We had to say goodbye to our Chauncey. The staff took us in on emergency and made every accommodation. We are so grateful even though we didn't catch names hopefully they know who they are. Thank you so much. We are forever grateful. Elizabeth, William, and Erik Fausak

My comments are about the business side of the clinic. I cannot comment on the care side. I made a reservation for four nights of boarding for our dog and was quoted $36 a night. When I dropped our dog off I was informed she needed a larger crate and it would be $41 a night. She currently sleeps quite comfortably in a 2x4 foot crate but apparently she needs a 4x6 foot crate. In addition I provided the food in portioned meals in ziploc bags including a fish oil capsule with each meal.

While on the road I received a telephone call with the information that the capsules were considered medication and there would be an additional charge. Long story short our boarding bill went from $144 to $216 for four nights. Our hotel bill for that period was $285. I think we'll take the dog with us next time.

After going to two different animal hospitals, including the UC Davis small animal clinic, no one was able to figure out what was wrong with my dog who had been reverse sneezing/snorting consistently for two days straight. I called Woodland Veterinary Hospital and they were able to squeeze in an appointment for me the same day. After expressing my concerns to Dr. Leslie Holeman she suggested we do another oral examination (which had been previously done at the UC Davis emergency room) and a rhinoscopy.

She was able to find a 4inch blade of grass deep inside my dogs mouth which was the cause of her discomfort and reverse sneezing. I wish we would have saved ourselves some money and gone there first. The staff is very friendly and they genuinely have your pets best interest in mind. I definitely recommend Woodland Veterinary Hospital.

Love Woodland Veterinary Hospital. They fixed our "mouthy" Yorkie named Toby. Dr. Jill Mikovich saved his leg. He had a infection in his bone of the front leg because the plate and screws that the rescue had put in went bad on him. He had sores that were oozing fluid from the infection. She recommended that we get the metal out of that leg, which we did (even though I was a nervous wreck about it). Removing the plate and screws left him with a month of recovery which we and Dr. Jill (and all the staff at Woodland Vet) took very seriously.

They were very helpful getting his medicine combination right so that he wasn't in pain at all. 2 days ago Toby went back for xrays and blood work. The bone infection is all gone and the holes in the bone where the plate and screws were are filling in. Thank you Dr. Jill for being patient with Toby (even though he wanted to nip at you) and answering all of my questions every step of the way. For anyone reading this review.just call and make the appointment. You'll be glad you did.

I have taken my dog here twice and I have left unhappy both times. I feel this clinic is just a money grab and doesn't really care about the animals. At least the vet I have dealt with. They present well, but their procedures are lacking. Example: they send out a questionnaire for your animal then do not go through the concerns that you have raised in their own questionnaire.

The only place for your dog, cat, reptile, rodent pet, rabbit, etc. care. Great surgery and ICU care. Great boarding for animals with medical needs. Come in and speak to Dr. Rode and you will know the love and expert care your pet will receive. Thank you staff.
