Veterinarians near Colfax

“Dr. Roberts is professional, kind and very experienced. We acquired our awesome little boy Corgi from her in 2022. Felix had an issue that, considering Dr. Roberts history with him, we decided the drive from Reno was worth it. Very reasonably priced. Quck diagnosis and medicine prescribed.“

“Michaela is amazing. Compassionate, professional and genuinely loves her fur patients. Highly recommend.“

“Dr. Sherriff and his staff are kind and knowledgeable! I know they are helping me make the best decisions to keep our animals healthy.“

“We were on vacation in Grass Valley and our dog got so sick we couldn't even travel home with him. From start to finish dealing with this office put us at ease and made a very difficult situation bearable! They were kind and professional and we would highly recommend them!“

“Sadly our beloved dog needed to be put down and Dr. Brian Rios-Mendez and the vet techs were extraordinarily kind and compassionate and accommodated our needs with such care. They helped make an awful experience as gentle as can be. We are forever grateful.“

“The first day moving to Grass Valley, our big dog was stressed from moving and got so worked up that her throat started closing. They took care of her immediately and had her back to rights and happy. This was during covid, and they weren't taking new patients and were short staffed, and still made time for us. They had to slightly sedate her and keep her at their feet while doing surgery to keep an eye on her.
We've used them ever since and trust their every decision! Our pets are happy and healthy thanks to Best friends!“

“This place is clean and the staff is efficient and professional. The doctors are young and not ready to retire. I feel my dogs are in good hands here. They are super busy so I make an appointment way ahead of time. But they do have urgent care appointment availability if needed.“

“We rescued a purebred 7-year-old dog from a shelter in Oregon last July that came with hidden health problems including heartworms, inflamed bowels, and heart arrhythmia. Only the heartworms were revealed upon the dog's initial wellness checkup. Normally, that's all one might expect to be noticed in such a visit. So the three-month process recommended by the American Heartworm Association to eradicate the heartworms began with a 30-day course of the antibiotic Doxycycline. However, after 3-weeks the dog became critically ill. His liver began failing and Dr. Grimes suggested IV treatments at an emergency pet clinic, which are VERY expensive. We opted for home treatments of several supplements and meds; a much less expensive alternative. Our guy began to respond very positively and a few weeks later he was MUCH better. Then just before we (Dr. Grimes and us) were planning the next phase of the heartworm eradication, that would actually kill the worms, our dog took a downturn within a couple of hours that day. He collapsed on our floor and we had to carry all 60 pounds of him to the car. We rushed him to the clinic and the staff came out to the car and helped carry him directly into treatment. Dr. Hardy and ALL of the assistants immediately began triage, running tests, and providing every possible treatment to save his life. We were VERY gratified and appreciative of their amazing all-out efforts. It was strongly recommended we take him to an emergency pet clinic and the staff set us up with one of them. All the needed test results were transmitted directly to the emergency clinic, so when we arrived the staff there were able to rush into action to help our guy. The heart arrhythmia problem was revealed and the inflamed bowels were confirmed. Unfortunately, the prognosis was pretty poor, and we realized it was time to put our guy out of his misery. Sadly he was euthanized at that point, and we took him home to permanently rest on our rural property in Nevada County under a transplanted tree. All in all, we found the Animal Clinic at Lake of the Pines to be a great resource for pet healthcare. We can't say enough good about the service and staff there. Dr. Grimes gave us a call the day after our ordeal, giving us her heartfelt condolences. When we get another pet, we will definitely return for our new pets healthcare.“

“Best veterinary office and best staff of any vet’s office I have ever been to. I have complete confidence in their care and trust that I am never being taken advantage of. Dr. Mario is a pet whisperer!“

“I had to put my 12 year old American bully down a couple weeks ago due to cancer and I took him to Brunswick Vet. Dr. Mikaela was absolutely amazing and talked to my kids and I gracefully throughout the whole process. She was comforting and very patient with my sons and I couldn't have asked for a more professional and sympathetic person to help us through the difficult situation. Thank you to everyone at Brunswick Vet!“
