“We moved to New Orleans and were struggling to find a vet we liked, but we love love love the team at Lakeview.
We have two French Bulldogs which always comes with extra complications/vet bills and Dr. Goldman and Dr. Guichard are both incredibly helpful with brachycephalic dog breed specific issues. They really go the extra mile to make sure your pet is taken care of and they are also aware of avoiding extra costs.
We have done our routine care with them as well as two surgeries, can’t recommend them enough.”
“They are amazing, I have been going to Prytania Vet for over a decade, you cannot imagine how kind and patient they are with me every single time. They are wonderful caring vets and staff. Very compassionate care of my dear cat who died and guiding me through adopting a new kitten with every kitten health problem possible. I have seen almost every vet here and they are all excellent, the staff is extremely kind.”
“I'm the person that always wants to stick with one doctor (for myself as well). However, at CCVH, that is not the case. I feel confident and comfortable with each doctor. They all take the time to get to know the patient and their human and it is evident that they care. I never feel rushed and they always take the time to answer any and all questions. Whenever asked about a vet, I jump to recommend CCVH!”
“Thank you Dr Bret and staff for taking care of Pussboy. We just moved to the French Quarter and how wonderful there is an awesome Vet Clinic blocks away from our home with amazing doctors and staff. Highly recommend. And know they are kind and Dr Bret is thorough, communicates well and gives options if there are some. We appreciated the explanation what each test would determine in helping diagnose our furry child.”
“Have been bringing my cat Salem to Canal St Vet for five years. We’d tried a couple other vets in town when he started having itchy skin issues and he was diagnosed with everything from fleas (another vet kept insisting this was his problem despite him being on meds and my never seeing a flea- I was vaccuuming my house five times a day freaking out) to anxiety. When we finally came to Canal St Vet they got him on prescription allergy-friendly food and a medicine called Atopica. It worked for a while and when it stopped we tried shots, also worked a charm then stopped, and finally we tried an oral pill that works perfectly and has been for years!! I will never forget how grateful I was to the vets for helping us trouble shoot instead of just dismissing us with flea or anxiety medicine. Watching him finally have relief is the best thing ever!
He also is FIV+, and had his back hip joint removed back when I first adopted him from the SPCA, and he’s also EVIL at the vet lol. They always handle him with care, treat him with all of his special needs in mind, and are sooooooo sweet to him and love him so much even when he is trying to attack. Lots of churus and reassuring words at the vet and it’s as painless as possible.
All of the front desk people and vet assistants are SO sweet, you can tell they all just adore animals. I’ve never waited more than five minutes for my appointment and they are super efficient. There’s also a rescued pigeon in the front which I love and think speaks to their care for animals <3
I moved to Florida for two years and struggled to find a vet office that matched this, I was so happy to return here when me and my kitty cat moved back!! 11/10 recommend it here!!”
“From the moment we walked into the office my girl Lana was greeted with such care and love from the staff….she felt this energy herself and with her feeling unwell for a couple weeks now….she gave happy ears and smiled at them…..then when we saw the vet he listened to me and I felt heard…..so if this is what your looking for in a vet like I do I recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“All three of our dogs go to Metairie Small Animal Hospital, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they receive. Dr. Joe, Jana, Kyle, Kaylee, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and truly make us feel like family. Our dogs always receive exceptional care. Highly recommend! ??”
“My partner and I recently moved from Los Angeles to Nola and needed to establish care for our senior cat, Oliver. I am so grateful we found the Cat Practice in Nola. Dr. Dodson and her team were so kind and patient! As an anxious cat parent with high expectations for his care, the Cat Practice really put my mind at ease. I can’t say enough thanks to Dr. Dodson and my vet tech, Ms. Tabitha, for being so kind and working so well with Oliver. Having a clinic dedicated to just cats truly makes a huge difference. The whole team (including the amazing front staff) were very thorough and communicative. The attention to detail and kindness ensures me that I’ve found the perfect clinic for him!”

“We have been coming to Carrollton vet with our dog since our old vet(s) retired, after we searched for years for another amazing private vet practice. Dr Algero is caring and knowledgeable. He is patient in explaining what he believes might be going on, the tests (if any) necessary, next steps, any meds he thinks might help, side effects, etc, and always a clear explanation of why and our options. Vets like Dr Algero are the best - they only care about what's best for your pet and work with you all the way. They are walk-in only, but they are clear about that and they let you know if there's a long wait (emergency ahead of you) or other factors. Their rates are very reasonable imo. I know they treat her well and compassionately when she goes to the back with them, which is important to us. His assistants (Nester & Jerry) are involved, always gentle and greet Belle so she's never balked at going back or being handled by them. They are prompt answering their phones, return calls when they say they will and Pam at the front desk always gets me whatever documentation I need when I ask.”
“This is the best MSAH clinic! I moved across town and tried going to one of the other clinics, but ended up coming back because Dr. Rene is amazing. He always takes the time to explain what’s going on, go through options and next steps, and I leave feeling informed and reassured. Highly recommend!”
“I came to Dr. Hess a couple years ago after receiving subpar emergency care at another animal hospital and have stuck with MidCity Vet ever since! I love that they are dog AND cat people. They went above and beyond, without prescribing useless treatments just to run up the tab. Can’t recommend them enough!”

