Animal Hospital Of Lawrence

I went to this place of business off of the star rating level of care that it had received on google. However I was disappointed. The staff there were immediately very nice, and very affectionate toward my 6 month old kitty Roxy, of which I did appreciate. I spared them a star rating because of this. Initially Roxy was not eating and hardly drinking for a couple days. So I saw Dr. Coles at the Animal Hospital of Lawrence. The Dr. did not treat Roxy to the proper medications needed. Nor did I feel he was very affectionate toward her. I was billed $90 for an anti nausea/anti -diarrheal medication and was sent on my way stating there was nothing else he can do at the time, and to come back for a follow up visit. To conclude the meds he provided gave her absolutely no assistance for her conditions and she became very docile. Meanwhile, down the block Dr. Lewis was fantastic! On my first visit he was very affectionate toward Roxy, and prescribed her an antibiotic that helped her almost immediately at a $50 charge.I apologize but I would not recommend this facility. At least for little kitties.. Read Less

So frustrating when a place is so absolutely unhelpful!I'm just getting settled in to town and realized it's almost summer and my dog has no flea meds. I looked on the "locate a retailer" section of the flea product's website and found this place. When I called to verify they had it, I was told "that's a prescription medication that we only give to clients" as if I'm asking them to supply me with narcotics or something. I guess they don't want me as a client? They obviously don't care if my dog suffers, so I guess I'm glad they rejected me! Read Less

Dr. Coles and the staff at the Animal Hospital of Lawrence are extremely kind and attentive people. They have always provided my cat, Korra, with exceptional care, and they try to keep your budget in mind when setting up treatment plans. When Korra became very ill and had to be taken to an emergency hospital, they provided blankets and a heating pad for her comfort; they even offered to do blood work in-house so that the work would not have to be done at the hospital, which saved us a lot of money. AHL is hands down the best vet in town, and I recommend that everyone bring their animal there for care! Read Less

My dog had an obstruction and I brought him here the morning after I took him the emergency vet in KC (Blue Pearl) in the middle of the night. I had been given a quote of $3000 by the emergency vet, I was a college student, by myself, and so worried about my dog I had no idea what to do. The staff made me feel so much better and took such good care of my Harry I am forever grateful for them!! Read Less

We have nothing but gratitude for the care provided by Dr. Bayouth and the staff at Animal Hospital of Lawrence. They provided years of care for our dog Sadie. In the final weeks of her life, the staff was compassionate in their guidance and provided us support beyond her final moments. Thank you. Read Less

I came here under the worst of circumstances. My 4 year old cat became notably ill over a holiday weekend and I took him on a Monday. Dr. Bayouth took care of my cat and helped me through the process of understanding what was happy. The unfortunate side of this was that nothing could be done to save him, though they tried. He was there with them for two days, on the third I took him home to spend the final days with me. When I came to get him the woman who helped me talked about what a talker my little boy was and all his little quirks with hugging the warmth. While a simple conversation it was a kind reminder of my silly, warmth stealing boy. Dr. Bayouth called two days later to check in. By then he had passed but I really appreciated taking the time to check in and the compassion that everyone I spoke to had. I received a carnation that expressed their sympathy. I am very glad my friend recommended them to me. Thank you so much. Read Less

Having evolved over several decades as pet owner from fish to birds to guinea pigs to a rabbit, I finally (when approaching my fifties) got into a position of feeling like I could afford a dog. I got a purebred (yellow) lab puppy that I named Kafka. I started out with a vet that I ended up extremely unhappy with after 9-12 months, and then started with the Animal Hospital of Lawrence, only about 20 yards way from my apartment and have been with them ever since. Kafka lived to be almost 14 and 1/2 years old and his end at the clinic was as gentle and kind as I could hope for. I initially *thought* I would never get another canine companion but another dog's story (his lab-mix mother, Penny, was apparently an escape artist and escaped *2* foster homes while pregnant, the second escape was when she was nearing the birth time). But she was found in time and the puppies were born at the Lawrence Humane Society. When I undertook committing to Bill, her only male puppy, there was no question where Bill would go for his vet treatment. The staff, to a person, are exceptional in every important way. I'm not surprised to see such a high percentage of 5-star ratings and have decided to add one more.Read Less

I've been taking my pets to AHL for over 15 years. I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with each vet. Dr. Bayouth is our primary and I have always appreciated how his main goal is a happy, healthy animal and to achieve this without medication or procedure unless truly necessary. The cost for procedures is very reasonable when compared to some other clinics. Bayouth once told me (in regards to a dental cleaning) he doesn't want an animal to not get important care because the cost is prohibitive. I can't say enough good things about the vets and the staff. Read Less

