Since 1997, Abel Pet Clinic has been serving the people and pets of Elk Grove, Sacramento and surrounding areas. Dr. Byam started her own practice because she wanted to create the kind of small animal private practice that is different from the bigger hospitals, one where you feel valued, one where you will see the same doctor who will know you and your family, and not just a steady stream of strangers. We are a family here, and we care for your pets like YOU do. In addition to offering cutting edge diagnostics and treatments, we also will work with your family and your budget to find the best solution that works for you and your family. We have been established in Laguna West before Elk Grove was even incorporated as a city, and have solid roots here. Dr Byam is a member of the Laguna Sunrise Rotary Club, and gives back to the local community and the world, wherever there is the greatest need. She also volunteers for local animal rescue groups and at Best Friends Animal Society, and offers free exams for pets adopted from the shelter. She also is working very hard at establishing a local animal shelter in Elk Grove. Dr Rabinowitz also in her spare time works at animal shelters and has her own non-profit rescue group, providing veterinary services to some of the poorest residents in Sacramento. We are here, we care, and we believe there is still a place among the bigger, more expensive corporate practices for a small private practice with a very big heart. Thank you for entrusting us with your pet's care! We are forever grateful for your ongoing support.

Dr. Byam and the entire Abel Team are absolutely amazing. We've been seeing them for many years now and every experience surpasses 5 star service. I must admit, I'm a difficult parent to deal with. I want only the best for my pet kids and I get it every time. Even when we just drop in with a rescue they do everything they can. We started with Abel with a pet who had been mis-diagnosed by another vet in Midtown Sac for over 2 years. Dr. Byam knew exactly what was wrong and our little son who'd been suffering for so long was cured within days. She even helped us through the tragedy of a fight with cancer for our oldest. I can't imagine having to go through that experience without her compassionate help. If you are looking for the best vet in California, look no further than Abel!

I Drive over an hour to use Abel Pet clinic

after I spent several thousand dollars on treatments for my Jack Russell terrier for a throat problem, including a couple of exploratory surgeries, I was in encouraged to check out ABEL pet clinic. Dr. Byam diagnosed the problem as simple gingivitis.teeth cleaning solved the problem.I trust Dr Byam with my Jack Russell and my cat, who tends to fight a lot.

I have been a client of Abel Pet Clinic since Dr. Byam took over the practice. Abel Pet Clinic has not only cared for my personal pets, but my many foster dogs through Pug Rescue of Sacramento, Pugsavers, and 4 R Friends. From adoption to the final appointment, Abel Pet Clinic has provided exceptional diagnostics, treatment, and general well-being to my animals. The entire staff has treated my pets with the love and care that they would provide their own personal animals. I am forever grateful to the compassion that I have experienced at Abel Pet Clinic for over a decade.

We've been going to Dr. Byam and the team at Abel for years now, after having a nightmarish experience with another vet. Dr. Byam has saved our dogs lives and health more times than I can count, and found problems that other vets had repeatedly missed. We have been through everything from injuries to cancer, and I don't know how we could make it without knowing that we could trust them help us through the tough times with our four-legged kids.

Don't Go Here!

Don't go here! I have been a loyal customer of Dr. Byam for about five years. I have had my doubts with how honest they have been, but have chosen to think the best of people instead. My first doubts started when my pug had infections in his ear. I went to her and had paid $500+ to get medication and exams, only for it to not work. A year or so later he started peeing blood. I went to her again and paid $700+ to get every kind of test done only to find out that we needed more tests and that they had not found out anything to be able to diagnose him. There has been several more incidences but am afraid of loosing your attention by writing too much. My point is that for every health issue I have taken my dog in for, I have NEVER had any correct diagnosis that cured his issue.



The straw that broke the camels back came when I asked to come in to get my dogs nails clipped. They said he would not be seen unless he had an exam. Being that he was healthy and that I didn't see how one pertained to the other, I said no thank you.



I am sure there are good veterinarians out there that do care about their clients well being and are not money hungry, but I am unsure that I can say that this rings true about Abel Pet Clinic.
