Sunset Lakes Animal Clinic

Haven’t considered any other veterinarian since I first started taking my pets here years ago. Whether it’s for a routine exam or a stressful life saving surgery, I know my pets have the best care under Dr. Schooley and her stuff. Read Less

The receptionist is a great help and lovely to talk to, but the vet is a bit off. She can be very forward and it seems she may have bias towards certain people. However, there's plenty of parking, the office is clean, and they do a wonderful job caring for your pets. Read Less

Great customer service with staff that shows love for your pets. Being a very picky client this is the only Animal Clinic I'm comfortable with leaving my dog. Dr. Schooley will surely educate and keep you informed of any issues with your pets. I highly recommend Sunset Lakes Animal Clinic! Read Less

They gave me a wrong estimate for neutering and declawing, and by wrong I mean $85 different. When I told them about this I was with a very nasty, rude and unpleasant secretary. The service wasn't cordial at all. Wouldn not recommend unless you happen to meet a nicer employee. Read Less

Excellent experience at Sunset Lakes Animal Hospital. Came in as a walk-in with an emergency and was taken care of immediately. The entire staff is caring and accommodating. The Doctor is exceedingly knowledgeable and saved my animal's life. Thank you for going above and beyond. Read Less

I don't think I could ever thank everyone at at Sunset Lakes Animal Clinic enough for all the care they gave my cat Sprinkles while we where away for 5 days! Dr Mary and her staff are all so kind and loving, there is no other place I would or could ever take my pet!! Thank you all for treating her like your own!! Randi.. Read Less

We are new in the area and after a lot of research I choose sunset lakes animal clinic and I am glad I did!!! Our first experience was so nice!!! My two furry babies Bella and Riggo (English Bulldogs) loved the experience and the doctor. Thank you!! Read Less

Awful.  Worst vet I've ever encountered.    Gave my dog antibiotics for $129 for an ear infection and then when I questioned the price said "what? you can't afford it?".  Such a rude, rude woman.  Before that had my dog neutered there and was quoted one price and then charged way more.  Horrible business practices. Read Less

As a former employee and client I love this place. The medicine she practiced, love and compassion shse shows is hard to find within veterinary field. I absolutely adore Mary and the business she runs! I have no problem recommending her business to anyone I meet. She is genuine and relaible. I would give her 10 stars if possibly! Love you Mary!

Dr Schooley epitomizes the definition of veterinarian. She is warm, caring and intuitive to both you and your pet. i am a long time pet owner ... My "furry family members" have been under dr Schooley's care for 20 years. A huge thank you to both her and her kind staff for everything they have done and continue to do. Read Less

Dr. Schooley is the best with animals. She is well educated and her experience level places her in a league of her own. Definitely worth the drive for any person to bring their beloved animal-you will get the care, personal attention and commitment you expect! Read Less

They are the BEST! I travel an hour one way to go to Dr. Schooley. She and her staff genuinely care about you and your animals. I get called weekly to check up on my animals after my visit. I have a rescue and found 2 kittens on the road, she let me bring them in right away and she took tremendous care of them. Financially she will help you out in any way she can as she is not about money, but about the care of the animals. I understand the cost factor involved in caring for animals being in rescue so I understand that anything that a For Profit Vet can do or give is wonderful as nothing is free and everything cost a lot. I thank Dr. Schooley for helping me out so much with the rescue kittens so that I could give them the proper care they needed. I will continue to travel the hour for the BEST! Read Less

I once read somewhere that to be a good veterinarian you have to care about people. Dr Schooley really cares about you and your pet. She is genuine, honest, smart and thorough. I wish I had known of her earlier, I think my Sheba would still have a few more years with me. I would have been more educated on how to care for her. Do yourself and your four legged family member a favor and visit Dr Schooley's clinic. You will get the opportunity for the best of care, and a doctor who listens and asks the right questions. Thank you Dr Schooley for caring for my family and my cat Sheba.Read Less

Dr, Schooley and her are the best. Loving, caring, and so good with not with just the pets but with the owners too. Dr Schooley is an amazing practitioner , she takes her time to work the problem / diagnosis and you can feel confident in her treatment plan. This is a 5 star practice Read Less

I don't even know where to begin. Dr. Schooley baffled us with a positively overwhelming amount of knowledge when we first got Troy, a beautiful Husky pup & she continues to do so. Her extensive knowledge, experience, & tact has not only comforted us & helped start us on a journey in raising the perfect dog, but also helped him get better through 2 health related episodes we've had since we got him. She is AMAZING & Troy loves her. Her staff is awesome and they couldn't make a better team. Choosing a vet is an important decision & I can confidently say you will not be disappointed in choosing Sunset Lakes Animal Clinic! We love you Dr. Schooley!! -The Casanova Family #myvetsbetterthanyours #Husky #Troy Read Less

