My cat and I had a fantastic experience! Everyone Wendy (my cat) interacted with was so kind and patient. They made her feel very safe and comfortable and didn't push her at all. Very very pleased with the staff, the cleanliness, and the overall energy. They gave me plenty of information, answered any questions I had, and were happy to offer advice. I felt like they really had my cat's best interest in mind, rather than trying to sell. Can't wait to visit again!

We could not have asked for a better experience. From front desk, vet technicians to the doctors, everyone at this veterinary clinic is amazing. Kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable and understanding. They clearly laid out all our options, explained and answered all of our questions and had compassion in all they did. After a challenging and difficult situation with our new pet, that unfortunately had to be put down, the care and support was more than we were even expecting. Dr. Brown-Hendry was absolutely brilliant. The time and consideration she gave us was above and beyond. I cannot recommend them enough. They have shown all our animals and family so much love. We trust them explicitly. We will miss our little guy, but know he received the best care and all that was possible was done for him. To have a team so dedicated to the care of animals especially in such a difficult time makes the tough decisions feel less out of control. Our other pets are lucky to have this wonderful place caring for them. Thank you to your entire team.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the professionalism at Lafayette Animal Hospital. From our first call to schedule an appointment they did the legwork of calling our previous vets to get our dogs records. Our first visit with Dr. Abbott she was both thorough and compassionate. She explained everything and presented us with her plan for our allergy pup as well as going over the cost prior to charging us for anything. Follow up was equally as great with daily checks. Blue was definitely BLUE prior to his visit but after having his brother Chunk with him for moral support and sneaking kisses to the ladies he was immediately much more comfortable. So pleased with the care we’re receiving.

We adopted a "farm boy" Bichon Frise from an Amish breeder in Ephrata, PA. It is so good having Dr. B who has "horse sense." She morphed into a country Doctor out of "All Creatures Great and Small" to treat our farm boy. Dr. B was astute to project our farm boy's pastoral origin and his pathological impact on our immune compromised SLO older dog, whom she is successfully treating. Also, Dr. B performed the cryptorchid surgery on our middle boy. The scar is indistinguishable from the surrounding tissue, and our Buckaroo boy has become a phenomenal hunter. It is comforting to entrust our family to Dr. B and her loving, compassionate, and talented support team. When I was young I asked my mother why she took me to Dr. so-and-so. Her answer was that he is compassionate and very capable. I intend for my little boys to have the same in veterinary care. I can report that Dr. B is outstanding in diagnostic veterinary medicine. She is a highly trained Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine alumni. I'm an old man, and I've been through several veterinarians in my life. I have not found a more capable clinician. Now, we know the soft skills of compassion, empathy, and caring can be referenced in text and classroom, but they are cultivated in life experiences. Everyone at Lafayette Animal Hospital manifests these skills, which is a great comfort. I'm happy to have found Dr. B at Lafayette Animal Hospital.

We have been to the LAH clinic three times since getting our puppy. The place seems to run very smoothly. The vibe is relaxed. The front desk staff are very capable and seem to work together well. They seem happy, and focused on their job and their clients. I’ve called them and emailed them multiple times and have always received quick responses. Office visits have been on schedule. The techs are knowledgeable and don’t seem rushed. I always have lots of questions and the techs and doctors are patient with explanations. They are also respectful of me asking about alternatives to recommended treatment. The office is spacious and clean and well designed. It’s been a while since I’ve had a dog, so there’s a bit of sticker shock about how much things cost. But that’s anywhere you go, and at least I feel like I’m paying for top notch care for my pup and clinic visits that are educational and pleasant.

Yes, we do. Lafayette Animal Hospital carries Royal Canin products primarily, but we do have some Hill's Science Diet and Purina prescription diets on hand.
