VCA Encina Veterinary Medical Center

Please, if you care about your dogs, find another Vet in the area. WE had a very bad experience with them....Negligence, not professional and 'only money industry' our dog, Maggie, was showing worrying signs so my son to her there, since it was the closest to our home. they did tests and X rays...everything needed, and sent her home with pain medications. few days after, she still didn't seem herself, so he took her again...and they didn't fine anything other then sending an estimate for Biopsy, and the bill....Nothing changed. So we took her to another Vet. in the area, one that people recommend. he did some tests, and after 4 hours, called to say - 'HUGE TUMOR IN HER LUNGS, NEED TO PUT ASLEEP ASAP' A day after she couldn't suffer anymore and almost died in my husband's hands, we took her immediately, and put her to rest. We honestly thinks, that VCA Encina put their business profits on top priority and the health of the dog second....! Please be aware, read reviews, listen to people before you choose your dog's doctor. Thank you for listening

Dr. Nurre literally saved my dog's life - not your run of the mill vet clinic. I brought my dog on what could have been his last days with fluid around the heart. The care of the staff and their efforts saved my dog. Very professional and attentive staff, and they took great care of my dog.

Dr. Nurre and Corrine have been a blessing. Our dog was critically ill but their attention to good communication and accessibility during very stressful stages of her illness, were very much appreciated. Gratefully, because of their thoroughness and follow through, our dog is on her way back to a healthier state.

THANK YOU VCA ENCINA DOCTORS AND STAFF FOR SAVING OUR BABY!!!!! Our 2-year-old lab, Roux, got sick the morning I left on a business trip to the East Coast. My husband texted me while I was on the plane to tell me she was not eating, which is NOT normal for her. My husband took her to our regular vet, Bollinger Canyon Animal Hospital, where they got her in right away and did x-rays and blood work. Thankfully, that was normal. They treated her and she went home. She still did not eat and was not feeling well the next day so he took her back to Bollinger Canyon. This time she had a fever and was acting very sick. Dr. Miller called VCA Encina to refer her for an ultrasound. They got her in right away. Dr. Wang called me in Maine to tell me that she had an infection in her abdomen and was septic. This was a Friday night and she needed emergency surgery and I was on the other side of the country. Dr. Koehler, the surgeon, left his family in Sacramento to come and operate on her. The anesthesia staff stayed late. They found an abscess in her liver and had to remove one of her liver lobes and clean her out. Because of their compassionate, caring heroics, she lived to see her third birthday. We cannot thank you enough for the amazing care we received. I will never forget the constant communication with me on the other coast when I was so worried. It was an incredibly stressful experience that you all made tolerable with your consistent care and compassion. We will be forever grateful to all of you!! Sandy and David Block and especially Roux

Thank you Jordan for your heroic efforts to rescue our dog Kai, and Emma & the VCA staff who help Kai feel safe & loved until we could pick him up! We are grateful for everything you did to help Kai and he is happy to be back at home.
