The veterinary assistants and techs have always treated my dogs and cats (yes dogs and cats - both plural) in a gentle, yet professional, manner. The absolute best part of Destrehan Animal Hospital is our veterinarian, Dr. Gina Goodier. She has handled our pets primary care, vaccines, dentals illnesses, and emergencies for many years and has always been amazing. She takes the time to understand and answer my concerns as a pet owner and thoroughly explains any medical problems as well as any lab results, treatment plans, and/or medications needed. Dr. Gina is an absolute ROCKSTAR in the veterinary community.

My 3 year old cat Chloe was throwing up on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. She was not eating,…read moredrinking water or using the bathroom. She was lethargic and would not jump to lay in the window or get on the bed. She had eaten some of our rabbit Sparrow's hay. Some of it came up in her vomit. I was concerned that she had an intestinal blockage because of her throwing up and not going to the restroom. On Monday morning I went to her vet at Destrehan Animal Hospital at 8:00. I did not have an appointment but I was very concerned about Chloe's condition. My daughter and I were very upset. When I explained to the front desk what was going on with Chloe and asking if we could see the vet to get her checked they got her chart ready. I told them that I would not be able to pay today but on Wednesday when my husband's check comes in. I was called to a room where the office manager told me that the vet recommended that I go to either of these other vet offices. One was in Westwego and the other one in New Orleans because they do not do payment plans and the vet (Chloe's doctor) was busy with other patients. I was shocked! We have been taking our dog Daisy to Destrehan Animal Hospital for 13 years and our cat Chloe for 3 years yet her vet would not see her even though it is an emergency. I took Chloe to the vet in Westwego. They were shocked as well that her vet would not see her. This other vet had an office full of other patients to see and had surgery for his patients but agreed to take Chloe. They are keeping her possibly til Thursday. She has a fever and is dehydrated so she is getting fluids. They are watching her and running some tests to see what is going on with her. Dr. Carter would not even look at Chloe or take an x-ray of Chloe because she said it wouldn't show anything (not true!) but the vet at the office in Westwego took an x-ray and it shows a blockage and gas in her intestines. After leaving the vet I went to Destrehan Animal Hospital and got Daisy and Chloe's medical records and told them how upset I was that they refused to treat Chloe even though it was an emergency and she was their patient. I have ALWAYS paid for every visit and never had an issue. After 13 years of going there... I will NOT be going back! If they can't take care of their own patient during an emergency because of money and sent me to another vet they won't have either of my pets as patients. My cat is still at the vet hospital in Westwego and will probably have to have surgery because she still has not eaten or gone to the restroom since Friday. Dr. Carter's priority is money first then patient. Horrible!!

Their prices are also reasonable, and they don't try to upsell you on things you don't need for your pet. I have seen all three vets there, and they all take their time with my pets. I highly recommend.
