Bayou Animal Clinic

Slidell, Louisiana
General Info
It is very important to us that both you and your pet have positive experiences while in our care. You know valuable and useful information about your pet’s normal activity and health, so communication is key to our approach.
Bayou Animal Clinic’s practice philosophy is that preventative medicine is always more successful than emergency medicine. Bayou Animal Clinic recommends yearly physical exams and vaccinations coupled with senior wellness exams after the age of five years old.
In clinic diagnostics allow the caring staff at Bayou Animal Clinic to get the results of your pet’s blood work in less than ten minutes! The ability to obtain liver and kidney profiles, coupled with a complete blood count enables our doctors to determine if there may be an underlying problem with your pet that may not be seen by a physical and visual examination.
Nutrition is as important for your pet as it is for people. Many foods available at retail stores derive their nutritional content from grain rather than foods high in protein. Your pet’s weight, skin and overall well-being are derived from their food

The clerk was very pushy with heart worm medication. Trying to say our dog needs it every thirty days for the rest of its life. Thats not true. then said our dog will die if not. and kept tryng to push it on us. What a scam Stop lying to customers trying to scare them into wasting money. We had to be loud and say NO WE DONT WANT IT!!!!! She was like a used car salesman Read Less

On my first visit, for my minuture Dachshund who was developing more and more problems due to her age. I wanted a doctor to explain her condition to me, not as if she's just another dog. She was more than my beloved pet. Dr Garcia talked to me with respect and in great detail, Some of the medication she needed in her last days he gave me free of charge. At no time did I feel I was being taken advantage of in that difficult time. His staff was equally caring and understanding. After that first visit I knew he would be my vet for life and now he sees over the care of my two dogs. Read Less

I made the mistake of using Bayou Animal clinic because I wanted to get my dog who was giving birth and had a puppy stuck to have the quality help she needed at her most delicate time. We recently moved here and our other vet is located two hours away. Dr. Eugene (a Buddy but not your friend) Garcia not only over anethetize my dog during a c-section which he took over an hour to start after we arrived as an emergency and no one else was in his clinic but he took thirty to forty minutes to begin delivering the puppies after he made the first incision. All of our puppies were born blue, or dead, and had to be seriously revived by his staff, thanks a million to Rebecca and Jackie. He also cut one of our puppies heads in three different places and told me that my dog had been shot with a BB gun when there wasn't any BB shots on my dog. And she hadn't been outside without constant supervision because she was big and pregnant. What he told me was far from the truth and when I went to my other vet and he told me that he cut the puppies head during surgery plain and simple. On Monday his wife told me face to face that a c-section would cost $350.00 on Wednesday only two days later he had me sign an estimation of cost sheet while my dog was being prepped for a c-section that read almost $900.00!!! In my opinion this vet in not only misleading but he is an awful vet. If you have a pet you love do not bring them to this man or to his clinic. When we got home I had to tube feed my puppies to keep them alive. They were still so drugged and weak. According to my experience he only cares about money and will hold your dog hostage until he gets you to obligate yourself. Also, in my opinion he does not care about establishing a long and healthy working relationship with the owners of the animals he treats, it's skin the sheep, get as much as you can out of someone and then the heck if they ever return. This is wrong. And the law isn't any better. They make it impossible to sue a vet. So, shop around for a vet before you go, like I thought that I did, but do not go to this one or you and your pet will be sorry. Read Less
