We had an emergency situation with our pet rat. Our usual vet wasn't into today, and referred us to DB Vet. The office was great, able to squeeze us in, Dr. Dietrich was great, very knowledgeable about rats, which is not easy to find locally. Honestly, I love our local vet, but....I may have found a new vet for our rats! He was able to answer all of our questions & his rates are very reasonable. 

Business response:

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your experience at our hospital! We would first like to welcome you and your furry friend to the Discovery Bay Veterinary Clinic family! We are glad to hear that Dr. Dietrich was so helpful and that your first visit to our clinic was a great one. We look forward to seeing you and your pet again soon!

Dr. Dietrich and his staff are absolutely wonderful! I have a golden retriever who is very....lets say...enthusiastic ;) She can be a challenge to get to sit still, which obviously can make exams difficult! The staff here is always more than patient with her, and take the time to give her all the love and attention she wants. That said, I've never had to sit and wait very long for the vet to see us, and we've been going here for 3 years. They must make their appointment windows pretty generous - which is highly import... read more

We have been taking our 3 dogs and 1 cat to Discovery Bay Vet for the past 4 years and have nothing but good experiences. Sammy our 1 dog has Addisons disease and needed a shot every 25 days for rest of his life and the shot is not cheap but Dr Dietrich with testing has extended it too every 45 days. Thanks Doc PS--he also was the only doctor around who treated pet rats also

If there was a way to give 10 stars we would! We have put our dog and cats under the care of Discovery Bay Veterinarian for over 10 years. Our sweet dog, Gracie, suffered from diabetes for the last 2 years of her life and Dr. Dietrich worked hard to and did stabilize her so her quality of life was quite high. Dr. Dietrich was compassionate to us as well as Gracie. He advised us as to how to make the most of the rest of Gracie's life. When it came time to put Gracie down his empathy and kindness helped measurably to get us... read more

Business response:

Karla - Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. Losing a four-legged friend is extremely difficult so we greatly appreciate that you trusted Dr. Dietrich and the rest of our staff to help you through it. Gracie was a special friend to us too so it was only fit that she had a special donation put in her name. Your loyalty to us doesn't go unnoticed! Warm regards, the Discovery Bay team

Dr. Dietrich genuinely cares about my animals and is really accommodating. My dog actually LIKES going to his office! He obviously knows his stuff and is willing to go above and beyond for any animal in need. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone.

I have found all the staff at the clinic to be extrememly helpful and knowledgeable. If I have a question that the staff does not have an answer for, they are quick to find out for me and get back to me quickly. Our dogs have received wonderful and compassionate care from Dr Dietrich and his staff and I would not hesitate to take my animals there again. Thanks to Dr D our dog's back injury was treated correctly and he did not have to be put down as we feared. Wonderful wonderful clinic! 

Business response:

Judy, Thank you for taking the time to review us on Yelp! We are happy to hear that you had such a good experience with our clinic and staff, and that your dog's surgery went well.

Took my 9 yr old Himalayan nethie rabbit here last December after I noticed him rapidly losing weight, hair, and having some irritation in one eye. Dr. Gray chalked it up to old age and his eye irritation to be an eye infection. He told me otherwise he was fine. My rabbit did look fine afterwards and his eye cleared up with the eye drops Dr. Gray prescribed, but he still wasn't gaining weight despite me adding more nutritious foods to his diet. A week later, his condition took a turn for worse and I had to take him to the em... read more

Hello Paula, we got a chance to review all the records regarding the two cases you mentioned. As we have not heard of these concerns directly, only on this platform, we are happy to respond here for you and the awareness of readers. For Ozy, we did note that your brought him to the emergency clinic 12 days after a physical exam was performed at our clinic. The ER records indicate Ozy was normal during this timespan (based on your communications with the ER clinic), until a very acute crisis that day. The eye infection and ... read more

I brought my kitty in to be spayed, a few days later she came down with a respiratory virus. Sneezing non stop, etc. I called the vet- they pawned it off as "allergies." All three of my young cats are fixed, have vaccinations, and are very pampered exclusively indoor cats. The next day my second cat (2yrs old) comes down with sneezing fits- but much worse and rapidly declines within 24hrs to having 105 fever and full respiratory distress. Discovery bay couldn't find the time to fit him in to be seen, and this was a Wednesda... read more
