Dr. Sleep puts policy above pet care. Took my cat there yesterday for a pre-dental exam. When I arrived and given paperwork, I was told all pets have to have a rabies vaccine. (Why didnt they mention that on the phone?) I said I would discuss with the doctor once in exam room. He looked at my cats teeth (clearly needing dental care) and listened to her heart. He stated she has a "bad heart murmur and nobody will do dental cleaning/anesthesia" before treating it. Im, of course, very upset (crying). Discuss options right now-antibiotic shot for gum infection thatll last 2 weeks (while I figure out what to do about the heart). I choose that option...he leaves and assistant comes in and gives me price for antibiotic shot AND rabies shot. I explain since I dont know what is going on with her heart and she is an INDOOR cat I dont want to do the rabies at this time, preferring to do a bit of research. He comes back and refuses to treat at all (no antibiotic) because Im refusing vaccine! I understand if they have a policy of not wanting to put an animal under anesthesia if theyre not vaccinated but she is sitting on his table in his exam room! It felt like a power struggle- his way or the highway. Not my idea of a caring veterinarian! I left and she is going to a more open vet. CA state law does NOT require rabies shot for cats...only dogs. So, if you dont question status quo and go along with all western medicine...then maybe hes the vet for your pet....not for me.

Ive been taking my dogs to Sonoma Animal Hospital for more than 20 years and theyve been there to help us through vaccinations, illness, injuries and ultimately, the last good-bye. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
