Used DeVun services when we were in St. Bernard years ago and now drive from Slidell to the Mandeville office. We had tried 2 other vets in Slidell to treat our Sheltie and our cat. After these experiences, it is not an option for anyone else to treat our pets other than John Devun. Not just a great vet, but an even greater human being. Read Less

Honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. John Devun is the most honest, caring, knowledgeable veterinarian, and the staff is great too (Anne, I’m looking at you!). I always get nervous with my mastiff around people that he’s not super familiar with, and they always handle him amazingly and do their best to put my mind at ease. I trust them unconditionally, and will never bring my pets anywhere else. And I live in New Orleans! But the drive is always worth the extraordinary care that they provide. Read Less

I can't even define how the staff at Devun managed to make an absolutely tragic event with our dog even more tragic. The veterinarians themselves are good, but the office staff is immeasurably horrible. Truly made a horrible experience so much worse. Will never return. Paid them $3000 only to be treated disgracefully by staff. Sadly, the vets are responsible too l, as they apparently encourage the rude behavior of their staff. Read Less

I have a male (neutered) Rottweiler/Catahoula/Dachshund-mix that is, unfortunately, fear-based aggressive towards other dogs and people he isn't use to. Before moving out here in Mandeville, I was seeing this vet clinic in Slidell whom I found to be a bit rough with my four-legged son. Yes he's a nipper and yes I would have to give him sedatives before his visit but slamming my dog down on the table where he would yelp was a bit extreme. Not to mention made my dog ever more fearful of the vet, which in turn made him more aggressive. Then we moved out here to lovely Mandeville and bounced around at a few different vets, in hopes of finding a dr who would take time with my dog ("Gigolo"). Not having with a Vet that just storms in the exam room, freaks my dog out with all the poking and probing, and then runs out. It was my friend and former apts assistant manager who recommended Dr. DeVun. She explained he is a little costly side but VERY patient and caring of the animals. Well that first visit to Dr. DeVun was six years ago and visits to him still continue today, and I couldn't be happier. Since with him I noticed Gigolo has calm a bit with vet visits. Don't get me wrong, he still has his moments of aggressive outburst (normally when his paws are being checked) but NOTHING like before. He doesn't even shake like a leaf while in the waiting room, something Gigolo would always do before. I don't even have to sedate Gigolo any more. For past six years, other then his "yearly's", has had two surgeries (neutered and lump removal), and treatments for his allergies to fleas. Dr. DeVun and his assistants are great. I have not one compliant them and the office staff. They only thing I wish is that they'd allow like a payment plan or something for those times of emergencies or when the bill gets too high. I mean it would help instead putting off treatments until the money can be saved up. But with that said, I still honestly give 5 stars and highly recommended them.Read Less

This vet is FANTASTIC.  First, a great guy, friendly, nice and spends whatever time is needed to answer questions that all pet owners want to know.  He also gives dining out tips of great places to eat! (I just moved here from Florida)My chocolate lab had a bad skin condition and while I knew he would probably be put on antibiotics the vet suggested his thyroid be checked...no other vet had ever suggested it and sure enough he had very low thyroid levels.My dog looks like a new dog in only one month!!!  I'm happy and the vet said he too was thrilled to see the progress.The office is clean and neat and smells good too.  The front desk staff has been nothing but NICE and efficient.You will NOT be sorry to put your pet in this man's hands.  FYI he's right off the highway so it's easy to get to.

