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

Dr is friendly. Everyone is polite and helpful. A bit pricy.

A vet who actually cares about our pets and goes the extra mile to prove it. Great staff, too!

My 4 month old poodle was having trouble holding her bladder. I saw signs that she might be suffering from a UTI. Dr Perkins was out of town and I had an appointment for the next morning. When his plans changed and he came home earlier than expected, his office called and had me come in a day early. Testing proved my guess was right and he started her on antibiotics. By the next day I could tell she was already feeling better. What struck me that afternoon at his office is that several of his patients that were considered in need of his immediate care were also called in. He could have left his schedule the way it was and we could have gone to an emergency vet or make our pets wait until the next day. But he didn't. That's dedication. He had spent his day traveling and then came into his office to care for our pets. I am truly grateful and if my baby girl understood, she would be too.

We have a small 6 1/2 pound Chihuahua 11 years old. Our lives pretty much revolve around him, as I’ve told Dr. Perkins there’s not much we wouldn’t do for this dog. After an extensive blood panel we found out that he has pancreatitis on top of a heart murmur. We see a cardiologist in Sacramento every six months who has told us not to let him lose any more weight. Dr. Perkins put him on a low fat, veterinary gastrointestinal diet for life. The food really helped his pancreatitis and with a follow up blood test found his numbers to be back to normal per Dr. Perkins. Having to keep the weight on him, we have tried to find out which food he seems to like the most within the low fat, veterinary, gastrointestinal dog food choices. There aren’t a lot of flavors or brands for this type of food. I would order it on Chewy and each time I had to get authorization from Dr. Perkins office. It got to be very challenging. Sometimes 10 days would go by and we could not get verification for the dog food. Dr. Perkins put our dog on that diet, so I went in to talk to the receptionist at Pollock Pines vet and she checked with Dr. Perkins. He would only authorize the one brand with only two flavors, one of which our pet didn’t particularly care for, so he has started losing weight, which the cardiologist didn’t want to happen. However, Dr. Perkins didn’t seem to care about much other than me buying the dog food from him. I spoke with two other vets and they don’t understand where he’s coming from.Unfortunately, I will have to move on to a vet that will take into consideration all his medical issues as well as our concerns. I’m sure Dr. Perkins would be fine for normal office visits, but my major problem is that I really need somebody that will work with me and not be focused on selling his in-house dog food.BTW there are 11 brands and flavors. Dr Perkins only sales 2 and he only wants you to buy his brand.Kirt Bell

Dr. Perkins and his staff are the most wonderful people and I feel so fortunate that i have them for my pet's needs. Dr. Perkins is the best vet I've ever gone to. He's thorough while also being very comforting about concerns I have about my pet. He's very good at reassuring you you and doesn't make a big deal out of things that don't need to be worried about. He's always given top notch care. My dog has had his teeth cleaned a few times here and he has also had two surgeries done that went beautifully with no issues. I will take my babies here for as long as I am able to.

Dr. Perkins has been my vet for over 20 years. I live in Placerville now but I still drive up to Pollock Pines because I trust him so much.
