Having this clinic available was a great thing for me and my cat. She is a garden cat...getting to an appointment would be a challenge. The clinic was there when and where I needed it. They were busy, but they found the time to get my cat the needed care on a Saturday night. read more

We love Dr Bader and his staff. They are all incredibly accommodating, they don't price gauge just because they can, and they have bent over backwards for us on more occasions than I can numerate. We can't speak highly enough of this office. We appreciate you all. read more

Dr.Bader, Dr. Raymond, and the entire team at Shingle Springs Vet Clinic are outstanding. Our cat Oz had become quite ill, quite suddenly. We brought him to the clinic, where immediately some concerning issues were found, but nothing to pinpoint the cause. We were offered a very reasonably priced package which would cover all of the needed work up to try and further delineate the problem. Ultimately it was determined that our kitty had some blockage, and unfortunately, the only next step available was surgery so we went ahead and did it - again at an extremely reasonable price - much lower than we were warned we would be paying at an emergency vet. When Dr Raymond got in there, what he found was not what we were expecting . We had assumed that our poor kitty had eaten something that got stuck, but what actually was found was a tumor. Additionally, a pretty severe peritonitis had developed related to the tumor, so our cat essentially was septic. Dr Raymond informed us that the peritonitis was a very severe infection and if our cat survived the next three days we were looking pretty good. Well, it's three days later and thanks to Dr Bader and his amazing staff our kitty came home tonight with no fever. much improved lab results telling us the infection is going away and our kitty is very happy and comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, 100/10 recommend if you're looking for somewhere you can trust with your fur baby!!! Thank you so much Dr.Bader, Dr. Raymond and your entire staff! read more

I have been trying for days to help my sweet girl cross the rainbow bridge. I called all around and no one could help me, she was 4 with osteosarcoma. My kids and myself have been through a lot in the last year. Finding out about her diagnosis was devastating. Another loss. She was my daughters dog, but she stole my heart. I called shingle springs after calling so many others and being told no. My heart dropped when the lady said they could help. Our sweet girl was finally going to be at peace. You all were so kind and patient. And I thank you from the bottom of heart for helping me let her pass peacefully. read more

I can't speak highly enough of this office (Doctors and staff). They are all incredibly accommodating, and they don't price gauge, and they have bent over backwards for me. The Dr and staff are compassionate, and it was obvious that they all care about the pets. read more

my experience there is that they lied that they could actually help my dog with his broken tooth. They should've referred me to a real animal hospital before booking the appointment. I am very disappointed. I was repeating Client and this is how they treated me. read more

Last Sunday I came upon a cat that had just been hit by a car. I stopped, determined that the cat was badly injured but couldn't leave it in the road . I took the cat to Shingle Springs Vet. Walked up to the door and said I needed help with a very badly injured cat. The staff was wonderful. Kind, caring compassionate. Unfortunately, the cat had died on the way to the hospital. I want to thank the staff for their professionalism and ability to handle what for me was a very sad situation. I have gone to this clinic for years and of course, now I know why. Again, thank you! read more

Dr. Bader is always there when emergency hits! He has taken care of my dogs broken canine. He was there with the newest meds for parvo when a stray came into my yard! which saved his life and he didn't suffer. He loves animals and taking care of them. I hope he continues on forever but when he decides to retire I know he deserves it! He works holidays and weekend when most vets don't. He and his staff deserve huge praise! read more

Very helpful when it comes to payment plans. Great staff. I would highly recommend this veterinary clinic!

Do not go here!! Ancient vet Bader should be reported for malpractice and fired. He treated my cat roughly- like she was a dog, not a 17 year old indoor cat. They had no vet techs to help secure her for exam. He acted like it was my fault when he tried to open her mouth and she swiped at him. He tried to give her IV fluids from an old previously opened bag using his mouth to open the needle. Completely unsanitary and disgusting. He stabbed my cat in the wrong place then didn't know how the bag worked so started squeezing it to make the water drip. Meanwhile my cat was screaming in pain from the needle moving all over. I had to rip it out and get out of there before he did more damage. He seemed oblivious to what I was saying- couldn't even hear half of it. And they way over charge! Never suggested any diagnosis or further testing. Never go here! read more

