After attending VCA for over 10 years the last interaction with Cathy from care club as well as all the desk attendants and service has been awful. The last straw was that they refused to cancel my unwanted pet club membership after I was told point blank the day I signed up that after a year it would definitely not be auto charged after the year because they’d flag it. Well that never happened and I discovered I was still being charged . There also lied saying they sent an email and text to me saying it would renew and my records showed I received neither.
They were absolutely unwilling to refund any amount and did not care that they would lose my business. Waiting 5 weeks for an appointment is also pretty upsetting.

Don't go here for simple things like vaccines. They charge over 4 times what other clinics charge.

Amazing staff, they were all so kind and were so good with my sick cat who does not usually do well being examined. Dr Chan is a wonderful vet. She was so gentle with my cat. She took time to answer all my questions and go over options with me. The office and exam rooms are the cleanest I've ever seen at a vets office. I will recommend her to anyone I know who has pets. I am so grateful to have come here.
