David Grant, DVM

I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have been referred to Dr. Grant. He is a unique and special person for sure, and a vet that makes me feel more comfortable than any I’ve met. Perhaps it was because he was in our home on a rainy evening, but I can imagine anywhere you meet this man he is fabulous. Five stars isn’t enough — because there is a feeling about this man that goes beyond.
Our cat went into quick decline (17 ½ years old) but not obvious like with our others, who had specific conditions. I had never met Dr. Grant but talked to him by phone to discuss what the situation was like. His voice, his advice, everything about that conversation made me know he was the person for the job — to come to our house when it was time to euthanize our cat.
When he did come — which was on a Friday night (that alone is amazing) — he was gentle, kind, supportive, non-​rushing, etc. We spent about 1 hour discussing the situation. We were with Cricket the whole time, Dr. Grant observing while my husband had to go through all the motions of being willing to let go of our buddy, our first kid. Dr. Grant never pressured us to do anything, but in the end helped us know for sure it was time.
The whole process of euthanizing a cat was very interesting (my first). I’d been through watching my cat die to sending another cat to the vet and not being able to be there as it happened to being 3000 miles away when suddenly another close one had to be taken to a clinic be a family member for us (that was very hard). This was a very peaceful, loving experience, petting Cricket the whole time, bonding, while knowing that the gentlest, kindest, must supportive vet was by our side. Gentle confidence.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Grant.
I originally contacted him because he makes house calls, and I wanted my kitty, who had a late-​stage nasal tumor, to be at home when she was put down. He was kind and compassionate, presenting different options, but not pressing me into a specific decision.
I’ve since used him twice to treat a different cat at home. His prices are very reasonable for a home visit, and he doesn’t push unnecessary treatments.
Highly recommended!

Dr. Grant is not only kind and compassionate, he is clearly extremely skilled and knowledgeable. He always provides with a range of carefully explained options and we have complete and utter faith in his judgment. He and Rich Hack have made the painful journey we took with our animals as they passed over the rainbow bridge immeasurably easier.

I would give Dr. Grant 6 stars or more if I could. He helped us say goodbye to our sweet boy dog the day after Christmas. A tough decision at any time, but especially at the holidays. He was the zen master in the entire situation, and I am eternally grateful for his kindness. He has also provided in-​home vet services for our other doggie, who is neurotic in vet clinics. We are so thankful to have connected with him, and I cannot sing his praises enough.

Dr. David Grant has been a godsend to my 2 cats and I. He works at Codornices (the best vet hospital in the Bay Area) and he also does house calls. He’s treated both of my cats for a few years and really understands their unique personalities, medical needs and of course, what makes them tick;) They ARE cats after all– what cat likes to be poked and prodded by a vet?
He’s done major dental work on both cats, just recently on one of them who had a bad reaction to the narcotics he was given. I was very concerned about my cat’s aggressive behavior to me and the medical symptoms he was showing and Dr. Grant immediately alleviated my concerns by explaining exactly what was happening and how to keep my cat calm and safe until the narcotics got out of his system. Did I mention he returned my phone call at 9pm, obviously, way after office hours. Such a kind and committed doctor.
Besides being amazing with cats he is also amazing with people. Very thorough and easy to talk to. He takes all the time you need to answer any questions and doesn’t rush through exams even when I know he’s really busy. He is a stellar doctor and I would highly recommend him to anyone. And the fact that he does house calls makes him all the more awesome!

3 times has Dr. Grant helped me when it was time to put my beloved

is always a difficult decision and it has been helpful to have someone so patient, compassionate and kind at my
has been so. much more comforting for my cats especially to have their last moments at home where they felt most comfortable. Thank you.

Dr. Grant helped me with one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. It was time to let my 15 year old dog go after a two year battle with cancer and heart disease. Dr. Grant was available to come to my home and help my beloved companion ease peacefully into the next realm, and then took his remains away for cremation. He handled the situation with sensitivity and compassion for which I am extremely grateful. Obviously, I wouldn’t wish the situation on anyone, but for anyone struggling with the same decisions, I would highly recommend Dr. Grant.

Dr. Grant helped us with one of the most difficult things we’ve ever done, putting down our old dog after her health went downhill quickly.
We found Dr. Grant through our normal vet, Codornices, and we’re so glad we did. I guess to sum it up… he was kind, gentle, and natural. He definitely made what was an incredibly difficult day a little bit easier. Thanks again.

Dr. Grant is extremely intelligent, thoughtful and effective. If you want a good vet, he is exceptional (so is Dr. Haack)

My 10-​pound terrier got his toes stuck in the tub drain during a bath. I don’t know how it happened, but it seemed like no one would help except for Dr. Grant (and Broadway Pet Hospital). Although Dr. Grant wasn’t prepared to make house calls today, he came over as soon as he was able, calmly administered a sedative, and he was eventually able to free my dog’s foot without ramification. (Mind you, our pup had been stuck for two hours.) Dr. Grant quickly and politely left our home afterward, and I only wish he would’ve stayed a bit longer so we could express our gratitude for his heroic feat.

