I won't be going back-while the staff was great! -The vet was unengaged-did an exam less than I do daily at home-didn't connect with either my dogs or me-coming from an above average clinic in CO-what a grand disappointment!

My story begins 20+ years ago. We had just moved to Vacaville when our blue point Siamese cat became ill. I took him to a vet who only wanted money with out any concern for the owner. I was a young mother and our family had just bought our first home, money was tight but my pet needed help not just "lets do these tests for XYZ and everything else" so I asked around for the best vet and was told Dr. Murray was the best and sure enough he was he saved my cat. From that time he has seen many of our pets, for routine care to the last minutes of our family dog. Now comes the rub, we didn't see him for some time as we did not have any pets. My son had a very ranbuncious Staphy bull terrier who found himself with a broken lower jaw, Dr Murrays office fixed him up just dandy. Please note the word office as it seems Dr Murray was busy. No problem the vet was very good. however about a year later our dog was acting very strange so we had him looked at the office again (Dr Murray was busy) the dog was sent home with no diagnosis. Sad to say he died the next day. I called to tell them he had passed and if maybe with this news they could think of any reason, the vet from the day before called us back and was shocked, and sorry. A year later my son had 2 puppies who after saving from the the solano shelter came down with parvo. He took them to Dr. Murray who was busy again. My son could not afford the $4500 bill so was forced to take care of his puppies at home they both recovered and am happy to say alive today. Now to the point when the discussion between my son (27) got heated as to his ability to care for his dogs he stated he wasn't to sure why he was even bringing his dogs there because of the previous event,so the management took it upon themselves to flag MY account, not my sons and not give me service any longer!I did not know this as I had no reason to. I now have a new puppy and called to start her shots only to be told I accused (when we finally got the story right, manager had her facts confused) the office of killing our dog! I never did that. My son still brought his new dogs for care. Is this a case of CYA for fear there was wrong doing in the death of our staphy?? I will never recommend this office or Dr. Murray and especially the office staff to any one again. This is to bad as I was a very big champion. Do not go to Oak Animal Hospital.

We have been taking our 3 pets to Oak Animal Hospital in Vacaville since 2000. They have been great in both service and price. I have recommended them to friends and was surprised to find out that some of them were already taking their pets there too. They have a terrific reputation. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Murray was great with our dog. Could not have asked for an easier experience!! We recommend this vet to anyone who wants a professional helpful outcome from a sad situation.

I took my cat in for a dental cleaning. I was misquoted over the phone, wasn't told there would be a "fee" for the presurgical exam, told there wasn't an additional cost for extractions, they wouldn't accept payments after misquoting me by 140.00. The finally agreed to let me make 2 payments and I went in to pick up my cat and found that I was charged additional for 2 extractions and then was told by another woman I could only make a payment for 7.00 next month, which was the additional they went over and had to pay the rest in full. The end result, don't go there if you are worried about not loosing all your money. No one seems to know what they are doing in the financial category and everyone has something different to say.
