I went to visit my bf's family over the Christmas holidays, and brought my best little co-pilot, my…read moresweet beagle named Sam. 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!

Dr. Pete as well as his entire staff have cared for our beloved Maurice the Maltese for almost a…read moredecade. 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%.

When I told her another country she then quoted $400 for a piece of paper. I went elsewhere and got the health certificate for $30. They often try to tack on an exam fee when it was requested that the dog only have the procedure done without exam (blood, ultrasound etc). The receptionist will insist on charging $42 for a vet exam that was not done. If you are bringing a dog in for OFA, be prepared to call OFA and pay for it because their credit card on file is expired. They will then only offer you an account credit for a service you paid double for.

I can't imagine having had a worse experience with a vet clinic. Aside from Dr. Fontenot telling…read moremy husband that she dislikes our breed of dog, A German Shepard, she let him walk out of her practice a year ago, claiming he had a false positive heartworm test. Fast-forward one year and we recently took him back there for his annual visit, and low and behold, he has heartworms. None of the issues we took him in for were addressed and Fontenot didn't even have the common decency to come out to the car (being they are still doing curbside only) to explain his course of treatment. Instead, she sent a vet tech out to our car to try and accuse us of skipping our dog's heartworm preventative ( of which I have records to prove that he has never missed). Accountability is everything in this world. Had she retested him a year ago, perhaps she would have found that indeed his first result was not a false positive. Instead, she is so quick to get everyone out of there. Not thorough at all! Profit only! Additionally, we cannot get this clinic to give our dog the heartworm preventative they are now recommending. They will not authorize his meds through third party services and have been giving me the run around for over a week about technical difficulties with their online store. Overall, this vet is highly incompetent and I believe that because she has such disdain for our dog's breed, she was hoping he would die of heartworms. Please do not bring your pets to this joke of an establishment.

Not the worst experience of my life but definitely not the best…read more I was born and raised in south Louisiana, true Cajun. This is far from the southern hospitality I'm accustomed to seeing... Maybe I caught them on a bad day? First, they only have one doctor on staff and you can expect to wait upwards of thirty minutes to see him in the waiting area. The lady behind the counter doesn't really want to know you or why you're there and her attitude sucked... The visit felt very rushed especially after discovering my dog had heart worms. We rescued this dog not know he had the heart worms and were genuinely concerned for his health. I really didn't feel like they cared about our furry little friend. I'm not saying they have to personally care but on some level that is what vets are suppose to do, CARE for you pet... I would look elsewhere. Update: We took our pet to a vet in Texas and were informed that the heart worm treatment method they wanted to use here was outdated and dangerous.

When I trusted this vet to take care of my animal during a dental cleaning and extraction, she came home with me JUST AFTER SURGERY. She was bleeding immediately and vomited up a clot the size of my human fist. THANK GOD I DID NOT LEAVE HER in their care that evening, as she could have died. Minutes were a matter of importance, as I called them OFF THE HOOK, after I brought her home (4:50 left clinic, 5:09 called repeatedly) ....I ended up rushing her, while going into shock, to the emergency vet......the next day, I went to the clinic to let Dr. Ariel know about the tragic outcome of her surgery, and was LAUGHED AT TO MY FACE. I let her have it, as she is a professional, and I TRUSTED HER with the care of my dog. I was told that I did not get the pre surgical blood work, and that may have made a difference in the outcome. Well, feeling UNEDUCATED about this, I DID GET BLOOD WORK, at my SECOND ER VISIT (3 days after the surgery!). The blood work came back normal, but I will touch upon that later.....In regards to the treatment from DR. ARIEL, with my Dogs dental, and other dogs I have brought to her, let me tell you who is UNEDUCATED AND CRUEL. I've seen her misdiagnosis conditions, stab herself with a needle while attempting a routine shot, miss regularly while giving shots, behave with no confidence when handling larger dogs, and treat her clients with little respect. I am not going to sugar coat it, when my girl could have died, I told Dr. Ariel she should look twice at her hands and second guess every move she makes. She needs to take responsibility!.....before I continue down a CRUEL ROAD, I want to stick to purely EDUCATING ANYONE WHO GOES TO THIS VET. THINK TWICE. There is FAR MORE to this story, as I gave DR.COLE the opportunity to make things right as well, but also was met with no respect or consciousness.......So, all in all, I HAVE BEEN EDUCATED, and I MAY STILL BE CRUEL, but this is not about me...IT IS ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF YOUR PET.
