Grass Valley Vet is by far the best vet i've ever been to. I am so so glad that I switched from my old vet! The staff is very kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. The vet I worked with was outstanding. read more

if you use chewy for your prescriptions be prepared to have every prescription order DENIED and then calling them to try to have you upsold on annual checkups..... the doctors are competent BUT the staff is not. be prepared to fight for your dogs health and wellness every time a prescription comes due with someone that's not even qualified as a veternarian... I'm beyond frustrated. Been with this vet for 2 years and they STILL DENY MY DOGS PRESCRIPTION - every time... every dam time... I'm so over it read more

Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital is a compassionate and amazing group. We just had to go through the hardest thing with sending our Ruby girl over the rainbow bridge. The entire staff was caring and helpful throughout everything. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate this team. We have no question about where we will take our pets for care in the future. I'm so grateful for the skill and understanding they all showed us. Thank you for living your purpose in such a meaningful way, GV Vet Hospital. read more

Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital - Our sweet Ruby girl... rest well, dear friend. - Veterinarians Near Me - Grass Valley, California

I had a troubling experience here, and feel it's necessary for me to share so others don't end up in the same boat. First and foremost, I am stunned how poorly I was treated by the manager Brooke. My mom recommended this office to me, as she loves Dr. Courtright. I booked an appointment over the phone for a stray kitten I recently rescued to receive shots, and also mentioned I thought he had a respiratory infection. The representative I spoke to was named Haven. Haven informed me that because my pet had never been seen there before, I would receive a discounted exam fee of $25, as they were running a promotion for first time patients. My appointment with the doctor was great. She was super thorough and informative. She was very kind and gentle. She ended up prescribing him antibiotics for his cold, and said we should hold off for a couple weeks on shots until he was feeling better. Once I went to check out and was given my total, it seemed high, so I asked if I received the $25 promotion. I was told I actually didn't qualify for the promotion anymore because there was an "issue" at my appointment, and the promotion was only for "wellness" appointments. I was confused and asked what that meant. They seemed confused as well what it meant, but ultimately told me it was because my pet had to be prescribed medication. I did say at that time that was unfortunate because I had been told I'd receive the promotion and never was informed of this stipulation. One of the girls at the desk said she had told them to put that in the fine print on the website so there wasn't confusion, but nevertheless she couldn't give me the discount. The other girl, who I knew was the one who booked my appointment over the phone and gave me this misinformation, sat there and said nothing. Unfortunately I went ahead and just paid it, because I didn't want to make a fuss. Clearly what I should have done was refused, because I had no idea how horrible the manager would later be about the situation. Once I got home and gave it more thought, I felt it really just wasn't right what had happened. I had been bait and switched. I believe they should've honored their word and had the integrity as an ethical business to do so. I checked their site, and not anywhere on the promotion did it specify what and was not included in a "wellness appointment" which I posted a snapshot of in this review. So today, I figured I would call to speak with the manager to try to make this right. I called in the morning around 9 am and was told the manager was out and would be back by 10 am. When I hadn't heard anything back by 2:30, I called again. I then had the not so pleasant experience of speaking with the manager Brooke. I gave her all the details of the situation, and told her I was transparent about the reason for my appointment from the beginning. She was entirely unhelpful to say the least. She had no interest in making things right. She repeated herself over and over again robotically that she couldn't give me the discount because my appointment wasn't considered a "wellness" appointment. The only solution she brought forth was to bring in another pet within a month before the promotion ended. I told her this wasn't a solution for me to bring in another pet that wasn't due for an exam to give them even more of my money. She showed absolutely no empathy or interest in making things right. Eventually she just hung up the phone on me. It was entirely unprofessional and just shows the bad business practices being used at this clinic. I am disheartened by how I was treated as a new client, and that I won't be able to go back to the vet here due to her negligent staff. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise and saved me a future headache. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I had intended on bringing here. After sharing the experience I had with my mom, she will also not be returning to this hospital for her pets. I do hope this review inspires the hospital to reflect on how they treat their clients when they drop the ball, and how to better train their staff. read more

Wonderful staff, amazing veterinarians . Up front costs with no pressure. They take the time to Explains everything . I highly recommend.

