Large Animal Veterinary Associates

LAVA..Dr Catt and Dr Martin both EXCEPTIONAL vets for your large animals. Unlike another well known group of vets for large animals who are out just FOR YOUR MONEY.. they put their bill before your animals well being...voice if experience here 😡☹️....LAVA CARES ABOUT YOUR ANIMALS FIRST!!!! Why go with a second rate vet group when you can go with the BEST!!!! LAVA WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK and CARE for your loved 💗 animals who deserve the care!!!

As a Sporthorse/Dressage trainer I have come in contact with many veterinarians and I have consulted many over the years. The team at LAVA absolutely rocks, I have been working with them for many years. Their combined experience will leave no question unanswered, from emergency and routine procedures to reproductive consult to intricate sports medicine solutions, there's an expert for any problem you might be faced with. Their passion for the horses shines through every move and the team in the office keeps the engine running smoothly! Highly recommended!

I used LAVA for many years. I've seen doctor Martin go all the way to Ramona at 2 am just to check on a horse that he had seen earlier in the day. He didn't charge the people. He just cared enough to want to see that a very sick animal would make it through the night. All businesses have a few wackos they have to deal with from time to time. That explains the one bad review. I'm not an employee of LAVA. I'm a professional animal trainer. And I always without hesitation recommend Dr. Martin. If you want someone that sincerely cares about your animals health then he should be your first call. It really irritates me when nut jobs write bad reviews. Most foot abcesses are due to owners not doing daily maintainance to a horses foot. They sometimes also have to develop a little more to be diagnosed properly. I can tell from that negative post the guy was one of those pains in the butts that always tries to get a freebie on someone else's time. Now you know I'm not an employee. Because nobody working for that company would be so critical of that comment you made. It would make their business look bad. If you were that unhappy next time call a vet and make an appointment. Your horse would probably still be lame because your to cheap to spend the money and call the vet out in the first place. Sorry everyone but nobody should ever have to suffer a rant like that jerk posted. These guys really are great. Just like everyone else posted.

I spent hours calling every large animal vet listed for a downed cow and Dr. Catt was the only one who called me back and came out. He was very thorough, compassionate yet realistic and I was so grateful for making time in his schedule to fit us in today when no one else would.

New client, tried to make an appointment. Refused to see my animal for an exam without an explanation at all.. And they claim to specialize in goats.. I'm in shock from that vet's call..