Dr. Grant is a wonderful person. He graciously came to our home to euthanize our beloved 19 year old cat who was suffering from liver and pancreatic cancer. He was patient, soft-​spoken and gentle. He appeared and quietly left after providing the needed medications. I will be changing vet clinics as a result of the care he provided. Very grateful.

Dr Grant provided excellent care to my dog. He’s a compassionate professional.

Dr. Grant is fantastic. He has been taking care of our two cats for several years now, and he has been just great. He has treated them through illnesses, tooth removal, and the like.
His big advantage is that he will make house calls, to come to your house and treat your pet. This is great; one of our cats has always had a really tough time travelling to the vet (it is traumatic for her), so the fact that Dr. Grant makes house calls has been just wonderful. A much better experience for us.
Dr. Grant is thoughtful, explains what he is doing clearly, and he makes you feel that he’ll spend as long as you want to talk through any medical issues your pet may be facing. He’s been quite good with our cats, with a system that works well for keeping their anxiety low. Also, I really like that he is understanding of my preference to avoid unnecessary drugs for our cats and happy to explain the risks and benefits of each treatment.
Overall, just a fantastic experience. He’s pricey, but if you can afford him and are looking for someone to make house calls, I can highly recommend him.

Dr. Grant has been great in every way: knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate.
He has been visiting us at home annually for several years for routine check-​ups for our healthy older cat (who gets miserably motion sick in cars). He also did a tooth extraction for an abscess (and cleaning), putting our cat out while he worked on top of our dining take – all went well.
My mom also moved here with her 18-​year-​old cat not long ago. Dr. Grant helped manage the poor little guy’s kidney disease and thyroid problems. Some of the care near the end got a bit complicated, including subcutaneous as well as intramuscular injections. Dr. Grant was very helpful, training us to administer the shots and medications. He always e-​mails thorough documentation (e.g. lab results, recap of instructions). His warm «bedside manner» and guidance throughout our little guy’s ordeal was a tremendous help.
It’s really fortunate that there’s a vet willing to make house calls who is so «on the ball» and is also such a pleasure to interact with.

Dr. Grant followed me by phone as I struggled with a 13 year old Briard’s final illness. We we finally decided to let her go he came to the house.
When he left with our beloved pet to arrange cremation my husband said,“If you ever have to have me put down I want that guy”.
I would recommend him to anyone who faced this sad day.

Dr. Grant has cared for our two dogs and two cats over the past few years through house calls. He’s been kind, thoughtful and resourceful in dealing with their health issues.
Our beloved cocker spaniel developed cancer several years ago, and we decided against the aggressive treatment (radiation and chemo) suggested by a local specialist, since she was already 10 years old and it would have been too expensive for us as well. The specialist gave her around 6 months to live. Dr. Grant suggested and alternative approach that was financially feasible (simply removing the visible tumors), which combined with a special diet and supplements allowed her to live almost another two years! She died recently at 12, a pretty decent age for a cocker.
We’re very grateful for the thoughtful and resourceful care provided by Dr. Grant.

Doctor Grant is truly gifted with animals. He even makes house calls. I love him and my dog loves him. He is also e-​mail responsive!!!
The only ONE negative I complain about is that he doesn’t treat people too.

I feel pretty weird about reviewing health care providers, including vets, on this sort of review site, but I am so impressed with Dr. Grant that I can’t help but write one here.
Dr. Grant is definitely one of the best vets I have ever come across in the past two decades of owning animals. My cat wigs out pretty badly when I take her to the vet (they have to put her in «the box»), so my vet referred me to Dr. Grant when my cat had a health issue recently.
Dr. Grant arrived and was very professional, friendly, and calm. He knew just what to do to develop rapport with my cat in a small amount of time, and was able to fully examine her (which is a feat in itself). He answered all of my questions and gave appropriate recommendations about how I can best care for my cat, while simultaneously observing and taking note of my cat’s relevant behavior patterns. He was also honest about what treatments/​procedures would be relevant to do now versus later, which I appreciated since my budget right now is pretty much zero. Overall, Dr. Grant is one of the best health providers I have come across — he is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuine in his care.

Having a vet I trust is SO important to me — if you are besotted with your dogs like I am, you’ll understand — and David Grant has been my vet for years.
I have three dogs and have had dogs many years. Over the years, Dr. Grant has provided both mundane and heroic care, over and over. He saved my dog, Henry, with a blood transfusion, has put down a couple dogs at home, in my arms (and those of many friends), diagnosed weird conditions, and sent me on when some of those required a specialty.
Dr. Grant makes **house calls** This is the kind of medical care I wish I had for myself! It doesn’t cost more than going to the office and it’s less stressful for many animals.
***Call him at his house call mobile #: 510−499−9204***
I rely on Dr. Grant utterly regarding animal care. *And* he is a wonderful man and way cool. (I have not been paid, I’m not related or a friend, lol.)

Dr David Grant works through the Codornices Veterinary Clinic
in Albany, but he also makes HOUSE CALLS, often on his bicycle equipped with a fully equipped medical trailer! We have a high
strung dog who loved Dr. Grant immediately, and she gets routine exams and shots and loving care while sitting on her own bed.
Dr Grant is a very caring, calm and centered veternarian with an
unusual gift for tuning into animals, putting them at ease, and healing them.
10 stars for Dr. David Grant!!!
