Amazing staff . So kind and considerate and respectful . We have old dogs and in the last year we…read morehad to take our 2 old boys in to be put down . The staff handled everything with such care and compassion and very competitive price . Just this week I had to take my 14 year old little Chaweenie in on emergency and I really thought I was about to lose her too ... But they handled her issue with such care and accuracy that she's home and so far doing great ! Also super competitive priced on her care too ( I guarantee from experience, if I would have had to drive her down to Loomis basin I would have paid at least 3 times what I did and without the care and compassion )

I know this is a late review but I have been thinking about this for quite sometime now, 3 years to…read morebe exact and I feel like this needs to be addressed. In January of 2023 I took my cocker spaniel to motherlode veterinary for surgery to get a cancerous tumor removed. After the surgery I took her in to make sure everything was healing properly and the vet said yes everything looks fine. Several weeks later after the scar was more healed I noticed there was still a part of what looked like the tumor left. I then took her in again they tested it and said it was benign. I really did not think this was this case but I just wanted to believe so badly that she was cured and everything was fine. Several more weeks go by and I notice it's growing vastly so I call up another vet to get a second opinion in Auburn. I bring my dog there and they very clearly are like yea this is cancerous and needs to be removed immediately although your dog may not make it because of all the stress from the last surgery. Unfortunately she did not make it. If the vet at motherlode would have been honest about not removing the tumor all the way with initial surgery and also about it being cancerous I believe I would have had more time with her. I just think people should be aware of this. After this experience I personally would never recommend this veterinary hospital to anyone. 0 stars for me. I think they care more about your money than the actual pet.

BRAVO! Also, Sydney was an absolute doll. She just radiates true caring for both pets and pet parent. And that is so much appreciated when you're stressed out. Thank you, Sydney! Also concerning Odin... I rushed in without an appointment last Wednesday because it was an emergency,. All were so professional, and fast. Odin was looked at and diagnosed quickly even though they were pretty booked, which was so important when your beloved pet is in pain. Dr. Morrow took the time to explain to me what actually happened to Odin as far as he could tell from the X-ray. It was comforting to hear from him that I did the right thing even though Odin will be sadly missed daily, he was a one of a kind loving boy...

I took my 15 year old cat in for a wellness check and his shots on June 2, 2026. Doctor was not…read moreconcerned that my Popeye has lost 2 pounds in 2 months, and also said his heart was strong. Took him back 2 weeks later for an arthritis shot, and Popeye had lost another 1/2 pound. Dr wasn't concerned. Also, at this appointment I had taken my 6 year old who doesn't like strangers. My 6 year old bit me (not any of the staff), but they decided to also wrap my frail 15 year old in a blanket to give him a shot. Popeye was my 15 year old, and he NEVER tried to bite vet tech giving him a shot. In fact, when he got his vaccines on June 2, he acted like he didn't even know he had any shots. Took Popeye to a different vet on July 2 for a comprehensive senior check. They immediately found a severe heart murmur. They did labs and the next day told me his creatinine was 8.1. They expected 2-4 days based on his numbers. He lived another 36 days after that diagnosis. I would never recommend Wolf Creek to anybody.

Roughly 3 months ago, I told one of the girls at the front counter, that she looked like a certain…read moreactress and I showed her a picture of the actress. She said yes, she can see the resemblance and that was the end of it. The next month, I picked up insulin for my dog without any issues and again the month after that, I picked up insulin for my dog, yet again without any issues. Then a few days ago, I called in his prescription and they said, that they would fill it. It was his last refill, before needing blood work done again. Then just 2 days ago, I received a voicemail, while I was asleep, saying that I am no longer a serviceable client, due to an incident in their office. If they are referring to the conversation that took place 3 months ago, it wasn't an incident, it was a conversation and if that's what they are referring to, why is it now an incident, 3 months after the fact? Regardless of their reasons, if they don't want me as a client, that's fine, but don't let my dog suffer without insulin, over a 3 month old complaint. They are the only Vet, that had my dog's records and therefore, it would cost me hundreds of dollars, just to have him seen at another Vet and to have a Blood Glucose Curve done. No new Vet, will just give you insulin for your dog, without an initial screening and without a Blood Glucose Curve. I work long hours and 6 days a week right now, so scrambling to find a Vet, that would see my dog in the next day or two, was gonna be a challenge and that's not even considering the monetary aspect of it. I had to come up with a few hundred dollars and find a Vet that would see him immediately, just to get his insulin, which he hasn't had in 2 days. I still had 1 refill for my dog, so I suggested that I pay over the phone and send a friend in, to pick it up, but they refused to release, his last refill. Diabetic dogs shouldn't go more than 2-3 days without insulin, as it could cause life threatening issues. So whatever the issue was, which wasn't bad at all, they blew it out of proportion and they were willing to let my dog die, all because they took the word of one of their staff members and didn't even hear my side of it. Professionally, they should have let me know, what the complaint was and allowed me to share my side of it. I am only guessing, that it was the conversation that took place 3 months ago. I was able to round up enough money and I found a Vet that would see him today, so I took him to the new Vet and paid for the initial visit and a bottle of insulin for my dog. They scheduled an appointment 2 weeks out, to do a Blood Glucose Curve for him, but they gave me a bottle of insulin anyways, to save my dog's life. Whatever the incident was, I can assure you, it wasn't inappropriate, or sexual in nature. Even if she felt uncomfortable about it, why complain about it 3 months later? Why choose to not treat my dog, over something that I may, or may not have said, without hearing my side of it? I still don't even know what's it's about. Either way, they were gonna let my dog die, because if I wasn't able to come up with the money, or find a Vet that would see him immediately, he would have continued to go without his insulin. Not wanting me as a client is fine. Letting my dog suffer, or die, is not fine. I was even willing to pay for the insulin, over the phone and have a friend pick it up, but even that was denied. Luckily, I found another Vet, that was able to see him and they gave me a bottle of insulin to take home and scheduled the Blood Glucose Curve, for 2 weeks out. They saved my dog's life. I won't mention the Vet that saved my dog's life, not in this negative post, as I don't want anyone to be confused on who the negative post is about. I will write about, the positive experience that I had with the rescuing Vet, in a separate review. I don't usually write reviews, but this was about my dog and his life wasn't valued enough, to even get his last refill. I get defending your staff, but I did nothing wrong and still don't even know for sure, what the complaint was about. Even so, my dog could have died, because of the complaint, that if I am right, wasn't even an incident.