Wow, I can't believe that this wonderful vet has a one-star review. I took my beloved 15 yr old cat (Boo) to Dr. Devun today -- my cat had an eye infection and in the last few days, his left eye started to bleed. It was horrible. When Dr. Devun was examining  my poor kitty, he noticed that Boo's head was unevenly shaped -- his left side was protruding, hinting at a cancerous lesion  that was forcing itself on his eyes. While Dr. Devun was gently examining my cat, Boo started bleeding from his nostrils -- it started dripping down the whole table. He also had a lot of breathing problems; Dr. Devun pointed out how Boo took in air, but shuddered as he expelled it -- also pointing to a cancer mass. I went in hoping for some antibiotic eye drops, but once Boo started bleeding from his nose and eyes (which he was doing at home, but I didn't realize the full extent) I knew I couldn't put my sweet cat through any more misery. Dr. Devun explained all of our options, very patiently, and genuinely cared about Boo and my feelings. He asked about my kids, their ages, etc and offered advice on how to break the news. He was so empathetic and caring, and gave me a full hour of his time. He let me hold my sweet little man as long as I wanted, and gave me tissues while I cried. After Boo was sedated, he asked me if I wanted to be there for the euthansia....I couldn't. Dr. Devun hugged me and was so sensitive to my grief. He carried Boo out in a blanket and sent him to Heaven. I will always be grateful for Dr. Devun's kindness and sensitivity. He gave me the news straight up, outlined my options, and, when I asked, said what he would do if it Boo were his cat. I am grieving but also grateful that my sweet kitty purred in my arms while I scratched his head while being sedated....and that Dr. Devun took so much time with us and didn't rush my decision. I don't know what I want to do with Boo's body yet, and the staff told me not to worry but just let them know when I'm ready. Read Less

I've never been to this veterinary hospital, but I did have Dr. DeVun as a vet for years. He is the best there is. He's very compassionate and very patient. I had a dog that was pretty unruly and most other vets just didn't have the patience with her. Dr. DeVun was a life saver. He understood and took the time to care for her when others wouldn't. I was really sad to see him leave Chalmette. You and your pet will be very happy to have him as your Doc. Read Less

I took my beloved 15 yr old cat (Boo) to Dr. Devun today -- my cat had an eye infection and in the last few days, his left eye started to bleed. It was horrible. When Dr. Devun was examining  my poor kitty, he noticed that Boo's head was unevenly shaped -- his left side was protruding, hinting at a cancerous lesion  that was forcing itself on his eyes. While Dr. Devun was gently examining my cat, Boo started bleeding from his nostrils -- it started dripping down the whole table. He also had a lot of breathing problems; Dr. Devun pointed out how Boo took in air, but shuddered as he expelled it -- also pointing to a cancer mass. I went in hoping for some antibiotic eye drops, but once Boo started bleeding from his nose and eyes (which he was doing at home, but I didn't realize the full extent) I knew I couldn't put my sweet cat through any more misery. Dr. Devun explained all of our options, very patiently, and genuinely cared about Boo and my feelings. He asked about my kids, their ages, etc and offered advice on how to break the news. He was so empathetic and caring, and gave me a full hour of his time. He let me hold my sweet little man as long as I wanted, and gave me tissues while I cried. After Boo was sedated, he asked me if I wanted to be there for the euthansia....I couldn't. Dr. Devun hugged me and was so sensitive to my grief. He carried Boo out in a blanket and sent him to Heaven. I will always be grateful for Dr. Devun's kindness and sensitivity. He gave me the news straight up, outlined my options, and, when I asked, said what he would do if it Boo were his cat. I am grieving but also grateful that my sweet kitty purred in my arms while I scratched his head while being sedated....and that Dr. Devun took so much time with us and didn't rush my decision. I don't know what I want to do with Boo's body yet, and the staff told me not to worry but just let them know when I'm ready. Read Less

I am new to the area (1 week) and went to this vet when I noticed blood on my dogs fur. When I looked there were wounds. I went in with the dog and was told they would not see him. It is by appointment only. This behavior is against the state board which says they cannot refuse care to an animal.Read Less

There is just too much to say. Everyone at the hospital is just so professional and friendly. They treat your animal as if it were their own. I recommend this Veterinary hospital to everyone!

I've never been to this veterinary hospital, but I did have Dr. DeVun as a vet for years. He is the best there is. He's very compassionate and very patient. I had a dog that was pretty unruly and most other vets just didn't have the patience with her. Dr. DeVun was a life saver. He understood and took the time to care for her when others wouldn't. I was really sad to see him leave Chalmette. You and your pet will be very happy to have him as your Doc. Read Less
