My first experience with East lake Animal Clinic was horrible. The male vet is unprofessional and careless about his clients I don't even know his name because it's not worth remembering . Him and his assistant treated my pets with no care and he was really rude when I had a few concerns about my pets, he rudely walked out of the room and didn't bother listening to what I had to say . Personally I felt like all they wanted was to give me any useless medication for my pets just to take away my money . I do NOT recommend this ... read more

We have taken our dog to Eastlake Vet, since we got him 11 years ago. We were very happy & pleased with the care he received. We have boarded him there many times. BUT 3 years ago we saw a new Dr. about 10 minutes later after he said our dog would have to have meds for the rest of his life, blood work once a month, and X rays 3 xs a year. I told my husband I felt like we just left a car lot, because this Dr. Was a car salesman. I let the receptionist know we did not want this dr again. I made an apt. With Dr Carol, he e... read more

I will NEVER come back here! It closer and cheaper but I will drive further and pay more then to deal with these people. They said my cat was an aggressive cat That he was scratching, bitting and spraying poop. They wanted to sedate him for $300 to just give him a shot and to check him. I asked multiple times if I could go in the back and be with him. Because he has never been aggressive in the six year (3 kids) that I've had him. They said "no we don't allow owners in the back" I asked for my cat back and we left. I went... read more

Very expensive. I had been taking my cat Mandy to Dena in Prunedale . I love her. Mandy had kidney issues and it was only a matter of short time. Dena kept her very comfortable and we were waiting and watching closely for when Mandy was ready to leave. Sadly she was ready on a Monday and my vet office is closed on Monday. Also it was on Memorial day so my second vet was closed as well. So I found East Lake was open. Not for emergencies, it was a regular open day. I was charged $220.00 to help my tiny little cat cross over. ... read more

they said the cat after test, pill costing $350.00 would "probably live 2yrs longer..and they would "like to try it" and that the cat would "come back" phyically. of course they weren't paying the bill. this cat turned to stone 3 days later. but they got their money.

My dog very suddenly began having breathing problems and difficulty walking - like, within an hour of our usual 3 mile runs. She has always been healthy and active and it was shocking how this came on. I took her to East Lake and they wanted $800 to check her for foxtails. I could not believe the cost but I consented. They found nothing and said she looks entirely healthy in ears, nose, throat. Really? You couldn't see any of that without $800???They suggested blood work for several hundred more. I brought her home just as s... read more

I have taken my dog to several vets trying to find THE best care I could find. East lake animal is by far the WORST ever. Every time I see the commercial with the doctors **** eating grin, I cringe. We're just gonna make a little incision and get the foxtail out...the whole thigh was sliced from the butt to the knee. Oh we didn't find anything but we cleaned her teeth. A month later same symptoms.. here's some antibiotics. Well my dog licked a hole basically herself and guess what came out.. a foxtail. Thanks doc.

This was the last straw for this place. We bring our 14 year old dog in here from time to time to get his nails trimmed. I walked up to the desk, the girls were very professional and kind. But a new rule. To have their nails clipped they need proof of a current rabies vaccine or of coarse they can give one. First off, my dog isn't due for a rabies vaccine for 2 more years. Secondly, if you gave him one before you did his nails, what good would that do??? It would not be effective for 28 days??? So the only reason is for the ... read more
