We haven't been to the new location yet, but have visited them at their old location numerous times for abscesses. (One of our cats have a tendency to not back down at a fight.) We started going to them after another vet's (on La Riveria Dr.) idea of emergency service is to have a recording suggesting you check the yellow pages for a vet with emergency care. The VCA vets and office staff are great. We heart them! We also take both our cats to VCA that you went to.

We like VCA Greenhaven because they start with somewhat hippie-ish remedies before escalating to the latest in vet technology. When my 95 lb Lab ate half a homemade (baked from scratch, for my anniversary!) chocolate cake and I was freaking out because chocolate is supposed to be deadly to dogs, they told us to watch her, that she would probably react much like a human that has had too much caffeine. They told us how to make her vomit, but we didn't need to. Apparently the size of the dog and the amount of chocolate makes a difference. And when my chow mix ate everything (blankets, frisbees, dogpoo, magnolia buds--they call it dietary indiscretion) and got sick they just had us feed her some white rice for a couple of days and take away the blankets. Both dogs are fine, but I have found some vets overly willing to run a complete battery of tests (including dental exams) when the problem could just be something simple. I don't like vets who prey on the guilt of pet owners, and I would be more inclined to trust VCA Greenhaven if they tell me something is seriously wrong, because the minor things have been treated as such--just minor things.