“I’ve had nothing but a great experience here! The staff is so nice and friendly! It’s so affordable and I would recommend! Turkey, my dog, was found on the street with a broken leg and they took her in and amputated her leg. The staff remember her every time she comes in and it’s so welcoming! Turkey may have a different review, but I personally love it here!”
“I’ve had the absolute privilege of my dogs being under the care of Dr. Nicole Larroque at DeSoto Park Veterinary Clinic, and I can say with full confidence that she is an exceptional veterinarian. She’s cared for all three of my French Bulldogs — Otie, Clovis, and now Dozier — each with unmatched compassion and professionalism.
Dr. Nicole only saw Otie a few times before he passed suddenly from heart failure at the age of 16. Even in those brief visits, her gentle and attentive care brought me peace during a heartbreaking time.
My second, Clovis, was under her care for several years. Every single time I opened the car door at the clinic, he would pull me straight to the entrance — tail wagging, if he had one, excited to see the staff. That kind of reaction speaks volumes about the warmth and kindness he experienced there. When Clovis was later diagnosed with lung cancer at age 16, Dr. Nicole guided me through that painful chapter with such grace and empathy. Looking back, I can honestly say I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to walk me through the journey of letting him go.
Now, I’ve begun a new chapter with my rescue pup, Dozier, who’s just a year old. He’s brought a new set of challenges, both medical and behavioral, that I’ve never faced before with any of my dogs. But once again, history repeats itself — I feel more than confident having Dr. Nicole by our side. With her and the incredible staff supporting us, I know that whatever comes up, we’re in the very best hands.
There are many great veterinarians in New Orleans — but Dr. Nicole isn’t one of them. She’s something more. She walked beside us through joy, illness, and even heartbreak. And when you combine that kind of compassion with her medical knowledge and skill, there’s no question — the spotlight belongs on her. She truly stands above the rest.”
“It is my pleasure to write this review. The team at VCA Algiers has exceptional customer service. They go above and beyond in making sure their patients and their parents get the support they need. Dr. Saunders is so kind and compassionate and Deidra in the front office is such an amazing human. Thank you VCA Algiers for taking such wonderful personal care of my Dad and his pup. Robin S.”
“Very knowledgeable vets. Willing to work with you on expenses. All staff is friendly and loves animals. We live in Gentilly and make the drive cause our animals love them and they have not done us wrong on any treatment.”
“Words can't say how well Dr. Miller and her staff treated my beloved Dante from the time he was a puppy until the day I had to say goodbye. I'm not ready to get another dog yet but you can be sure that when that day comes, I will choose her practice again.”

“We had moved from Florida and this was our first visit. Staff were very attentive and copied all our notes from previous vet.
The vet spent a long time with us discussing various options for our chihuahua's shedding and skin issues.
We really felt the entire office cared and feel we were lucky to pick this practise.”
“Dr. DeCosta was able to diagnose the root cause of my Shih-Tzu’s eye condition by conducting a thorough examination. He took his time taking detailed notes and explained the prognosis with realistic expectations. I was anxious about the cost of service only to be surprised at check-out with a reasonable bill. The location is convenient and peaceful, which can be a godsend when dealing with a sick pet. Will bE my home base for Choco’s eye health.
UPDATE: Choco's eyes continue to heal under Dr. DeCosta's care. No invasive treatment was needed; but if it had been - I'd feel comfortable trusting Dr. DeCosta with care. Professional and focused vet. His priority is the animal's comfort, and that is priceless.”

“Dr. Becky, Amber Lynn, and the young woman at reception Saturday, 1/25, when I brought my 14-year-old dog in for emergency services, were an absolute Godsend! They were all so patient, kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate! I couldn't have asked for better care for my pup, or myself, in such a gut-wrenching situation! I feel blessed to have found them and will continue to trust them with the care of my beloved pets!”
“Excellent service
Very friendly
I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and the cleanliness of the office. I highly recommend Dr. Snacks.”
“Absolutely love this team! The lovely receptionist (forgot her name) checked me in with ease! ( While answering multiple phones and check ins plus people in lobby- management girl needs a raise and a new title as CSR supervisor)
Sara our technician was kind, funny and gave me the confidence to hand over my little Luna Lovegood ?. Sara thank you for everything you rock!
Dr.Adams has great bedside manner and talks everything out with you making you feel very confident in him and his team!
Thank you VCA! We will see you Friday for her spay!! ???????”
“I was rescheduled from the Metairie location twice and was sent to this one, they were awesome and super friendly as a first time pet parent. They were completely transparent with everything they were charging me for and kept me updated rather than slapping everything on a bill at once.”
“I am so thankful I found Southern Animal Foundation. From the first to the last step both me and my dog were treated so well. I was able to get an appointment within days and the whole staff went above and beyond to make sure not only my pet, but also my life was important. The whole staff was SO kind and caring, straightforward and super understanding. If I ever need help again in the future I'll definitely be going back.”
“Had such a good experience Antoine was the best treated my mags and bean with so much care and they are very affordable!!!!! Definitely go here for your pets needs”
“Cash is a small miniature schnauzer. He can be nervous when he goes to the vet. This time he was very relaxed, even when he was given his medication/ shots. The staff are very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The Veterinarian was very gentle and informative. I highly recommend the practice.”
