My beloved Lala had her oncology treatments here. Dr Kao and her team were so nice towards her and treated her with so much love that she loved going here for her chemotherapy treatments. Dr Kao did everything she could, and we were able to buy Lala 5 more months before she finally succumbed to renal lymphoma last Friday. I'm very grateful to her and the kind staff who showed nothing but compassion and kindness. Lala was my constant companion, my best friend since I adopted her in 2015; we basically spent most of our waking time together. She would even stay and lie on my desk as I worked or studied. I'm immensely thankful for the extra time that we got to spend together. She was my sunshine, and she fought until the end. Thank you. read more

Dr Rensing is the most caring amazing vet we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She genuinely cares about our fur babies and makes herself available to see them on a moments notice. I hope she will always be with VCA as a vet like her is 1 in a million. read more

Overpriced BAIT AND SWITCH ! how does both of the quotes you gave me for PU surgery- NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE total we would have to pay? I am utterly disappointed in this place- We were given two quotes and they did not even come close to what you're trying to charge us for the surgery. Shame on you.! The surgery scheduler called it an incomplete quote ?!?! Why would you not give a full quote ? Why am I thinking it's gonna be under 3000 For the surgery and it's actually over $6000?!? Please take your pets somewhere else-In an emergency-They will bleed you dry. They will push the CareCredit and run it up as much as they can. I remember thinking, how is a surgery cheaper than my cat staying in the hospital for three days? But guess what it was not true- and then they snatched those papers away from you so you don't have them To come back with. This place is a scam-I'm going to let everyone know Please do not give me your cookie cutter reply that I've seen you give everyone else-I don't need it. I've already read it. read more

I appreciate that this VCA location tries really hard to make services accessible financially. I'd been quoted $10k for diagnostics at a Sacramento VCA (cue a heart attack), but Loomis has consistently been much more affordable (less than half what Sacramento quoted me). The internal medicine group makes sure to provide a personalized write up for each appointment, which proves incredibly helpful, and they are very transparent with pricing. They were also very quick to get me in for a consultation. read more

This is an updated review for VCA Loomis Basin, following our first after hours, aka ER Visit: I live in the downtown area, but following my previous experience with Loomis Basin, I didn't even call another ER in my area! I called ahead, was given the green light to bring Jameson in. I waited roughly 45 min prior to him being taken back to be seen, which was not long (all ER vets triage to ensure that if your pup is vital - which Jameson was not - that they are seen accordingly). Jameson saw Dr. Lizzie Ruffman which was SO nice and SO pleasant (which honestly, is the best when you are concerned about your baby). Dr. Ruffman made great recommendations, and explained everything very thoroughly. Jameson received an abbreviated blood panel (which results were received within 30 min), and ultimately, Jameson went home with antibiotics and probiotics :) What I would also like to add, is that previously, I have paid $300 for ER visits at Vista, etc. This visit at VCA Loomis Basin(the initial visit only, which does not include treatments) was $197. While I was writing this update, I also received a text from Taylor at VCA Loomis, checking on Jameson! I love that kind of follow-up. I was happy to tell Taylor, that Jameson is on the mend!!! Hopefully you never have to take your fur baby for an ER visit, but let's be honest - whenever something alarming does occur, it always seems to be after regular business hours and/or on weekends ... with that said, I believe that VCA Loomis provides the attention and care that would help ease your stress and that of your fur baby. read more

Horrible 2nd experience with them no compassion unless you have the money told my friend since she didn't have the all the money there was always euthanization like it was nothing mind you she had $700 but that was only enough for them to say what she needed and two shots of pain meds I can't believe they do people and pets like they do read more

