Azalea Lakes Veterinary Clinic

Hands down our go to clinic and boarding facility. Our 3 corgi's come back from there exhausted and well taken care of. Always a joy dropping them off. They go out of their way to assist you either dropping off or picking up your pets. Staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and always in a good mood.

Dr. Susie, and her crew are amazing. We drive 90 miles from New Orleans, and it's worth every minute. Her great prices, too, will offset any gas money you spent.

Dr Savannah has no business working with animals! I have been a client at Azalea lakes for 26 years. Let me tell you why I won't be back. 30 minutes wait time is too long for a Vets office. In the lobby your dog is with big dogs who bark loudly, little dogs who are yapping (mine is a yapper), animals that are sick and some who are scared. It sets up a negative atmosphere before your pet is even seen. I brought our not quite 4 month old Jack Russell Terrier in for his puppy booster shots. We got him at 2 months old, at Christmas, so he had not been to the vet yet. When we were brought to the exam room a young lady verified that we were there for puppy booster shots, and then she immediately picked little Jake up and said she was taking him in the back to be weighed and then the Dr would be in to talk with me. About 3 minutes later I heard my puppy screaming in pain! I opened the door to see what happened. There was a group of several people around Jake and one of them said "we're lifting his tail to try and get his temp!" I figured he was scared and being handled by strangers, but he would be back with me to calm him in a minute. For the next 10 minutes I heard my puppy screaming repeatedly. Then Dr Savannah came in (I'm guessing it was Savannah, she never introduced herself) and she put Jake on the exam table roughly and she said, "THAT is a VERY aggressive dog! He's very aggressive! He tries to bite! Are you having him neutered? Bc I do NOT recommend breeding a dog that is this aggressive!" I said that I didn't plan on neutering him. She continued on that it would be a bad idea to breed a dog this aggressive. She said he was late for his shots so they basically had to start over and she listed the shots he had recieved.....WAIT! I said, You already gave him his shots??? She said yes. I said "Well, no wonder he was acting up! He was terrified and you were hurting him! I could have calmed him." She said "No, it was more aggressive than that! They behave worse when their owners are with them. Do you have any questions? NOPE! "Good. You need to get him into obedience classes ASAP and get him socialized!"" Savannah didn't know that my puppy has been socialized with classrooms full of children, cats goats and Llamas. Not mine, other peoples. Jake is as obedient as you can expect a 4 month old to be. After we left the clinic we stopped at Walgreens where all the staff and customers wanted to pet Jake and talk to him. He was wiggly bc he loved the attention, but he was not and has never been aggressive! Savannah behaved like a pediatrician who takes your child to another room, gives him shots, takes a rectal temp and then comes in and tells you your kid is a real A-hole. It's also not okay to not tell me what my pet is receiving before you give it to him. Those are deceptive business practices. Savannah spent 10 terrible minutes with my puppy in a strange place with strange people and felt qualified to condemn him as a Very aggressive dog. A bad dog. She was angry and totally without empathy for the puppy's situation. I'm sure it's faster for Savannah not to have to deal with owners. Just take the dogs away, treat them, and return them to the owner with the bill, like we did during covid. It's selfish bc it's all about seeing as many animals as you can as fast as you can, at the animal's expense. I will never recommend this clinic to anyone.
