Once Luke’s back to feeling 💯better, Luke will be back to doing his canine social therapy work at the skilled nursing facility and rehabilitation center.

We take both of our dogs (Chelsea and Tahoe) here for vet services. And they are absolutely amazing. The staff is incredible. Friendly, thourough, understanding and supportive. I am low income and they understand this. They do not push me for ANYTHING. If there are service they recommend, we go through them and see which ones are 100% necessary and help me reschedule the others so that im not spending money that I can't afford at that time. I was just there with my great dane (Tahoe) yesterday, and he was super nervous. And they handled him so perfectly. Even though he was super gassy and stinking up their office. LOL. We have a check up in 2 weeks, but his condition is already showing improvement with his antibiotics and the vet recommendations. I will NEVER take my dogs anywhere else, The only place they go to differently is for their vaccines due to cost. I take them to a vaccination clinic for those. We love Vetco in Folsom. The staff there make all the difference! Even my dogs love them all :-)

Both Veterinary Technician, Kaitlyn, and Dr. Michie provided excellent care for my 4 year old Pomeranian who came down with a bacterial infection. I could tell they are true animal-lovers with a gentle nature and I love their non-pushy, explanatory approach to pet care. I was so relieved to leave the appointment with a test run in-house and another sent the the lab, and a course of antibiotics and pain reliever to take home immediately. They really are full-service and the pricing is excellent compared to private practice vets. Whatever Kaitlyn is being paid is not enough, she is so lovely and informative!

My cheweenie was having issues with diarrhea that I have never experienced before, he seemed to be improving but then relapsed so I really needed to get him seen by a vet. The vet yech, Terra, at Folsom Petco Vet Hospital location is excellent. She has a great bedside manner not just for my pet but for me as well. She explains pricing options without some heavy sales pitch and understands folks having a budget. The two vets I spoke with, Drs. Michie and Youngblood, were also so helpful and educated me on some best pet parent practices on diet, etc. They called me on Saturday with his fecal and blood results, so grateful for the great communication and letting me ask so many questions. Extremely thankful for this group of individuals. They work as a seamless team. Happy to report my Brodie is doing souch better now. 💜

Dr. youngblood is amazing and my dogs love her and she’s so compassionate and explains everything in a way that you understand. We were able to get in for a second appointment and the staff were amazing and our little guys doing much better but still has some issues going on he’s on the mend hopefully 9/16/2025 Update yay my baby is on the mend Again another great review for Dr Youngblood. She was spot on with diagnosis and following him closely! Did I mention she even text me to check on him! How great is that for patient care ❤️ 12/6 Another update little man’s been diagnosed with some kind of cancer. Osteosarcomas, Dr. Youngblood thinks They just don’t know yet going to SVA in Sacramento to get a CT scan next week to see if radiation will work for him.