If I could give a thousand stars, I would. My beloved 18-year old feline life partner and companion went outside last Wednesday evening to chew some grass and he never returned home, which he has never done before. He was picked up by Rocklin animal control in a neighboring apartment complex on Friday badly injured and taken to Loomis Basin. Under the care of Dr. Kat Hilton, my baby was given x-rays, fluids, pain medication, and a comfy kennel all to himself for catnaps and rest. Due to a mixup with microchip contact info, it took Rocklin animal control 3 days to find me. Dr. Hilton and her team treated Bailey with the care and love he deserved until I could be found. When I arrived to identify my baby, I was immediately joined by Sharon King. She didn't leave my side, even staying an hour past when her shift ended, while I waited to learn about Bailey's injuries and prognosis. I didn't have to go through any of this emotional experience alone. Ultimately, I decided the best decision for Bailey was to give him a safe and peaceful trip across the Rainbow Bridge, but seeing the love and care he got for 3 days at Loomis Basin when I couldn't be there to care for him really touched my heart. It would be easy to just write off a badly injured 18-year old cat whose owner could t immediately be found. They did the opposite. Dr. Hilton and Sharon King are true angels and I will never forget the love and care my baby got at Loomis Basin in his final days. Thank you doesn't seem like enough, but thank you from the bottom of my heart (and Bailey's too, I'm sure). read more

I'm devastated, but I truly don't understand some of these reviews right now so let me explain my story.. Came home with my children and my boxer was having a full blown seizure. He was old (almost 13) and had seizures in the past. Perfect blood, but tumors and potentially worse in his brain. It was his time. We watched him in a full blown seizure for a few minutes and it didn't stop at all. Put him in the car and raced to this hospital-didn't say a word just carried him in (still seizing) with my two kids right next to me. They called immediately for a Vet, and two people came over and grabbed him, they stabilized him within minutes called me back into a room and I was just in tears. Just the response and basic common sense to know what was going on-I was honestly not expecting that. I've been to many vets-but no appointment, no phone call-I just saw my dog and knew it was time. It was bad. I will remember this for a very long time and I just want you all to know that I'm grateful for the help. My wife was out of town and at a business meeting-she's devastated too because she didn't get to say goodbye to her baby, but the immediate care and understanding was unbelievably surprising. You all have my heart, and thank you for responding as quickly as you did to put our poor baby to rest. I truly hope we don't see you soon, but I will highly recommend you to those looking for vet care and competence. read more

Loomis has a reputation of being expensive, but I am here to tell you, they are AMAZING, they love your animals, and they are not price-gougers by any means! I just drove all over the map, trying to get a reasonable price quote for surgery for my dog whose cyst was rupturing, and ended here as a last resort because I had heard they were so expensive, and they ended up being the most caring, kind, sincere, and LEAST EXPENSIVE place I visited, including my own vet (who I love, but their quote was even higher than Loomis and Loomis is an emergency vet, so higher costs are expected). Amy did my dog's surgery and I felt like she was a guardian angel! I had gone to Roseville Specialty Hospital where their vet staff was robotic, the place was sterile and empty (Loomis was PACKED for obvious reasons) and where they tried to price gouge me to the point of disgust. Loomis did the opposite and charged me less than half of what Roseville Specialty did. I will never go anywhere for emergency services again--don't let the "expensive" reputation drive you away from here. If I had just gone here, I'd have saved $1000 in fees I was charged elsewhere, until I ended up here. I love this place and wish I could make it my regular vet! read more

