VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center

We have gone to VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center several times over the last 1.5 years. To say that I am very happy with our experiences is an understatement. Their cardiology and emergency oncology departments are amazing. They are currently treating one of our kitties for heart failure. Last year they treated another one of our kitties for cancer. Our kitty with cancer did pass away last year (it was a rare and aggressive type cancer). VCA were so thorough with her treatment and knowledgeable, they explained everything and all options with us. When she passed we were at peace that she was given the best care and treatment. Based on the amazing care given passed and currently, their thorough treatment, and knowledge, I trust them more than any other emergency veterinary hospital. They are an emergency veterinary hospital, so the times that our cats went initially were on an emergency bases. But we stayed with them for the continued treatment in oncology and cardiology. We do have a regular vet (it is always important to have a regular vet). But, for emergency services and specialty treatment (cancer/heart failure) we go straight first to VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center every time. Thank you for the amazing care given in the past and currently.

I had to bring my dog in on a Saturday night due to a fight with a resident dog. The staff was amazing and very informative from the moment I got there to the moment I left. Dr. O’Connor was the vet that worked on my dog. The updates she provided were very detailed and she very gently provided me with options for my dog’s care. I hope I never have to take my dog to another emergency room, but if that day does come, this place will be my first call!

We had an emergency visit as our elderly mini schnauzer was having a bad long seizure. We called ahead and when we arrived they were quick to take him back and try to relieve his convulsions. The staff was gentle and kind and loving in our time of need. The doctor was so passionate and sweet. She helped us send over our beloved pup over the rainbow bridge. There was no rush, gave us ample time with him, and made sure he wasn’t in pain in his final moments. When it’s your fur babies time to go, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. We had actually had his appointment scheduled for the next day but his body just couldn’t hold on any longer. Doctor Nicole Rafael was a saint. Thank you for your dedication and love towards animals, it made us feel so seen and cared for, even on a busy July 4th day. We will always remember your kindness
