Orangevale Veterinary Hospital

In shipping frozen semen I was told it was tested before shipping when it was not. Dr. Metzler shipped two vials of dead sperm across the country costing several people a great deal of money and heart break. After that she still allowed me to bring another bitch to be implanted with the sperm she had never tested. When thawed it was all dead. At least this bitch was not sedated and lying on the table. She repeatedly told me she thawed and tested a straw when she had not. She confessed to my vet. after the fact. Dishonest and/or incompetent - both! Pros: Non - would give negative stars if possible! Cons: Was not honest in her actions more

We had a bitch in season, stud dog picked out and intended to do fresh chilled semen but the horrendous storms in the North interfered - couldn't get the dog to the vet. So we luckily were able to get frozen semen shipped to Dr. Metzler and she was perfect as were her results. Extra stars to her staff as well! Pros: She's quite simply the best! Cons: A bit of a drive for us old folks. more

We have used them for our repro vet and they did a phenomenal job. We did frozen AI from a hall of fame dog and they have the same success rate as live cover. They came in on the weekend while closed to not only do the procedure, as that was the timing, but also the dews and tail docs. We live near UC Davis, but this repro vet has a better reputation and our successes with them, as well as others in the region proves that out. They are much more cost effective, probably because their location is between a couple industrial buildings and not in shopping mall, but make no mistake - the care the dogs receive is top notch. Apparently you might want to file your shot records though... Pros: Top Repro Vet in Sac Valley Cons: Location more
