Animal Hospitals near Calistoga

“I moved to Calistoga in January of this year and needed a veterinarian for my two dogs. One is a small fifteen year old rescue Chihuahua who is almost fifteen with congestive heart failure, arthritis, seizures, and teeth issues. The care she was receiving previously in another state was less than adequate. I thought I was going to lose her several times and I was praying we would find a better vet who could help stabilize her. Calistoga Pet Clinic was the answer to my prayers. Typically my experience with veterinarians is that you either get a good vet, or good office and support staff like techs, receptionists, etc. In all the years I’ve had my dog, I’ve never found a practice with both until now. Dr. Franquelin immediately diagnosed both my dogs with new conditions other vets had never found, with a plan to address them. My dog’s condition has improved tremendously since my dog has been in his care, to the point that I’m shocked this is the same dog from a year ago. She acts like she’s three again. Dr. Franquelin is a fantastic vet, and he is never condescending when he explains conditions and treatments to those of us without a medical background, which I appreciate. Every single one of the staff I’ve interacted with has been amazing. Special shout out to Kayla who has gone above and beyond to help with all my pet’s Trupanion insurance, which is especially important to me because care for an elderly, sick dog is incredibly expensive. They are truly just the most amazing practice across the board and you will not be disappointed with their care. I am eternally grateful to have found them.“

“I just switched vet's and brought one of my cats here. Deborah (sp?) is wonderful, and I'm really glad we came here!“

“Everyone here is professional, kind and calm. I have seen several vets and vet techs over the years and I have liked all of them. Sometimes there is a wait time that seems a little too long, but take a breath and be happy you have a good vet to look after your pet.“

“Dr. Gold and his team are outstanding. Very professional, polite and honest. Dr. Gold genuinely cares about his patients and it shows. He is straightforward and does not push unnecessary products or procedures.“
