VCA Valley Oak Veterinary Center

Had to bring my cat in for an emergency checkup and found out it was a blockage in his urinary tract. They got us in and diagnosed him within 15 minutes. He had to be hospitalized for 6 days and they did everything to make sure he came home to us. Very grateful for this amazing and compassionate team that worked with us to get the job done! Very good communication and care! Goose is definitely feeling much better! 🧡 definitely recommend pet care from the VCA team!

Thank you for giving my dog Buddy peace. I’ve never had to be in the room with my own animal during a euthanasia process. It was incredibly difficult, but the amount of care and warmth your staff gave him means everything to me.

This pet hospital is the best one I have been to. We had a very big issue with one of our pit bulls and no other vet or pet hospital was willing to help us do to his breed. They have helped my dog twice with both pretty big issues and my dog has came back to me 100 percent taken care of and back to normal. My dogs are like my kids and they definitely treated him the same.

I brought my dog in for a bite wound from another dog. He had to have emergency surgery. Unfortunately the wound became unseized and was infected. I had a rough experience at first when I brought him in to be rechecked. I contacted the office manager and she quickly called me back and remedied the situation. She was also very understanding and compassionate, as was the vet that came in to examine him. He explained things thoroughly and seemed very compassionate.

I unfortunately have had to visit twice this month when my primary was closed and have a colleagues dogs brought in for anaphylaxis. The first was on Easter. The dog was treated well and they were wonderful to work with. On Wednesday of last week a team mate from Yuba Co Search & Rescues dog was stung while at k9 training in Paradise and experienced anaphylaxis they carefully and diligently treated the dog and cared for her airway. Then there is today the out come was not as positive but I knew was inevitable. Today, I got a call from our autistic adult son that one of our personal dogs wasn't breathing well. Knowing the genetics of the dog I had a strong feeling she was not going to be coming home. I was still an hour from the house, I told my son to take her to VCA and I would call to let them know. I called them immediately giving them her stats and letting them know my son had autism and might not be able to give information as well as he might be frightened. They took care of the dog and let me know he was upset. When I arrived I sent him home. The doctor and I agreed that the prognosis for our dog was poor and it was best to ease her suffering. They were every compassionate considering the nature of their job. Although they are not my primary practitioner I feel confident not just taking my own dogs to them but also my client dogs for care in the event of an emergency. We are lucky to have them as an after hours option in our community. Thank you for caring for Hendrix and my son till I got there. I am forever grateful for you guys.
