Your Trusted Partner in Canine Reproduction and Health Clearances
Many purebred dogs that have attained impressive standings in regional and national shows have something important in common: gestational and ongoing care at Willow Creek Veterinary Clinic in Folsom, California. Just like you, all of us here at Willow Creek are animal lovers. We’re philosophically committed to giving all dogs that have come to our clinic the utmost care that they deserve.
Our veterinarian has a well-earned reputation for her expertise and bedside manner, and our calming environment keeps canine patients as relaxed as possible. Our veterinarian’s surgical skills are unsurpassed.
We can fill many prescriptions in our on-site pharmacy, either in person or through our online ordering platform, and price-match online pharmacies to benefit our clients.
Willow Creek Veterinary Clinic, established in 2020, performs preventive care services, including annual or more frequent checkups, vaccinations, surgical care, and urgent care services, exclusively for our current clients and our ongoing reproductive care patients. We also offer behavioral advice as well as dietary guidance to help ensure that your pets’ feedings are balanced nutritionally and suited to their age and level of activity. And, yes, we help maintain dental health with radiology-guided dental procedures and also offer advanced surgical procedures if needed with a board-certified surgeon. You can count on us for lifelong care, from conception through old age.
