Dr. Andrew Beckman and his student were professional, caring, and compassionate. We left Harley, our very nervous dog, in their care for a TPLO surgery and they called us to check in regularly and I feel that they did their best to make him as comfortable as they could during his stay. The faculty is clean, easy to access, and has two large waiting rooms, the of which has a sandwich vending machine, coffee machine, and regular snack machine. There are ports everywhere for charging devices as well. Everyone was kind, the check in/out process was streamlined as well. Customer portal allows us to ask questions when needed. So glad we were able to get Harley in here. Thank you!

I'm incredibly grateful to the team at the UC Davis Small Animal Clinic for the care they have provided to my dog Louie. Special shoutout to Dr. Culp and Dr. Reynolds, as well as all of the technicians who helped care for him while he was admitted recently. The team here works incredibly hard and deserve recognition for the expertise, kindness, and attention to detail they provide.

My puppy Riley had a birth defect called a PDA where his oxygenated blood was mixing with his unoxgenated blood. The rescue had him examined at SAGE which quoted 10-15K for his surgery. Several people suggested I check out Davis. After the first intake exam they was quoted 7-10K. Also when I told them I wasn’t currently working they mentioned they have an angel fund! The gave me the paperwork and walked it upstairs, and I got approval for 3K of angel fund money. At that point I didn’t think he would have a better option. Ultimately it cost about 5K with was 1\2 of SAGE’s lowest price. In addition his care was excellent! The surgery went smoothly and tomorrow I am taking him in for his final follow up exam. I recommend them highly!

My experience with UC Davis Veterinary Hospital has been nothing short of incredible. During one of the most traumatic moments of my life, the attending staff, physicians, and surgeons provided life-saving care, comfort, and clarity for my severely injured dog. Gemma, my dachshund, was horribly injured in a domestic violence situation, and the team at UC Davis was not only compassionate but incredibly thorough. They ruled out paralysis after a detailed analysis—an overwhelming moment of relief—and handled her with such tenderness and skill. She required surgery for a trochanter break, which was performed smoothly and with precision. The level of knowledge and communication from the physicians was unmatched. They took time to explain everything in a way that made sense and truly reassured me through a terrifying situation. Beyond the medical care, they also ensured proper reports were submitted to the authorities, taking the matter seriously as the criminal case it was. We’re now three weeks post-op, and Gemma is doing well. We’re staying hopeful for her 8-week X-ray clearance. I am endlessly grateful for their expertise, compassion, and passion for animals. If you’re ever facing a crisis with your pet, please don’t hesitate—this is the team you want by your side.

UC Davis is simply the best. They have been instrumental in caring for my dog when she was diagnosed with a cardiac issue in May. They got me in the day I called for an emergency cardio appointment. Over the next several weeks we came back several more times to get a proper diagnosis for my chihuahua Bella. They discovered she needed a pacemaker and she had one place last month. I cannot thank them enough for how kind and caring they have been during this truly scary and awful time in mine and Bella's life. I could not recommend them enough!
