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.

I highly recommend this place to bring your pet. This clinic focuses only on dental and neuter/spay…read moreprocedures, but it's clear they do things very well. The compassion of the Vet and RVN cannot be beat. I am amazed and humbled that such kind professionals took care of G'dog even with all the volume of pets involved. I am very grateful for the clinic and their staff for their service and helping people like me afford such important care. G'dog is a recently adopted rescue dog with no recent, if any, dental care. 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.

After getting different quotes for dental cleaning in the Bay Area, I was recommended to look into…read moreThe Pet Advocate by a friend. The Pet Advocate offers significantly lower prices compared to Bay Area vet clinics, which sold me. Even their highest price for an extraction is only $40 (pre-molars and molars). After submitting my pet's information online, I was contacted shortly after with availability a month out and paid my $50 deposit. The instructions say drop-off is at 8am so I got there at 7:45am. To my surprise, there were already a ton of people there waiting for their pets' spay/neuter and dental cleaning appointments. By the time I was checked in and allowed to bring my dog inside, it was closer to 9am. Having come from a boutique-like vet in D.C., I was put off once I got inside. The waiting room was so busy, and there were so many cats inside from Animal Service, pet owners, and rescues. It just felt too crowded. Once we got to the back for the examination, it felt even more crowded and very factory-like. However, the vet was attentive, addressed all my concerns, and the vet techs were very friendly and gentle with my sweet pup. Before leaving you do have to pay first. Please note it is about a 3% additional fee for debit and credit cards, so I recommend bringing cash! Initially, I thought all my dog would need is dental cleaning. However, a few hours later I received a call from his vet technician who explained the x-rays showed serious bone less in one of his pre-molars and a molar. She explained to me the additional amount owed for the medication and extractions so I could be prepared. When I went to pick my dog up at 3pm, there was yet another long line and it took another 30-40minutes for most of us to be called in. The vet tech took the time to sit with me and explain all the limitations, how the procedure went, showed me the x-rays, and advised me on post-care. It helped put me at ease. For the price, it was worth coming here. The only cons were the check-in and checkout system, the number of animals there at one time, and how crowded the examination area was. Aside from dental cleaning and vaccinations, I probably would not come here for anything else. In addition to the driving time, factor in about another hour for check-in AND check out. A week post-op and my dog's extraction sites are healing very well so I'm still satisfied with the service!

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. She has helped put our minds at ease and educated us on how to care for him if he has another one and we will continue to monitor him in case he needs anything else. We really appreciate Dr. Olsen and the Jules Vet team so much. It is evident that they love animals and care about every patient they see. Thanks again Jules Vet!

This seems like a bit of a repetitive review…read more The good: Very clean. Very nice. Great hours and availability. The docs seem to know what's going on. They have a lot of staff on hand and specific prescription food. Their response for prescriptions to send out to Chewy is also very fast. The bad: Most of the time I call and they answer and ask me to hold (unless it' an emergency). I hold and hold ... and HOLD. In fact I have held sometimes over 20 minutes and nobody every comes back to help me. Just because it's not an emergency and I am willing to hold that does not mean FOREVER! After you help your customer in line then it's my turn please. Oh also, you had better have a LOT of money because this place will not start with the basic things. They immediately head right to the easiest way to make as much money as possible. Cat got a wheeze and lost a couple pounds? Let's run bloodwork for $650. That all came back fine? Oh ok, then let's do an Xray for $650. All clear there? Doc basically refuses anything else but an exam of the GI for $750. We pass on the GI test and the breathing get's worse. Call back and now they want to start the process over again with chest Xrays for another $650. How about starting out small and do some steroids or an antibiotic first? I guess that's not going to make them enough money. Imagine going into a doctor and saying you have a fever and a cough and they immediately send you in for Xrays and bloodwork and CT scans and an MRI just for the hell of it. Hey Jules ... Not everyone has a money tree in the back yard.

If you value your pet, avoid visiting on a Monday; the float doctor seemed incredibly inexperienced and was impatient with my dog, who is naturally scared around new people. Even after I explained that my dog isn't aggressive, just fearful of not visiting the vet in a while, the doctor--who had claimed to be "very experienced" despite me never asking--still couldn't manage to examine my dog, she did not try to attempt different ways to help my dog, she simply gave up. My dog is still in pain, and now I have to find a new facility that actually knows how to handle dogs of all temperaments, whether they are fearful or not.

She was excreting puss from her uterus and was clinging to life. When no other clinic in Sacramento would make time to see her, I reached out to Grantline Veterinary Hospital and despite being over an hour away and fully booked, they showed me compassion and agreed to see my dog. They did a round of X-rays on her, gave her subcutaneous fluids, antibiotics, and sound advice to de-stress her that you don't find online. That was Tuesday evening. I didn't really notice the difference until Wednesday night when she had a full 24 hours of antibiotics and I was able to relocate her pups to a certified whelper. She started eating again, vigorously at that. Her internal puss discharge decreased by 95%, and her energy levels went back to normal. Now not even 66 hours later, I have my old dog back! She's jumping around like the puppy she once was! Thank you Doc! Please listen to these guys. They will save your dogs life!

I brought her in They performed services and prescribed medication. When I paid, I felt very cared for by Sam and Dr. Aman. I had no issues. 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. You made me feel like I was talking to a scam artist today. 0/5* My general consensus is that your experience will depend upon the employee you get when you call in. 50/50 for me right now but I'm unsure if I'll bring Kiona back after this call for a routine ear cleaning felt more predatory than caring.
