I think this experience was a one-off because my boyfriend always has a great experience when he brings our pup. I took my dog this time for a quick nail trim and vaccination so that we could apply for City Bark membership. The receptionists (there were 4, maybe even 5) all seemed available when I walked in, but none greeted me. I greeted them, checked in, and was told where to wait. Although my dog usually has no fear or issues with vet visits, the last time my dog came here for his annual visit, my boyfriend said the (inexperienced?) tech had to make many "stabs" while drawing blood. So this time, as we waited, I watched my dog become increasingly stressed and tucking his tail in fear. A woman wearing a mask came out from the clinic to get us, and I told her my dog was really scared. She was quiet, not reassuring at all, and started to take the leash from me, so I asked, "Am I not coming back with him?" She said, "No." I was shocked and upset but sat back down as she dragged my terrified dog to the back. I could see partially where she had him stand on the scale but then they were out of sight for the next 10-15 minutes. I got angry as I waited but since it was a quick vaccine visit and not really a full-on appointment, I didn't push the issue or demand to be with my dog. They brought him back out after about 10 minutes. I again stood waiting at reception while the staff ignored me until someone from the back asked if I needed to check out. I frankly could have just walked out without paying, it seems. The charges were very affordable, and service was quick. Next visit, I will absolutely demand that I not be separated from my dog, especially if he's freaked out.

I like this place because it’s low cost of course but they don’t remind you when your animal is sue for shots you’re kind of on your own so it’s up to you if saving money is worth risking missing your loved pets important shots.

I've been taking my Border Collie Buddy here for about a year and a half. He will be 15 this May. The folks here are great and the service they provide meets all of Buddy's needs.

If you think you might be sacrificing quality of care for cheaper vet prices, that's absolutely not true with Low Cost Animal Medical Center. I went through about 4 vets before finding LCAMC: in the Garden District, Metairie, Mid-City, and Uptown. Most of them were good, but the cost was double or triple the prices at LCAMC. Their facilities are top of the line. The staff are extremely smart, kind, and considerate. The vetrinarians and surgeons are excellent and efficient; I have never seen better stitching on a pet after surgery. Low Cost Animal Medical Center will work with you to find every possible solution for your pet. If you live in Jefferson Parish, spay/neuter is about $15. If you live in Orleans Parish, it's still half the cost of any other vet at about $100. Bring a utility bill from Jefferson Parish to make sure you get the subsidized rate. This vet office truly loves animals, and they genuinely want to make a positive difference in the world. They are successful in that mission.
