Twice I came home from being away to find serious issues with my cats. One had an eye swollen shut and the other hadn’t eaten for a few days. UC Davis small animal clinic emergency agreed to see them immediately in each case. The first one had a foxtail embedded in her eye that was removed immediately and given antibiotics. If no action had been taken, she probably would have lost her eye. Second cat had blood work and X-rays done. She had healthy vitals but apparently had swallowed a foreign body that was lodged in her intestines. Dr did immediate surgery and removed it. Easy Peasy. Four months later she is a happy, healthy kitty! In both cases, the Doctors kept me posted . I am so very grateful for the wonderful care my cats received at UC Davis Veterinary Hospital

Great doctors. All care, all animals. Arya had TWO foxtails, deep, up her nose. Very friendly and professional staff. Clean and well appointed as one would expect from UCD. $500.

We went to two vets on SAT/SUN that couldn't assist until Monday; UC Davis immediately tended to our dog and underwent IVDD surgery that evening, perhaps saving his walking ability - not to mention for about 30% less. We also paid nearly $2k to the other vets for nothing, not even an overnight stay. The student that works at UC Davis and assisted us, Celeste, was incredibly kind and helpful, calling us twice a day during our dog's stay at the hospital (9 days). Dr. Samiento also called a couple of times with updates, and addressed our concerns with detailed answers. It was so wonderful when they called after a few days to hear them say that our doggie felt sensation in his hind legs; he has only improved since. The neurosurgeon who performed the surgery, Dr. Dupanlop, did a wonderful job, especially considering that our puppy was at IVDD Stage 5. From the moment we called, nothing but good vibes from this place. The staff immediately tended to any request and was very helpful. Our dog means the world to us and they acted like they knew that.

Super stars! Caring and loving to our baby (dog) who has gone blind. Dr Storey - opthamology- is awesome! We hope to do surgery for our mini schnauzers cataracts, but he did a full work up and now we have help with his diabetes as well.

I went here last night with m ailing senior cat and the staff were quick and were so kind when I had to let him go. They were top notch and most importantly, compassionate. They made a painful experience bearable. I thank them for taking such great care of my sweet boy until the end.
