Vets near Camino, CA

“Everyone who works here and cared for our kitties are very fondly remembered by their kind and gentle presence and after two years back in NY, I measure the present care of our feline babies now with their new doctors, recalling the excellent care that was consistently provided by both Dr Christopher Garden and Dr Lourdes Garden and Dr Stephanie Carlson. A great big batch of hugs to Teri at the front desk who always took the time to settle my nerves and brace my fears....Miss you all!!”

“Had to put my dog down today as bad of the experience that is the staff at this place was wonderful. This is not my regular vet. Mine was too busy to get me in. They recommended Pleasant Valley veterinary. The doctor and the front staff were so nice. They first gave her a sedative and she fell asleep. I felt so at peace, knowing that she would not even know what was going on because she was sleeping.”

“We love it here. We have 3 dogs, all small/medium sized, and all, shall I say, “special snowflakes”…Dr. Kennedy and his whole staff are knowledgeable, kind, patient, and very skilled at explaining things so anyone can understand. Their pricing is reasonable and I’ve never felt pressured or rushed.”

“I am so glad we found Pollock Pines Veterinary Hospital !! I cannot stress enough how welcome they made us feel from our initial phone conversations, throughout the visit and into our pet's aftercare. Our pet had a semi urgent issue and needed to be seen soon. A few other vets told us they were 30 days out for new clients and we should take our pet to urgent care down the hill. Pollock pines had a cancellation that day and told us to bring our pet right in. They were very thorough and even had great wellness plans available to make it affordable. So far we have had the pleasure of meeting Nicole, Jen, Evelyn, Allison and Dr Perkins and all of them are so wonderful! We will never go to another vet! Thank you so much! Bob and family”

“I would recommend them for their compassion and professionalism, but be aware of the fees.First off, all the staff were very compassionate as we had to put our little girl down. A Shitzu/Yorkie, she was only 9lbs by that day and 17.5 years old, but she had a great life. I am very grateful to them for that.However, I am not happy about the $60 exam fee I was charged (in addition to the $406 euthanasia/cremation charge). When I went to pick up her ashes, I tried to dispute the $60 fee (I was in no shape to do so the day we put her down), I was told the fee must stand.When I had called to ask if I could bring our girl in to be put down, they said yes, but they would have to do a "quality of life exam". I of course said, 'OK whatever you have to do".When we arrived, a tech asked why we thought she had to be put down and what had been going on the last few days and she took some notes. The Doc then came in and explained how the process would go. Before she was leaving the room, I asked "don't you have to do an exam?" She looked at me kinda funny and said she'd check her heart before and after applying the drugs. So no exam was done.Upon my dispute, I was told because they had not seen our little girl before, they reserved the right to say no to the euthanasia and that was what the $60 fee was for. Basically, an 'OK to euthanize fee'.This is crazy and not right by me. If an exam was needed/done - OK charge the fee. No exam - no fee in my book. This seems to me for $ only.”

“Dr. Smith got me in last minute at her Carmichael office for an emergency with my green cheek conure, who consumed something while out playing that made her ill and very lethargic. I was extremely worried and anxious and Dr. Smith and the clinic's receptionists handled everything really well, with so much kindness and patience. She went above and beyond with testing to make sure I was confident in the diagnosis and it was safe to bring her home. It was also extremely affordable - I have been to both Roseville Bird and Pet Clinic and the UC Davis veterinary school and paid literally triple for much less. I could not thank or recommend Dr. Smith enough.”
