They recently moved to a beautiful new facility, and their service has only gotten better, if that's even possible (It was pretty darn amazing before the move). It's incredibly easy to get appointments, and you never feel rushed. When it was time to put our older dog to rest, Dr. J.M. Stalling provided such compassionate care, truly treating our pet like a valued, very-loved family member - as she was to us. He explained every detail, gave us options, and allowed us all the time we needed to say goodbye before, during & after the process. All of the vets here treat your pets with the same importance as human patients. Their follow-through is stellar, with doctors personally calling after hours to check on test results and health issues. I will never go anywhere else as long as I have pets & live within 30 minutes of the location! P.S. I was compelled to leave a review because I am surprised by some of the negative comments posted here. I have only ever witnessed the staff being kind and respectful to clients/patients & co-workers. Also, it's unfortunate, but it seems some people dealing with the stress of a pet who is ill or the heartbreak of a pet loss may be misdirecting their emotions towards the practice.

ABSOLUTELY! They know who we are by name since our first visit 3 years ago! This is the first vet…read moreand grooming facility that our 3 fur babies do not freak out over. Before moving to Texas one of our fur babies would bark her lil head off the entire time she would be at the groomer so much so that I could hear her outside when I got out of my car. And due to that her baby would just shake. When I picked them up from MAH from grooming I did not hear her and asked them did y'all sedate her?! And they asked who gave her name and they laughed and said "Noooo....why do you ask?" I explained to them and they said no she's been fear the whole time! That enough was well worth it. But everyone was so kind, smiling, and very obvious they love and care about all pets! And it's that way from the desk staff to the techs, to the veterinarians! I'm not sure on everyone's names to call them out so I have to lump everyone together! We love them all! I was also surprised this last time I picked up my babies from grooming when Mya apologized for my sr dog's mouth not being groomed very well because he would not cooperate. He looked great as always! I couldn't see anything wrong! And really if there had been I understand because I know how he's started doing me the older he gets. For grooming customers who have ridiculous expectations I say this try and do what you want them to do yourself with the outcome you expect and then your attitude WILL and SHOULD change. And if so and you've been rude and ugly then you NEED to apologize!

A couple of weeks ago I asked for the heartworm prescription to fill elsewhere. They said OK. A little while later they called back and said my dog needed a heartworm test. I said she had received it in June. Was put on hold several times while they scrambled for reasons why it was not done. First a paperwork error, then Vet made a mistake, then the Vet said we declined (declined then paid for?), then they found the error and credited my account (without telling me?) I demanded a heartworm test refund of $51.49 There was some weird screw up/coverup that was so poorly handled we went back to previous Vet and got the heartworm test there.

Go south! We came here purely for a free wellness visit that was offered through Collin County…read moreAnimal shelter. That visit was over $200. We were recharged a fecal exam that was roughly $135.

My other kitten ended up with the same URI, I took her to our vet in Anna, received 50ml (3 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon) Clavamox $24.45. We will not be back.

When we ran out, the refill here was about $70 for something I found elsewhere for around $35-40. When I asked if they could price match or come closer to that price, they said they couldn't and mentioned they 'have to make money somehow.' It left a bad impression and felt very overpriced compared to other options.

Very bad look for them.

The last time I was there, the receptionist was extremely rude, and that experience alone left a bad taste in my mouth. On top of that, with their prices continuing to go up, we were already questioning whether it was even worth coming back. We seriously considered taking our business somewhere else. But I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. I figured maybe the previous experience was just a bad day, and I was willing to walk through the door again and give them another chance. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for things to start going in the wrong direction again. I brought my dog in because I wanted to have his paws done. I was immediately told that they would need to put a muzzle on him. I asked why, because I had never been told that my dog had bitten anyone. They tried to tell me that he had bitten someone previously, which was news to me. Every time I had brought my dog there before, I had never been informed of anything like that. That is a pretty serious thing to claim about someone's dog, and if something like that had actually happened, I would expect the owner to be told immediately--not to find out later when they suddenly want to put a muzzle on the dog. What bothers me most is that I was willing to overlook the previous rude treatment and the increasing prices and give this business another opportunity. I didn't have to. I chose to. And once again, I walked away feeling like I had made the wrong decision. A business can charge whatever it wants, but when customers are paying increasingly high prices, the least they should be able to expect is respectful communication, professionalism, and transparency. After these experiences, I have a very difficult time recommending Lake Forest Animal Hospital. There are plenty of businesses that understand that their customers--and their pets--deserve to be treated with respect. Unfortunately, this has not been my experience here. We gave Lake Forest another chance. They gave us another reason not to come back.

I took my chihuahua in for a UTI. And at first they were trying to bill me 900 dollars which is absurd. But, it was the lack of care for my dog which made this awful. My dog has no teeth, so her tongue hangs out. My senior dog is very sensitive and doesn't do well with people besides me and my boyfriend, and I told them that. But when they took her back to do her bloodwork, which was very painful for her, all I could hear was the techs laughing and laughing at her while she was crying and screaming. It was already an emotional time for me, since she was peeing blood I was expecting the worse. And hearing them laugh and make fun of my dog while she is in pain, was a huge stab to my trust of this establishment.