The care provided was extremely poor, and I would not recommend this place. My cat suffers from severe car sickness, and I was required by state law to bring him in. Despite warning them beforehand, he became very ill and had an accident in his crate. When Leslie, a technician, came in, she commented that he wasn't friendly because he was meowing loudly. I explained that he's normally very nice but was feeling unwell and doesn't like being in a crate or car, which I had already discussed. She then asked if he was a good cat, and I affirmed that he's amazing. She replied with a dismissive remark, 'Hmm, he's second best.' It was unprofessional. Later, she mentioned being wary of cats because her dog had attacked her cat and has been mean ever since. This seemed irrelevant to our situation. I requested treatment for my cat's car sickness, but the focus shifted to irrelevant matters. Another customer was present and discovered his dog hadn't received treatment the day he dropped his dog off at the vet. When he confronted the technicians, they initially made excuses until he brought up he has hand written notes from the doctor he will bring in. I felt sorry for him. After he left, I overheard them speaking negatively about him. The lack of professionalism and accountability was disappointing. It's also concerning that the facility lacks soundproofing. The techs are poor but, the doc is understanding and great. read more

I still feel guilt over losing my dog a few months ago after bringing him here. They gave him a vaccine to stop him from vomiting and said to bring him back if he got sick again. We came back 2 hours later with him still vomiting so they pumped his stomach full of stuff to prevent it. Thought that was strange. They said I could pick him up that night and called back to say they wanted to keep him overnight but were not going to charge me a hospital stay. Second red flag. They called in the morning saying my dog had died overnight. I told them I was coming to see him to say goodbye and what they did next was so incredibly unprofessional. They brought me back to their cold storage, opened up a freezer (which had around 5 other animals in it btw) and pointed saying "that one's yours" with him in a trash bag. They left him in the freezer and cut the bag open. I wish I never brought him here or he would likely still be with me. read more

Dr Bader is back !! That's a great thing. No more Rood staff. No more overpricing. Everybody makes a mistake once in a while and Dr. Bader unfortunately did when he let that other vet that was overcharging and just not treating people good in general.

I have the best experience with the shingles springs Vet they took care of my dog so well gave him excellent care. My dog passed away on 4 February but they had him comfortable the whole time there was someone with him all night. Her name is Kat .

We have been taking our dogs and cats here for years and appreciate the the staff and the service provided. Love Dr. Bader and am so glad he is back. Starting with a new RESCUE dog and this will be his Vet. I see some reviews from people that need to take more personal responsibility and/or check other other Veterinary Service providers. Complaining about cost is just a waste of time. Check out all types of services (not just Veterinary) before you need them. This office is open in the evening and I am very grateful for that. read more

Reasonably priced Veterinary care with fantastic service! They actually care about your pet not just making money. That's hard to find nowadays. I had a horrific experience elsewhere and they took care of me and my dog. Everyone that works there is very caring and obviously loves animals. I will now be bringing all my pets here. So glad I found them!! Thank you for fixing Cecil up and being there for me as well. I appreciate you more than words can express. read more

*Everything went okay with my dog* My reasoning for giving low review was just because this vet felt kind of impersonal, and feels like your pet is "just another run of the mill". Felt more like they were just running a business rather than were there to care for my pet. 1) Took about 1 week just to talk to someone over the phone for appointment 2) When i picked my dog up, no follow up meeting for after care instructions, no talk about how she did, no follow up on blood work that i paid $130 extra for. It was just: here's your dog, it went fine, here's your medicine, pay us, goodbye! Didn't even give me any paper instructions on how to go about aftercare. 3)I had to ask for instructions on everything i need to do and their response was "the instructions are in the bag" I get home and there are No instructions in the bag.. (i am novice pet owner so i do not know much, had to search internet how to care for her best) I expected better service but i am happy my dog is healthy and taken care of read more

Do not take your pets here. After leaving on Monday 11/4/24 I sat outside uncomfortable bout the care my dog had been given so I called the Wellness Center, (Doctor Raymond) as his walk-ins for the day was full and I couldn't get in or I would never been here I asked if I could have a follow up appointment with Dr. Raymond I got in 11/6/24 I showed Dr. Raymond what Dr. Omar had given him. Dr. Raymond asked me if Harley had bloody stool and I told him no. I also told him I told Dr. Omar that he didn't have it either. That the attendant that cleaned his poop up knew there was no blood! Dr. Raymond said stop the medication and he gave Harley amoxicillin and some probiotics to go home. While I was @ Shingle springs veterinarian They messed up with the medication's twice. First with syringe that had too much for the size of my dog and secondly, they gave him pills instead of liquid when I checked out. Our animals mean different things to all of us they are dear to our hearts. Please, by all means stay away from this veterinarian ! read more

