Even if they tell you a box will be OK to transport your cat don't believe them they will charge…read moreyou $10 for one of their boxes. This morning, I dropped off my cats one to be spayed and one to be neutered. I brought them in one cat carrier and was told that I needed to have two when I picked them up. I asked the woman at the counter if I could not find a second carrier if a box would work and she said yes, that should work. I showed up to pick up my cats at 3:30 and was told that my box was not adequate enough because it could not be secured at the top. Although the flaps fit tightly together and I demonstrated that, I cut holes in the side for ventilation and we were driving less than 10 minutes away in an air conditioned car. I was told in order to take my cat. I could either take one home and come back or that I have to buy one of their boxes. I told them I would really rather use my box and I was then told that my cat would not be released to me unless I bought the box. I did not want to get into a big altercation yelling and an older woman in a vet office so I acquiesce and bought a box. There was an uninvolved customer waiting with her two dogs who made multiple comments about how she did not agree and I should be able to put my cat in the box to take it home. $10 is not the problem, the problem was being told a box would work and then having my cats held hostage until I bought their product after just having $500 worth of vet work done. I pride myself on being a shop local, a support local business type of person, but I will be going to literally anyone else from now on.

Dr. Strong is wonderful. Very knowledgeable and having worked in the field forever, immediately…read moreconnects with, and has a great rapport with animals. He's the only vet I know of that doesn't come across as a hypochondriac trying to freak you out about your pet's health so you shell out loads of money for unnecessary tests and procedures. He's clearly in the field because he loves animals. Not for the money. And that probably explains the clinic... which is my reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. The clinic (located in an older house with additions added) is sort of tired and worn out, which is purely aesthetic and has nothing to do with his skill as a vet, which is considerable.

Was hoping to have them take a quick look just to see if it was something serious, like a tick, or perhaps all was well, allergy, and we could just have her checked out once home. Arrived 30 minutes before they opened and was told by a team member, as she was setting up, that because I was not a current client that there was nothing they could do. I asked whether the vet could take a peek in her ear really quick, I'd pay whatever for the 5 minute peek. AgaIn was told there was nothing they could do. Coming from a family of Vets, I assure you they'd all have taken a few quick minutes to take a peek. Sad that peeking outside the box was such a stretch for them.

On Sunday morning, January 6, 2019, I brought my pup in for a blood test so that she could have her…read moreheartworm medication and I was also planning to purchase Sentinel from them as well. I have been using VIP Petcare for a while now and most of the time, the employees were friendly and competent. This particular VIP Petcare from Windsor, CA was questionable. Perhaps I caught them on a wrong day but Dr. G. and his two assistants were so business-like they acted like they didn't like animals. First of all, Dr. G. wanted my dog to jump on the examining table but when my dog was reluctant because she was scared and would not do so, I had to carry and lift her on the table and she is not a small dog. Most vets I know would simply have taken the blood test on the floor. When Dr. G. failed twice to obtain blood from my pup's front leg, he decided to try on one of the hind legs and at which point I was asked to soothe my dog because of the assistant not knowing how to soothe an animal. Even the groomers I take my pup to are much more caring and soothing than his assistants. After I purchased a years supply of Sentinel, I asked for a written prescription. One of the male assistants who helped with my dog chimed in from across the room asking, "well, why would you need a prescription when you have to have your pet tested every year"? Too much of idiot to not come up and speak to me face-to-face. I didn't want to argue with the half-wit as I wanted to get out of there. His statement was bullsh*t because I was told by another veterinarian that it's not necessary to have your pet tested every year as long as the medication is given continually and consistently. These people simply want to monopolize on selling their products and services. Indifference toward animals, a veterinarian with a superior demeanor, employees devoid of a sense of humor, and one unprofessional employee with a crappy attitude = 1 out of 5 stars.

I had recently rescued handsome Orion from slaughter & I had not got him to the point to trust me enough to get a halter on him, so we needed someone with a stock trailer & fast. Luckily, Jack Mattern with Mattern Livestock Hauling was available. Jack arrived and was very professional and conscientious of the situation and my horses needs. We loaded him right up with ease. He also already knew the exact streets to take, once we arrived at the freeway exit to UC Davis Large Animal Hospital, which was a relief and made the going easier. Jack was supportive throughout the whole hauling process. Sadly, my beautiful boy did not make it, as his large bowel was too far swollen & necrotic to survive the surgery. After saying goodbye to my sweet, young boy, Jack provided a much-needed shoulder to cry on. I can't recommend Jack Mattern's service more highly, even though the outcome was horrible, Jack was 100% stellar from start to finish.
