    Peanut butter to get her to sit still
    Shelby G.

    Another 5 star visit to Sactown Vet. Brought Jack in for goopy eye. Arrived a few minutes early, was checked in, Hack weighed then ushered to a room. A staff member asked medical info, reason for visit and confirmed our records were up to date. Maria Q popped in to say hello to us and encouraged him with a couple treats. She's always great with us! Next a young Asian tech came in reconfirmed the purpose of our visit, followed by Dr Cole coming in for exam. More treats, a kind approach where she got on the floor with Jack; he is super shy. Good exam, prognosis, eye drops for a week and a reasonable bill. Everyone is always kind, gentle, caring and friendly to owners and pets, Thank you all for a great visit!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Dr. Thornton and all the techs for taking such good care of my Eevie girl![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This practice is truly so accommodating to cats - quiet lobby, they put you in a room right away, even the set up of the feline exam room is geared toward kitties. When I came to get Eevie's bloodwork done last year we had a bit of a false alarm kidney scare, and Dr. Thornton showed so much compassion and clear direction. The appointments never feel rushed. We followed up a year later and no kidney issues, thank goodness! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Thornton even reached out on her day off to tell me the good news as soon as she got the lab work in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Eevie went in for dental extractions recently and we had another great experience. They provided me with medication to give her prior to bringing her in to help calm her and prevent nausea. They even showed me the kennel she'd be kept in - a dark room separate from dogs with huge heated kennels. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciated their communication every step of the way and I could tell everyone that works there is super knowledgeable and committed to their mission of being fear free.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and like you can drop by or check in at any time after you drop your pet off for a procedure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And during her exams, Eevie appreciated the many churrus and got her first taste of whipped cream one visit!

    Absolutely love this place. They helped our cat Georgia survive liver issues and were so helpful throughout that process and made Georgia top priority. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We are forever grateful for you all because of that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wish we would have found your clinc when our other cat had the same issue, I 100% believe she would still be alive today if we had. They also take very good care of our pup Hera. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff and Doctors here are incredible and just great humans.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices are not insane, very reasonable and the place has some great pet art. We love it here and will go nowhere else. Thank you for being amazing.

    After a year of searching for a veterinary clinic for my pup. I was delighted to be referred to SacTown Vet. I was impressed by how quickly they were able to schedule an appointment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we arrived, the experience was outstanding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cami greeted us with warmth, making us feel at ease right away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Soon after, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the team--Tyler, Cylysce, Sophie, and Dr. DiNinni--introduced themselves, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt like family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Throughout the visit and procedure, they provided exceptional care and attention, making both Artaois and I feel valued. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Discovering a place that treats us with such kindness truly enhances the joy of caring for a pet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you!!!

    Great front & back staff and Dr Cole was so nice, calm and thorough. Clinic is clean, organized and quiet. Everyone was so polite and helpful. It's easy to schedule via phone or their website. All the techs were kind and gentle with my cat. I like that they are transparent with the costs and everything was reasonably priced. My cat needs more care and testing so I will be back when I can manage it.

    When I first got my kitten she was really young and had a leaky squinty eye so I needed to find a vet ASAP and glad we found Sactown vet! - Office is bright and clean. - Communication has never been an issue EVER. They had to reschedule my first appointment and they were apologetic and were able to get me in the next day. They have always been so transparent about estimates when other places may decline giving a quote over the phone. They have always asked for confirmation from me the pet owner before doing any tests, or exams. Very easy to contact them via calls and or texts and their app is user friendly. - They have their own parking lot and plentiful parking on the street. -They really take their "fear free" title seriously and take so much pride in it. You will see it displayed when you walk in to check in. They take those steps to keep your pet calm with either waiting outside or in your car, warmed blanket for my kitten and those feliway diffusers in the room for the "cat room". They also are always asking if there are other dogs in the waiting room before letting another dog out of the office. If you don't hold those same standards I would go somewhere else. - So helpful and willing to give so much information. Kim who works in the front sent me information regarding car rides for my cats, the office sent tips on how to get my cat ready for the appointment. Thank you to Dr. Thornton, Dr. Cole and their team especially Presley, Wendy, Gina, Kim, Monse, Paulin, Kendall, Kaley and Siana for their help. My poor kitten has been to the vet more than she wanted in her short life but each time in the office has been amazing despite some circumstances.

    Patient staff providing lots of support and cuddles  to my senior cat who is getting a urine test.

    I stumbled upon this veterinary clinic about a year ago after my small dog suddenly lost all feeling in his lower body. He was completely paralyzed, and another vet had advised me to put him down. Desperate for another option, I came here seeking acupuncture and I'm so glad I did. Under their care, my dog made a full and remarkable recovery. It's been nearly 10 months now with no recurring issues. He's back to being his mischievous and feisty self. Since then, I've brought two other pets here and consistently received outstanding care. The entire staff--from the front desk to the veterinary assistants--is not only friendly but refreshingly calm and welcoming compared to other clinics I've visited. The thoughtful touches don't go unnoticed either: drinks for pet parents, special treats for pets, and even pheromone-infused blankets to help keep cats at ease. It's all very lovely. I've recommended this clinic to several of our lovely neighbors, and every one of them has come back with glowing reviews. I highly recommend Sactown Vet!

