Lawndale Veterinary Hospital

I loved Lawndale Vet. But I can tell you the moment it changed for me. Sometime in December 2025, Dr. Tricia Burnett left the practice. No warning at all to her long-time patients. This is when it changed. I am acutely aware of this because a few months earlier she had walked me through the fatal heart condition of my rat terrier. And she know rat terriers because she has one. And I was so glad to have her with me, alongside on this journey, as we ented into my dogs last stage of life and a treatment plan. And then Dr. Burnett was just gone. No warning, nothing. I found out when I showed up for my next appointment. And since then I and my three pets have been bounced around between vets labeled Dr. Staff Veterinarian on appointments. No consistentcy. And the brother to my elderly rat terrier also got ill, and the service has been atrocious. I have been told by one of these visiting vets how much they typically don't like rat terriers. I have been told I have to wait for "my" visiting vet to come back on rotation to interpret test results before meds are prescribed for a sick dog until the next day (the results were there) because it was now 5:00 and the new permanent vet wanted to leave (I got this in a text), evne though I had called earlier that day for results and was told I would have them. So I'm just sad. I have two elderly dogs who have received 10 years of really great care from Dr. Burnett, but now that they are dying, Lawndale Vets is turning their back on them.

We are extremely thankful for the Dr and all the staff at Lawndale Veterinary hospital. Having a dog with a chronic illness, they always take extra good care of our Charlie!!! If you are looking for a place that truly loves your fur babies - then this is the office for you!

Lawndale continues to provide exemplary medical care to my pets. I have been a client since 1996 and over the years, I know all our animals have been very well cared for. I would recommend them highly!

Disappointed with Grooming Experience We’ve been bringing our Bernese Mountain Dog here for over a year for vet care and have always had positive experiences on that side of things. We've also used the bathing and brushing services a few times without issue. However, our recent experience with grooming was unfortunately very disappointing. Before the appointment, we met with the groomer and were very clear that we wanted a trim, not a shave. As anyone familiar with this breed knows, their double coat should be maintained properly, and shaving is not typically recommended. We felt confident going in, but that’s not what happened. We dropped her off at 8:30 AM, and didn’t hear anything until 2:30 PM, when we were told they were just about to begin grooming. It was very concerning to learn she had been waiting in a kennel for six hours before anyone even started on her. When we picked her up at 4:30 PM, we were surprised and upset by the result. The grooming did not resemble what we had discussed, and her coat was uneven and patchy — nothing like a professional groom. More concerning, she came home limping, and we’ve since contacted the vet to look into an issue with her back leg. We’ve had good experiences with the vet team here, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend the grooming services. The lack of communication, the results, and the potential injury have left us with serious concerns. Below are before (left) and after photos (right)

Originally came to this vet for our 2 cats a year ago and then recently added our new puppy, Butters. They love Dr. Peters! They always schedule very quickly and close to when you need to get your pet in. A little pricier compared to other vets I have been to in the area, but it’s worth the care they give.
