Dr. Laurie A. Bulkeley DVM is the owner of Yolo Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Bulkeley received her DVM degree from Colorado State University in 1988. She then worked in Oncology at CSU for 1 year, as well as doing relief work in emergency medicine in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Bulkeley spent the next 9 years developing her skills in internal medicine, oncology, surgery and dentistry at Arcadia Small Animal Hospital.
You might think puppy and kitten wellness programs are a fad, but the importance of keeping your pets healthy throughout their lives cannot be overstated. We provide whole in-house preventative and diagnostic technology for your beloved pet. Our animal wellness program looks into the special needs of your furry friend, especially if it's a breed known to have unique problems.
Even though your dog or cat is domesticated, they still have the instincts of a wild animal. With that said, they do not show pain because that shows vulnerability to its predators. Your pet is also part of the family. As such, Yolo Veterinary Clinic in Woodland offers veterinary diagnostics, much like the preventative medicine you receive from your doctor, to ensure your furry friend is at their healthiest.
One of the biggest issues we see here at Yolo Veterinary Clinic is bad teeth. Your dog and cat can get plaque and gingivitis just like you can, and unless you trained them when they were a puppy and a kitten, they aren't going to open wide and let you brush their teeth twice a day. Teeth-cleaning snacks are not enough.
Despite popular belief, your pet does not want to vacation with you. Yolo Veterinary Clinic in Woodland offers both dog boarding and cat boarding, and we do so with facilities that are climate controlled for your animal's comfort. We provide ample space for play and recreation, and when your canine is out romping around with the other residents they will forget how much they miss you.

Legitimately loved this vet clinic. (You're gonna want to keep reading!!!)
I'm a first-time puppy owner and 3 days after I brought my pug puppy (2-month old) home, he started showing symptoms of Parvo, which obviously freaked me out. (And the Google search results that told me his survival rate with treatment would be around 60%-90% freaked me out even more)
First, I took him a highly rated Yelp vet clinic that had an availability for him on the same day. Of course I know Parvo is very serious, but the technicians there made the whole situation very negative and made me even more nervous

I am not trying to bash this place I just wanted to let people know (and also maybe the vet) to not trust this place as your only source of diagnosis/advice. A couple of years ago I woke up to my dog not being able to see out of one eye. Her eye was very cloudy, swollen and I could tell she had no vision in that eye(she has never had any eye problems). First time in, saw a male veterinarian. They didn't see any puncture wounds on eye so took blood test and sent me home with eye ointment & antibiotics, told me come back in a week. When I came back Dr Beckley says she was allergic to medication

My experience has been very positive and I really really like the Dr and felt immediately very trusting of her. I had been very concerned about taking my 18 year old cat to any vet after our previous vet diagnosed him with hypertension and prescribed heart medication...I was concerned his heart couldn't take the drive. Well, he is not remotely hypertensive and he is doing amazing.
They also have been incredible with my 8000 questions about a feral cat I accidentally fell in love with and take him at a moments notice when he needs treatment.
The feeling of peace and trust I have with this

First time ever boarding any of my babies. Chose Yolo veterinary clinic Main St. Woodland CA because I didn't see bad reviews and their boarding fees were reasonable. Very very disappointed. Guess you get what you pay for. Will never go back. They ruined a bag of raw dog food. Never read instructions said they didn't know about raw dog food. Possibly feeding my dog tainted raw food because it wasn't kept frozen. Used their own dog food without my knowledge/permission and when my dog developed diarrhea they gave her medication that they charged me for. Was told they threw out the

My dog has been experiencing horrible allergies this season and decided to take him local instead of driving 45+ minutes to his usual vet we take him to. As we walked in our pup was a little anxious but the staff was kind and understanding. Filled out some forms and we were seen within 10 mins of checking in. Appreciated how sweet the entire staff was from check in with Alexa to check out. Thanks to Dr.B our dog was not scared at all and approached her which amazed me considering previous places we've been at he hides behind us. Safely say we found a new vet!

It's early and I have a sick cat. While I haven't taken him in yet, I know when I walk in the door this morning without an appt that they will see him. I have taken my animals there for 10 years and will not go anywhere else. I have been to other vets in town and they are fine. But yolo vet has consistently been above and beyond. Thank you for all the care to my animals.