I have to thank Grass Valley Veterinary Clinic for such an amazing job ! My 4 month old female puppy had a horrible spay from a different clinic and developed a Seroma , they worked me in and the veterinarian did an absolutely great job of assessing her and recommending treatment. Thank you because you saved her life read more

Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital - Terrible spay from a horrible veterinarian, thank you Grass Valley Veterinary Clinic for helping me - Veterinarians Near Me - Grass Valley, California

This has to be one of the worst veterinary clinics in all of Nevada county. I brought my sick dog in because it had lost a lot of weight and was not eating. Immediately they concluded it was pyometra and wanted to do surgery the very next day after giving me a $900.00 vet bill for the days hospitalization. I didn't agree with their diagnosis and didn't return the next day for surgery. So they reported me to Animal control. read more

We went yesterday to put our dog down. It started well, our vet was kind and let us know we didn't have any options. The problem arose because the staff wanted to leave for lunch and let us know they were going to lunch at 12 (it was 11:30) We were literally rushed thru the process because of this. We had to ask for blankets for the dog, and we waiting for a family member to come say goodbye and the staff kept checking to see if the member had arrived and how much longer before they could start...it added a yucky element to an already hard day. It felt like a drive-thru euthanasia where within 5 minutes they were ready to put the line in and put him down. The actual vet tech and doctor were great but their front of house staff very loudly announced they wanted to go to lunch and weren't going to miss it because of us. Tacky and rushed experience for something very monumental. read more

Id been going to motherload vet for 15 years and wondered why it went down hill the last year. I was sold in 11-2020. So yesterday when i had to have my 15 year old dog put down and they were not helping me do it after 15 years. So we call grass valley vet hospital and they said bring her in and were very nice to Lucy Thank you GVVH. read more

Grass Valley Vet is the Best !!! Our dog (Charlie) was mauled by the neighbors pitbull and needed stiches for several bite wounds. The Vet was patient and caring with Charlie. They even took X-rays to make sure he was OK and didn't charge us. Their rates are VERY reasonable and the care is first rate. read more

I am so glad we switched to Grass Valley Vet. Used to love Mother Lode until they were bought out by VCA. They will not see long time clients in a timely manner and if you are lucky enough to get an appointment, they charge you for an emergency visit. Anyway, Grass Valley Vet has gotten my dogs in within a day or two when I call. The Vets are very caring and compassionate and the staff is so friendly and helpful. read more

Dr Wolfe and staff at GV vet hospital were amazing! We got an appointment as a new patient within a couple of days for our pooch. Clean lobby and exam rooms and our dog had her issue resolved with her ear in no time flat. Thanks guys! read more

The staff and Doc were amazing. First time to this client for my main squeeze. They ended up pulling a foxtail outta his ear. Also quoted me on some additional care needed for near future which is reasonable. Basically the entire staff made it easy today - most likely will see them for the next step in my little man's health care. Thanks to everyone for the compassion, knowledge, patience and the accommodation for todays ER. Wishing this place continued success read more

Highly recommend this vet! The staff is very nice abd the doctors are very knowledgeable! Will be returning with my pets!

Love love love this place! They are always able to get me in in a reasonable amount of time. The staff and vets are so friendly. I will continue to bring my animals here :) read more

Cannot sing the praises of GVVH, the staff, and especially Dr. C., DVM, enough!!! They all showed us the utmost care and empathy when we showed up with our last hope for emergency surgery to save our 7yo dog, Sherlock. They gave us a far more reasonable price than another local ER option, were genuinely more personable and caring to the life-and-death situation we were faced with, but ultimately made us feel like they cared more about Sherlocks survival and our struggle than they did about making a profit. We can't thank you enough, and hope EVERYONE local considers this input when deciding to use you for their fur babies!!! ~The Wolffs read more

Adjusting my review because it's beyond disturbing how negligent this vet office is . In January of this year i took my cat here twice . Once for a new patient appointment and again for a follow up. they wrote on my cat's chart that she has stage 1 dental disease and DID NOT even communicate that to me . Moving forward i took her to a new vet when i noticed changes in my cats eating habits . Took a new vet A matter of seconds to figure out what's wrong . MY CAT HAS STAGE 4 DENTAL DISEASE AND IS MISSING HALF OF HER TEETH AND WILL NEED THE REMAINING TEETH PULLED. Just WEEKS ago this vet office diagnosed that my cat is only at stage 1?!? Such a joke . This vet office is beyond negligent and lacks the knowledge necessary to properly diagnose and treat animals . This vet was more concerned with selling me some low quality by product cat food , HILLS, than actually addressing real concerns about my cats health. read more

I don't understand all the negative reviews, I've personally only had good experiences with this vet office. I've been taking both my cats here for about four years and it's always been a very positive experience and they really understand a nervous cat mom. read more

I received the worst customer service from the front desk receptionist. Tried to become a new client so that I could order tick, flea and heartworm medicines, and was disrespected and spoken to very rudely. Will not be spending my time or money at this facility. read more

If you are looking for a hospital with great staff that goes above and beyond for clients then you have found it! Also Brooke U. Is sooo helpful, knowledgeable, and sweet! Check out this Vet for the best care for your fur babies! read more