I really wish I didn't feel compelled to write this. For many decades Loomis Basin has served this community with dedication and compassion. I'm sorry to say things have changed and not for the better. When they sold out to VCA the focus changed to profits over care and compassion. They have always been a little higher priced then the other doctors. But the level of care justify the cost which we happily paid. We had t w o Rottweiler German Shepherds Heidi and Eva and they were sisters. Last year Heidi became suddenly ill and I rushed her to the vet. The vet said he was cancer and it affected her heart. I asked her are you wearing wasn't sure. The doctor's reply was yes and she couldn't be saved. I was heartbroken and collapsed with grief. It wasn't till after Heidi was put to sleep that I recalled the lab test were inconclusive. The veterinarian was so quick to recommend the unthinkable. But I trust her when I should have used common sense. Fast forward a couple of months ago. Her sister Ava developed a large softball size Mass on her hip. I took her to the vet and we were given the worst possible prognosis. They told us to make her comfortable and to spend time with her. They talked about oncologist and amputations. And they said even with all that she wouldn't have wanted to live. I was devastated because Eva was my favorite I was hers and she was mine. Not that I don't love all my fur babies equally Ava was just special. So when I was told the lab results for inconclusive once again this time I snapped out of it. This time I said no I'm prognosis is an acceptable and I disagree. A newer product called Carnivora. It's been around for 40 years and it's made from the Venus flytrap. I asked the doctor if she had heard of it and she replied no with little interest in finding out more. So please correct me if I'm wrong but if you're a doctor and your job was saving lives wouldn't you not be aware of any potential product that can save lives? It was said that Ronald Reagan we're out in the White House developed cancer and it was coronavira Nick quietly solve the problem. So this doctor who's supposed to be so knowledgeable do not have a clue or if she did it wasn't part of the corporate structures plan for healing since the bottle of pills cost me 35 bucks and the carnivore extract $39. After placing Ava on the Carnivora within a week and a half I will say this again within a week and a half that Mass begin to shrink. And within 3 weeks again I repeat this 3 weeks that mass I completely disappeared. When I took Ava to the vet 3 weeks prior I was considering building stairs so she could get in and out of the car. Within one month she was flying into that car with one Leap. This 11-year-old dog was acting like a year old puppy. It cost me nearly $2,000 that night they first give me a diagnosis. But it only cost me around 90 dollars including shipping for the bottle of pills and the extract and Carnivora. Ava to this day Mourns the Lost and her sister. All she knows is that how do you left with me one day and never came back.. you're not supposed to feel the need to second-guess your doctor. They are after all the doctor. VCA has been profits ahead of anything else. They are very quick to offer euthanasia over treatment. I guess they figure if you can't afford one you can afford the other and for VCA that's a win-win. Lewis basin does have some incredible employees however my faith and their staff of doctors has been forever destroyed. read more

We arrived for a simple vet tech appointment for a Librela shot. This is a monthly occurrence. We arrived at 8:05 for an 8:20 appointment. After checking in several people came in. They all had appointments after ours. By 8:50 we still had not been seen and everyone that came in after us had been taken to the back. Some people were 15-30 minutes late for their appointment. We have been going to Loomis Basin for over 30 years, but their service has been declining in the past few years. read more

My German Shepherd is turning 8 years old on Monday and I really want her to get exceptional care. This location was highly recommended by my vet at VIP petcare I emphasized to them several times that Jem has bad anxiety and might need help getting in and out of the Vet. They were extremely understanding. Luckily, I got a large dog stroller and was able to just wheel her in with not much trouble. 1. I left messages for an appointment and they got back to me within 24 hours. They rescheduled the first surgery with no charge the day before because by baby got her period early and it was just easier for us to wait. 2. Dropped her off at 730, there was a 15-20 min wait. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. We are allowed to be in the waiting area, just not in the back with the pet. 3. Dr. Aimee Gallardo gave me a call and walked me through with what they will do and when I should expect to hear a call back. She was so sweet and informative. 4. Received discharge notice through the phone and picked her up at 130. My dog jumped and hit the seat and the vet tech came and crouched under to double check if then incision was still good to go. The total price was $815 with meds and everything. It was pricey, but worth it for my dog. However, I was quoted only ~560 on the phone, that didn't include all the medications and cone. Also, the scheduler told me to not have Jem take her Gabapentin because she will be placed under. When, I got there the nurse told me they usually encourage people to give the calming meds to their dog prior to the visit. So there were a few miscommunications, but overall a very amazing process. read more

My dogs (I'm on my 4th cocker now) pull me to go in, they can't wait to get inside and visit. Even my latest addition, he is just 4 months old and when we went for his last set of puppy shots, he recognized our vet Dr. Faulkner and was sooo excited to see her! They LOVE coming here and so do I. I have had nothing but excellent care here for my babies. I have experienced other vets and places through out my life, some very good some not so great but VCA Loomis has been nothing but exceptional. Thank you to everyone who works here, you have a great team. Most of all thank you Dr. Faulkner for your excellent loving care. We appreciate you SO MUCH! read more

