I would recommend Vaca Valley Veterinary Hospital to anyone who values the life of their pet. The building is older and small but when you think about it, does your pet really care? The prices are good at Vaca Valley but more importantly Dr. Jassar knows what he's doing. Every single employee at Vaca Valley had a genuine concern for the well being of our dog. Here's my very recent story: Back in August I brought our 18 month old dog to Oak Animal Hospital because she wouldn't stop throwing up. After being shuffled between two different vets they diagnosed her with pancreatitis. The prices were ridiculous but our dog recovered nicely so it was tuff for me to complain too much. A couple of weeks ago the symptoms returned. I took her back to Oak. A different vet saw her this time and diagnosed her with a relapse of pancreatitis. A few days later she was not getting better so we took her back in to Oak and saw yet another (yes that's four) vet. She read the chart of the previous three vets diagnosis and just continued the treatment for pancreatitis. After this point I was fed up with not seeing the same vet twice, not getting the level of care I felt our puppy deserved, and paying through the nose for treatment that wasn't working. So I took her to Vaca Valley. Dr. Jassar personally observed her for two days and decided that the pancreatitis had to be a secondary problem and that there was most likely a more serious cause to her throwing up. He decided to do surgery and I'm glad he did. He found two obstructions in her stomach and small intestine. He removed them and she's on the road to a full recovery. I went to Vaca Valley just in the nick of time. If I had stayed at Oak I'm confident our dog would not be alive right now. If you are choosing a veterinary hospital and want an affordable price, a genuinely caring and compassionate staff, and a well qualified veterinarian, then choose Vaca Valley Veterinary Hospital. Your pet will thank you.
