Welcoming, staff. Professional, knowledgeable, caring and true animal lovers. The place is clean (spotless). The doctor performed a thought initial examination. She was knowledgeable and explained in detail how to take care of my 10 weeks old puppy along with behavior modification and diet recommendations. I'm telling all my friends about Towne South Animal Hospital, in simple words a Great place.

Dr. Mackey and her staff took very good care of my baby during his surgery, and calmed all my anxieties. Today I did a follow up on his dental surgery and the Vet said he has healed very well. Thank you Dr. Mackey and staff.

Report
DON'T BOARD YOUR DOGS HERE! There are far better places in Shreveport! I boarded my two large dogs from Friday evening to Monday morning (because they won't let you pick up on Sundays) and I was outraged by what happened in the short amount of time. I paid extra for the "luxury" experience for my dogs which allows for 24 hour webcam, so I was able to observe what happened. Additionally, the vet clinic doesn't tell you that they will only check on the dogs during business hours (8-5:30).
One of the techs that checked on my dogs never refilled their water bowl so they went upwards of 14 hours without water. My dogs were also not feed twice daily as requested. The extra money I paid was to include off leash time for them 5ish times a day and every time they were let out they were only out a couple minutes. The maximum amount of time they were out of the run was 5 minutes on Sunday morning.
The techs took their blankets out of the room and never put them back. Also, on Monday morning they shut the webcam off. With all of this happening, the vet clinic doesn't have a contact number for over the weekends so there was nothing I could do to help my dogs.

Dr. April Mackey is the best. She takes wonderful care of my 15 year old fur baby. I wouldn't take her anywhere else.