Don't come here. I've taken my dog here a couple of times but the most recent visit will be the last. I have a 12 yr old chihuahua/terrier mix and brought her in to get her updated rabies & bordetella vaccines on Thursday 4/3. They mentioned if she is walking weird for the next day or two it's because the vaccines went in her right side butt area. She was slow to eat dinner that night but I didn't think much of it. The following day, Friday 4/4, she refused to get out of bed all day to go potty or even drink water/eat breakfast & dinner. Early Saturday morning she had a seizure, the scariest thing to ever witness. I called them later that morning explaining everything, was told I would get a call back and never received one. I called yet again that afternoon and still nothing. I wish they would have taken the time to explain the risks with her age. It's clear they don't care about my dog's health or well being. I am extremely disappointed in their actions in not following up -- I've been left with no other decision to have another vet see her from here on out. read more

I had a emergency appointment last week with my puppy the doctor was very professional gave her a shot for the allergic reaction she was having from medication from a previous vet and took care of the bacterial infection she was having so he gave me some antibiotics she started feeling a whole lot better read more

I'd taken my rats to two different veterinary clinics before I found this one and I just wish I had found it sooner. They don't charge ridiculous prices and the doctor seems to be one of the rare vets that truly cares about the well being of animals. Even though it's a far drive for me to get here, I will not take my rats anywhere else but this clinic. I unfortunately had to get my precious girl Sylvia put down recently, and the staff here were so sweet, supportive, and incredibly caring. I will trust no other clinic with my rats besides this one. read more

Tried laser on my canine and saved us from having to do knee surgery. This vet is great.

Words could never express how grateful I am for all of the Staff here at Shingle Springs Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Bader is hands down one of the most understanding and kindest vet we have ever experienced! After a nightmare experience with another local "popular" vet we had to come here for an emergency visit to save our poor girls life. As soon as we showed up we had staff members assisting us with getting her out of the car and quickly got her into the back to start treatments. The first vet preformed a major surgery and she was sent home to us without antibiotics or something to cover the wound which caused it to get infected and she got a high fever. When we arrived she hadn't eaten or urinated all day and was barely responding. The staff here was so wonderful and really helped calm me down with words of encouragement and understanding as I was panicked and worried about her life. After a few hours we were able to find out what was going on and plan a course of action from there. Thankfully we were able to take her home that evening and were provided antibiotics, bandage cover and a cone to keep it clean. She's doing SO much better and almost back to her old self! I'm sure she will be once she can take her cone off haha! We still visit for bandage wraps and to make sure it's healing properly and she's happy to go inside every time! The experience here is always so wonderful and compassionate no matter who's at the front desk. Thank you so much Shingle Springs Veterinarian Clinic for all you do!! She also loves her chicken bandages read more

My Cavalier had been diagnosed with a serious heart murmur at another vet, plus teeth to be pulled. Julio did X-rays and an ultrasound. Turns out her heart condition is much less severe. He also scraped plaque off her teeth. Julio was very informative, knowledgeable, and made valuable recommendations. He was a super nice guy. I recommend him completely and will be returning when future needs arise. read more

DON'T DO BUSINESS AT SHINGLE SPRINGS VETERINARY CLINIC. I took my dog there at the end of the summer as he was really sick and had an injured left paw. After two nights at the clinic and a padded bill (per a real vet I took him to) I was charged $1,300. I returned a week later for a check up and waited almost 3 hours even though I had an appointment. I left without seeing anyone. I had to take my dog to the vet in Placerville and they immediately found that his left toe was broken and he had a cancerous tumor on his paw. I had to have his toe amputated. Today I received a bill from Shingle Springs Vet office for $151. This fraud of an office needs to be closed down and exposed for who they are..........DO NOT ever take you animal to this clinic........you will get ripped off. read more

