Camino Animal Hospital

They are amazing here! They make you feel like your pets are their favorites. They work to accommodate the feisty pets and go above and beyond with end of life care. They are as thorough with chasing down the cause of a problem as you are willing to be and conscientious of your wishes. Way to go!

We reached out to Camino Animal Hospital for two of our dogs in the past year. The staff and doctors are understanding and compassionate, and helped us take care of our dogs' needs. I thought the charges were very fair as well. Thank you. I will not hesitate to recommend you.

Everyone who works here and cared for our kitties are very fondly remembered by their kind and gentle presence and after two years back in NY, I measure the present care of our feline babies now with their new doctors, recalling the excellent care that was consistently provided by both Dr Christopher Garden and Dr Lourdes Garden and Dr Stephanie Carlson. A great big batch of hugs to Teri at the front desk who always took the time to settle my nerves and brace my fears....Miss you all!!

Dr. Garden diagnosed an unusual disease in my German Shepherd and has been treating her for nearly two years. Highly recommend this vet practice.

The skill, care and compassion they show to my pets is second to none. I know my animals are in good hands when we visit their clinic! I have personally recommended Camino Animal Hospital to others with companion animals.

Everyone is very friendly and genuinely seem to care about our dog. Wouldn’t go to any other vet.

I completely trust Camino Animal Hospital with my yorkie Harry who is now 15 years old. Harry has been seeing Chris for several years and he has taken the time in treating Harry keeping him healthy and alive.

This is the best veterinary clinic that we have ever used. The front desk staff are led by Terry who is so kind and compassionate. During Covid I watched the doctor come out and gently lift an elderly dog from the car next to mine. The owners of the dog were worried and scared and he was so comforting to them and treated their dog like it was his own precious pet. At the same time, he was confident and reassuring to the owners. They did an immediate X-ray, diagnosed the issue, and the doctor personally came out giving a plan of action and continued to come out with updates. I have a seven year old healthy dog, if anything goes wrong with her I know that we are at the clinic where all of the talented people who work there really, really care. Dr. Jenny Carlson is a really amazing doctor, she is usually the one that we see and she is not only a talented Veterinarian she is one of the nicest person you will ever meet! Her tech assistants are gentle and never rush us. The reception staff led by Terry are all kind and great with follow up skills. The entire organization works hard at keeping costs low for the customer, and providing time, care, and kindness like you are their only customer.

We have had 4 pets over the last 20 years, all cared for by this veterinary hospital. They have been gentle and kind with all, especially in their final visit. There have been mostly successes in altering the course of diseases including removal of a cancerous tumor. If I adopt another pet, this will be where he/she finds their medical care giver.

I highly recommend Camino Animal Hospital. Drs. Garden and Carlson are wonderful. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. We never feel rushed. We’ve taken all 5 of our pets here ever since we moved and have not been disappointed. Teri at the front desk is terrific, always compassionate and helpful. And all of the vet techs are amazing (thank you Robbi, Becky and Kimber). I am so very thankful for everyone at Camino Vet!

These are the best care givers for your pets. They have treated our dogs as if they were their own. They all care about the outcome and Dr Garden is genuine and truthful about your dog's condition and treatment. We have been going to Camino Animal Hospital for about 20 years. They're compassionate when your pet is aging and/or sick and you want them to help.....they DO and they're realistic and honest about the quality of life of your animals. These doctors and support people are great.

Cody didn't shake being scared and let the vet touch him every where and didn't growl at all, Special man !!

I have a rescue Cane Corso who is extremely fearful of men and not great with strangers. Working with Dr. Carlson has been an excellent experience. She doesn't rush to treat him but rather takes his treatment slow going at his pace. Dr. Carlson did a wonderful job getting the answers we needed with a blood draw rather then a hands on exam because she noticed it was making him too uncomfortable. I highly recommend Camino Vet to anyone with a pet. The staff has been helpful, friendly and professional!

My whole family now brings their furry friends to Camino Animal Hospital. Everyone there is fantastic and friendly and really love animals. The doctors are top notch and don;t try to sell you things you don't need. They are communicative and responsive even when they're busy. If you have pets, this is place to bring them for trusted, reliable and compassionate care.

I was fortunate to find Camino Animal Hospital when I moved to the area 3-1/2 years ago. There was a vet closer to my house, but I established with Camino because they were thoughtful, sensitive to my needs having 3 dogs, and the care has always been exceptional. They also helped me through a difficult time with one of my dogs. They were all so kind and compassionate while also providing excellent care. I highly recommend this office.

I had my 3 fur babies Zombie, Kismet, Mittens (cats) in for shots and a check up. Extremely friendly and animal loving staff. Great Vet who is thorough and explains things in detail. I rest easy knowing my babies are in good hands. I will continue to bring my babies here, because I trust them with their care. And that's the most important. That I am assured they are well cared for. Pleasant atmosphere and great energy. Reasonable prices. Top quality care. I won't go anywhere else. And if your pets are your babies too, I promise this is the vet for you. They care. You are not just another pet/owner to them. Knowledgeable, Caring, respectful staff. Every person who works here cares and it shows.

We actually live within a couple miles of 3 other vets here locally in Placerville...and we've been to them all. My bulldog would try to run the opposite direction every time we would pull in the parking lot. My son suggested taking the extra time to drive to Camino for all our pets as he has been very happy with the care his pets received. So we did, and what a pleasant surprise. Long story short, we will continue to drive the extra miles because of the way they treat our pets, and us. And my bulldog loves to go the vet, now!

My little lady; our best friend; our lovely dog was on deaths door this morning and after taking her to an ER vet Sunday and them doing nothing…we brought her to the Camino vet/her original vet the next day. Dr. Carlson and her staff took such great care of our baby girl who could have died. They brought her back to life and figured out what was wrong with her. Dr. Carlson did not stop until she knew what was wrong. She treated her quote on quote “like her own dog”. She saved my dogs life and we are so great full. FYI this was not the first time they have helped my pup. Each time has been great!

Over the last 18 years, my family has used many different vets. 5 years ago, we discovered Camino Animal Hospital, and we will never change vets again! The staff is so very friendly, they clearly adore their clients and the car we receive is top notch!

Absolutely love Camino Animal Hospital. I only trust my pets with the vets here, especially Dr. Carlson. They truly care about animals and it shows!
