Lake Shore Animal Hospital

took our cat here and after xrays Dr Ting said cat’s lungs were full of fluid and extracting fluid would be dangerous and futile. He’s basically suffocating. She said take him home give him love and you’ll know when its time to put him to sleep. Heartbroken… we went to another vet in Tremont who immediately gave him a diuretic and slowly began his turnaround. After another xray, the fluid is mostly gone and the cat is doing fabulously!!! He’s now on an appetite inducer, gaining weight, purring, sitting on our laps and interacting like he used to! I’m highly disappointed, I don’t think Dr Ting’s heart is in it anymore.

Today was my first and last visit to lake shore animal hospital. My boyfriend has a large dog 145 lbs. who has a skin irritation we made an appointment and took the dog in. We waited over an hour before being seen by the vet dr. Ting. She literally did not even touch the dog or do more than glance at the area of issue. I was highly disappointed by this as well as her complete lack of bedside manner. She was visibly frightened by the dog and was trying to hide behind the counter top from him. How can you be an effective vet if your afraid of your patients and refuse to actually inspect them. After she diagnosed the dog with hotspots she asked if we would go and put the dog in the car while we waited for the prescriptions, what! I refused to put the dog in the car and she then told me his barking was scaring the other patients, well maybe if we had been seen promptly as opposed to waiting they could have addressed this without insulting me and my dog. They say they love animals and that its there duty to care for them but the apathy and disregard shown to us was astounding. I will not be going back and I highly advise others who don’t care to be treated this way to stay away. On a side note the exam rooms stink and the place looks as though it is trapped in another decade. My advice is stay away you don’t have to be treated this way!

Lake Shore Animal Hospital and its staff are fantastic! We have dealt with them for over nine years and they are wonderful. They were very compassionate when our pet cat crossing the Rainbow Bridge and have great with us and our other pets now. Dr. Debbie Ting and the other docs are great. I would recommend them to anyone.

Been bringing our four animals here for 8 years. We always receive excellent, compassionate care at a reasonable price. Even when it comes to care advice, they are generous and helpful.

$ 318 bill after an appointment for a rabies vaccine. Never ever again. Totally outrageous.

FYI: Erin S. used to work at Lake Shore Animal Hospital and was fired. So take that for what it’s worth!

Great, caring staff. Dr. Teng is great and they don’t gauge you like many other Vets and seem to truly care about the animals and us, the parents.

FYI… Dr. Ed is Jewel’s dad so no wonder she is giving them a glowing review. If you want an outdated doctor and a veterinary clinic straight out of 1976 this the place for you.

This is the best Veterinary Clinic I’ve ever been to. Ever!
Dr Ed is amazing, knowledgeable, and very gentle with my animals. His «bedside manner» is above reproach!
The hospital itself is always clean and tidy, very pleasant and has a soothing atmosphere. It’s very big, with plenty of private exam rooms and really impressive looking equipment. They have their own X-​ray machine and dark room, A sterile surgery ward on site, and a nicely maintained kennel that has been spick and span clean every time i’ve seen it.
They have really nifty view screens in all the exam rooms, that are basically touch screen learning centers. You can look up just about any medical question about your pet, and it will show you pictures, diagrams of the pet’s body and the effected areas, etc. It also has a feature where you can email yourself what you’re looking at! How nifty is that? And it’s a great tool to use with the vet, since he can point out things specific to your pet’s current issue. I’ve found it to be really helpful.
The staff is always nice and friendly, polite and professional. You can tell these people really truly to the bottom of their hearts care about pets, and they care about people who care about their pets! It’s a family run business, too, established by Dr Ed and his wife, Dr Ruthanne. I think their daughter-​in-​law works there, too. It’s nice to know that such family type animal lovers are the one’s taking care of your animal family. I would recomend them to anyone and everyone.
