My kitty once developed a goopy pink discharge in her eye due to being bapped by my other cat. I called and they fit me in that night at 830pm. The veterinarian was very gentle with my baby and did a very thorough checkup. Turns out my kitty was quickly forming an ulcer which we caught very early. We were able to heal it within a week! Turns out the place is open 24/7 so they're the best for emergencies. I also highly recommend this vet for their dental work. My kitty had to have a few teeth extracted and the vet took before, during, and after pictures that were texted to me for reassurance. They did an amazing job on the stitching and she had no post surgical issues. Overall this is hands down the best vet in Lafayette.

I communicated to the techs that she is very skittish and has came from an abusive home. They either disregarded this remark or didn't have the necessary experience to understand the situation and handled her just as any dog. Due to this she did react negatively and bit a tech. They then came back and told me I was lucky that it didn't cause any bleeding otherwise they would've quarantined her at the pound. I am not sure how more clear I could be saying this dog came from an abused home and is skittish. She has never bitten anyone as long as I've had her but how my communication was disregarded and how she was handled escalated the situation unnecessarily which almost resulted the to quarantining my dog.

We brought her there on 7/3, we brought her a blanket toys and food. I explained how much and how ofter she eats. However upon picking up Rose I had several concerns. When we dropped her the other cat was free to roam which was what I saw, when I returned the same cat was out free to roam. I  was told not to worry that you all had experience with difficult cats,but between the two workers they both were afraid to let her out. My husband had to go get Rose out so my concern is that if you could not get her out today how were you getting her out the last 4 days for playtime or was she just confined to that small space. I also inquired about how was her condo so dirty and was told it took a little time to clean. The litter box was filthy as well. At home her litter box is cleaned twice a day. My other concern was that the bag of food that I brought there for Rose,  once returned had very little taken from the bag. I am very irritated and concerned about the dirty conditions Rose was subjected to and whether she was confined to that little space we removed her from. Rose is like a child to us and I thought that during my absence she was well taken care of.  It took us a while after getting home to calm her down.

Dr. Broussard is hands down one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring vets I have ever met. When you walk in, the front desk staff are always welcoming, patient, kind, and helpful. They treat you like family instead of "just another appointment." Even when things are hectic, they still manage to be friendly and reassuring, which means a lot when you're stressed about your pets. But Dr. Broussard is truly the heart of that clinic. You can tell immediately that he genuinely loves animals and cares deeply about the people attached to them too. Over the years, he has cared for so many of my cats and pets through everything from routine visits to scary emergencies, and I have always trusted his judgment completely. He takes the time to explain things clearly, never makes you feel rushed, and treats every animal with patience and kindness. Finding a veterinarian you trust for 20+ years is rare these days, and I honestly cannot imagine bringing my animals anywhere else. If you want a vet clinic where the staff is amazing, the care is top-notch, and your pets are treated like they matter, this is the place. 10/10 recommend. My furry little chaos goblins approve too.

He kept him alive, enjoying quality of life for the last several years after he was diagnosed with both renal and heart issues. He always accommodated my work schedule in order to provide the care and did so with compassion and gentleness. A few days ago Maurice started having seizures and Dr. Pete tried every medication and treatment available in order to save him. He came to the phone and spoke to me personally multiple times over the course of the the 8 days leading up to his demise. When he suffered a stroke we knew that he was suffering and gasping for breath. Dr. Pete assisted our boy with a painless and peaceful escape to eternal rest. He was extremely caring and it was obvious that it was hard for him to see Maurice in such distress and was deeply moved himself as he fulfilled his patient's care for the last time. He also made all the arrangements for a private cremation so that we could keep him forever with our family in his beautiful tiny urn. I recommend Dr. Pete and his staff completely. We, as well as our Maurice trusted them 100%.

