Capital Pets Animal Hospital - Sacramento

I had an excellent experience taking my cat for his first visit and I will definitely keep taking him here from now on. Making an appointment was easy and they have weekend availability, even on Valentine’s Day. :) The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Dr. Manhas is so nice, professional but very personable and of course, very knowledgeable and an expert at what he does. My cat started hissing and he knew exactly how to handle him with bare hands lol. He let my cat be a cat during the exam but my cat knew the vet was the boss lol. The price was reasonable, they don’t try to upsell you anything and I can tell the vet and this company is honest and have high integrity. I completely trust the vet doc. I highly recommend this Capital Pets Animal Hospital and see you all again next time!

I have a black dog with black nails. Because of this, trimming her nails can be tricky; it's very difficult to see the quick (the vein in each nail) to avoid cutting it. I have had my dog for 6 years and have opted to have her nails trimmed at the vet each time she needs it rather than risk hurting her, and this has gone well in the past. We just moved to Sacramento, and I needed a new vet to trim my dog's nails. I called Capital Pets and made an appointment with a nice-sounding man, to whom I explained my need for a skillful nail trim on an anxious black-nailed dog. He seemed to understand perfectly. When my dog and I arrived for our appointment today, I explained our purpose again, stressing that I was there because I was afraid a groomer or I would accidentally cut my dog's quick and needed to avoid that. We then spoke to the vet and went over our needs and concerns again. After our vet consult, a tech came and led my dog away. She returned her five minutes later and my dog went under a chair. When the vet tech left the room, my dog walked out and I realized she was leaving bloody paw prints on the floor and had bled a puddle under the chair. I called for help, and when the tech came back she seemed annoyed. She took my dog away again and brought her back again after a few minutes, claiming to have "fixed her feet." I took issue with this situation, but when I brought it up with the vet, the female vet tech yelled at me and told me it's totally normal, nails bleed when you cut them, and it's not her fault she injured my dog because her nails are black and she couldn't see the quick. When I said nails don't bleed - quicks do - and that it's not okay she hurt my dog, she put her hand in my face and said "bye. You need to go." So I did. I went online and filed a complaint with the state licensing board, and now I'm telling all of you. This is the kind of place that will hurt or kill your pet and then refuse to take responsibility.

So Great! Very happy with the care we received. Brought my dog in who was in a very bad state. They diagnosed her with pancreatitis. We did blood work, they sent us home with IV fluids, antibiotics, nausea meds, they did bloodwork. All of this cost me just under $500. It was VERY reasonably priced. Everywhere else wanted half that just to walk in the door. Very kind and understanding care. 10/10 recommend.

Please beware * I brought our beloved cat of 4 years to this vet because his breathing seemed labored . I’d taken him here before but for minor things like shots . When I brought him this last time I was very concerned about his breathing. The vet said he was fine and sent us home . Not after their fee of course . Our beloved Fur Baby passed away a week later of heart failure. His heart was 10 times the size of a regular heart and surrounded with fluid . Our fur baby was suffering . This vet seems to be a shot clinic but anything more serious i’d advise taking your beloved fur baby elsewhere . Unless you don’t mind their ashes sitting in a little box afterwards. Our hearts will forever be broken and this was so preventable had they actually taken it seriously when I brought him in .

Seen this Vet a number of times for different dogs. I would recommend him to my family and friends. He has alot of experience and he is a straight shooter. He doesnt try to upsell me on anything. (Like many vets like to do) Prices are also very fair especially compared to everyone else in Sacramento. Will return.
