How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Auburn Pet Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Dr. Mackinnon is the most caring vet we have ever had. We live in Grass Valley and drive to Auburn so she can be our pet's Dr. No upselling either. We love the office people too. We had to send our Kylee to Heaven last Friday, they were all so loving with us❤️

Wonderful experience for both of us! We had another vet in town and it was not fun at all, these wonderful people took my Waylon in & got him all up to date on his shots & cleaned his adorable ears. Would absolutely recommend! 🖤🐾

Moved back to CA recently due to a military move and needed to establish care; our Corgi needed the annual rabies that came due during the process of moving cross country. Spoke with a tech to get information on establishing care, I was told an appointment couldn't be scheduled for the vaccine until records were received and the records needed to be sent in, I couldn't just bring them with me to the appointment, no problem. Patient charts were scanned and emailed in by end of week and then I waited a week before calling in to make sure they received them; we have 5 animals so I allowed a reasonable amount of time to get them into the system. In our conversation, I again indicated the need to schedule an appointment for our Corgi, who was past due on rabies and now coming due on DAPPv. I was told they should get to mine by end of week so an appointment could be scheduled. I still have not received any further communication, now going on 3 weeks from that last call. I called another vet and got an appointment same day, we are all current on our shots, and all 5 pets have established care due to the excellent customer service and business practices of North Fork Vet. I will not be recommending Auburn Pet Clinic to anyone, and I have shared my experience with family and friends who currently use Auburn Pet Clinic to consider other options.

Moved back to California in November and had to find a vet for my Rat Terrier Oreo. The staff was very nice and vet was great with my Oreo. She got down on the floor with him and he seemed to like that and felt very comfortable with her. I am very pleased with my choice for a vet.

Friendly staff. They made a special effort to get my pet in sooner. I wish a vet or a technician had spoken to me after my pets visit and given me some details about his dental visit, but they did answer my questions when they called for a follow up check. Prices were lower than my previous vet. I'd have given 5 stars if I'd been given a short report, maybe a photo, when I picked my pet up. I understand why they didn't, the place was very busy, standing room only, but I'll ask for it next time before I leave.
