Wow, where to start... So our little Pomeranian was having seizure-like episodes. Over the past few…read moredays, they began to increase, making us very worried. I called 3 local veterinarians with no luck. I called the Animal Clinic and spoke w/ a very nice lady, Jen. I'm sure she could hear the panic in my voice as I tried to explain that our little Lori had just had another episode. She was extremely kind and empathetic. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to make vet appointments these days. There is actually about a 2-month wait for appointments. Even worse w/ seizure-like episodes it's very difficult because the Dr. needs to see when it's actually happening. Dr. Fryer was able to see our dog, Lori, and was beyond AMAZING! WOW!!! I'm dead serious...a couple days later and our family is still impressed. He was extremely thorough, empathetic, great w/ our little Lori, and answered all of my questions. Seriously, if you have a pet, this is the place to bring them. The entire staff is friendly, very welcoming, and patient. Our dog's situation is a little different and not once did Dr. Fryer make me feel rushed or like I was wasting his time. In fact, he took his time with Lori doing multiple tests that had never been done on her. I could honestly go on and on with how impressed I was with our visit. My family and I are very grateful for Dr. Fryer and his staff. Thank you!!!

When we were leaving the nurse made sure the house cat was up and asked the next patient if he could do his paperwork in his car while we leave.

I love how it's a small office and they schedule beautifully. There was no wait time, with a scared dog this is a big deal.

Don't bother wasting your or your pets time there. Please, give heed to the other negative comments. Thankfully, I was able to get my pet to Veterinarians who are, caring & capable. They gave my ailing pet the treatment that was needed, and for that I am very grateful. I have never written a bad review before, but this one I felt I needed to because it was such a bad experience for my pet and me.

By day 4 he succumbed to acute blindness. How a vet was not alarmed seeing the dosage on the bottle is beyond me. Ophthalmologist verify our cat is completely irreversibly blind due to its toxicity. I've had vets for over 30 years and never had anyone been this gross negligent. Another woman shared on my Nextdoor post that her dog was prescribed antibiotic by this same vet and caused fatal internal bleeding. Fatal. It makes me wonder what kind of vet this woman is. She's only been there since Feb 2023, just a short 3 years. There may be other cases we don't know about. Beware. If you choose them, you should really google info and ask PetMD about the meds/dosage. I did file a complaint with VMB. CA law does not punish vet malpractice unless it's proven to be intentional. VMB is a division of the Department of Consumer Affairs. They will investigate and do have a measure of accountability from citing fines, to further training, to probation, to protocol requirements, to suspension and revoking license. Pet owners need qualified medical professionals treating our pet family members.

I feel it is my responsibility to share my experience with Jessica and Anthony at Puff N Fluff Pet…read moreGrooming because it is truly shocking: When we took our two small poodles (ages 15 and 2) in for grooming, we informed Jessica and Anthony that our 15 year old has very saggy skin around her neck, and that a few months prior she had been cut by the groomer and had needed stitches. About an hour after we dropped them off we received a call from Anthony saying that he believed our dog's previous wound had reopened, and they had no idea how it happened. They made it clear that it must be her old wound, and that it looked like a scab ripped off. They claimed they hadn't even noticed the cut "reopening" until later on, and that she hadn't cried, and it wasn't bleeding. They asked that we come pick her up, and they suggested taking her to the vet. They had not started on our 2 year old, but we gave them permission since we were under the impression that our 15 year old had just reopened her cut, and we did not believe they were at fault at the time. Unfortunately we received a completely different story from the vet. Per her veterinary examination, the cut she incurred at Puff N Fluff was on the OPPOSITE side of her neck and was in fact deeper (full thickness) and longer than her previous cut, so it was a completely fresh, new wound. The vet wanted to sedate her and give her stitches because it was so long and deep, but they gave her staples instead because they didn't want to put a dog of her age and size under anesthesia. Even if they were unaware of cutting her, like they claimed, I would find it even more concerning that they didn't notice inflicting a wound of that caliber. I understand that our 15 year old is very difficult to groom, and I understand that mistakes happen. I understand that any experienced groomer would have issues grooming my dog because of her skin, and this could have happened to anyone. My issue is not with the cut that she incurred from the groom. My issue is that they did not take responsibility for the cut, and had clearly fabricated a story about her injury so we wouldn't know they were at fault. We called to inform them of this discovery, and Jessica offered to pay for the vet visit, which is what we were hoping for. However, then I requested a reimbursement for my 2 year old, and I was incredibly disappointed by their response. We asked for a reimbursement because we no longer felt comfortable having paid them for their service when we were so unclear about what happened to our dog in their care. We felt like they blatantly lied to us after the vet's assessment and insight into the wound. We received quite a bit of pushback on getting our money back for the groom, which I feel shows a complete lack of understanding and accountability for their actions. I was obviously missing a lot of information, and I would NEVER have let them groom her if I knew what had truly happened. We had every right to ask for a refund after the experience we had. Additionally, our 2 year old was incredibly stressed after we picked her up, and her trachea collapsed on and off all day, which has never happened before. Furthermore, Jessica requested that WE write out and sign a statement that declared they reimbursed us for the vet visit and grooming appointment, which we did, but it was honestly insulting after what they did. AlI I was looking for was an apology and for them to be accountable for the cut, but instead they were dishonest, did not take responsibility for anything, deflected blame, and honestly lacked compassion and remorse for the whole incident. I understand this is an incredibly difficult time due to the pandemic, but we felt like they cared more about making money off us than the health of our dog or making amends for what they had done. It is important to note that they did end up reimbursing us for the vet visit and groom; however, they did initially try to shortchange us when we picked up the money, and we did Not receive any form of an apology for Anything. I hope no one has to experience something like this because it is truly heartbreaking for everyone.

It's not located right on Main Street, but right before you hit Main Street, depending on what direction you're coming from. The parking lot is small, but I could find parking easily. Appointments are scheduled weeks out; therefore, arrive on time to avoid losing your spot! A family came late with their two dogs, and Smiling Canines tried to squeeze them between other dogs' appointment times, but it was a hassle for both the family and business. After I filled out and signed some paperwork, the staff immediately took my little dog in to have his teeth cleaned. The whole appointment lasted maybe 30 minutes. They also have a small store pet you can look in while you wait for your dog; otherwise, you can stay in your car or sit in a chair outside. The lady who greeted me was kind, professional, and efficient. The prices are around $185 - $250, depending on what type of cleaning your dog needs. Unfortunately, I paid $250 because I had not kept on my dog's teeth, and he had a lot of tartar buildup. So he will need to come back in another six months for another cleaning, and my good boy deserves the best. Thank you, Smiling Canines, for vastly improving my dog's teeth - and breath!
