I don’t typically like to post reviews like this, but I take my pet’s care very seriously and felt it was important to share my experience. While I believe this clinic is ok for routine vaccine care, I wouldn’t recommend it for more complex issues. During my visit, I raised concerns about my dog possibly having an ear infection. The veterinarian briefly looked at his ears and, said it was “not necessary to perform an ear cytology” because there was no “visible infection”. I was advised to find a groomer to have his ears plucked and to use vinegar for earwax maintenance. I paid $300 for this visit for the vet to not even properly examine his ears. Upon doing research vinegar disrupts the pH balance in the ears and can cause irritation. I am glad I followed my instincts as this advice was unprofessional. I took my dog to another vet, where they performed an ear cytology and found that he had a yeast infection in one ear and both yeast and bacteria in the other. I’m relieved I sought a second opinion, as following the initial advice could have made the situation worse. I don’t appreciate the clinic’s approach that performing basic and standard tests is not necessary, and not properly examining it’s patients. I feel more thorough examinations and proper diagnostics should be offered when concerns are raised. I hope this feedback helps improve the care provided for other pets in the future.

I have been going to Dr. Hanes for over 20 years. It’s a family business and we get treated like it. My pets have been getting excellent care because Dr. Hanes really does his profession for the animals and not just for the money!

Dr. Sam is amazing! Only taking one pet at a time in the office is a god send as my boy is not always the best behaved with other animals. When he is sick he can tend to get snappy and all the staff here don't take offense, nor do they fault him for acting instinctually. Dr. Sam answered all my questions and read the ingredients on all my products to okay them before use. Hands down the best vet around.

Dr Sam is a treasure, providing the service your pet needs without frivolous tests that drastically increase the fee.
He is truly in it for the pets.

This post is from Honey & Gunner Nork.My family thanks you for taking good care of us all year and actually for many many years and many pet family members. You are very kind and caring. The news is not always good but it is delivered with compassion and love so it makes the medicine go down easier. I would recommend this business if you love your pets.

Dr. Hanes and his staff have been caring for our pets for over 20 years! He is extremely knowledgeable and takes excellent care of each of them. The office schedules very well. It is rare that there is anyone else (customer/pet) in the office when we arrive. We always have a great experience when we visit. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Dr. Sam is an amazing human being. He's kind, he's gentle, he's knowledgeable, and he listens. His vet techs are unfailingly pleasant and helpful and seem to enjoy their jobs. I would recommend Davis Lake Animal Hospital to anyone I know without hesitation. Thank you for taking care of my furbabies, Dr. Sam!

They’re the best, our family has been seeing them through many pets over many years. We moved much further away and tried another vet, but quickly realized driving back here is well worth it. Really like Dr Sam. He’s down to earth and reasonable.

We have been using this vet for 10 years. They have always been personable, professional and compassionate. They are readily available to assist when any issues arise. My dog loves the staff and is always anxious to enter the office. Not sure if it's the doctor or the treats because they come hand in hand ?
