Dawson Forest Animal Hospital

My son recently brought in his puppy for a possible obstruction in his stomach and was hoping to get the help needed but ended up leaving frustrated with no answers as to what was exactly wrong. He was very upset with how unprofessional the vet was and how he didn’t seem too concerned about the issues the puppy was having. My son ended up having to rush his puppy to a different vet the next day, who immediately jumped into action and recognized how serious this was and in a matter of minutes saw a blockage on the X-ray that was sent over from this vet! He had to have emergency surgery to save his life, which could have been prevented if this vet would have taken the necessary precautions and actually looked at his X-ray that clearly shows a blockage. This incident screams malpractice and I pray that no one else has to go through what my son and his dog had to go through. Update: I find it a little amusing that the business responded by trying to cover their lack of care by deflecting it on a 19 year old who “was on a budget”. You claim to have informed him that you believed there was a blockage and gave him free medication instead of trying to confirm a real diagnosis. If you would have expressed a real concern like you claim then my son would have called me and asked for financial help, which is exactly what he did when he took his puppy to a different veterinarian. Instead of making excuses and blaming a young adult who wanted nothing more than to help his dog, you should have been upfront and honest that there was most likely a foreign object causing the blockage and what the next steps needed to be instead of telling them to come back the next day for another X-ray. He did not tell you that he’s been having this issue on and off for weeks, it was that the puppy had swallowed and threw back up a sock a few weeks prior. And telling him the reason why you didn’t say anything about seeing a blockage on the X-ray was because “you didn’t want to worry him” is a sorry excuse. You could have killed his puppy for not being upfront and honest about the situation and if hadn’t been for my son realizing that something needed to be done immediately. $2,400 later he is back to his playful, sweet self no thanks to your practice.

We started going to Dawson forest animal hospital (Dr Lobani) being not so satisfied with our Previous Vet. Dr Lohani is one of the caring and kind Vet we have ever met. Staff is also very friendly, professional and Knowledgeable. Our Leo is very comfortable and well taken care of when ever there is a need. We are very pleased with our choice at Dawson forest animal hospital and we would lightly recommend the place for everyone.

Dawson forest is the friendliest group of veterinarians and people I’ve ever met. I just lost my best friend last week and they made the process very easy and comforting. I just got a really sweet card signed by everyone who handled Jojo this last few visits and I cried and held the card. It was so genuinely sweet and they didn’t have to do that but they did it anyway. Once I get another pet I will be returning to Dawson forest and I recommend anyone seeing them.

The team was so kind and professional to us and our Scottish Terrier, Scully. The Dr took the time to answer our questions and recommend multiple options. Excellent care with affordable choices. We will be bringing all of our furry family here in the future.

10/10 recommend Dawson Forest Animal Hospital! Our baby had a broken leg after an accident-we called every animal hospital looking for a vet to repair his leg..we felt hopeless after calling every where and being told it would be a large amount of money to repair and a long time until they could even see us. Until we called here! Dawson Forest got us in the next day for a consultation and did the surgery the same week!! We are so greatful for Dr. Lohani and his staff. They are truly so compassionate and care about your pet. We will continue to use them for all needs in the future. Excellent people and place!!