We had an emergency with our boy, Rocky on Labor Day, and my husband called VCA Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic to see if they could help Rocky. We didn't feel that waiting until the next day was an option, and neither did VCA Loomis Basin. We were asked to bring Rocky in right away, and we did just that. When we arrived I went in to let them know we were there, and our boy was weak, so they brought out a gurney to the car and moved Rocky from the car to the gurney and into the office. Once Rocky was with them, it was only about ten minutes before Dr. Kathryn Mueller, DVM came in to speak with my husband and I concerning Rocky. Her delivery of the message regarding Rocky and the options before us were so honest and compassionate - seemed that she felt everything we were feeling and while the prognosis was not good for Rocky, I couldn't have asked for a better person to deliver the news and give my husband and I as much time as we needed to decide the best path forward. After listening to Dr. Mueller explain our options, my husband and I decided that putting Rocky to sleep was the most humane action we could take for him. We had plenty of time to say our goodbyes to Rocky, and after seeing and speaking with Dr. Mueller we felt that Dr. Mueller was the only one that we wanted to take care of our boy. After this devastating event, we have experienced in person the compassionate care and concern that VCA Loomis Basin has for all pets. We are forever loyal patients of Dr. Mueller. Thank you again for all your care and compassion. Updated review - The newest member of our family Boofy, had her visit with Dr Monica Muriello, and she was awesome. Courtney, her medical assistant was just as awesome. They both took the time to go over the information we had from SPCA, and spent time examining Boofy and even took the time to answer our many questions. Boofy will always be in good hands with VCA Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic and we won't go anywhere else. Please give a well deserved thanks to both Dr. Monica and Courtney - as well as the office staff. They made checking in for the appointment as well as checking out very easy. Everyone at VCA Loomis Basin has been a pleasure to work with. You all deserve more than 5 Stars -- maybe a hundred stars would be close to how much Boofy, my husband, and I appreciate you all. Thank you so much for your time and helpful tips. read more

I was treated horribly by this vet. I arrived at 8:30 and left at 11:30 without a vet examining my dog. They said they wanted to do a parvo test to rule it out even though my puppy is 6 months old and fully vaccinated but I agreed. The horrible part is after having us sit outside to avoid contact with other animals (makes sense), they called me to ask for payment before doing the parvo test. No problem, I paid via a link they texted me... they said the test takes 8 minutes... after an hour I went in to inquire about the results and was told it was negative. How is it that they can call to ask for payment but couldn't call to tell me the results of the test. They left us sitting for 3 whole hours and never took us back to be examined by the vet. All animals before and after our arrival were given rooms and there were some that looked "non-critical" as they labeled us. HORRIBLE TREATMENT read more

My mother and I brought our 6-month old, fully vaccinated puppy to this clinic and sat for three hours as we watched every person who came in after us be helped before us. When asked for an update we were told she would be seen next, and nothing. Then we ask again and are told the animals who are in less stable conditions need to be seen first, which is just after our baby girl had thrown up in the parking lot. We were also told then that we were not next, but would be seen AFTER the next patient. If we were racing against the clock they would have let our puppy die. Terrible experience. read more

Love, love, love the care that my sweet Greyhound Tilly got yesterday at Loomis Basin! The staff was great and the doctor Nikki Wolley was awesome! She did not rush me and explained everything about Tilly's condition and what needed to be done! She was so caring and so was the front desk staff and the techs. Thank you so much for making me feel so much better about my sweet Tilly, and helping me with her condition! It's worth the wait here! read more

I brought my Murphy boy here after he ate a power cord (puppy life, cool). I was pretty worried after he starting throwing up a bunch of the copper wire inside of the power cord. I came here on a holiday weekend to utilize the emergency services. Everyone was extremely nice and compassionate. I felt like they did their jobs & got to the point. Once I was able to see the vet I felt she was knowledgeable, sincere and compassionate as well. My dog didn't return from getting X-rays/fluids/meds looking terrified which made me feel better! After my experience here with their emergency side, I am considering switching to them as my primary vet service. Thank you for taking care of my dog! read more

