Took my newly adopted kitten here a while back and ordered an FeLV test and full wellness check + vaccines upon recommendation of the Yolo County SPCA. Paid for the FeLV test but the Vet assistant at the time refused to do the check due to him having received his initial test at the shelter saying he's fine. My cat has never come into contact with any other animals and was raised indoors. Had to take him to the ER today and the ER asked if he's ever been tested for FeLV or received the vaccine.

He died to FeLV or leukemia a few days later. Animal Wellness Center refused to release his medical records to the ER and created excuses claiming a privacy reason as to why they could not share documents.

Called for acupuncture, which my dog has been receiving elsewhere, but they can't offer a service he's already been receiving without first going to a $160 consultation.

Dr. Kris Dailey is a well learned; well informed, and articulate doctor; who scores a solid zero on my quackery meter. Not only does Dr. Kris Dailey exude seriousness and professionalism; she is able to express pertinent information in a well controlled and timely manner; for which a layman such as myself can fully comprehend. I believe that I will make regular appointments at the Animal Wellness Center just so I can hear her speak.

It felt to me like she was trying harder to save me money being forthright; than she was trying to set me up for another appointment. I don't know if that is because Covid has got every Veterinarian swamped; or her integrity is just that sound. I would give my visit 5 stars if I gave 5 stars; but they would have had to of done something really special; like reimbursed me for my gas to and from Sacramento; or given me a 50% off coupon for our next visit. Thank You; David A. de Broekert

Absolutely amazing 10/10 experience! We've seen several different vets in the last 6 months and this was our best experience yet (& it also happened to be way more affordable! Such good value for the low price). The staff & veterinarian were so wonderful to us and our pup-- so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Our dog currently has a UTI & has been having other bladder issues and they were able to schedule us in even when they were busy. I wish we discovered this place sooner!
