    I brought my dog here for an overall physical exam as he was due for one, he was prescribed medication for his teeth and given the discharge paperwork and physical prescription as I wanted to purchase it elsewhere. So I ordered it off chewy and marked that I will mail in the prescription, yet for some reason chewy calls the VCA instead for verification but VCA informs Chewy Pharmacy there is no record of this. I informed Chewy I mailed in the physical prescription, and again they call the vet and informs them there is a prescription yet VCA still tells Chewy to not fulfill the order and that my dog needs to come in for another exam. Firstly why would I pay for another exam within the same year for the same concerns?? I have records and willing to provide to Chewy as well but they didn’t bother and cancelled the order. So now I don’t have the physical prescription and have to pay again get my dog to be seen again. Plain shady

    I took my rabbit to the so-called "Veterinary Centers of America Elk Grove Animal Hospital" and they turned me away instantly. They didn't even glance or look at my rabbit. I thought an animal hospital is suppose to help, make sure an animal is healthy and alive. However, this hospital shows that they DO NOT CARE about SMALL animals like rabbit. I called this hospital and Vista Animal Hospital, both declined my rabbit and I. They said "we do not look at rabbits." They sent me all the way to VCA Bradshaw and my 8-weeks old rabbit passed away on the way there on my lap. How can you call yourself an "animal hospital" if you can't help other animals besides cats and dogs? This hospital doesn't even deserve this one star.
