Lake Worth Animal Clinic

These people are the sweetest, kindest souls. We had to bring my 13 year old German shepherd, Venus, in to have her put down as she could barely get around anymore due to painful arthritis. The staff at Lake Worth Animal Clinic was so kind and gentle with her (and with us, quite frankly) that I don't know that I would trust anyone else to help my pets out in their last moments. They took their time. The vet sat on the floor with us. She let Venus lay her head on her all the way until it was over, and then she placed her head ever so gently on the blanket. She let us know that we could take as long as we wanted/needed with Venus and that there was no rush for us to leave, which felt comforting because it gave us time to grieve and say our goodbyes, remove her collar, etc. Like I said, we were all treated so respectfully - even Venus in her last moments. Love this staff.

We've been using Lake Worth Animal Clinic since we adopted our first puppy (about 3-4 years ago). They've always been pretty good about getting us in for an appt when needed for minor medical issues, and had great service. Very decently priced for those minor issues, and a quick in an out visit. This most recent array of visits have been troubling. Our GS lost a toenail and had an exposed quick, which got infected badly. We took her to the vet and the visit was fine, no issues. They got us antibiotics and treated her. Within the next month, she lost another toenail on the same foot, and had 2 others that were barely hanging on, which also got infected. We took her back and the vet was not going to remove her barely hanging on toenails, which were causing her great discomfort due to rubbing against the quick. We had to ask the vet to come back to the room and take another look to consider removing them. He finally agreed to remove one of the nails, keeping the other one there. Mind you, by this point, she only had one nail remaining on that foot. The others (including the dewclaw), had all fallen off/were removed. We were concerned that something else was going on, due to multiple nails falling off. And, when we trimmed her nails that week before taking her back, we saw pus coming out from another paw's nail. We brought our concerns to the dr, who stated that "if it happens again, we will consider something else going on". She's already lost 4 nails by this point, what do you mean?? lol. Well, we took her home with the antibiotics, and those nails seemed to be healing fine. Now, fast forward about 2 weeks, a nail on her back foot is infected. So now, instead of having answers last time we took her, we have to pay for ANOTHER visit. We are definitely finding a better place to take her going forward. We need answers to find out what kind of chronic condition she has. Just to be clear, the other staff were exceptional. They are very kind and show compassion, and were on our side when we questioned the vet.

The new vet Dr. Banoub is great. He is very through and knowledgeable. All team are friendly and nice. They always take a good care of my dog. Prices are fair and reasonable.

On the 1st visit for my kitten I was welcomed and treated as if he was as important as a long time patient. After just the 1 visit he's doing wonderful. I appreciate so much the kindness and expertise we received.

Friendly staff, but if ur dog has allergy troubles they’re going to charge U treatment by the pound.. so if U have a heavy dog U pay more more for allergy treatments. 150$ treatment vs the 40$ treatment at the vet in azle? This place just wants money.