This post is long overdue but I've personally had a good experience with Yolo Vet Clinic.
Last fall (around October 2017), my then 6 year old Maltese came down with Folliculitis and I couldn't get an appointment with numerous clinics both in Davis and Woodland. It was spreading fast from her face down to her neck and I can tell she was not comfortable so when I called Yolo Vet, they saw me the same day (thankfully they weren't busy Friday late afternoon), diagnosed her properly, and gave her a shot to treat it. The male vet was nice, heard me out, gave me suggestions, and offered

I had to board my dog at the last minute and they were able to accomodate me. She needed a vaccine and they were able to do it on the same day as we dropped her off. Truly exceptional from drop off to pick up! I will definitely take my dog for boarding here again. My dog was clean and happy when I picked her up. Thank you Yolo Veterinary Clinic. It's no surprise you've been around since the 50s!

I am not here to bash anyone I just don't want anyone to go through what our family had to. PLEASE PLEASE think twice then again take another moment to think before you take your animals here.
I took our dog here due to our regular vet not having an opening. I asked if he was suffering because he was obviously in bad shape. I even got my husband on the phone and he asked if it was going to give our dog any quality of life with treatment and the end result was leaving with a bunch of meds, including injections, and a large bill. She said she couldn't say anything before doing blood work

At first I was so relieved to find a vet that could see my dog on short notice. Maybe that should've been a red flag since every other vet I called was booked. Hero had chewed up a towel and $400 barium X-rays were necessary I was told. We then had to rush him to a hospital an hour away for an endoscopy. Imagine my surprise when I was told that an endoscopy wasn't an option, since you can't do one for 24 hours after barium. Seems that any vet should know that, right? Long story short, Hero needed emergency surgery which was $4000 more than if the endoscopy could've been done

Dr Laurie Bulkeley and her staff always go out of their way to welcome my dogs, they feel loved and comfortable with them.
I use their boarding services frequently. My dogs are pampered by Dr Bulkeley's staff. The dogs are actually excited to go to The "doggie spa". My dachshund, Bogey, tries to push the clinic front door open every time we arrive for an appointment or for boarding. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Just wanted to thank you guys for the exceptional service we received today 1/27/18. Everyone was very polite and talkative. The doctor was very informative when I asked a few questions about the dog food and some other things. I think my dogs liked him. He sat down at there level and did his exam. They just thought he was loving on them. The place was clean and inviting. Not sure of the negative reviews on here? Kinda sound made up? Iv had only positive experiences here even when one of my labs needed emergency surgery for eating rocks.

Dental cleaning and extractions on 10-year-old Shih Tzu and less than a week later, she is acting like a puppy (seriously). YVC is an amazing place providing excellent care for my animals. Highly recommend this place (and I have 3 different vets for 3 different dogs) by far compared to other places in this area.

Yolo Vet Clinic has always taken care of the regular needs of our family dog Oliver. Recently Ollie became ill and we took him immediately to the clinic. He was diagnosed and had to have 2 complicated surgeries. Dr. Bulkeley along with her entire staff are the best of the best.
Oliver without a doubt received the best treatment ever and is back to his happy self. The cost of the surgeries and follow up was very reasonable. Not to mention someone always called to check on him at home.
We will be forever grateful to Dr Bulkeley,
Alexa, Paula, Lisa and others helping us through this very stressful

Yolo Vets has been very helpful and friendly during all are visits. Recently we had to put our family dog down. The Veterinarian Dr Willits and his assistant where very supportive and compassionate during our difficult time. They did not rush us an allowed us to spend as much time as we needed before and after, even though we has a examination room tied up for about a hour. They were very comforting to our dog too making him as comfortable as possible.
But this was not the only time that they where helpful and friendly. Other trips to there clinic they showed the same concern for the pets

This clinic is amazing!
The staff has always been very friendly and the care they give the animals is personal and loving.
I adopted a cat from this clinic and they took a little extra time to get to know me to make sure he would be a good fit. I adopted him for a low fee of $50 and that was with him being neutered, and given all of his shots.
Recently I had four kittens given to me by a coworker who couldn't take care of them. I fostered them until 9 weeks and the Yolo Veterinary Clinic has come to my rescue and now has them and they will soon be up for adoption!

I made an appointment yesterday for today. I was pleasantly surprised to be given an appointment so quickly (it wasn't an emergency or urgent).
The clinic had been around for years, but it is clean and odor free. The benches are a bit uncomfortable but I didn't have to sit on them long.
The staff was very friendly and we had no wait time.
The MD came to see us within 5 minutes. She was very careful and caring towards my geriatric cat. I am very satisfied with the care we received here.
