Dr. Culpepper and the Staff are amazing! They had to give us some bad news about our fur baby and they gave it to us with compassion and care ! Would highly recommend them. They have been our Vet since 2017.

Lake Area Animal Clinic is professional and friendly facility that cares for my dogs and cat. The vets are all knowledgeable and caring. They take the time to explain treatments and your pet’s condition. The support staff and technicians are equally caring and professional. Our old lady cat just saw Dr. Polly Wilde this week and the cat came home happy and unstressed. Thanks!

Just a fantastic experience. My dogs are very friendly and the staff has no problem giving them attention even outside of procedures we’re there to do. They’re relaxed with the treats and so gentle with them, as long as I’m in the area they are the vet clinic for me and so recommend them to everyone!

Best veterinary clinic in the Highland Lakes area. When my dogs are anxious about going into a place, that place has to be special. Both of my dogs did not hesitate to enter the clinic.The staff is caring. Doctor Pollard explained everything pertaining to the dogs check-up.Do your critters a favor. Take them to the Lake Area Animal clinic.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional care provided by Lake Area Animal Clinic during a recent emergency with my French Bulldog. I was visiting the area when my furry companion suddenly became overheated, and I found myself in a dire situation. Despite having never been to this vet before, the staff at Lake Animal Hospital went above and beyond to help us.As soon as I walked in with my distressed pup, the team at Lake Area Animal Clinic sprang into action. They stopped everything they were doing, assessed the situation, and took my dog in for immediate care. The sense of urgency and professionalism they displayed was truly commendable.Throughout the ordeal, the staff made sure to keep me informed and involved in the process. They provided a comfortable room off the lobby where I could wait, and their periodic updates were both reassuring and appreciated. Despite the emergency lasting over three hours, the staff remained dedicated, compassionate, and attentive.What truly sets Lake Area Animal Clinic apart is the genuine care and kindness exhibited by the entire team – special shout out to Tori, Dr. Culpepper & Ebby! They not only addressed the immediate emergency but also ensured that my pet received the best possible treatment. The level of commitment and empathy displayed by the staff left a lasting impression on me.To top it off, I received a follow-up phone call the next day to check on my pup’s recovery. This thoughtful gesture reinforced the genuine concern the staff has for the well-being of the animals they care for.I wholeheartedly recommend Lak Lake Area Animal Clinic to anyone in the area. The professionalism, compassion, and expertise demonstrated by the staff are unparalleled. Wally & I are forever grateful for their swift action and exceptional care during a stressful time. Thank you, Lake Area Animal Clinic, for being a beacon of hope and healing for pets and their worried owners. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and I am confident that others will find the same level of comfort and care that I experienced in their time of need.

NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR PETS HERE IF YOU LOVE THEM ☠️☠️☠️Horrible Horrible people . They don't care about anything but money. And even if you have money they disrespect you , belittle you then act as if you've done them wrong. As.i was.paying these greedy.cruel , money grumbling fools. They were talking toe as if my money was no good. They let their personal feelings sway there judgment and if they are the least bit professional I never saw it. They let fur babies die for no reason. Because if this slaughter house I lost my beautiful boxer puppy. Want a real vet go to Burnet. Find Dr. Mcbride hes a human being that truly cares about animals regardless of what he thinks of the owners. These people should have their license taken away as they are the monsters in my opinion.

Wonderful, compassionate and caring staff. We unfortunately had to make that final tough decision for one of our fur-babies today and the staff was most caring and compassionate with me and our baby. I don't remember all the ladies names but they were ALL so sweet.