IF YOU WANT A VET WHO TRULY CARES FOR YOUR PET AS IF IT IS HIS VERY OWN, THEN DR. BADER IS THE VET YOU WANT TO SEE! Dr. Bader saved my Rottweiler, Bella's life! He and his staff are very compassionate and understanding. I was at this clinic for countless hours and several days. I observed first-hand how they care for each animal that comes through their doors with great compassion. I witnessed a team-playing environment where so much was going on...My Bella's issues, a cat mauled by two dogs, rattlesnake bites, stitches, a dog that ate rat poison, a prolapsed cat, a dog that needed to be put down, etc., etc. the list could go on and on... In my opinion, by personal experience, many vets and their staff display a lack of compassion and empathy for the pet and the owner. This vet and his staff truly care. The compassion and understanding they display are definitely there... After we spent thousands of dollars at a Roseville Emergency Clinic for one night of observation, with no diagnosis and more funds being requested, I had to pull Bella from their system due to finances. Dr. Bader took over Bella's care and diagnosed her with Pancreatitis and saved her life! Dr. Bader gives realistic estimates and works with owners. Unlike the larger facilities who are mainly in this business for profit trying to support their high overhead costs. I say this because a simple blood test was readily available for Bella and the Roseville ER Clinic decided to use the 'wait and see' approach and wanted over $7K to observe her for four days. Dr. Bader worked with us on fees and he used a simple blood test, called cPLI which diagnosed her immediately... I WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER VET! Everyone in this office is wonderful and patient. My only regret is not getting my Bella into them sooner! A heartfelt blessing sent your way Dr. Bader and Staff...I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving our girl; she means everything to us! read more

The doctor miss diagnosed my dog for MONTHS!!!! Been asking for him to do a scan or whatever they need to do on a bump on his back. He kept saying it was a cyst. Turns out it's cancer!!! I'm so thankful I got a second opinion. They don't care and are neglectful. This old doctor should not be practicing WHAT SO EVER!!!! unbelievable. read more

My steer was very ill and starting on a Sunday I was looking for a vet that could come out asap. In El Dorado County there are a very few that care for cattle. Monday I called Shingle Springs Veterinary Clinic and within an hour had a 4:00 appt for a ranch call with Dr Bader. He was the only vet to reply quickly and also come out same day. Thank you Dr Bader as the steer would not have survived without you coming out that same day. read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE I brought my cat here because it was the only place open, for not even 2 days they were telling me that he was stable and within legitimately 3hours of them telling me that, my other gets a call from them saying that my cat had actually died. Please if you love your pet, do not bring them to this awful establishment, I wish that I hadn't thought of this crappy place but they're the only ones open at literal emergency hours. read more

I took my dog in late at night because she had managed to get a marrow bone cross-section hooked over her bottom jaw behind her canine teeth. We tried to snip it off but the bone was too thick and snug on her jaw to do it safely. I gave four stars because things were handled quickly, they were available and did their job, but minus one star because I wasn't really made to feel like this place was capable while I was there. It was ONLY through the action they proved themselves. Not enough words were said especially from the veterinarian himself. Being new to the area we did some web searches to find an emergency vet and this seemed to be the only one around, and they are not 24 hour. Luckily, our dog managed to do this early enough in the night to catch them before they closed at 12. The matter was handled quickly, and at an emergency rate cost a little over $300 which was about what I was expecting ( though hoping it would be less). They volunteered an estimate, before doing the work ...without me asking! The woman at the intake desk meantime's they've seen four of these in the last two weeks. they did an exam, knocked her out, cut the bone off and woke her up within 25 minutes. Very efficient. I didn't catch who the doctor was, but as he walked away, I was kind of concerned about his ability to physically handle my young, energetic, headstrong and panicking German Shepherd on his own, but it turned out he had an assistant in the back. So they were able to deal with her. I also was feeling really happy that she was the fourth one of these exact situations they've delt with recently and not the first, since he didn't say anything about how he was going to handle the situation, other that the reason for the exam was that they were checking to make sure her heart was good before putting her under While we were there, The dog drooled a LOT - all over the place - and while we were waiting I thought, ...they haven't cleaned up at all...? this place might not be very sterile- but when we were in the car leaving, I saw someone through the glass moping up. read more
