    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 recently moved to the Elk Grove area and in March brought home a 2 1/2 week old Pit Bull puppy....needless to say 6mos. later she's turned out to be my 3rd child...her sister, my other 2 yr. old Pit Bull / Choc. Lab mix and my 23 yr. old son... Anyway a friend suggested I bring her to VCA Elk Grove Animal Hospital. Her 1st appt. at 4 weeks was with Dr. Van Riper...The Dr. took the time to sit in the room with us and held, played and got to know my new puppy...I was very impressed with Dr. Van Riper bedside manner...A couple of weeks ago it was time to bring my puppy in to be spayed...I was very worried about this whole matter but the staff and doctor reassured me that it was the right time and she was in good hands....the spaying went fine...and she's back to her old self...minus a few lady parts....I appreciated the extra time they took to answer my questions and to explain things to me...
