Cottage Lake Veterinary Hospital

I recently took my Corgi in deeply stressed because she was sick. Cottage Lake Vet took us in right away if I left her there. The vets themselves always answer the phone calls and questions I had. I love this vet. The cost is a little more.

All of the staff at CL are wonderful. I'm never rushed, and they are very thoughtful and thorough. They will often follow up after visits to make sure all is going well. I've also been able to get an appointment on short notice if needed. I highly recommend!

We have been going to cottage lake vet since they literally opened I am guessing about 30 years ago! Since this practice was sold a few years ago it has become increasingly evident they are all about profit and NOT about the best interest of the animals!! I am extremely dissapointed in the foul turn this place has taken! For an example they would not refill my dogs insulin perscription unless he came in for a wellness check.. he is 16 diabetic, mostly blind and deaf... he is not well... but okay! We brought him in and I kid you not they tried to sell us on a freaking tooth cleaning! For $2,500!! This dog wouldn't even survive being put under for the procedure! I call to ask about a quick vaccine and they want a full "check up" in order to do one shot.. it is like $175 for the check up. Shots are more even tho he is completley healthy. It is ridiculous... I have spent sooooo much money there over the years since we have always had special needs animals and now they are trying to nickle and dime... just want to say this was NOT an issue when the previous owners were in charge! If we needed a simple refill we didn't have to pay a ton for a needless visit! today however was when I finally said enough is enough!! I called and asked if they could donate even a few bandages for the animal burn victims of Maui since I work with one hand in hand and am sending out a big package of supplies... they literally said it was not in their budget to do anything for anyone... wow! Gross! Selfish and completley ridiculous! Anyone that has gone to cottage lake vet and paid their bills knows they are not hurting for any kind of income! Also every single other vet I have talked to has donated something... says a lot about their character...I removed all my animals from their care today and will be telling all my friends and clients I have reccomended over the years to do the same!

Was told one price over the phone and charged another. ...more ..with apologies. If you still go there make, sure you ask ( as its happening) if its extra and what the price is BEFORE they do any work .... Get your pet medications from Costco. Watch your $$$ UPDATE 9/6 /23 : I requested a refill for the prescription they had just given me for my dog's , Bailey's ear issues: 1) they never indicated (when they gave me the prescription) how many drops were to go in each ear ear...I had to call to find out. 2) the bottle they gave me had an insufficient quantity to complete the administration, I ran out in 5 days 3) the Off MGR( ? ) said I was administering it incorrectly..which I wasn't FINALLY Cottage Lake Veterinary Hospital would not refill my prescription because of my on line bad ( originally submitted Review, above) and, would no longer service Bailey citing a "lack of trust in their ( Cottage Lake ) care" and their office management. By the way .. at first didn't have a record of my request ...but finally found it ... Duhhh. I leave it to the readers to decide whether to use Cottage Lake Vet ..I WON'T

We had been going to another veterinarian practice for several years and the practice started to feel like a machine. It was to busy, to chaotic, to impersonal and to pricy. Our daughter referred us to Cottage Lake Veterinary Hospital. The atmosphere of the office is wonderful. The staff is genuine and very attentive. The veterinarians are knowledgeable and professional. You just know that you are in good and competent hands. You can feel it. This is a good practice. Give them a chance!!
