I had to euthanize my cat, and this group of professionals was very empathetic and gentle and explained everything as it was happening. I made the right choice. She had a good 22 years on an organic farm with two wonderful women, first my mom, and then me.

Zero stars!! I have been going to this vet for over 3 years. I found them when I was an emotional mess over the health of a senior cat. She lived with a broken tooth over a decade, they pulled it and ultimately that was the beginning of her end. I have 4 rescue cats now that I have been taking them for yearly checkups. I always felt this place was expensive but the inconvenience of finding a new vet for my cats to acclimate to keep me coming back. Two of my cats were suggested to have their teeth cleaned both under 5. The first cat I took did have a broken tooth they suggested pull it along with 2 others. I went with it. Next cat I had been complaining about bad breath for years finally over the summer at his checkup they suggested dental cleaning, but to wait until January when dental is 10percent off. I waited for January just for them to tell me he has been in pain and they need to pull 2 teeth. Again I went with it over 1200 spent for a discount of 29.50. Very disappointed in this place. Not to mention Dr. Payne is just that a pain for the animals. My cats were terrified being there and he’s carrying on with his loud voice unconcerned over my cats fear. This place is a scam for people who love their pets like children. I believe they have taken advantage of me for years. Posting pictures for all I know this wasn’t even my cats mouth. All the vet techs were all very kind along with Dr. Cunningham no disrespect to them.

They seem to be all about the money and no one seems to know whats going on. Second to last time I was in there the vaccines my dog "needed and / or were strongly encouraged" changed 3 times. Convincing your dog may have this, better do this as a precaution, bring them back in x amount of weeks etc. I'm glad I trusted my gut and switched vets. Not to mention "accepting new patients" is always on the outdoor billboard sign... red flag. On a positive note Nicole at the front desk is awesome!

We brought our 2 senior dogs in who were having health issues. The staff was all so amazing and informative. We ended up putting one of our dogs to sleep and they were unbelievably kind.

I am so grateful for Lakeland Animal Care. They are the first vet who has ever keep my old lady kitty for a few extra hours after surgery. She gets really loopy and crazy. I so appreciate the care they took in noticing that she doesn't calm down on meds and keeping her for a bit of extra time to make sure she was stable. They noticed a lump that we needed to have checked out. Every employee has understood how much I love my cat and has shown great care for her. Their prices are very reasonable. I'm so happy with them that I will be getting all of my pets treated here.
