Great place to take your dogs. The staff is kind and helpful and the doctors are great and informative. I had to get health certs for my digs to go to Thailand and they were knowledgeable about the steps and guided me the whole time. They also always answer any of my question and request same day. Overall professional and kind highly recommend.

On 12-21-2021, I had to have my beloved Ella put down. It was by far the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. Ella was 17 years old and was not only my emotional support, but I was hers. Ella was already in her senior years when I adopted her, and had been owner abandoned. I felt she deserved so much more and wanted to give her the best life possible for her remaining years. I know I did that for her, and in return, she made me the happiest pet owner ever. Knowing it was her time to go was the hardest decision I had to make. Ella layed on my chest, and as I was petting her, I said you’re ready to go aren’t you. I then called Paws and Claws Tracy. They were so compassionate through the entire process. I chose to be with Ella to the end, very tough, but they were there to comfort me before and after. I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through it without them. I had Ella cremated. When I got the call Ella’s ashes were ready to be picked up, again the compassion came through, even over the phone. When I did pick up my beloved Ella, she was brought out to me with loving care. Seeing I was still obviously upset, the gal kindly said they are still there for me and to drive safely. True compassion. Thank you Paws and Claws for not only taking care of my beloved Ella, but me, in our time of need. We were truly Blessed to have been in good hands.

Took my cat Sedrick cause his eye had been shut from a bacterial infection. This did a great diagnosis, mentioned it was from dust and debris he gets into & they offered a medicine that helped both his eyes out. Friendly vets and clinic. My boy was very scared but all the animals behaved well too great experience. Also the only place that let me make an appointment the same day, tried and called four places in Stockton! These are photos of my happy boy thank you Paws & Claws!!

I have a very old cat, 16 and has cancer, they have been very compassionate about how to help her keep a good quality of life. Update. MoCuishle has crossed the bridge. I will miss her. I can't say enough about the folks here at P&C.

OMG! This place is amazing, nor the pandemic, nor social distancing kept the doctor and from doing a fantastic job. The staff is over the top professional (with the exception of one grumpy lady that was rude to me) but other than that I had an exceptional experience! My dog Lady was very I'll when I took her in for an emergency visit and after two types of surgery they made her perfectly healthy again. After her last follow up visit her vet phone called twice to check up on her! They are so compassionate and loving! I love that we have found a permanent vet for our fur babies! Thank you Dr. April Ervin & staff!
