American River animal hospital. I don't think they would ever recommend that. If u want to do that to kitties, you should not have cats

Hazel Ridge is wonderful. We love Dr. Harrod and all the rest of the vets there.
Becky B. replied:
I use Dr Reiser at Hazel Ridge (she cried along with me two years ago when my Maine Coon was put to sleep after a three year battle with diabetes...they love your animals as much as you do), but I agree, they are all great.

I'm a pet sitter here in town Dr. Putty's been the best. He is very concerned about your pets. When one of my dogs passed away not long ago, he sent me the most nicest card ever. I've been to many vets in Sacramento and he's like the best.

I highly recommend Dr. Putty. He has taken care of my cats and rabbits over the years. His asst, Jason, is great too!! Debbie Klenzman Carlson .. my daughter is a pet sitter (college student) too. Let me know if you're still looking.

I FOUND ONE!!! Dr. Rebecca Harrod of Hazel Ridge Vet on Hazel Ave. absolutely will not declaw a cat. She is my new vet. Yeah! FYI- other vets at this clinic do declaw. Dr. Jyl, Rubin and Dr Putty of Oaks Village do declaw and actually advertise it on their website. If you feel like I do, please talk to your vet about ceasing this horrible surgery. They don't just pull the claw out, they actually cut off the end of the paw at the last knuckle. Declawed cats often end up in shelters or euthanized because of behavior problems. Thank you everyone for you help. Now I have a new vet and a new pet sitter! I love Fair Oaks!
Becky B. replied:
Debbie...I'm truly happy you settled on Hazel Ridge...they definitely are my Vet for life. It's funny that with Dr Harrod's first name the same as mine, I've been in the office when one of the staff is talking to her and I answer (she uses Becky as well), or when my Vet Dr Kristin Reiser is talking to me and Dr Harrod answers. They all are a fantastic group.

Dr. Harrod is wonderful!!!!!

Robyn, here is the website and page that mentions declaw. I personally am against it entirely so that was my decision in seeking the vet I did. http://www.oaksvillagevet.net/.../c_983_the_cutting_edge...
Today I must quit stalling! Need to get packages mailed and don't have any certified return receipts at home. It's been 2 weeks since my last call to attorney and new my...
