I’ve been bringing my cats to BLVD Vet for about a year and highly recommend them. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, especially with cats, and always listens with empathy. My cats have seen Dr. Bean and Dr. Grant, and both have been wonderful, kind, and great with my cats. When one of my cats needed emergency care for a cruciate ligament injury at MedVet (which BLVD Vet recommends), they made it easy to share records and continue his care. One of my cats, Arthur, especially loves the staff. He loves going to the vet (he’s the one happily sitting on the vet table with toys). Also special shout out to the folks who always are so responsive via text! Y’all rock.

I brought my cat to BLVD Vet for a check-up and she was treated exceptionally. The staff was extremely friendly and professional and all of my questions and concerns were answered. I definitely recommend BLVD Vet!

I cannot say enough great things about the entire team here, and particularly Dr. Bean. I first brought my 14 year old cat Mittens to BLVD with what I thought was dental issues hindering her appetite, but it turned out to be end-stage CKD. Although the diagnosis was incredibly heartbreaking, I couldn’t think of a better team to help guide us through end of life care. They were incredibly patient and kind when I cried my eyes out over the phone, and when I would bring Mittens in and she would be a little feisty. The wonderful techs here at BLVD taught me how to administer SubQ fluids at home - which Mittens grew to love and actually look forward to - and they were so gentle with her in the treatment room. Dr. Bean would explain everything going on with Mittens in a way I could understand, and was incredibly knowledgeable. It’s been a month since Mittens crossed the rainbow bridge, and while I’m certainly not getting another cat anytime soon, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I do I will be coming right back here. Thank you for everything this team has done for Mitties.

I absolutely love this place! My dog was having issues with his back or joints, and I couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong. He was in pain, so I called in, and they were able to fit me in within a two-hour window. The staff was professional, and the clinic was super clean. They provided top-notch care without pushing unnecessary treatments. The vet prescribed medication that helped my dog heal without the need for any surgery. Now, just two days later, my dog is already recovering well. I’m so thankful for their quick action and excellent service!

We just had our first visit with our 10-year-old cat, and we are blown away by the warmth and professionalism displayed here. Our financial situation isn't great, so we were hesitant but he needed care. They were so understanding, and went our of their way to work with us on what we could afford, while letting us know what they'd like to do for him if and when we can afford it. The doctor we saw was someone who fills in there on days off, and I have to say she was among the best vets I've dealt with for many years. Kind, patient, and sent us home with a bill we could manage and a game plan to try as a first line of defense. Everything was outlined with full transparency and details, allowing us to make the best choices we could today, without the sudden shock of an overwhelming bill. We felt heard, supported and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and professional team. Everyone from the person who answered my initial phone call (Brooke) to the vet (Dr. Smetana) and assistant in the room (so sorry, I didn't get her name!) were all wonderful. They even sent us home with a sample of one of the treatments, to help keep our cost down. That's a rare level of compassion, and it's so deeply appreciated. Their primary focus has been on helping our little Magic cat, all the way. This place is a gem, and we will be back. Thank you, BLVD Lakeview staff! You made this beleaguered cat mama and papa so happy.