    Waiting for Dr. Nunes :)

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I definitely recommend SacTown Vet, the staff is very kind and caring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I took my beloved 18 year old chihuahua there for treatments a few times and had to unfortunately put her down with the assistance of SacTown vet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Nunes and medical assistant Winona are saints, they were so caring and empathetic and handled everything with grace allowing me to mourn my sweet baby in peace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To me they were reasonably priced and let you know beforehand what the costs of everything will be before proceeding forward with anything if it wasn't emergent. Very clean and cute little office. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like how personable the staff is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be bringing my future fur babies here for care. Thank you SacTown Vet!

    Such a cute idea! I love this place.

I've taken my young dog here to get his standard shots/exams, but this last week I took him in for a leg issue that turned out to need surgical intervention. Scary, and expensive news. But the team was so great. Got us in for a same day, after hours appointment, and scheduled his surgery within a week of calling in. Doctor Baum called me personally to explain what was happening, why he recommended the surgery, a video of how the surgery works, and a detailed estimate. Gave me time to process because it can be overwhelming mentally and financially. Staff all loved on my boy both visits - it's a good sign when your dog wags his tail entering the vets office. Day of the surgery doctor called me before and after surgery to check in, and reviewed the results with me. Private Equity firms are buying up practices and hospitals all over the country. It's important to support local businesses who care about your furry family members not just about the bottom line. Thank you BVH team

    I was a client at this veterinary hospital for over 30 years. My parents brought my childhood dog…read morehere, and as an adult I brought my own dog here. When Dr. Nabil Ibrahim owned the practice, I always felt my dog was cared for by someone who genuinely loved animals. Unfortunately, after the ownership changed in 2021, my experience changed. At nearly every appointment, I felt pressured to approve numerous tests and services. What started as a routine visit often became an estimate several times higher than expected. I understand that diagnostics are important, but the way they were presented made me feel like the focus had shifted from individualized care to selling additional services. The biggest concern was my dog's medical care. The first incident occurred after he received rabies, leptospirosis, and parvo vaccines during the same visit. He developed a severe reaction with swollen, red paws and a swollen muzzle, requiring an emergency veterinary visit after hours. I notified the clinic the following day, yet I continued receiving reminders for his leptospirosis booster despite informing them about the reaction and my decision to avoid non-required vaccines. Three years later, I returned only for his required rabies vaccine. Leptospirosis was offered again, and I declined. He was given rabies and parvo together, along with a preventive Benadryl injection. Once the Benadryl wore off, he experienced another vaccine reaction and again required emergency care. The emergency veterinarian told us that, given his history, future vaccines should be administered one at a time to help identify which vaccine was causing the reaction. The final experience was what convinced me to leave the practice. I brought my dog in for loose stools. I was told his diet was inconsistent and was advised to switch him to a prescription hydrolyzed protein diet. I agreed to the diet trial and stool test, planning to pursue additional testing if needed. Instead his stools progressed to severe watery diarrhea. When we returned for the follow-appointment, my husband waited outside for approximately 45 minutes in 100 degree weather with a brachycephalic dog. After reminding staff we were still waiting he was eventually brought inside but waited another 20 minutes before leaving without being seen. Before we could see another veterinarian my dog became severely dehydrated and required emergency treatment. The emergency hospital preformed blood work, treated him with IV fluids, prescribed metronidazole and Hills Biome diet. Thankfully he has been steadily improving on that treatment. I understand that medicine is not always straightforward, and not every treatment works for every patient. However, I believe communication, follow-up and individualized care are just as important as diagnostics. Unfortunately after these three experiences, I no longer feel that this practice is the right place for my dog.

I am disabled, on a fixed income, and my cat is my only family. I was charged $495. When I later obtained the medical records, I was shocked to find no physical exam notes whatsoever--no exam findings, no palpation, no dental assessment, no SOAP notes. Only lab results. I was charged for services that, based on what I observed when we got home, do not appear to have been performed, including a nail trim I specifically requested. There was also no visible evidence or documentation of blood draw or urine collection. Despite no explanation of my cat's condition or prognosis, I was handed an expensive dental estimate far beyond my ability to afford and then shown the door. I was humiliated at checkout after explaining I was poor and hoping I had enough money to pay. I paid partly by credit card and drained my debit account. I was even charged for a can of food that was presented as complimentary. This experience left me terrified and unsure whether my sick, elderly cat was actually examined. I have since filed a complaint with the California Veterinary Medical Board. If you love your pet, request and carefully review your medical records. I trusted this clinic's long history. That trust was broken. Stay with your pet the entire appointment. Midtown Animal Hospital is operating on a cancelled premises license which is a violation of BPC 4853. This means that the Hospital is not authorized to legally operate or provide any veterinary services. It's been cancelled for 3 years. How can they still be open? Sacramento is corrupt and Pro Business. They must know the right people. They need to be held accountable.