My dog Baxter had a year long battle with cancer. During this time he received treatment from Dr. Kao and her staff. She is an amazing, kind and patient doctor who helped us out. We don't live in the area so we would have to coordinate follow up testing with our local vet and transfer records back and fourth. Everyone also got to know Baxter and help him have an easier time with treatments, especially Sunny who worked with him so he wouldn't need to always be sedated for his chemotherapy. Additionally if your pet undergoes chemotherapy there will be hiccups. This meant coordinating with third and sometimes fourth and fifth other veterinary hospitals for emergency treatment. As time went on our dog developed other issues, primarily with his heart. We then were working with Dr. Stack and his staff. They too are amazing people who took their time with us. We had quite a few emergency checkups which he does a great job of managing his schedule to accommodate your pet. There are so many great, kind, passionate people who work there. Kristen for most of Baxter's time there worked the onboarding for oncology and made my slightly shy boy excited to see her. When Baxter passed we got him back in a beautiful wooden urn. I had been stressing about what to do with his remains and the service they used for him was so much more than for our other dog and cat who passed years ago. I feel very lucky to have gotten Baxter in with these amazing people. Please be patient as every vet in the area is overwhelmed with all the animals that need help. They are doing everything they can and do an amazing job at it. read more

Five stars: The staff was wonderful. Our cat mauled a quail the other day. Traumatic to say the least. I chased our cat off and scooped up Dan, place them in a box, and headed to the vet office. They were understanding and all the staff were professional. I signed Dan over, and they were going to determine the best course of action. Hopefully I wont need to be back. read more

If you saw my other 1-star review for an emergency vet clinic, you'll know this was my second choice of the day. Things started off okay. They took my dear sweet Seneca off to triage and they let me run out and get some dinner (it was about 7:15pm or so). They told me to let them know when I returned. I got my dinner ate it really fast and came back. I was probably gone 15 to 20 minutes. I came back, let them know I was back and took my seat. 45 minutes goes by and I get phone call. "Hi are you back from dinner yet?". What was the point of me talking to anyone if they're just going to ignore me? The entire 2 hours I spent there felt disgusting. The pleather on the seats was cracking and falling apart. There were HUGE clumps of hair all over the floor. A giant hair ball tumble-weeding around the lobby... it's shameful and VCA should really audit this branch. After Triage they only told me "she's stable" and nothing more. Not her weight, not her temperament.... not even that she had a fever. SHE HAD A FEVER! I'd been here once before and the service seemed okay... but I don't think I'll ever come here again and I will advise friends, family and co-workers to do the same. VCA needs to fix this place... it's a total circus, but the patient feels like the clown. Oh yeah, and I left for a different vet clinic after they told me it was a 4-5 hour wait. But then 45 minutes after I arrived at the next clinic I get a call "Oh, your room is ready!". Well, then maybe you should have told me if you wanted to keep my business. Too late, I'm already gone. read more

Had my dog in twice today for pain. It was hard to get a diagnosis but the vet figured it out and I had to get more pain pills. I came in twice very nervous and anxious. The vet and staff were so good. My million calls and questions were answered quick and with complete understanding and kindness. I would recommend any one to go there. I'm home Abel to sleep with out being up all night worried about my girl. Pet lovers know this feeling of relief. Thanks for the great help read more

I realize this post is overdue, but I feel it's important to share my experience with this veterinary facility. I previously posted another review, and I encourage you to read that as well. Approximately 2 years ago my dog Ella began experiencing uneven breathing, prompting us to rush her to Loomis Basin. After waiting for three hours, I took her outside to their front field so she could use the restroom. She ran, played, and relieved herself without any apparent issues. When we were finally seen, Ella was taken to the back for further evaluation. She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure but was advised to undergo a full workup over two days to confirm the diagnosis. We were presented with a treatment plan that included oxygen therapy, multiple lab tests, chest X-rays, an ultrasound, an echocardiogram, and a two-day hospital stay--totaling approximately $5,700. Notably, the plan did not include attempting a diuretic, which is a common first-line treatment for congestive heart failure. Instead, the focus appeared to be on extensive testing over a two-day period rather than immediate stabilization. After we questioned the treatment plan wenwere told that she likely wouldn't survive the next 24 hours and that the most compassionate option would be to relieve her pain. Having had five rescues with congestive heart failure--each living an average of 2.5 years on medication following the same diagnosis--I remained hopeful that Ella's condition could be managed. This prior experience made me question the urgency of the recommendation to euthanize her without first attempting a more immediate treatment approach. Less than an hour later, we were informed that Ella's condition was critical and that euthanasia was the best course of action. Trusting their expertise, I reluctantly followed their guidance. When Ella was brought to me to hold during her final moments, she appeared fully alert, and something about the situation felt inherently wrong. Nevertheless, I deferred to the professionals, believing they had her best interests at heart. In the aftermath, I struggled with overwhelming feelings of doubt and regret. Over time, I began to question whether Ella truly needed to be euthanized that day. Unfortunately, I will never know for certain, and I continue to carry the sadness of that decision. This experience has left me feeling that this facility prioritizes costly testing and euthanasia over exploring immediate and potentially life-saving treatments. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this clinic. VCA has since taken ownership, and it now primarily offers preventive care services. Final Thoughts: An ultrasound could have been performed, and a diuretic could have been administered to reduce the fluid buildup. Whether or not this approach would have been successful, we will never know. However, based on my experience with other dogs in similar conditions, I firmly believe it may have worked. If it didn't, we would have had confirmation of heart failure without requiring an echocardiogram, X-rays, and other costly, time-consuming tests. That, to me, is what emergency care should prioritize--stabilization first, testing later. read more

