How to Save on Veterinary Costs at NOLA Animal Clinic

Preventive care

I went here on 08/04/2023 for my cat. My cat has anxiety and is scared of everything. I walked in at 2pm and made an appointment for them to take us on the spot. I have to say that was the quickest appointment ever and we had our cat for about five years now and didn't know she was chipped. The adoption place didn't tell us and the vet in Kenner didn't tell us either. We wasn't in there for a full hour and they calmed her down so well. Me and my boyfriend was shocked. Registering your pet in to their system is $10 and between the two shots and exam, the four items cost $115. Don't let them being in a trailer fool you. The doctors and nurses and receptionist are all nice and they do their work with perfection. I know where I'm going now to bring my pets and I'll recommend this vet to everyone I know. This place is also affordable. 10 stars. 😻

These people are so nice! They took such good care of my pup. They went above and beyond taking care of my dog. They're our new vet!

So glad to have NOLA Animal Clinic in the east. It has become our go to place for our pets. They took care of us when our former pet Rico passed and now they take care of our daughter's pup Rue. Thank you all!

We've been going to NOLA Animal Clinic for more than 5 years now and couldn't have chosen a better vet. They've been able to see our dog on very short notice several times, have very convenient hours, and are always willing to work with our busy schedule. Our dog recently had a surgery there to remove a few masses and our vet was absolutely wonderful - he spent a great deal of time with us to help us make the necessary decisions and walked us through the treatment plan so we comfortable with everything. I never feel pressured to purchase unnecessary medicines or procedures, and think this business has a true love and respect for their patients (and their parents). What really sealed the deal for us is that our vet always spends a lot of time with us answering our many questions during every annual visit, loves on our dog, and will even give her smooches! Their prices are very fair, even less than the other vets we tried in New Orleans. I'd recommend NOLA Animal Clinic to anyone who loves their pets and are looking for a honest, caring team.
