I wouldn't trust ANY one else with our dogs. I have a hyper sensitive, anxiety driven rescue who remains calm with Dr. Downs (which is unheard of for my baby). They even play claiming music and diffuse calming scents that are specifically for dogs. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I'm forever appreciative of Dr. Downs and her amazing staff.

Welcome to Downs Lara DVM

Welcome to Downs Lara DVM, your local Pet Hospital dedicated to providing exceptional veterinary care for your beloved animal companions in Murrieta, California. Located at 26612 Margarita Rd #104, we strive to create a welcoming and stress-free environment for both you and your pets. At Downs Lara DVM, we understand that your pets are family, and their health and well-being are our top priorities.

As a leading Pet Hospital in the region, Downs Lara DVM offers a comprehensive range of services to address all aspects of your pet's health. Whether your furry friend needs a routine check-up, vaccinations, dental care, or more complex medical or surgical attention, our dedicated team is here to provide compassionate and expert care. We are committed to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in veterinary medicine to ensure your pet receives the best possible treatment.

Our clinic prides itself on creating a calming and comfortable environment for animals. We understand that visiting the vet can be a source of anxiety for many pets. To mitigate this stress, Downs Lara DVM has implemented several thoughtful features. As highlighted in a genuine customer review, we play calming music specifically chosen for dogs and utilize calming scents diffused throughout the clinic. This focus on a "fear-free" approach aims to make each visit a more positive experience for your pet.

The cornerstone of Downs Lara DVM is our dedicated and experienced team, led by Dr. Downs. While one customer review praises Dr. Downs' friendly demeanor and the calming effect she has on even hyper-sensitive and anxious pets, another review raises concerns regarding critical thinking and the ability to handle complex health issues. It's important to consider all feedback when making decisions about your pet's care. However, the positive review emphasizes the trust and appreciation this client has for Dr. Downs and her staff, even wishing for a ten-star rating.

At Downs Lara DVM, we believe in open communication and building strong relationships with pet owners. We take the time to listen to your concerns, thoroughly explain diagnoses and treatment options, and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your pet's health care journey.

Our services encompass a wide spectrum of veterinary care, including but not limited to:

  • Preventative Care: Regular check-ups, vaccinations, parasite control (flea, tick, heartworm prevention), and nutritional counseling to keep your pet healthy and prevent potential health issues.
  • Dental Care: Comprehensive dental examinations, cleanings, and treatments to maintain your pet's oral health, which is crucial for their overall well-being.
  • Medical Care: Diagnosis and treatment of various illnesses and conditions, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based medicine.
  • Surgical Services: Routine and specialized surgical procedures performed with the utmost care and attention to your pet's safety and comfort.
  • Diagnostic Services: In-house laboratory testing, digital radiography (X-rays), and other diagnostic modalities to facilitate accurate and timely diagnoses.
  • Emergency Care: While we primarily operate on an appointment basis, we are equipped to handle certain urgent situations during our operating hours. Please call us immediately if your pet is experiencing an emergency.
  • Behavioral Counseling: Guidance and support for addressing behavioral issues in your pets, contributing to a harmonious relationship between you and your animal companion.

Downs Lara DVM is committed to providing high-quality veterinary care in a comfortable and supportive environment. We understand the unique bond you share with your pet and strive to be your trusted partner in their health and well-being. We continuously aim to improve our services and ensure that your pet receives the best possible care.

While one review mentions "price gouging," it's important to note that veterinary care involves significant costs associated with medical equipment, supplies, medications, and the expertise of our veterinary professionals. We strive to provide transparent pricing and are happy to discuss treatment plans and associated costs with you upfront. We believe in providing value through our comprehensive care and commitment to your pet's health.

Price gouging and overuse of "fear free" practices. Dr. Downs is friendly, but I question her critical thinking and ability to solve a complex health concern as compared to 6 other practices and 8 other Vets I've had the pleasure of interacting with. We will be taking our pets elsewhere after one disappointing experience.