My new kitten was rushed here with my wife while having difficulty breathing and in and out of consciousness . She arrived and was told to fill out paperwork. The cat passed out and then someone came to get him. They preformed CPR and charged us over $700. The cat didn't make it and they insisted on then putting him down after he was already dead. I arrived shortly after from work and no one in there knew who my wife was or my cat. THEY ARE NOT URGENT. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR PET. THEY WANT YOUR MONEY. I had a similar experience with a dog that was bitten with by a rattlesnake. read more

Unfortunately, on Memorial Day, our 12-year-old Boston Terrier was bitten by a rattlesnake. We live in North Auburn, and we rushed her down VCA Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic. I phoned on the way to let them know we were on our way and my heart sank when the receptionist told me the wait for stable pets was currently 5 to 7 hours. However, almost immediately upon our arrival, Nicole, who was absolutely fantastic, came out to triage Maddie and took her back right away. Not long after that, Dr. Tomlinson met with us to go over what they would be doing for Maddie and what to expect. By the time we left, just over an hour later, Maddie's head was the size of a basketball, and we really did not have much hope for her recovery. However, over the next few days, Dr. Tomlinson, Dr. Gigi and staff gave it their all to save her and it was a severe bite. Both doctors were highly competent, knowledgeable and experienced and took the time to keep us updated, even in the middle of the night. Maddie ended up needing 5 vials of anti-venom and I believe it usually takes only 1 to 2 to do the trick. She ended up needing to stay in the hospital for 4 days and Caroline from the accounting department kept us informed on costs, so there were no surprises. We were also able to visit Maddie and met her ICU nurse, Monica, who was beyond wonderful and took such good care of Maddie. Absolutely every staff member that we interacted with was friendly, kind, professional and compassionate and we observed this kind of interaction with everyone that came in. We will forever be thankful for the excellent care that Maddie received at Loomis Basin and would not hesitate to recommend them highly for anyone's pet needs and it gives peace of mind to know that they are there 24/7, even on holidays. We returned to the non-emergency side for a follow up visit a few days later and our experience was just as excellent. Words cannot express our gratitude, Loomis Basin, but thank you! read more

Overall, we had an amazing experience. They were so gentle and caring with our sweet girl. So many tests, days and nights spent in the ER/ICU. I could go on and on about the techs and nurses and everyone. Ultimately, we ended up having to put our baby to sleep. BUT, what I will say about Dr. Amy G, (didn't get her last name) was that she was a very condescending, evil person. She came in, and this is all VERBATIM, right from the get go said "I know I'm a blunt person, but is this just financial?" She said that it is not the owners call to euthanize, but only the vets call. She said she wasn't going to kill our dog. I immediately told her she was insinuating that we were murdering our family dog. THEN, after me questioning her and calling her out on her "bluntness" she said that we could go to another vet if we wanted. I am appalled by her. I've never experienced someone so awful and just mean. This one star is not a reflection on Loomis Basin and the other amazing people there, just solely on that one doctor and our interaction. They were amazing and they're are kind and gentle and everyone else came around us and supported us and cried with us for our sweet girl. We battled for years to keep our girl happy, and now she is at peace. read more

