even with treatment. For the first time in my entire life, I had to decide to let a pet go. Every other pet I've ever had, died of natural causes without ever having shown symptoms. The decision was more difficult than I anticipated. Foothill Farms gave me all the time I needed to come to terms with the decision, and even let me sit in a private room for as long as I needed to say goodbye to my putty tat. They made a difficult decision much easier to make and much easier to handle. I'll miss my putty tat, but because of their caring, compassion and concern I know it was the right decision to make, even though it still hurt. Thank you very much foothill Farms veterinary. I highly recommend this veterinarian .

We are bringing our Puppy in for a Follow up for 3 months ago, our puppy had heart surgery, so we have been here a few times now, coming from Stockton. Worth the drive for a pet that you would call a family member. The campus grounds are super clean, lots of wildlife, birds, squirrels, etc. Not sure if they take any animal in, or if you have to have a referral, like we did from our local vet. And they were alot cheaper then the vet and had more openings.

I brought my dog here for emergency surgery after a serious injury to his leg. My local vet…read morereferred us there and had called ahead, so they were expecting us and had 2+ hours notice we were coming. (6PM arrival) Fast forward another 4+ hours to 10:30 PM. We finally get to talk to a resident, Dr. Olivia Taubenfeld, who tells me she doesn't think it's a degloving injury - without even examining him yet. I tell her I don't what that is, but describe seeing exposed tendons, ligaments, and possibly bone (which is also what I described when admitting him hours before.) Another 2+ hours go by and they finally examine him. (1AM) Dr. Taubenfeld's report? Degloving injury. Had anyone bothered to look under the temporary bandage put on by the first local vet, or even listened to my description of his wound, they would have seen and understood the severity of the injury. Now they're recommending amputation and treatment options have changed drastically because they neglected seeing him for so long. After getting a second opinion, I decide to pull him out of this hospital so he can get proper care. I'm told they'll do a wound cleaning first thing in the morning. I communicate persistently all day, making sure they're aware of my intention to transfer him that afternoon. I go to pick him up at 4 PM - they haven't cleaned his wound yet. I wait hours, desperate to get him out of there and to a vet who has the capacity to give him proper care and attention. At one point (6 PM) I can hear him crying and whining from behind one of their exam room doors. Apparently, they finally got around to cleaning his wound, only without proper sedation and pain management. Torture. Soon after, they bring him out of that room to me. While I'm carrying him to leave, as soon as we get outside, he starts peeing in my arms. (Sweet boy waited until he was outside.) I place him down, and he stands there peeing for I swear at least one 1 minute. His bladder had to be completely full. Had they even let him relieve himself the 24 hours he was there?! I will never bring another animal here.
