VCA Elk Grove Animal Hospital 8640 Elk Grove Boulevard, Elk Grove, CA 95624

"I do not recommend this VCA. I signed up for the payment plan for my puppy that covers all her shots, fecal samples, and wellness checks. After my dogs first couple of visits for her vaccines, I noticed a change in her behavior when we would walk up the building. Now after all her shots are done, she is absolutely terrified to walk through the front door. I’m not sure how they treated her when she was getting vaccinated but her behavior has changed a lot. I can’t get out of the payment plan contract either so I am forced to continue to take her back to this place. Additionally, I made an appointment more recently for a wellness check and I drove 30 minutes to find out the lady never scheduled it in the system so I was turned away. After my yearly contract is up, I will not be returning to this VCA."

"We have been going here for for several years with 2 dogs but the last time that we took our 2 years old shepherd in for a hurt paw the vet said that she wouldn't touch it even though he had a mussel on, other than that one vet they are excellent"

"We first went to Elk Grove VCA because our senior cat, Charlie, needed an urgent visit, and our regular vet couldn’t fit him in. They quickly became his primary vet, even when we moved from The Pocket to East Sac, and the drive time doubled. They are incredibly professional, courteous, and compassionate. Dr. Van Riper is, far and away, the best vet I’ve ever encountered. Truly a superstar. When Charlie was diagnosed with diabetes and needed even more attentive care, they stepped it up and continued to be there for us, often at the drop of a hat. Two nights ago, he took a turn for the worst, and we decided it was time. While the process of putting him down was awful, the staff was kind, considerate, and made the process so much less painful. He left this world peacefully, and we are so grateful for that."

"I have known Dr. Van Riper and Dr. Armstrong since 1985 and would never take these two beautiful pups to anyone else. Yes, at times it's a little costly but I know that value of good vets and medicine. I have had a few pets die and they were there to help me through the process. I truly am appreciative for their commitment to my pets."
