• Lilly's

  -Carol Anderson from Rancho Cordova, CA
  Pet Name: Lilly

  Our dog Lilly the Boxer was being seen at our regular veterinarian for routine vaccinations. The Doctor always listens to her chest as part of her routine visits. Lilly had been a little more tired lately, but still acted like her crazy Boxer-self at times. Turns out, the Doctor heard something terribly wrong with her heart rate and rhythm. She suggested taking her to a cardiologist right away. Having worked in the veterinary field for 25 years, VCA SVRC was the first place I thought to take her. After arriving at VCA SVRC, they did a triage and decided that Lilly was in trouble and needed some very quick tests and treatment. It seems her heart was beating at a very fast rate with arrhythmia. After the much needed diagnostics, Dr. MacKie put her on meds that have really improved her rate and rhythm. She still sees Dr. MacKie every 3 months to make sure that things are still under control with her meds, but she is doing great! Thanks to the great work of Dr. MacKie and staff, my Lilly is still her loveable, goofy, Boxer-self!

  Thank You Very Much

  -Doug and Sara from Citrus Heights, CA
  Pet Name: Gus

  We took our Mastiff, Daisy, to VCA when she had difficulty standing and would not eat or drink. She spent several days-nights in ICU before we made the heart-wrenching decision to let her go. Doctors Runyan and Moore were not only very competent vets that kept Daisy's quality of life as the top priority , but compassionate people who gently guided us into making the difficult decision to end her suffering. And the staff at VCA was, bar none, the very best. Everyone we had contact with, without exception, was kind, courteous, and clearly loved animals. We feel very lucky to have them here for us and our pets and have no hesitation to highly recommend VCA to any pet owner seeking medical help for their beloved pet. They are simply the best and you will not be disappointed in the quality of service both to your pet and to you. First class operation all the way.

  Thank You

  -Michelle L. from Rancho Cordova, CA
  Pet Name: Tanner

  On September 6, 2010 (Labor Day) our family brought our dog Tanner to your facility, he was an Australian Shepherd/Yellow Lab mix, and he was in respiratory distress. We had taken him for a walk at the American River Parkway, while there he began having difficulty breathing. Nothing we did helped; we carried him back to the car. Upon calling our Vet, Folsom Veterinary Hospital, we were referred to your facility.
  
  We scooped up Tanner and drove to your facility. When we arrived, your staff was waiting, and took him immediately. We were shown to a room while we completed papers. Shortly, Dr. Wong came in and unfortunately gave us the bad news, Tanner had been deprived of oxygen for too long, and his temperature was 110. The trauma and shock of the last hour or so, was profound. Dr. Wong's professionalism, knowledge and compassion was outstanding, at no time did he overlook the emotional impact this was having on us. He guided us though this horrible experience with grace, answering any question we had. We were so fortunate to have Dr Wong assigned to Tanner.
  
  We want to thank (but somehow that seems inadequate) Dr. Wong. His kindness, compassion and caring, left us appreciative that we were directed to your facility. And we felt confident that the tragic outcome was the only merciful choice to be made for our beloved pet.
  
  We also want to thank the staff as well. They were outstanding in the care both Tanner and our family received. And I apologize for not knowing the name of the lady at the front desk who came in to handle the paperwork, it wasn'™t easy for her to handle her job and a grieving family, but she was the best. With heartfelt thanks for all that everyone provided to us, we would never hesitate using your facility in the future and would be happy to refer others who may be in need.
  
  With deep gratitude
  
  The Lockner Family

  My beloved Pirate

  -Marsha Black from Folsom, CA
  Pet Name: Pirate

  Recently, my cat, Pirate, was hospitalized with a urinary obstruction. Dr. Arnold kept in touch with me, updating me as we went along so I would know how my precious boy was doing. Unfortunately, Pirate was too sick to face surgery and I had to let him go. Dr. Arnold was so kind and supportive and she truly made it much easier for me. Thank you, Dr. Arnold and staff.