It was a horrible experience when she ended up getting attacked by another dog... a huge chunk of skin missing, blood from other places... awful. We found the number to Lafayette Animal Emergency Clinic, and they said to bring her in right away. They got to her as soon as we got there and within 15 minutes, gave a solid examination and an estimate - always the moment of truth where your heart skips two beats: will she be okay and how much is it going to cost. The vet explained they'd need to install a drain to help flush out the deep wounds she incurred, and they'd also need to stitch up the open wounds where she was bitten - 4 areas. But they conveyed that she would be just fine. Then we braced for the cost - a little less than $450. I can't tell you how stunned I was at the reasonableness of the cost to get her fixed up (this happens to be the same sweet girl who broke her leg last Christmas to the tune of $3500.) The cost included pain-killers and antibiotics. We had to bring Sam back to the vet two more times - 4 days later to have the drain removed, and 10 days later to have the stitches removed. There was no charge for the follow-up visits, which made me love this place just a little bit more. The staff was friendly and extremely attentive, and were very patient and forgiving when Sam paid a little retribution by peeing and pooping on their floor while getting the drain removed. The hours for the emergency vet coincide for when most places are closed - 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. weeknights(ish), and all weekend. I am SO very thankful for this place and for its people. It's 2 1/2 weeks later, and Sam's as good as new - chasing her tail and throwing her toys around - with a little punk-rock hair-do!

I went to the vet, to get my puppy's (three months old) checkup, deworm, and shots. As soon as I walked in, my dog stopped in the doorway. I had a hard time pulling him in with the door while also holding back the toddler. So, my daughter (3yo) ran straight in. I had to pick up the pup who weighs almost 23 lbs. I saw two people watching. I guess they pretended not to notice. My appointment was at 3:50 p.m. and I arrived early around 3:40. I was there until 4:32 p.m. It was really hot in there. I was sweating! When they came into the exam room, there was no introduction. The vet was, I assume Dr. Lee, I am still not sure since there was no introduction. My pup was uneasy on his first trip away from home. He started to growl. After coming out from under the chair, he looked at me, calmed down, and sat. I said, "Good boy" when he looked at me and sat. I guess it was the vet who told me not to praise my dog unless he is doing something I want him to do. I did, but she was not looking so I told her that I rewarded him for sitting, not growling. She sounded slightly rude, but she didn't see. How many times did I spell my dog's name for them? Over five. They still managed to spell it wrong. It's just a dog but pay attention, please! I am not sure why my payments could not have been done while I was in the exam room. This could have prevented the whole waiting-next-to-a-parrot situation. As I was paying, I asked for some information on a future appointment for my CAT. I was carrying my toddler and holding the leash of the 23lb pup. We were waiting, so I showed my daughter the African Grey Parrot. I know very much about animals, and I know not to put your finger in the cage. But my daughter had never seen one before. I was keeping her away from the cage the best I could. There is no sign and there are no barriers around the cage. Some places put plexiglass at the bottom for protection. Honestly, I couldn't see it until I heard him whistle. Rose came to hand me my receipt just as my daughter was getting closer to the cage. The bird saw this and came closer. As I was being handed my receipt and I turned to get it, my daughter was being bitten by the bird. One quick second is all it took. I want to point out that I was holding my daughter's hand and the leash the entire time. Before I could say don't touch, she was bitten. No, she did NOT stick her finger inside. She was pointing and it lunged at her finger and was just close enough to reach. The exact spot it happened was where the cage opens for the food dish. Rose asked if she was bleeding and I said no. So, of course, she said, "Don't stick your fingers in cages!" Then the lady said that she would email me the information instead so that I could leave. She confirmed my email address AGAIN before I went. I confirmed my information and the pup's name multiple times. That day they never emailed me the information that I was waiting on when she got bit! As if it was all for nothing. When I did finally get an email, it was the wrong information! I asked about my female cat's upcoming spay scheduled for 5 days later. Instead, they sent estimates for my puppy boosters and neuter. So, no wonder. I guess she thought I was stupid for asking about a spay for my "male" when I really was asking about my female cat. I guess I looked trashy, poor, and stupid if she thought I was asking for pricing on the "dog." Either way, I was not being listened to, which I find disrespectful. I'm sure they are good people, maybe it was just one of those days. I am sure your animal will be in good hands. If you don't like being social and are only focused on your pet, you might like this place. We will not be going back, and our furry family is growing as we will be adopting a puppy next fall. I need to find someone who cares about the clients as well as the patients. I've never thought I would want to be treated like a dog until dealing with these people!
