Had use their service for years. When my 18 year old dog was dying I begged them to help me. Their response was they didn't have time that day but I could wait until 6 pm when the emergency hospital off I 35 would open. I started calling every animal place I could and found one that if I brought her in right now they would do what that could. I will never recommend this place to anyone who loves their pets.

They don’t treat anxious, nervous dogs??! So they just like to see and charge the easy, mundane cases. That just goes to show how much they really care for your pets👎🏻

My fiancé called Lake Air on 8/22/2022 for my cat Milly under the pretense that Milly was mouth breathing, it was hard to breathe, and a runny nose. Upon hearing that the woman on the phone immediately got us in for an appointment on 8/23/2022. I can not lie I was worried given a previous bad experience at another clinic where we were just given temporary solutions and always left with more questions than answers for Milly. However upon going in I couldn’t have been more wrong. We were greeted warmly as if we were family! They took Milly back with my fiancé and were quick and courteous with all of their tests. Unfortunately Milly’s X-Ray results showed that she has fluid all in her lungs and has FIP, so sadly we will have to put her to sleep on 8/24/2022. Of course we are devastated, however not once were we rushed out, talked to as if we needed to leave and pay, they gave us all the time we needed to gather our thoughts enough on where to go next. From entry to exit the staff treated me and my fiancé as if we were family and gave us warm welcomes and exits. From now on I will be using Lake Air for my 2 other cats. Thank you to the entire team for everything you did today and for finally giving us answers about Milly. I could not be more grateful for you all. Thank you all for allowing me one more night with my babygirl. You guys saw her at her sickest, I would like to introduce you to her when she was at her best.
