I found ticks on my dog and of course started freaking out! I called the office and they were able to fit me in for an appointment and even got blood work done that was needed. I was so relieved that they were able to take care of her on such short notice!

The staff always treats the families, especially the pets, like old friends. Kind, thorough, and the Veteranarian always follows up after each visit. Wouldn't take my fur babies anywhere else.

Love coming here! They took great care of my cat and were so sweet to her. The doctor was great in explaining her findings and how to better care for my cat. Front desk was sweet and so was her vet tech Lisa. It's also very affordable after her initial visit with her rabies/distemper shots. I recommend this hospital to anyone in the area.

I had a great experience at Lake St. Animal Hospital. Easy to make an appointment & be seen for a wellness visit & rabies shot. My dog also developed a huge lump on his side & Dr. Walker quickly diagnosed him as having lymphoma which is just fat & not harmful. Very relieved! The staff was very welcoming & Dr. Walker was very personable & knowledgeable. I will definitely go back with a dog we just adopted! Thank you Dr. Walker!
