Lake Jackson Animal Hospital
Tallahassee, Florida
General Info
Lake Jackson Animal Hospital in Tallahassee delivers veterinary services through deliberate discussions, step-by-step treatment development, and shared decision-making processes for pet families throughout Florida. During appointments healthcare professionals initiate discussions by reviewing patient behavior patterns and home routines while addressing any emerging concerns since the previous visit. Veterinarians assess body condition weight stability oral health gait patterns skin sensitivity and joint range of motion. Through these check-ins veterinarians can identify nuanced problems while tailoring healthcare according to a pet’s specific age, breed and environmental factors. The range of available services encompasses laboratory testing, parasite control measures, nutritional guidance, senior pet support programs, and pain management techniques. Medical conditions like arthritis and GI problems as well as chronic allergies require detailed step-by-step treatment planning. Before proceeding, owners receive detailed education about various care options and their associated timelines, results, and costs. Lake Jackson Animal Hospital provides support for families managing post-operative care alongside long-term medication treatments and multi-pet maintenance needs. Every visitation occasion triggers an update to centralized records. Written care summaries alongside home instructions and reminders help clients maintain clear communication and continued adherence to care plans. The dedicated staff of Lake Jackson Animal Hospital maintains availability to address inquiries during intervals between patient visits. Families in Tallahassee recognize the evolving care for their pets whether it involves mobility support for senior pets or wellness exams for puppies without losing focus. The interplay between consistent behavior and adaptive responses enables Florida pets to flourish throughout their various life stages.

Dr. Billings and his staff are amazing! After being at another clinic for years and years, we moved to Lake Jackson and have never looked back. They make sure my boxer, Bruno, gets the absolutely best care possible at the best price possible! His staff is extremely helpful and always kind and cooperative with clients. Being a smaller clinic, I know that Bruno is getting walked regularly and getting a proper amount of time outside, which is something I can't say about our previous clinic. I cannot say enough good things about Lake Jackson and Dr. Billings!

Dr Billing once ran a very good operation but of late he seems more interested in collecting money than in the health of my dog. All of his rates are way up (I checked it out.). One of his current staff failed to perform a proper ear cleaning on my dog, Brandy, and when I brought it up and asked for a partial refund in view of the 22 mile round trip I had to make for a "comp" redo, he went all passive aggressive about it and I got a reply along the lines of a counter complaint about how high his standards of care were. Well, they once were but that's all over and I am now at a much better clinic after 25 years of being his faithful client. No longer recommended.

I have a 4 year old Labrador retriever and a 14 year old Chihuahua. I'm a fiercely devoted pet momma (I take my dogs' health more seriously than my own!). That is probably why I found myself jumping from vet to vet. I couldn't find someone who cared about my pets as much as I do. My pets have been patients of Oakwood Animal Hospital (1 star), North Florida Animal Hospital (3 stars), and South Monroe Animal Hospital (2 stars). Each of these places had problems with price hiking, recommending/requiring unnecessary procedures, and a lack of follow-up and/or customer service. Sheer frustration with SMAH drove me to start asking around for yet another vet. My neighbors, whose dog has been a lifelong patient here, told me about this place. What a relief it was to find them! Dr. Billings and his staff are amazing! There are just no words to describe the level of care and support they have provided over the last couple years. The employees at the front desk, the vet technicians, and the vet himself set an example that other veterinarians in the Tallahassee area should be aspiring to. They are always available to take my questions and concerns and they get back to me immediately. They even call me every so often to check in on my chihuahua who has heart problems. On more than one occasion when my dog had very troubling symptoms, Dr. Billings has either stayed late or adjusted his schedule on short notice just so he could see my dog that day. I love this place. They provide exemplary service our animal friends (while providing emotional support to their distraught owners) and never try to over-charge.
Thank you, everyone at Lake Jackson Animal Hospital! As long as I live in Tallahassee, my pets will be your patients.

Since moving to Tallahassee in 2002, we have appreciated the great care and consistent kindness we receive from Dr. Billings and the entire staff of Lake Jackson Animal Hospital. If you want humane treatment for your animals and yourself, look no further: whether our visit is for an urgent problem, a chronic illnesses, or just a routine check-up, there's no place we'd rather go. I have no doubt that our first set of cats lived years longer (and more comfortably) than they would have without Dr. Billings' pharmacological knowledge, and one of our current cats would almost certainly have died as a kitten without his intervention. I don't often give a five-star rating, but it's well deserved.

Dr. Billings is a wonderful vet and all of the staff are friendly and very professional. They even wrote us a card and all of the staff signed it when we had to put our dog down. The prices aren't too unreasonable, but it's definitely worth it with the service you get here. I'll never take my pets anywhere else in town.

We took our puppy to Lake Jackson Animal Hospital for the first time about a year(+) ago and have been going back ever since. The staff is very nice and attentive and the vet is not an alarmist. As first-time dog owners we've walked in several times thinking the world was going to end, only to be calmed by Dr. Billings. He could make hundreds of dollars by telling us "Oh yes, we must test for everything it might be [insert most dire situation here]" but instead he tells you what he really thinks it is, gives you the solution, and advices you to bring her back if there are any concerns. I wish more human doctors were like him, he's truly exceptional.

Lake Jackson Animal Hospital is the best I have ever been to, they have helped out my family with our pets for years! We would never consider changing vets at all. They are considerate and understanding. They treat the animals well weather you are boarding them while you go on a trip or just taking them in for a check-up, they treat them nicely either way. They also have a very clean facility. I would never have any other vet in the world other than Lake Jackson.
