I use to go here when it was known as best friends animal clinic. I had just moved from another…read morestate in the west coast to Westlake, LA during the beginning of 2020 and I was looking online for a veterinarian and it led me to here. I chose this place to be my dog's new veterinarian because of the good reviews and how everyone said that Dr. Ford is an amazing veterinarian. It was easy to set up an appointment. The vet staff, Dr. Ford and front desk employees were all so nice and kind. I had no problems with any of them. Dr. Ford is a great veterinarian and even took his time to answer any questions and did thorough exams, and it's thanks to him that I know that my dog has Patellar luxation and even asked me if my dog had any limping and I said no; he had said that patellar luxation is normal in small dogs which was a relief and since he wasn't limping that it shouldn't be a concern, and to this day, my dog still hasn't had any limping. The prices were pretty good too, I use to pay about 300+ each time I went to the vet and when I came here, it was always 100 or less and with NO tax on it! (Really amazing!) I had to move out of state in 2023, it was close to my dog's annual vaccines and Dr. Ford squeezed me in that same day I called with no hesitation and 2 days later I moved out of state. Literally, the best veterinarian I have ever seen and he actually cared about his patients/clients. The reason why I'm writing this review is because I randomly got an email from a place called NVC - Lake Charles and I didn't know what that was; I googled it and to my surprise, the address matched best friends animal clinic and I found out that it was sold to them and that about 4 months ago, nvc KICKED Dr. Ford out and ALL of his staff.. like who even does that. That's just straight up greed. Dr. Ford founded best friends animal clinic and even found the place to make it into a veterinary clinic and he's the one who gets kicked out along with his staff.. like what? That's so horrible. The prices have since gone up and it's double/triple the price. NVC is a greedy corporation that likes to kick out veterinarians that have founded their own clinic to scoop it up from them because they don't want to actually work for it to find a place to lease themselves and find the clients/patients themselves. I REALLY hope Dr. Ford opens up a new veterinary clinic and everyone goes there instead so this greedy corporation can close up in lake Charles. They have even been lying to people saying he retired when he was straight up fired along with his staff. I will be attaching a link to Facebook so you all can read what NVC did to Dr. Ford and his staff. They gave them no warning or notice; they showed up to work on a Friday 4 months ago and told them that they're all fired. https://www.facebook.com/groups/sulphur100/posts/2927774914080687/ If the link doesn't work, just screenshot it & copy and paste the link on google and you'll read all the comments of what greedy NVC did to Dr. Ford and his staff OR write "Dr. Ford lake Charles vet" and the Facebook post talking about all of this will come up. So NO I don't recommend this veterinarian clinic anymore at all. If my review gets deleted, I'll just write it again and again and again.

Dr Terry Ford is no longer there, the corporation removed him and his staff from the office. I…read morewould not recommend going here any longer. Terry Ford put his patients and the owners first, built a relationship and actually worked for affordable options and treatments not upsetting products or procedures that may put you in debt or you felt forced you to do nothing because of cost. If it was going to be costly you could trust him with that knowledge it was necessary. These companies taking over only care about money and the client count.

Please send some love to our sweet boy Archie. He suffered a chemical burn for his eyes today at…read morethe DOG STOP in Lake Charles. The Dog Stop used a shampoo made in Korea that should be diluted with water at 20-1. Should!!! Archie was in pain when I picked him up and when I put him in the car. He could not open his eyes and licked his paw. HE SMELLED LIKE STRONG CHEMICALS. He was bleeding from cuts by the groomer on his both paws . I took him straight to the vet from the dog stop. The vet immediately diagnosed him with a chemical burn from the shampoo. The Dog Stop owner blew it off as just a common thing that happens. IT IS NOT COMMON FOR A DOG TO GET A CHEMICAL BURN FROM GETTING WASHED!!! It is not common for us to bring our dog home and hope and pray that he is not blind for the rest of his life. It is not common for us to watch him suffer so much! He can barely open his eyes. The color in his eyes has faded, The vet does not know if he will be blind or not. We just have to wait and hope ! The Dog Stop - Lake Charles - be aware if you visit the The Dog Stop - Lake Charles. We informed the owner how serious this situation was and he reminded us that we signed a waiver. They are heartless and will never touch our dog again. Who saw my baby knows that he is healthy and playful wonderful dog, look at him now My heard is breaking for him. I brought a perfectly healthy dog at 8 am, and by the lunch my baby is almost blind. How possible do not see it?! Ignore it?! .. This is their phone number. 337-246-9194 Please please share and be aware!!!!

Took our Shepard mix in for a check up. When it came to blood work, they literally held her down to…read moredraw blood. Our baby wasn't having it. They said it's to prevent a bite. Our dog has NEVER bit anyone, EVER, but anccording to this licensed Vet it's because "she's older now.". She's only 6. She knows her commands. Sits, lays and "all the way" which is her laying flat on her side, and then some. When asked for a treat to help her not focus on the shot and have her do the commands the vet said "we don't reward bad behavior." Dog was brought for a callous on her elbow. I'm a big believer on energy, and my dog wasn't feeling this place at all, for whatever reason. I've never had a vet hold any of my dogs down for blood work. I'm talking pure bred European Dobermans, Mals and much more "intimidating" breeds than a Shepard mix. If you're worried about a bite, put a muzzle on or refuse service. You don't hold the dog down, when worried about a bite. Very weird experience, however they didn't charge us, as nothing was done, and we will continue going to the vet we used prior. Came here because we just moved to this area and it saved us a drive but it didn't spare my dog any. We'll continue to make an hour round trip for a vet who can handle our beloved dog with care and doesn't put her in fight or flight mode for simply drawing blood.
