I took my baby girl Blossom here for her 3 mo old shots. I had gone to another vet a week prior and had an awful experience so decided to try this place out. I must say it was 10000X better then the other place I had gone to. The vet techs were polite and very friendly. It sucks having to wait in your car as they take your baby away but they called me up relatively fast. The vet I had was so polite and explained everything and did not pressure me or didn't try to nickel and dime me. I felt like they genuinely cared about my ... read more

I am beyond blown away by the amazing care my dog has received at this office! My dog had an emergency during a grooming appointment and I was sent to Lifetime to get him treated as soon as possible. I had never been to this office before, but they were so accommodating and got him in quickly for an emergency appointment. This is during coronavirus, so I was not able to go in with my dog. The staff came out to speak with me and the doctor called me during his exam. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable and I really felt hea... read more

This is our third dog we have taken to this Vet over many years. The staff is still friendly, but the philosophy of the establishment has become too dollar oriented. It used to be basic treatment for a common issue. Now there are always multiple tests pushed by the Vet or Tech. Last visit the estimate was for over $500 to get our dog treated for an ear infection (generic drops cleared it up). Unfortunately, we are now shopping for another provider. 

Business response:

Thank you for your feedback, Kevin. As we are an AAHA-accredited practice, our standard of care is required to be very high. We will always offer the best possible care for your pet, regardless of cost, just as human physicians would do. We are then always happy to work with you should you want to decline certain items to remain within a budget. We are always very flexible in providing options for each client. We understand that medical care can be pricey and are constantly working to try to keep costs low. One of the ways w... read more

Where would we be without very intelligent, talented, caring people like Dr. D'Souza, Dr. Hardy and all of their staff at Lifetime Animal Care Center? We have utilized their veterinary services for many years and through many pets. They are the only vets we would trust with our pets. They are compassionate and knowledgeable. Every member of the staff takes the time to know all of the animals and humans that walk through their door. The doctors and staff take a personal interest in our pets. We work together as a team ... read more

So we had been taking our cats to Lifetime for many years with Dr Cole as our go to guy and had an excellent experience with the friendly staff and Dr Cole's expertise was second to none. He did an amazing job removing a lump from our cat Suki's lip which can be a very tricky area. Unfortunately Dr Cole ended up leaving the practice to go out on his own during the Covid-19 pandemic and we wanted to keep him as our Vet. Luckily he was very easy to find on Google and Facebook. Lifetime gets 5 stars for their professionalism an... read more

My dog had gotten bit by another dog and I brought him into Lifetime Animal Care Center, they immediately were able to take him in, check him out, and give him antibiotics. They didn't hesitate to take me in as a walk in an hour before they closed. I can't thank Dr. Hardy and staff enough for their great care and service. From the front desk, to vet assistant, to doctor, everyone was so nice and caring. Would recommend this staff and their services to anyone. 

Business response:

Thank you for your generous feedback! Our team looks forward to seeing you and your pet again soon.

My puppy was peeing blood this morning and panic set in. I took her to her (now old) vet and they told me they were booked and to come back in four days when they had an opening. My dog is peeing blood and you want me to wait? I immediately started calling around and Lifetime Animal Care Center told me to come in right away and they will see her. They were so incredibly friendly and nice. I greatly appreciate them for taking the time to squeeze us in and to see her. They believe they know what is wrong (the tests take some t... read more

We got a new puppy about a month ago who we fell in love with instantly! unfortunately he got very sick one day out of no where! and we had no idea what to do! Another vet we went to had no appointments available that day so we looked for the top rated vets in the area hoping to find someone who would see us asap! I came across Lifetime and called and the lady was so nice and show such concern for our sick puppy! We were able to bring him in within the hour. He was seen within 15 minutes and they gave us a detailed diagnosis... read more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is. But I will start by saying that my dog wagged her tail when she came in here. The staff is caring, helpful and take the time to get to know you and your pet. I had been going to a vet at a larger clinic and was unhappy with the prices and the impersonal care. I came here at the recommendation of a friend from the dog park. Their Paw Plan is a great alternative or an addition to pet insurance. My Vizsla, Nikki, needed to have a toe removed, and the surgery went very well.... read more

Business response:

Anne, thank you for your kind words. We know all too well how difficult it is to say goodbye to a beloved pet. We are glad we were able to provide some comfort during this tough process and please don't hesitate to give us a call should you need anything. We will miss Nikki so much here at Lifetime. Sending you hugs!!!
