Dixon Veterinary Clinic

My cat had a huge mass growing out of his hind leg and it was erupting and bleeding at times. It needed to be removed and biopsied ASAP. I live in the SF bay area and was unable to get into a vet's office in my area in a reasonable time. The 2020 SIP (shelter in place ordinance) and the amount of people that had adopted animals during that time and had not had their animals seen by a vet that entire year, caused a huge backlog and getting a timely appointment in the Bay Area to get into see a Vet was impossible. After the COVID vaccination started the roll out, people where taking their pets to the vet in masses. So I found a vet in my parent's little town and I was able to get an appointment and scheduled a surgery ASAP at the Dixon Vet clinic. He did a great job. I docked the clinic 1 star because I was not instructed or given a cone for my cat to wear post op. I had to figure that out on my own when he was excessively licking the area. Additionally, the pain meds they gave my cat is generally well accepted by cats and they didn't tell me that. They are like treats. I had to struggle for him to take them until I Googled the best way to get him to take the meds and I found that out. After that, I would just give him the pill in his food without having to traumatize him by forcing it down his throat. That said, my cat came out of it just fine and compared to SF Bay area prices this procedure was reasonable. Still pricey but not exorbitant. Thank you for saving my fur ball. Here are some before surgery and after after surgery pics. Good news, the biopsy came back as not malignant! He's a healthy and spry 10+ year old. I also want to add that the clinic is COVID safe. They come out to your car and get your pet. Then call you up to the examine room window where you will be able to interact with the vet from the outside though a screened window as he evaluates your animal.

My pet was admitted to a vet hospital after this establishment said he was just getting old. He has a 106° fever and a prostate AND urinary track infection . I highly recommend you don't take your pet here Discussed by the lack of care

This was only place that accepted new pets when the pandemic started, German Shepard needed her rabies shot at end of April, other places that would do it wanted 300 just for first visit plus shot cost. He charged under 100 for two shots. Now her and my cat have a good vet. Looking into health care for pet.