We were introduced to Loomis Basin when my girl needed an emergency spay. She was scheduled for a spay at our veterinary clinic in November. But when I returned home from my grandfather's funeral in October, there was something REALLY wrong. The week prior, she had pooped out what looked like jelly. We were given some medication to try and treat it. Then, the following Monday as I was getting ready for work, I noticed she had blood EVERYWHERE after going to the bathroom. I called and let the ER know we were on the way. When we arrived, they gave her a blankie to lay on in the waiting room. They were kind and loving and took her back after a short wait. We found out she needed to have an emergency spay. I was scared for her, but knew it was necessary. We were given up to date information as it came in. She had to stay the night and then another night because she was having a hard time with recovery. I knew she was in good hands even though I had only been there the week before. She had a nurse with her 24 hours a day in the doggy ICU. I got to visit her. When it was time to bring her home, they gave me great advice and checked in on her regularly. I am so grateful for the care that was given to my girl. Yes! It's ER. It's pricey. But it's no different with humans. We go to the ER and get a WHOPPING bill whether we're admitted or not. The vet called us each time something new came up. Before they did anything, they explained what was needed, told the cost and gave us the choice of whether or not to continue treatment. I was fortunate to have the support I needed to help take care of the bill. Not everyone does, and that's ok. We love our fur babies like family. Follow up care and check ups in the clinic were great. Less pricey than ER. A year later, I am so glad I chose to take her to Loomis and not some other ERs that were suggested. Hopefully we don't need ER again, but I know where I'll take my girl if we do! read more

This clinic only cares about money and contributed to ruining my cats life. He has FLUTD. We were recommended a prescription dry food diet that ended up hurting him and caused him to be blocked, which resulted in him being hospitalized here. We lost thousands of dollars, and we had to rely on a Good Samaritan's help for a surgery he honestly should have never had. The surgery resulted in him getting constant UTIs and I had to find my own cure for him. Please do your own research before you ever decide to get a PU surgery for your FLUTD cat. Catinfo.org will provide you with the right information on how to help your cat. You need to make sure he's primarily given a wet food diet. Do not feed him a prescription wet food diet because it WILL hurt him if you give it to him longer than 2 weeks. Use it for emergency use only. And If you have to give him dry food, it needs to be from Nulo and it has to be duck and trout. Update: My precious boy still gets UTIs, but not as often. Almost every day he is given D-Mannose+Cranberry from Sprouts. We also give him Chanca Piedra (which helps reduce crystals/kidney stones) and Moringa Leaf (which destroys E. coli) once a week. I really hope this helps any cat lover who has a cat suffering from FLUTD. I don't want others to go through what we've gone through. God bless you all. read more

My cat went for her first exam here today and she has a history of being abandoned by two different previous owners. She was extremely scared in the waiting room but as soon as we entered the exam room, the staff treated her so well and calmed her down. The tech immediately put my cat onto her lap and began petting her to get her to relax and was petting her for about 10 min before the exam began. The vet performed the exam while she was on the tech's lap, which I appreciated, vs the table they had. They gave me very good advice and were understanding with our situation. I am beyond happy I went here and felt so much better seeing how my cat was being treated here. We even received a gift bag for our first visit. Thank you so much for your kindness. read more

I have been to Loomis Basin twice for 2 different dogs and both times they were caring, helpful and very professional. My most recent visit was to let one of my dogs go because he was diagnosed with severe cancer of the spleen and abdomen. They helped me find a financially feasible way to confirm his illness doing an ultrasound to identify the cancer and when we made the very difficult decision to put him down, they made it very comfortable and painless for him and for us. If I lived closer, they would be my regular vet instead of our emergency vet. Thank you doctors and staff for making a difficult time manageable . read more

This place is amazing. I started out here with getting my Great Dane a laparoscopic gastropexy and spay. They did an amazing job on my girl and took really good care of her. About a year later, we had an emergency and she almost died. The doctors here took quick care to save my girl. They were amazing and took excellent care of her again, Once again, we had an emergency, thankfully not life threatening this time. And again, they did an amazing job and sent her back home feeling much better. I would suggest this clinic to any one anytime if they are in need of special care or an emergency visit. The staff is so amazing here I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you VCA Loomis Basin!! read more
