Animal Clinic of Windermere

I love this clinic!!! And so does my puppy! Everyone is so nice, helpful and they love all pets!!! Really special staff. My puppy’s Doctor is Dr. Chesanek and she’s amazing! My puppy adores her!!! Highly recommend

First of all, I want to point out Dr. Anderson… she is the vet of all three of my large dogs and she is the best.
BUT, I am a very mad momma! My 2.5 year old Goldendoodle is sick and I had to work yesterday so my mom had to take her to the clinic on a work-​in appointment. My pup saw Dr. Speicher, who I for one, never go to after a previous bad experience. Almost $ 400 later, they couldn’t figure out why she was sick other than to say her white blood cell count was low. Then they gave my mom a huge bag full of specialty food and medicine (Cerenia, Metronidazole, etc) that my mom didn’t know how to deal with, so she just paid for it and came home. When I got home from work, I came home to a drugged out dog full of shots and medications! She hasn’t ate or drank since and I am very upset! Also, Claire is 40 lbs… they gave her Proviable for small dog under 20 lbs!!! Who flubs that up?!
If I don’t hear from them first from this Unilocal!comment, I’ll be on the phone first thing tomorrow when they open. I lost a dog once from a vet’s negligence and that will not happen again.
Don’t go to anyone but Dr. Anderson and make sure to always double check what the assistants give you… this isn’t the first time they’ve screwed up medication. The last time, they gave me Sentinel for small dogs too. Their lack of attention to detail is mortifying.

Very bad experience! Pet Owners Beware! After a family emergency, we had to kennel our beloved dog. During his 5 day stay, he was returned to us with pneumonia, inability to walk & conveniently «referred» to an upscale hospital for an MRI indicating our pet’s arthritis (normal with aging), suddenly led to paralysis. We believed the vet because we trusted them. We were so wrong! To add insult to emotional pain, we were given a $ 500+ vet bill. We later found out (by a receptionist reading us the file), the vet performed acupuncture on our dog WITHOUT permission. Why? What happened to our dog? Why hide acupuncture? Lame explanation from a tech. Dr. Won’t return calls. After spending thousands of dollars and doing everything for our dog, even though he is healthy, happy & desperately wants to walk, he is unable. We know he will have to leave us. The injury is in his upper neck, which he had never had a neck injury or any arthritis in. Also, later we found out that he had a «foot sore» from not being walked or moved during his kennel stay! We are losing a beloved family member who did nothing but happily walk into the vet wagging his tail and left the vet paralyzed. We trusted this vet and we were so wrong. Please take this post seriously as I never write a poor review and only want to prevent any other family from this horrible experience!

decent vet care… if you can afford it. plan on dropping at least $ 200 a visit, over $ 1000 if it is an emergency.

Really great clinic. My animals have been going there since I was a little girl. I also worked there until I had to move (when i became a bigger girl). I’ve had experience as a client AND an employee, and I still highly recommend them. It’s a great team and they practice good medicine.

I just love taking my pup here. Always great service, and each vet we have seen has been fantastic. We have seen Dr Buster the most, we request her because she has been so sweet and attentive, and very right on about a few issues. I don’t know if this place is really expensive or not, it’s the only vet I have ever taken my dog to. It’s close to home and I am happy with the service, so we will still continue to use them.

Ive been going here for more than 10 years with all of my pets. It’s a 45 minute drive for me, and I live less than 10 minutes from 4 different vet offices. They have always been so kind, and so loving to me and the animals that make my family. We had a cat that a different vet said there was no hope for. Then, we found the Animal Clinic of Windermere, and that cat suddenly had 5 extra years he wouldn’t have had if we stuck with our last vet. We’ve been here ever since.

Awesome clinic! Highly recommend.

Very Disappointing!
I generally never write reviews, however, having gone through my experience with these doctors, I think it is important for all pet owners to beware. Please note that I am not writing this review based on 1 single experience. This is based on several visits and eventually a sick puppy.
My puppy had been sick, with bloody stools, and I took her to Animal Clinic of Windermere. Rather then examining her, they simply wrote out a script for medication that had to be given. Fine, having been with them for a couple years, I trusted their judgement. Two days after the medication is finished, my puppy lands up in the same situation with loose stools and no appetite, mistakes in the house etc. When I contact the Clinic they take the matter so lightly.
In the end, I cannot risk my health, my family’s health, or my dog’s health. I would never recommend this Clinic for any pet.
