Everyone is so nice and thorough when working with you and your pets to ensure you understand what is happening, how much it will cost, and potential next steps. I brought in my old man Dawg for some digestive issues, and they immediately jumped on checking him out and were on top of staying proactive and trying to figure out what was going on. We ended up doing outpatient for the day, with Dawg staying there while they ran tests and monitored him. As we arrived at the end of the day to pick him up, the timing was perfect with him finishing up his last round of fluids, and everyone was so nice and helpful with explaining everything that had been done, why, and what we could do to at home to ensure his recovery as well as what to look for in the event he needed to come back. They were happy to answer all my questions, and insisted that I call back if anything else came up. My dog was super happy and well taken care of, and they loved him! He's doing much better now, thank you ladies!

Our Scottie groomer moved out of town this past year, so she had recommended to us Sarah who knows how to do a Scottie cut! Sarah worked well with our schedule and has done an excellent job with getting my dog the right Scottie look! The front desk is also very friendly and makes sure my schedule is up to date.

I had a great experience coming here with my dog Berkeley! He gets very nervous and high anxiety for vet appointments and in the past was never able to get shots without getting sedated. The staff took the time and care to make sure he felt comfortable and distracted to where he did not even feel his shots! I was very happy and will be returning. :)

We're so happy we went to Eastlake Veterinary! They really helped our dog, Lucy! They diagnosed and treated the causes, rather than just the symptoms. Outstanding, very caring, helpful, and friendly staff.

I cant say enough good about this vet clinic. The vet techs are the greatest and Dr. Emily is truly the best. I brought Gracie in this morning for an evaluation before surgery and Dr. Emily remembered her from years ago and was so excited to see her again. Every single member of the staff here are so professional, accessible and just have the very best interest of our pets. Dr. Emily thank you and your great crew for taking g such great care!