Zero stars if I could! TERRIBLE customer service! Corporate owned, not local!!! Just found out that it was sold years ago (would have been nice to tell your clients!) After 5 years of taking both (and now just the one ) cats to this vet hospital (really because of its convenience to my house) I have been dismissed. The last time I took my cat in I asked for him to be checked for fleas . I had received flea medicine 6 weeks before this that seemed to totally not work. He was scratching and had flea dust . I was more worried about an ongoing eye problem that never seemed to resolve and was told to "keep an eye on it" and was given no flea medication . When I found fleas on my car two days later I called and asked to talk to the vet . I was told they were busy and was speaking with the office manager . I dared suggest that I get a discount on the new flea medication since the last one failed and his new diagnosis was missed completely . I was told in a very unprofessional way that "absolutely no way ". I again asked to talk to the vet (who used to own the business ) and was ignored. When I raised my voice because of my frustration at being dismissed I was hung up on! I called two days later and again asked to speak to a vet , not the office manager, I was told I would receive a call. 2 weeks later I call and ask why I have still not heard from the vet I was told that " he is not going to talk to you because of the way you spoke to the office manager "! Remember the vet hospital is the "professionals" in this story as well as the fact that I was hundreds of dollars deep in visits with zero resolution. I am disgusted with the unprofessional nature and callous disregard to their clients . My cat probably got fleas here because they don't change the towels they lay down on the tables between pets. I have seen a different vet every time I bring my cat in , no consistency and TERRIBLE customer service ! Many other great options in this area so shop around ! read more

Do not bring your animal here! I brought my cat to Grass Valley veterinary before but, when my cat was having issues breathing the staff was so rude especially Megan! She did not care about us at all. She told me they were full. I asked if she could give me any advice. She did not offer to ask the vet or anything. She just rudely told me she was not a vet. I asked her on 2 different occasions what local vet they would refer me to. She kept telling my to Drive an hour or an hour in a half away to an emergency vet. The 3rd time I asked she said she is not the other vets and therefore would not have the schedule. I told her I did not ask about their schedule I asked for a local vet that they might recommend. They did not speak to the vet or try to fit us in. I asked to talk to the manager. Another rude coworker said the office manager was gone and she was the acting manager and was just as rude as the first lady. I was in tears worrying about Scruffy. When I called Brunswick Veterinary Clinic the office staff was so nice even though my cat was not one of their patients. They dropped what they were doing to talk to the vet and even though Dr. Williams was full for the day she offered to squeeze her in. I will always be greatfull for the simple fact that she cares about your animal as if it was her own. Thank you to the staff and the Dr. for helping me when my own vet would not. Grass Valley Vet needs to take a lesson on how to treat people and animals! read more

DrDekker is no longer at this Vet Hosp. I was surprised to learn should have send letters out. Treatment prices much higher now , then last time we were there.staff is different also:( read more

Grass Valley Vet is awesome! The staff is all very friendly and helpful! The doctor who seen my dog was very nice and caring. She didn't try to push unnecessary stuff that she knew we didn't need. Will never go to another vet! read more

This place use to be awesome. I have taken my cat here for years. I don't know if they have have a different owner or manager but now they refuse to answer the phone. They expect you you leave a message and will call you back in 48 hours or in my case close to a week. When they finally did call back, they left a message asking if my cat was a new patient because they had no record of her ever being ( I have been taking her there for 5 years! ) I am currently checking out other vets to take her to. read more

We had a Saturday emergency. Our normal vet wasn't open. We were immediately helped by Grass Valley Veterinary. Friendly, helpful staff. Dr. Ettlin found, and removed, a large sticker from our cat's eye. We have a new vet! I can't recommend these folks highly enough! read more

My little Amelie LOVES visiting this vet! I quite literally have to pull her out the door because she adores the staff and Dr. Dekker and doesn't want to leave. Of course I am careful to make sure she always gets treats for each procedure so no matter if they are taking blood or giving her a shot, she thinks it is a fun game! read more

Just moved to the area and my Pit Bull/Rottweiler nearly tore her whole nail off. I washed it and took her to this vet without an appointment. Her nail wasn't bleeding but she was limping. Within a short time they were able to see her and in practically no time they removed the nail. Great news! To top it off, they wouldn't accept any money because it only took a moment of their time. Unbelievable! I am so impressed and will be using this vet for my other dog as well. I love Grass Valley and the Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital! Thanks! read more

