Here's what my breeder friend has to say:

"Absolute best in the area is Bradshaw vet in Elk Grove. I wouldn't go anywhere else if its something important. For regular shots etc any one in Lodi or Woodbridge is fine, but for anything more than that, Bradshaw. Dr Parvin, Dr Gray, Dr Wence, Dr Petrunich are my favorites but ...all of them are great. ( 916) 685 2494. "

So, what brings you from Chicago to Lodi? It's not exactly a booming metropolis.

With any vet service, you need to be proactive, and double check what anyone says. Bradshaw vet, like many other vet clinics, promotes a very aggressive vaccination protocol. Individual vets may have varying recommendations, but this is something that you should do your homework on and be assertive about your opinion.

I have gone to Bradshaw vet for years. They have good vets and not so good vets. They have been bought out by VCA, so their policies have changed and they are now more expensive, but they do have a great range of services. My most favorite vet is there, but only on Tuesdays, so that doesn't work so well.

In Lodi, they have a great K9 chiropractor that I have brought my dogs to for over 10 years. I have just started working with a trainer there in Galt, not far away from Lodi at all. She has quite a bit of experience with GSDs, and may also be a good resource. Her name is Julia Priest.

Good luck!

That's who gave me the recommendation for Bradshaw.

I took a job in Modesto. My wife will be looking for a job in Sacramento.

After 8 years in the city of wind I'm tired of the winters.

I am actually originally from So Cal; Corona specifically.

Lodi is a hop, skip and jump from the bay, from napa, and from tahoe. I'll take it.