Sunday a.m. 11 16 25 called Veterinary Medical Center for appt to learn to express dog's urine until her vet was in, got appt @ 3 pm, repeated same issue above to receptionist & Dr. Umar Khan. I expected Dr. to express urine but he never did. He said, "You are only going to be back." Then he talked about xray/labs & surgery that he could do-I couldn't afford that. His next statement completely threw me for a loop."He said she was in severe pn, needed to be euthanized."I had been up 32 hrs, my brain just shut off. Instead of seeing she was not in pn, I took his word for it. The only exam Dr. did was flick her hips w/his finger, her skin quivered. I have had many animals euthanized and never experienced the trauma I was subjected to w/Dr. Kahn. I feel Dr. is incompetent, heartless. I feel he murdered my dog for $648 euthanasia fee. She did not need to be euthanized IF he had followed my request, & the exam/doctor responsibility protocol I had researched after the euthanasia. (his vet tech could have taught me to express urine since since Dr. was in a hurry to get to surgery) He knew her abdomen was distended so he should have expressed the urine, given me Tramadol for pn/Methocarbamal to relax her muscles to express her urine. Research said dogs don't always need surgery, dogs live paralyzed. I had both of my dogs w/me, in my lap, when it was time for the euthanasia. Dr. came @ my dogs like he was on a mission, they began to freak out to the point I was trying to keep them from falling on the floor. Dr. did not stop so I could calm dogs. The dog supposedly in severe pn was fighting like she was fighting for her life she was so scared. It was such a struggle I couldn't even make my mouth say stop. Her head flopped over my arm & her tongue was hanging out. I then realized how the heck did this happen, I came to learn how to express urine. My little girl was so loving, she was my pain support dog, got me thru several life threatening surgeries for blood clots. I take blood thinners for blood clots, aspirin to protect from having a heart attack & stroke & Tramadol for severe nerve pn/severe c-spine pn.. Since I experienced Dr. Khans calloused, incompetent, & what I believe money grubbing behavior, I have had anxiety, HA's, agitation, CP, heart pounding & elevated BP because what happened just plays over & over in my head. My little girl took care of me & I froze, did not protect her from a money grubbing, incompetent barbarian. I keep asking myself why he refused to teach me to express my little girl's bladder, how could he predict I would have to come back when he didn't even do an exam or try to express her urine in front of me? Knowing what I know about human medicine, there is never a way to know what will/won't work. I got a copy of my little girls records, there are many lies, ie: Dr Kahn said he talked to me about vet college in Davis-he didn't. I had a hard time getting the records because Dr. Kahn wanted to go over them, he wanted to email the records to my vet w/out having me sign a release form. The notes say the bladder was hard to express, Dr. told me he didn't express her bladder since she was being euthanized. Dr. states "owner want to know how to express bladder. Pet is unable to walk on hind legs per owner and her regular vet won't be back until Wednesday." he also said he offered more meds, he never offered any meds. Why would I agree to euthanasia if he offered me meds to take home until I could see my vet? There is more in his notes that leads me to believe when he reviewed his notes he also changed his notes. Look @ picture below, taken in Dr. Kahn's exam room, tell me which dog is in severe pain & needs to be euthanized.

Follow up: Appt: May 4th This was my first time at this VCA location. Gemma was the Vet Tech who took care of my baby, Penny. Penny has arthritis. Recently her back leg has caused her not to be able to stand for very long. She also developed east west feet. Which means the paws go outward. Gema was so gentle and compassionate to her. Penny was seen by Dr. Cavanaugh, one of the best Doctors I've ever had for my pets. I asked her a million questions because I was beside myself not knowing if I was going to have to put Penny down. My experience with previous doctors as they appear annoyed by all the questions and do not show any compassion. She was the complete opposite. She welcomed the questions. Thank God she prescribed me some medication, and we decided to see if it would help her with the pain. I felt like they were both my guardian angels. June 17th Penny woke up 2 nights ago and made a horrible sound as if she was in serious pain. First thing in the morning the next day, I called the office. I spoke to Julia, and Beloved through out the day. Both as sweet, kind and patient as they were when we came in previously. I also spoke to Alina and she was super nice. They both left Dr. Cavanaugh message ls regarding different medicines that we could try. Thank you so much Dr. Cavanaughfor following up with me after hours. That is rare. A typical Dr. who had a busy day and with other patients and all the updating charts etc would have called the next day. Beloved, you went above and beyond and thank you for allowing me to get my medications yesterday. The entire staff at this location are amazing individuals. FYI: Penny was able to get up to go to the bathroom and I almost passed out it! It was like a miracle right before my eyes.
