VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital

Dr. Athey and team are so wonderful with my cat who has a difficult time with the vet. I am always met with professionalism, understanding, and comfort. I highly recommend this place as a primary pet care provider. I would not trust anybody else with my cat’s health! Edit: my dogs actually get excited to be here

Dr Curren and team are the best and take great care of our huskies. I really appreciate how patient the staff is with them because they are a high energy breed. We've been to other vet offices in the past where that wasn't the case. This hospital also caught a mast cell tumor on our male husky's eyelid at age 5. They helped refer us to a great special ist so we could get him treatment quickly. I am so happy that Lakewood has a great local animal hospital so close to home.

I was very impressed with this clinic. Every employee greeted me and made me feel welcome. They showed empathy toward my cat and made sure we were both comfortable. My cat received excellent care after she broke her foot. The staff made sure I understood how to change her splint and would be able to do so in the proper manner. Another outstanding quality of this clinic is how hygenic the facility is. The rooms are uber clean and it shows they truly care about their patients and owners.

Clancy (our cat) and I had a great experience at LAH today! It was our first time in and we will definitely be back. Beth and Michelle were very gentle, kind, and professional. I’m grateful to them for listening to my concerns and providing me with multiple solutions and explanations. As far as vet visits go, I think Clancy was appreciative as well! Thank you LAH!

I actually started with this clinic because I followed my vet from another location. My dog had an emergency 10 days ago where the tip of her ear almost got cut off. We went to the emergency hospital. I scheduled the stitch removal at vca, which is my typical vet. My husband took her in, the nurse took our dog back removed the stitches, came back out and said it does not look good and to take her back to the clinic that did the removal. This is 5:30 pm. When I called back and said why did you remove them if a doctor appointment was required and she said that's what we made an appointment for and their were no doctors available. You have to book weeks out for a regular appointment, and seems sort of crazy to me to take stitches out and just turn us away. Would have been easier to just say we can't take her, take her back to where she came from. Super bummed, but with that level of customer service and concern, I can't go back. Definitely felt judgment all around as to how it happened.