My mini dachshund has been treated by Grass Valley Vet ever since our old-fashioned, low-priced country veterinarian retired. At first the price different was, admittedly, a steep shock; but Sadie's care has been nothing but excellent. I felt compelled to write a positive review after talking with her veterinarian, Dr. Kristy Cortright, about diagnostic pathways for Sadie's appetite loss and bloody stool. Dr. Cortright kept urging us to take an abdominal X-ray, but the cost was holding us back. Finally she said, "What if I'm holding Sadie and walking, and I sort of trip and fall onto the X-ray table, if you get my drift." I was flabbergasted (in a very good way!). I made a thank-you card for Dr. Cortright and went forward with the X-ray--which proved inconclusive. Dr. Cortright has been extremely cooperative with balancing price and priority in diagnosing and treating Sadie's health decline; she's given us trial doses of medications for all the possible causes of Sadie's illness, without forcing us into an extremely pricey ultrasound. All of this awesomeness prompted me to pause and reflect on how professional, friendly, compassionate, and competent everyone is at GV Vet. When I once needed to show photo ID to pick up a controlled substance, the technician accepted the gender incongruence smoothly. It is always relieving to be treated with dignity and equality as a transgender person. And finally, if you weren't already convinced to give the place a visit, I hope you will at least stop by to meet their affectionate 3-legged resident cat, Pogo. read more

Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital provides excellent care for my 4 dogs. They are kind, compassionate, very professional and , willing to discuss what I can afford to do for my dogs and are always there for advice. The Doctors spend time talking with me and getting to know and understand my dogs. From my 5 month Chessie Retriever, to my 15 year old mini schnauzer needing to be put to sleep, the best care is given in the most gentle knowledgeable way. read more

Dr. Decker and staff are caring, compassionate and competent! I am confident that my pets receive the highest quality of care.

Best vets ever! Everyone is so wonderful at GV Vetrerinary Hospital! We have been going to this vet for years and have never had a bad experience! The facilites are spotless and it is a very comfortable environment. The staff is incredibly pleasant and we especially love Dr. Mees Dekker! I highly recommend this vet office if you are new to the area or are in need of a new vet! Thank you so very much, GV Vet!!! read more

The Doctors and wonderful staff at this hospital helped save a cat that had been thru a terrible ordeal...car or bobcat or ? Collapsed lung, skin a mess...life threatening. They were caring and skilled and so easy to work with! Felix is healing nicely at home and we are all so grateful. I would highly recommend this amazing veterinary hospital! read more

Doctor Dekker has been our vet for the past 3 years. We feel extremely blessed for his passion,concern, and love for each and everyone of our animals. He is truly a angel! I never thought anyone could love and care for our babies health and well being as much as we do, but we found someone who actually does in Doctor Dekker. Thank you so much Grass Valley Veterinary for blessing our lives with your love, understanding and compassion! read more

Our family LOVES Dr. Mace Dekker and all of his wonderful staff at Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital. To be truly honest, what we truly love is the open honesty about what is best for the family and the pet that is in it. He is people focused first and pet focused second. Thank you Dr. Mace for loving our family and loving our pets too!!! read more

Two visits to Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital and I have gone elsewhere. The first visit was great - Dr Dekker was down to earth and very interested in making sure our puppy would become a part of our family. The second visit we saw a different Dr. Not impressed at all with this vet and my pup was very on edge and scared. A very lackadaisical approach to my pups health and now we will be visiting another vet clinic from here on out. read more

I came to Grass Valley Veterinary Hospital today for a geriatric exam for my sweet 7 yr old lab/pit mix who gave us a scare with some breathing issues this week. We recently moved back to Grass Valley and were recommended to Dr. Dekker by a family member. He is awesome! Very down to earth, he came in and greeted my dog and gave my dog time to greet him and get comfortable. He listened to everything I had to tell him about what has been going on with my dog and came up with very thorough (but fairly priced!) diagnostic tests for my guy. I felt very at ease in the office and it was obvious that Dr. Dekker really cares about the animal (which has often not been the case at other vets I've been to). I will definitely continue to go to Grass Valley Vet Hospital with my pets. read more

After hitting a dead-end with what was ailing my dog at another veterinary hospital, I found Dr. Janeway. She has incredible bedside manner, and truly cares about the animals she meets. Dr. Janeway doesn't "guess" what's wrong and prescribe meds hoping that will work. She took the time to learn about my dog, her environment and has helped her more than any other vet ever has. Dr. Janeway isn't about quantity, with her it's all about quality. I'm so grateful for her experience and I trust her with my pets' life. If your in need of a doctor that cares about her animal-patients, then I highly recommend Dr. Janeway. read more

ON extremely short notice we were seen by Dr Dekker who gave us, and our Corgi, super care. Our 9 month old Corgi had eaten something that well.... set off some nasty effects. Even though we weren't clients and were from out of town, he and the staff put us at ease and had Sadie the Corgi up and about in no time. THANKS! We have told our sister in law when she gets her dog... this is the place to be. read more

Dr. Dekker and his team of assistants are amazing. My fist visit to the hospital was with my schnauzer as the office was closing. Charlie had just been attacked by a dog and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Dekker calmed me down and administered to Charlie, and performed the surgery the next morning. We've been fans ever since and wouldn't take our animals anywhere else. Our dogs and cat continue to receive superb care. read more