They're honest and we trust them. Very gentle with our cats. One of our cats, Molly, had breast cancer. Dr. Heeb operated and got almost all of it. She lived for 18 more months. We finally took Molly there to have her put to sleep as the cancer had metastasized into her lungs and she could hardly breathe. Marsh was kind and gentle and let us all spend time with Molly before she passed. We too Molly home and there was a rose bud at our door with their condolences. We've not gone anywhere else since. I trust them implicitly. Read Less

We move a lot so see a lot of different vets. The doctors and staff at the Animal Hospital treated us well and took great care of our aging cat. I happily recommend them without hesitation; they're skilled, thoughtful and want to work with you to find the best treatment (not always the most aggressive) for your animal. Read Less

We had sick cat that we took there, and he had to be hospitalized for a week. Dr. Bayouth called us every day, even on the weekends to keep us updated. He has always been very good with our pets and we have always been very pleased with the care for the last 8 years. Read Less

Just brought our puppy home who was very ill... the entire staff is very caring and we are so grateful!!!.We are so lucky to Have found you!!! Thank.you for caring for our animals as though they are your family members too! :-) Read Less

I recently moved to lawrence with my 5 year old pitbull! Shortly after the move he started vomiting but had no other symptoms. I had to wait 3 days to get him in but that is the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. Other than the wait the staff was very nice to me & my dog, the vet was knowledgeable and interacted with Kyng (my dog) well. He was given a bland food for the weekend after testing negative for parasites and the worms and sure enough he stopped puking that day! They gave me a coupon to use for the food that saved me about 12 dollars so it wasn't outrageously expensive. I will definitely be sticking with them. Hopefully the availability gets better!

My beagle, Maddie, has been going to the Animal Hospital of Lawrence since I first got her in 2007. Dr. Coles has been our vet of choice and he is such an asset to the clinic -- whether it is travel forms, routine visits or more serious issues. Most recently, Dr. Coles and Heeb worked closely with me on a pain management regimen for my dog (following an injury) and he has followed up regularly to check on Maddie's progress. Just as important...he is very patient with concerned and stressed pet-parents! Thanks. Read Less

I needed 2 vaccine boosters for my dog, one of which is apparently uncommon in KS, since Lyme disease isn't prevalent.  When I called, the woman who answered the phone offered to call around and check with a KC vet to see if they could find the booster.  The other places I called just told me they didn't have it.  I am grateful for this vet office's help.

LoverSawyerTaffyThree very important members of our extended family. Two cats, one very elderly, and an elderly dog. All three have been in the care of Dr. Bayouth who has been caring for our treasured family members for close to 20 years. In his care we feel like they absolutely get the attention and care we want them to have. The entire staff here is just wonderful and really love their patients, this much is obvious. I don't know what else I could say to indicate our appreciation of the staff here. Job well done! Read Less

The Animal Hospital of Lawrence is the best vet office in town - we have tried them all. They have great prices. Our dog has to get her anal sacs expressed once a week and rather than having to pay they taught me how to do it myself at home. Dr. Bayouth has talked with me and helped me a lot with my first old cat whose health is declining. He has talked patiently with me on the phone when I have had questions. The staff is fabulous and super friendly. It is so nice to have a vet office that I can depend on and know my animals are cared about. I HIGHLY recommend. Read Less

Awesome group of caring doctors and animal techs. Their quick thinking and actions in getting us help at KState today is the reason our beloved Weim, Bleu is alive tonight. Thank you all, you are the best!!! Mike, Christy, Joe, Annie, Gracie, (Lily & Jack) Read Less

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Animal Hospital of Lawrence (AHL), even when they've had to see us under negative circumstances.  We have two cats, Osiris and Isis.  Both are of non-specific breeds: Osiris is a long-haired black male and Isis is a short-haired tortoiseshell female.  Both have had their shots done at AHL, and Osiris was neutered and Isis was spayed there.  When Osiris was young, we also had his front claws taken out there because he is an indoor-only cat.Both cats have also had emergency visits, and AHL has been fantastic about all of them.  Osiris has been in twice with bladder issues, and the doctors have been very attentive and caring despite his temperament. You see, Osiris has a Jekyll/Hyde complex -- at home he is docile, lazy, and passive.  But, something clicks at the vet and he turns into a raging machine of aggression, anger, and fear.  The last time he went in with a bladder blockage (very painful, and a very sick kitty) he had to stay a couple of days, and the veterinarians were very professional with him, even when he slashed four scratches down the vet's forearm _with his teeth_.  I applaud their professionalism with our scared devil-cat.Isis also took a trip into AHL when she somehow cut her tongue nearly in half on some still-unknown sharp object.  Though we came in at 4:55p.m. on a Friday, they received her, kept her, stitched her tongue up, and were right there for us in what could otherwise have been a very troubling time.  Thanks to their good work, she made a full recovery, her tongue only shows the faintest trace of having been nearly half-missing, and she's a delightful and loving kitty.In all of my contact with AHL, they have been very forthright, matter-of-fact, and professional in the handling of our pets.  They have my highest recommendation.
