Lovers Lane Animal Medical Center

I’ve used this vet for probably 25 years, a great convenient establishment! They’ve been a perfect doc for my many pets over the years.

Been coming here for a year now. The staff here is friendly and caring. They have been very flexible as well with my work schedule — often I drop my pup off before work and pick her up on my way home. Dr. Jiranek is great!

I’ve been taking my dogs and cats to this center (mainly Dr. Martin) for years. He’s one of the best vets I’ve been to. BUT the prices at this center have soared over the years, making this place mucho expensive. If cost is no issue, I highly recommend this center. But if cost is an issue for you, I recommend you look elsewhere.

Whatever you do, get a second opinion if you come here. We were going to this clinic for at least 6 months and I finally became fed up with our Doctor’s dismissive tone. He hated that I challenged his diagnosis and told my husband (while I was in the room) «to keep your wife off the Internet». The doctors here love to hand out antibiotics, probiotics and send you on your way. I pushed back a few times asking about raw diets, supplements, anything but antibiotics to cure my puppy’s loose stool. The answer was always science diet– shocker, most vet offices are comped off this horrible kibble.
Katy Trail Animal Hospital is our new vet and I could not be happier. On our first visit, the doctor spent an hour with me talking about NutraScan (a saliva test for allergies) supplements for his food and the benefits of a raw diet vs cooked food. I also see a holistic vet (Dr Pam @ Vitality Pet Clinic) bc we’re trying to undo the damage caused by too many antibiotics from traditional medicine.
Such a shame bc I loved Lovers Lane staff. They were always so friendly and helpful with last minute appointments. Can’t say the same for the male Vets there who seem to disregard their female clients!

I think that they are a little more expensive than other Vets in the area, BUT they are worth every extra penny.
Dr. Linley is the best. Even though she had not the best news to deliver to my about my kitty, she handled everything with sincerely and compassion.
I HIGHLY recommend her and her and the staff there, and I will continue to pay a little extra for their talents!!!
Thank you!

Dr. Hays, Martin and their staff were a blessing to my family. Over the last couple of years, I had taken my dog (Murphy) to multiple vets. he had been struggling with weight control and digestive issues however the other vets never could diagnose him. Murphy’s trainer was concerned about his weight so he took him to his preferred vet being LLAMC… and I am more than thankful. He was immediately diagnosed with EPI and placed on enzymes. That being said, Murph had taken too hard of a hit over the years and we had to make a tough decision. Needless to say, the staff couldn’t have been more compassionate. It was an incredibly tough week and they constantly checked in on us… even after Murphy was gone. The diagnosis was much needed closure and clarity for years of challenge. FYI — I live in Fort Worth… and I will only consider them now (despite the drive). Thank you LLAMC for everything.

Dr. Hays, Dr. Martin and their staff are beyond exceptional. Dr. Hays delivered our German short-​haired pointer pups (mid birth, the mother became distressed & was rushed to Dr. Hays. He saved the puppies & kept the biggest one (affectionately called Plug) because he grew attached. That was 14 years ago, and we continue to bring our 2 remaining pups from that litter (13 ½ years old today) to LLAMC as we reach the toughest time of life for our aging dogs. We would never go anywhere else — and my entire family (sister, mother-​in-​law, father-​in-​law) all take their animals for the past 17 years. As far as I’m concerned, choosing Dr. Hays as our vet was every bit as important as choosing my pediatrician.

Lovers Lane came highly recommended by the management of our dog-​friendly apartment complex, so I gave them a try. The staff is incredibly kind and you can tell that they are all animal people. They could almost always get me in the same day that I called, so making appointments was always easy and convenient.
I cannot say the same for the quality of care my Pug received at the clinic. The technicians and Vet Dr.‘s are all very kind, but, they misdiagnosed my dog’s skin condition several times. Now, she has an awful staaph infection that could have been taken care of long ago if she were diagnosed correctly the first time. The first visit she was diagnosed with «dermatitis» and given steroids and antibiotics. The second time, when the rash began to spread all over her body, and I asked the Dr. directly, «Is this a staaph infection?» She replied with «Maybe. I would have to take a test to determine that.» We were sent home again with anti-​biotics and steroids. The bumps and rash continued to spread.
A few weeks later, I got a second opinion. They thumbed through her hair and within 30 seconds they could recognize the dry, flaky, circular rings and bumps as staaph.
On another occasion, I took her in to Lover’s Lane for anal gland expression only to be charged $ 16 — I got her home and she continued to scoot around like crazy for the rest of the day. The tech who performed the expression told me that there «wasn’t much» — again, the second opinion vet said that her glands were completely full (and they didn’t charge me).
I would not recommend Lover’s Lane for their medical treatment. They are very kind people, but they don’t know what they’re doing.

Great customer service — good location — just down the street, BUT — prices are higher than other vets. If price is of no concern then go there, they are good at what they do. As for me, I have to watch my pennies — so I will be looking for an alternative.

I have been taking my animals here for several years. The facility is always clean and doesn’t smell like animals (you know what I’m talking about). The staff is very friendly and always fawns over my pets. You can tell they all genuinely love working with animals.
Dr. Lon Hayes is my doctor and he is wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and can explain medical issues in a way that anyone can understand.
They also always get you in within 5 – 10 of your appt. time and don’t make you wait forever like some places. They have a large parking lot ad since it’s right off Lovers Lane, it is very easy to get in and out of there.
