I have been taking my dogs to VCA Carmichael for 5 years. The only Vet I see is Dr. Cathy Grinstead. She is the only one who seems like they know anything there and the only reason I go there. She is very caring and friendly. \r
I agree with the other reviewers that the fees are VERY HIGH. \r
I have also gone into rooms that aren't cleaned btn animals(i've seen fleas). I am very sensitive to this because I am allergic to fleas, cat dander, and long dog hair. (I have a bichon now and had 2 poodles before-non-allergic dogs.) \r
I also agree they upsell and when my 15 yr old poodle was dying, they gave me barbituits for him. It would have been devistating but, for the comfort of the dog they should have euthanized the poor boy. I believed he suffered for 2 weeks before he passed away. That hurts me more. Even though I have adopted a wonderfull dog and I am so happy, that crosses my mind and upsets me when I think about my old beloved boy. \r
Also this vet is listed as a boarding hosp, they DO NOT BOARD!\r