My sweet.boxer got parvo. I went to the lake area vet in a panic. The Dr. Was great, very informative. Not real.hopeful.buy thoroughly explained everything. The staff was great, caring, and kind. The Dr. Told.me it woild.be near $800 to try to save her. I agreed . Then I was told I could put half down, and they took my little.puppy.back. then some rude nasty and very money hungry woman took over, demanding the payment in full. Mind you she hadn't even been even started with any treatment, and this nasty rude, very unprofessional person began to belittling me.and talk do2n to me insinuating I had no money as I am on the phone transferring funds. She nag nag naged umtil.id had enough and told.her I'm writing your check step back out of my face and silence her money grabbing. She blew up. I had had more than enough and cussed her disgusting self out telling her exactly what I felt, and she threw my little puppy out and told me to take her he and watch her die. Never to step foot in the place againAs if I or anyone I know would. Whoever that vial inhuman trashy woman was warrents much more than this review. Im seeking legal measures to ensure she doesn't abuse any other traumatized person and they're animals agin. She should be and hopefully be held accountable for her greedy money, hungry and rude disrespectful mannerisms, and extremely unprofessional business ethics. In my opinion, they don't care about anything but your money defiantly not your fur, babie. Sad how greed and the love of money, the root.of all evil, it turns people's hearts so black. I hope she finds herself.in.tje same position I did. And I hope she's treated with exactly the opposite of how she treated me. Perhaps she needs a lesson in humanity and respect she obviously failed to learn from her elders. And I hope she knows she deserves much less, but there are professional people in the world that she doesn't deserve to be even acknowledged by. Tje.wam I'm opinion suffers from lack of.integrity., dignity.and class. I wouldn't take anything I cared for to this.....practice as long as she is there, it should be closed down

I’ve been taking my dogs to Lake Area Animal Clinic for 13 years. I love Dr. Scott Pollard. He is exceptional and very thorough with his exams of our dogs. He is gentle and kind and explains every tiny detail. He gives instructions and answers all questions. The vet techs are all wonderful and so is the office staff. I’ve been 100% pleased with this staff at this clinic for many years.

I wish I could give these Vets and their staff more stars! I’ve been taking my dogs to Lake Area for well fifteen years. Most recently my 9-1/2 year old dog suddenly developed pulmonary edema and labored breathing. Dr. Polly saw him and treated him and took a good deal of time to help me understand how to continue his care! Three days later he was back to his original, energetic and enthusiastic self! I can’t thank them enough.

We are so fortunate to have found Dr. Pollard! He is an amazing and very knowledgeable vet. He takes as much time as you need to discuss your pet’s condition and treatment options.On our last visit, he spayed our dog. The staff treated her like a princess and her incision was stitched better than anything I have ever seen. We love this practice and all the people there are exceptional!!

I have been using Lake Area Animal Clinic for about 13 yrs. There are 3 vets who take excellent care of my pets. They were so compassionate when we lost our GW and so thrilled when we got a new puppy. I feel they really care for my pets.

Quick and painless and I believe my dog actually enjoyed the two vaccine shots between samples of cheese wiz! The lab tech was very kind and reassuring to my pet who was really nervous at first, then relaxed. Very friendly and professional and caring!

When only the Best will do. What can we say. These are an amazing group of dedicated individuals at the Lake Area Animal Clinic. For over 30 years this is who we have trusted to care for our precious 4-legged family members. You can tell that they truly love animals and that they understand how important they are to their families. From the Office Staff, to the Vet Techs, to the Vet's themselves, each and every one of them are exceptional. This level of caring and service is quickly disappearing from Vet care in the US. We hope they never change and are always there to take care of our fur babies.

Dr. Pollard and the entire staff are very welcoming and friendly. We never feel rushed because Dr. Pollard is very thorough with the exam. It's obvious that he and the staff truly care about the animals as well as the humans who bring them in!

We’ve been taking our pets to Dr. Pollard since 2005. He always takes time to explain everything to us and takes the best care of our pets. Can’t say enough great things about the staff at Lake Area Animal Clinic.

As always I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We have taken our dogs in the past. A cat ended up on our porch one night and decided to stay, checked FB and around town if she was missing. Finally having time to get her checked out we made the appointment to check for a chip and see if she was spayed. She was not chipped and she had been spayed. She was a little bit spicy during examination but according to the amazing vet tech, there have been spicer animals. Thank you all, so have an extremely happy child who has always wanted a cat.

The minute we (Lola and me) walk in the door we feel at “home”. From the front office personnel, Vet Techs to our Vet, Dr. Pollard, we are greeted and cared for with respect and like we are the only patient in the office all the while knowing the waiting room is filled with pets and their parents awaiting their turn! Our questions and concerns are addressed and we never feel rushed. Thank y’all at Lake Area Animal Clinic! We highly recommend this clinic for your fur babies😊

I’ve been rescuing Rotties for 24 years. Since I have no family my rescues are my world. I literally make them a promise that in their their remaining years they will have the best life imaginable, and health care is a number one priority. I find that their care here meets and exceeds my promise to them!

You have taken care of my dogs since 2003. Scott is a wonderful vet, knowledgeable and most importantly, caring. His staff are equally experienced and knowledgeable and caring. My dogs have never been frightened or intimidated during procedures.
