Covington Creek Veterinary Hospital Fort Bragg, California

I appreciate the clear/consistently followed procedures. I was initially concerned I couldn't be with my pet during her examination but I received a thorough briefing following Missy's appointment followed up with a point by point email of our discussion including links to the topics for clarification, in support of recommendations.

Very thorough. Always takes good care of my fur babies

Always there for your pets. Dr Chaves answers questions by phone, in person and on the internet. He is there for emergencies as well as general care. Extremely knowledgeable and stays up to date, and isn't shy about calling another vet when he has to. Recently, my dog needed a specialized shot that he didn't have on hand so he called another vet nearby to arrange for me to get the necessary shot for my dog. Bedside manner is fantastic. His staff is prompt, caring and great about taking care of my account with them. When traveling, I can call his staff, ask a question, they will either answer it or pass it on to Dr Chaves for me. Dr Chaves has been my vet forever. Now you know why.

Are dog keener was very sick... Called this place to make a emergency appt... Well thay said we cant make an appt. Till the next day. My poor dog was whing, howling, RESTLESS. Could bearly walk. Could drink water. But hadent been eating very well. Told us the earliest we could get in was the next day at 4. We went there at about 1:00. Because he was really really sick then. The assistant said thay were double booked... So after many whinging and howlings later and almost dead.. We finaly made it back before 4. Thay said there wasnot any thing thay could do for him. Even after asking the doc. He said we might have been able to save him.. NEVER TAKE URR PET TO THEM IT ISN'T WORTH IT....

For planned surgery’s they were fine. If your pet needs euthanasia however , good luck. No compassion. No call backs. We watched our 20 year old cat die a slow death and it was very painful and stressful for our Maui and us. These people appear to be in it just for the money. No compassion or true caring. They seem like really nice people. UNTIL YOU NEED THEM.

Best Veterinary hospital the employees are great. Have been going there for years

Absolutely unprofessional care, terrible service, incompetent workers

Taking your animals to this establishment is like playing Russian Roulette. Most of the time they're... adequate. If your pet needs a check up, or a shot, sure. But if your dog is hurt, or needs serious medical care? I don't recommend rolling the dice.

I wish I could give this zero stars. Not professional, not helpful. The first time I brought one of my dogs here, they just said she was going to die. So I ended going home and running my own IV and nursing her back to health. They don’t communicate well and they take no responsibility for it. I brought my other dog here (don’t know why after my first experience) because he had a torn ligament or broken bone and I wanted to get an X-ray to confirm and all they said was “sorry, the appointment is actually next week”. I won’t even say this place is overpriced because it’s not worth any price at all.

Very caring office. You can just feel the love for the animals from the reception desk to the exam room. Nothing but the utmost respect for this veterinarian office!

Amazing friendly staff with the most perfect Vet in Colin ????.. does not over medicate and you feel welcomed and you know your beloved babies are in great hands here!

Small vet, but really seems to care about animals. Willing to suggest less mainstream approaches to ongoing health.

Dr. Colin Chaves and his staff have done only excellent work on our cat and 3 dogs. Cannot say enough other than we are very fortunate to have him here and provide services of exceptional standards.

Long time vet, wonderful, caring staff.

Friendly, compassionate staff providing professional care for our pets.

Danger danger, danger Will Robinson Went to this individual due to a five star rating. However my experience was anything but , I feel I over paid for a full exam, the doctor did not fully look inside my Dogs hears take my dogs temperature or fully examine the spots on my dogs belly. Also your word is your bond so when the doctor tells the patient he is going to email them with grass weight management and help you get your dog on a program. And then just dismisses you out of hand again nothing but incompetence.. Business model practice that I see festering through the United States. Once again overpaid for exam overpay for shots take you or family member there at your own risk! A negative one star!!!!!!!

This clinic refused care for our poodle that was in distress & pain. We were NOT established patients so therefore go somewhere else or go home. We were camping in Fort Bragg & had to come home for immediate Care for a slipped disc, 4hours later...????????????... shame on you, you are NOT good animal providers....

They took great care of my dogs

AAAA+++ Thank You for giving me peace of mind with my cat Magic :)

Kind and efficient care. They do a great job

The whole staff really care and love their furry patients.

Everyone here is so nice! They have a place you can bored you dog or cat & the person who cares for them while you're away is very caring and passionate about what they do! That goes for everyone that works there! My dogs love them all!

Great place! Our cats have been there a few times, each tine was good. The veterinarian was grear,the office staff was great,sych a peaceful place.

Always go the extra mile for us, even getting us meds on their day off.

It was fast and available for my dog

Covington Creek Veterains is one of the best in Mendocino County.. They helped me with one of my dogs. He didn't make it but they did the best they could do. They care about you and your animals needs.

I've never been there for services. I haven't heard any negative feedback though.

My highest praises for Dr. Chaves and his staff. I brought my older Chihuahua in for an ear exam and Dr. Chaves detected several other problems (a heart murmur and knee joints popping in and out). I wouldn't have known about these problems without Dr. Chaves' help. He is the most thorough vet I've ever taken my animals to and I can't say enough about how happy I am to have him nearby. Great office, peaceful setting and friendly, helpful staff. Five stars for sure!

Always helpful. Dr Chaves is willing to explain in great detail what he does compared to the Humane Society, when it comes to getting your animal fixed, and why it is worth the extra expense and comfort for the animal. When it comes to skipping unnecessary tests, Dr Chaves asks questions and finds out what is right and what is best and what is needed. The staff are always helpful and very knowledgeable. They also have boarding there as well. I trust my cat to Covington Creek Veterinary Hospital and gladly recommend.

They were very rude to me and my children! I have never been treated so badly in a place of business! The secretary is extremely rude and its OBVIOUS that they only care about money...i wouldn't take my pet there again if u paid me!
