I took a kitten that I'd found while out jogging to see them to make sure she wasn't sick with anything, as she'd clearly been abandoned quite young. Usually, I'd go to a different (MUCH BETTER) vet, but they were booked up, and I wanted to have her tested before exposing her to my other cats. The appointment itself was okay, although they're sending me spam after I checked the box on the intake form telling them not to. The real problem surfaced later when I realized that the kitten had ringworm. The signs were there when we took her in, so I asked them to check for it. When they brought her back out and said she was healthy, I assumed that they'd checked everything, including that. Young kittens are really susceptible to ringworm, so I shouldn't even have had to point it out. I can assume that my usual vet, who's very diligent, will do his job, so I didn't think to triple check. This one? Not so much. Now my whole household has it, and it's spread everywhere. We'll have to be treated, we'll have to get the cats treated, and we'll have to deep clean the house. In addition, I'll have to get all the tests the Abel clinic SAYS they did redone at my usual vet, because i don't trust any of the results now. Stay away. Stay far, far away.
All the people who work at Abel Pet Clinic, from Dr. Byam to ALL the staff, are wonderful, sweet, pet-loving human beings! Everyone cares and loves the animals as if they were the only patient. We are all treated with kindness and dignity. That's rare these days and it's very refreshing. Besides the top notch care, prices are fair and Dr. Byam won't do a procedure unless she thinks it really necessary. I am ALWAYS recommending Abel Pet Clinic. It is not in my neighborhood, but well worth the drive from East Sac knowing that i and my babies are in loving and good hands. Thank you to everyone at Abel Pet Clinic! You ALL are awesome.
We have utilized Abel Pet Clinic ever since we moved to Elk Grove in 1998. We came clients because I am a UCDavis graduate and Dr. Bynam (also being a UCDavis graduate) offered a discount. That being said, we have not been disappointed in the service. Abel Pet Clinic personnel are compassionate and very knowledgeable. Abel Pet Clinic has taken very good care of all of my pets and I am very well pleased.
The best vet I have visited yet. Highly recommend. Very caring people who make sure all your questions are answered and seem to take a personal interest in the well being of your pets.
The principle of this clinic, Kelly Byam, could not be more professional or compassionate. She is a wealth of knowledge and prides herself in providing care and attention above and beyond the call of duty to her clients. She is well known for her support of rescue pets and has several of her own. Highly recommended!
