 VETERINARIANS  

 

It is very important to establish a good working relationship between

yourself, your Veterinarian, and your pet before you actually need the

services of a pet clinic. We recommend that when you first get your

pets that you schedule a "Well Pet Check Up" so that you and your

pet will feel comfortable with the Veterinarian that you have chosen

before you are faced with a health crisis or pet emergency. This will

also help your Veterinarian to get to know your pet and it's behavior

and establish a good healthy baseline for your pet.

 

Please note that this is only a listing of Veterinarians that see pet

Rats and other small animal companion pets. Some listings have

reviews and comments which are to be used as a helpful guide line

for finding a qualified Veterinarian for your small animal companion pet.

We can not make any guarantees about the quality of work nor the

cost of any services that the veterinarian you choose from this listing

will provide for you and your pet.

Specializes in exotics and he
was wonderful when I took
my ratties to him. He knew
exactly what he was talking
about. And...their prices are
about the same as other
places and you get far
superior service. I would
never take my ratties any
where else in the East Bay.

I took my rat here and highly recommend her. A former
employee, who had worked
there for 9 years, highly
recommended her for pocket
pets, and thank goodness I got
this referral because I just didn't
know where to go in Sonoma County.

Low cost neuters
(rat neuters for $45.00)
Very good and the price is
great! So far their work is
excellent and I have had
no problem with abscessing
with the neuters. Must drop
off pet at 6:00 a.m. day of
surgery. Highly recommended
for neuters.

Reasonable vet cost for small
pets. Only does neuters now.
Dr. Sandra McRoberts DVM experienced with pet rats!
If you have pet rats, I highly
recommend taking them to Dr.
McRoberts. Not only does she
have a lot of experience with
them, her rates are very
reasonable, unlike a lot of other
vets who consider rats to be
"exotics". She is kind, caring,
and treats pet rats with much
deserved respect.

are great vets and are very up

questions they may not know
the answer right away, but they
can find out. I took all my rats to
them for three years while I
was in Sacramento and have
no regrets.

Dr. Hopkins is the veterinarian

very understanding and a fountain
of information. If you are within

someone she trained? See her
