Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

(61 reviews)

So very upset and disappointed! We've used Lakewood veterinary for quite some time. We currently…read morehave an elderly boxer. He was in a week ago for his exam and allergy shot. They gave him his vaccinations as well. Two days later his health very abruptly plummeted. I called to get him in asap to see what was going on and was told nothing was available for two days. I explained that I was concerned that it was a reaction to all he got. No option to work him in, it was so bad we thought we might have to put him down. I asked for a call back from the vet. Nothing. Took him to wheatridge hospital ER. They gave him a steroid shot and they said this was probably from giving all of this at once to an elderly dog. I myself am a physician. If a patient calls in with an issue right after I see them, I figure out how to get them in! I will never go back there... and neither should you!

This place was good when Dr. Sylvester was there longer ago. He did a great job for Cocoa when she…read morehad some type of infection or something when she was three. Never did find out what it was actually, but he did every test that I asked for and nothing that I didn't need or that was too expensive or anything like that, always consulted with me as to what specific tests did I want done and never ever alarmed me too much with any of the results, and even had a wonderful and terrific great sense of humor about the whole thing too. (As in. "You're going to get a kick out of this. Fever of unknown origin." I said. "You're right, I do get a kick out of that." Grin.) He was a great guy. One of the best that I've been to. Unfortunately his successor at the same place is somewhat less good. Good guy too but just less well informed. Says that Dr. Sylvester "was his mentor" but in my opinion doesn't seem to have learned nearly enough from him (sigh). Good guy and good sense of humor but. And this is a big but. Went to him for a kitten who DID turn out to have worms, unfortunately he didn't see fit to medicate for it because the test results showed negative ("she does not have worms" according to whoever told me about it over the phone, which was actually a female tech or a female receptionist and NOT the actual vet so I don't actually know what he would have said, so just to be fair about that too). Later she FINALLY got medicated a little late. Worms can be serious for a kitten and I do feel like it's possible that her quality of life could have been better sooner if she had gotten the worm medication earlier. She was unusually tired for a kitten, about ever since I got her, AND appeared to perhaps possibly maybe have a slightly distended (but still soft) abdomen when I first got her AND the person I got her from, who worked for a local rescue society, mentioned that a kitten had been returned to the same society, at some point in time, for having worms. (So there's that. Sigh. Three things at least that could indicate it or anyway at least the possibility of it.) She also did not seem to be very healthy ever as far as her overall condition. Her overall health was decent but not actually ever very particularly ideal or excellent. This state of affairs continued through the entire time that I had her. Dr. Arcouri stated that "she's healthy" and then "she's very healthy", and the second time in particular I really didn't think that I could actually agree. I have certainly seen kittens sicker but for a supposedly "very healthy" kitten her condition was not all that great. Ever. Disappointed in the quality of care here and could not help noticing that things seemed a bit haphazard and that Dr. Arcouri once stated that he tested for worms in puppies "if I think of it" (sigh ). Not good outlook, for sure. Attitude less of a problem and more just a type of forgetfulness, or something, but still, not particularly good, that sort of thing, you know. Just saying that too. Now you know why we didn't go back. Nice people, however.​ Just a bit misinformed or maybe misguided, in some ways. Sigh. Will wait until their newer and younger vet has more experience, before I go back. Or, will ask for a different vet, next time. Or, possibly even both. (Sigh.) Not ideal but not as bad overall as I'm probably making it sound. Just make sure that they do make sure to look harder and sooner for the right things. Thanks for reading this, if by now you finally have. Long review, I know. Sigh.

What an amazing little shelter! I've been visiting with my son periodically for the past year. We…read morelike to play with and read to the kitties. The Cat Care Society is always clean and staffed by kind, cat loving individuals. It is a no kill shelter and the cats are well taken care of. If you're looking for a sweet kitty, definitely check them out! They accept donations of food, toys, and various supplies, so check with them about what they need and how you can help with their mission to care for cats.

I honestly meant to leave this earlier! This shelter is amazing. Lots of cozy places for the cats…read moreand all of their needs are being met well. It's a very clean center id say. The shelter itself is an open concept (minus cats who must be separated) and I think that's pretty neat. You get to see the cats in an environment they're used to and they become comfortable/social with humans. You can also check out their personality and see if they fit well with you. The staff working here are kind/you can tell they enjoy what they do! They answer questions and walk you through the very easy adoption process. In comparison to other places, I noticed the adoption fee was about 100$ less, so that is cool. I adopted Spud - also known as " The profesor" ( the name they gave him) last February and he has become a lovely addition to my pet family. He came with a bag of the food they were feeding him, a blanket and some coupons. It took him some time to adjust, I suspect he might've been feral prior to coming to CCS (His left ear is clipped- which I think is TNR program?) but once he did he is the best companion. He also gets along with my senior cat well. The cats here are socialized, sweet and there's tons to check out. Someone for anyone - if you're looking/ready to take that step. I recommend!