D. Schooley is a wonderful, compassionate and knowledgeable Veterinarian. She really cares about YOU and your pet. In our case having owned sharpeis (4) over a twenty year span, we have had numerous problems which is generic to the breed. Our sweet Beyonce age 3 our latest is the nicest, sweetist one so far but unfortunately poorly bred. After consulting with several Vets in the area no one knew what her problem was and she was suffering with various symptoms. Dr. Schooley correctly addressed her problems, told us possible treatments and explained various risks inherent in her eighth surgery in 2.5 years. To make a long story short she correctly diagnosed the problem and made sure she had the best surgeon in the area on call. She also followed up with us and the surgeon, closely monitoring Beyonce's post surgical care. She is a true professional and a wonderful human being and we are truly appreciative of her care for our pups and her concern for us.. We have used her for our labrador, Taz as well and he and Beyonce are now doing great. I unequivocally recommend her to take care of your pets and know that she will give your pets the best possible care. I should add the staff, at Sunset Lakes, including Meiti, Meicka, Nick and Katrina are outstanding, friendly and follow up with you to see if everyting is ok with your pets. Lyle Milstein M.Ed.

I love Sunset Lakes Animal Clinic and wouldn't trust my pet/pets to any other veterinarian. Mary Schooley is amazing! She is extremely knowledgable and thorough, the office is always spic-n-span clean and all of the staff are so super friendly and so professional. It's pretty far for me to drive there, but worth every mile and minute! Read Less

What can I say say about Dr. Mary Schooley....back in 1981 when she took care and saved our African Grey Pepito.. Then we adopted from her office a black rabbit and two calico cats, kit Kat and Reese's, in the mid 1990 as well as our black cat tiger, she managed to always make them better... Our red and blue macaw Lorenzo and Max were also her patients for many years... Rufo our beloved beagle for 18 years until he past away... I thank God for putting Dr. Schooley in our lives and THANK her, for always coming to the right conclusion and solution in making our pets better!!!!! Now we have two beagles Charlie and Mollie, as well as a cockatoo Luna, Resses the cat, Bruno the boxer and Duke the Great Dane...all of my pets healthy in the loving and caring hands of Dr Mary Schooley.....Read Less

I recently moved here with two older dogs. One had not walked in almost a year. We had been trying to manage her care but she getting worse. Schooly was very hands-on and could tell right away what the problem was. She told me, "I don't want you spending your money here, I'm going to send you to someone who can help." She made an appointment right there with a specialist in Fort Lauderdale who was just what we needed. The specialist told us there was nothing that could be done for our immobile dog, she would never walk again. The dog was developing other health issues due to being bed-ridden. We ultimately decided to take her back to Schooley to have the dog euthanized.  That same day our other dog was not looking so well. We took him in to Schooley. He was severely anemic and needed a blood transfusion. They have a blood donor right there in the office. He is a big 'ol German Shepherd named Hank. So we got some Hank-blood and our dog was looking great again. Schooley made an appointment to have an ultrasound for our dog to see why our dog had gotten so sick. The ultrasound tech met with us there. Our dog had a massive tumor wrapped around his spleen and other organs. Even with surgery, he wouldn't live more than a few months. He got sick two weeks later and was euthanized. Schooley was great, not only with us, but to my children as well. These kids had just lost both their dogs they had known there whole lives in just two weeks. Schooley was sweet and compassionate to them. She has like 6 kids of her own, so she has a lot of experience.  Now we have two new dogs, one is an older puppy. I've had to bring her in a few times already because she is one hot mess. The pup had developed a huge lump on the top of her head. Schooley felt the pup's head and could tell she had chipped her skull. We didn't need to waste money on xrays. Strict cage-rest for puppy that we could do at home and meds. A few months later, same puppy ate a needle. Took an xray, saw the needle. Schooley advised bulking up her stool so pup could pass the needle without surgery. Took pup in a few days later for another xray, needle is gone. No surgery needed.  Schooley is a good, 'ol country gal from Alabama with a bunch of kids and animals. She's honest and a straight talker. She's not going to try to confuse you with technical terms. She makes sure your family understands exactly whats going on with your furbabies.  Last but definitely not least, Sunset Lakes animal hospital team is super. Do they ever sleep? They are always there. Katrina, the lady whose name always escapes me and Victor are always great with my family. Read Less

Dr. Schooley has been the trusted vet of my choice for over 30 years! She has cared for every animal I had. I trust no other and still refer people whenever the opportunity arises. Dr. Schooley, me and my family, and pets as well, thank you for so many years of 150% of your all! Read Less

Dr. Schooley and her amazing miracle working staff did it again! They just brought my cat Bob back from the brink of death. He had critical pneumonia and now he's home and on the mend. I wouldn't take my furry ones any where else! They care, they call, they educate...and I've never met a better vet and more genuinely wonderful staff. Read Less
