If I could rate less then one star I would This place treated my precious cat named Magnolia for Pyometra, I was charged $332 for the “so called” treatment. I was sent home with medication to inject in her and I was told that the infection would clear up & to make a follow up appointment in a couple weeks. I did just that, during the follow up appointment not only was I charged additionally for that appointment, I was also told she was healthy and good to go. (Please note: during the follow up visit with Sierra animal wellness center, not only was I told magnolia was healthy, but I could also breed her before her next heat and then I would have to get her spayed, so the infection doesn’t happen again) 2 weeks later, magnolia is acting sleepy & not eating much, something told me to get her to a different veterinarian as soon as possible. so I decided to take her to “Mother Lode veterinarian hospital” in grass valley the next day. I had to make an emergency surgery appointment because magnolia almost died because the infection did not clear up, so not only was I charged from Sierra animal wellness for something that was not diagnosed/treated properly because she never had an ultrasound from her original diagnosis, I also had to pay double the price because of the emergency surgery at another vet. If I didn’t listen to my gut feeling and take her to Mother Lode Vet, my cat would’ve died within weeks. Completely ridiculous!!!! “Holistic” approach? Yea right!! Thank God for mother lode veterinarian hospital in grass valley. They are amazing.!!! 100% blessed my precious Magnolia is alive today.

I cannot recommend this vet office enough. My chihuahua is not the easiest of patients, and these guys handled him so well! They're extremely patient, and did such a great job. Also their pricing is very reasonable compared to any other vet I've been to.

I came here looking for a holistic approach for my dog's medical needs... I'm very excited with the possibility of a better care without damaging side effects from pharmaceutical treatments. I also wanted to make sure his non-dog food diet was giving him the proper nutrition he needed. I loved that my big boy and his high energy didn't scare anyone away. They were all great with him! Plus love them office kitties.💖

Dr. Peggy Roberts and her office team take care of my three dogs wonderfully. From teeth cleanings, wellness checkups, supplements and medications, and even nail trimming, it's all here. I recommend her highly.

Mask Nazis To your response! No one asked us to put on a mask when we got there. Nor did the receptionist inform me that was a requirement when I was making the appointment. Also the receptionist told us to be there by 9am. Only when my husband and I was asked to go into a room was it told to us that we needed to wear one. At that time I told her very clearly we do NOT wear masks! Then after 10 minutes of waiting she came back and said the Dr. Will not see you if you don't wear a mask. We said that's fine we will go. She said then go!!! I didn't rip the cone out of her hand I took it firmly. And I didn't slam the door I left it open and she shut the door. Get your fasts straight. What is your Doctor doing now for her safety as the mask mandate is OVER!!!
