Last week, I took my guinea pig in to be seen by them, as he had been showing signs of illness. We had a 4:00 pm appointment, to which we were on time for and called to check in. It took half an hour for someone to come out to help us, which I tried to be understanding about (things get busy, I get that). They finally came out, took his history, and took him inside. We didn't hear anything from them until 5:30 pm when they called to collect payment. Again, we had not spoke to anyone about what was going on with our pet and when I asked how he was doing, I was told "I don't know, I just answer the phone". Okay, that didn't sit well with me but I knew that they closed at 5:30 and were probably trying to get things taken care of for the night. 15 minutes later, a tech finally walks out with our pet and says that the vet thought he had "some upper respiratory issue" and to give him some antibiotics. Now, I've taken my other pets to other clinics during the pandemic as well as my parents pets in to other clinics and every time the vet has called and spoken to us about what was happening with our pet and that did not happen at all with this clinic. The tech was ready to send us off at that point, but I knew that guinea pigs should not be on antibiotics without some probiotics. I asked her about that and she laughed about it and told me that "the vet said something about that, we must have just forgot about it". She went inside and then returned with two large capsules of probiotics and told me to just mix of a pinch of it with water and give it to him. What the hell kind of dosing is that? This interaction did not sit well with me all week, so i called at the beginning of the week to express my concerns and was told I would get a call back from the vet. Its now 2 days later, and I have not heard anything from them. I called to try again and they didn't answer my call, so I left a message specifically asking for a call back. I then received an automated text message asking what they might be able to help with, and I again asked specifically for a call back but instead got a text message basically saying that the vet would call me when he got to it, which I doubt. Overall, they have conducted themselves incredibly unprofessionally, and I would not recommend them to anyone as it is NOT okay to treat your clients and their pets this way. Read Less

I have been using LLAC since 1988 for my dogs, cats and horses. Dr. MacDougall has proven to be compassionate, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile when treating difficult problems with my animals. He even did a RECAF blood test on my Rottweiler to determine if a knot on his ribs was cancerous (the alternative was to remove the ribs which could have been dangerous because my dog also had seizures). The test was done only in Canada at that time. Dr. MacDougall had me call several veterinarians, including one who specialized in cancer diagnosis and treatment for dogs. To my surprise, none of them had even heard of the test and were not willing to find out how to do it. Over the years, I am sorry to say, I have not always had the same experience with the other veterinarians at LLAC ranging from uncaring rudeness to misdiagnosis - nothing drastic, just costly because it had to be done over. That also applies to the front desk and the techs. I learned long ago to simply make appointments with only Dr. MacDougall unless it is an emergency and he is not available. I have also tried on several occasions to go to a different veterinary clinic. LLAC is head and shoulders above the others. The knowledge, compassion and willingness to do everything possible to help my pets far outweighs dealing with the occasional rudeness and minor misdiagnosis. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all be bright and cheery and have the right answer to every problem always. LLAC is the best. Read Less

For those complaining about how expensive LLAC is, you have no idea about expensive, wasted money or incompetence! How about unnecessary dental surgery? How about a misdiagnosis that cost my dog her life? We paid well over $2,500 at another vet for care for my Koko. I took her to LLAC for a second opinion after 5 months of a continual worsening of her health. Within 1 hour, a tumor was found in her nasal cavity, which was eventually diagnosed as terminal cancer. I spent many sleepless nights researching this diagnosis/treatment options. The original vet should have found this. Koko had every single one of the symptoms but our former vet said she had a sinus infection caused by the roots of her teeth invading her nasal cavity. IF Koko had been correctly diagnosed when she first exhibited her symptoms we, may have been able to save her life, rather than spending over $2,000 for an unnecessary dental surgery! LLAC came to our home and let us say goodbye to Koko in a familiar setting. What Vet does that? I will be forever grateful to LLAC for treating my Koko with great care and compassion. Her treatment was the best for HER, not me. We have 4 dogs, 2 of which are puppies and you can believe that we will never change vets now that we have found Dr. MacD. In addition, the other Vet recommended dental surgery on our 2 older dogs, at the cost of over $1,500.00 each. Well, guess what? It was not needed. SOOOOOOOO happy we found LLAC! They are fair and do not charge for unnecessary treatments! Read Less

Where to start? Mediocre care, at best. Returning of phone calls, even critical ones, is totally nonexistent. It would appear, if the front office person Becky doesn't like someone she prevents proper care and follow-ups from happening. She should be ashamed. Wait times are outrageous with never an apology given. One can not speak to or leave a message for a vet. One's pet doesn't even see a vet unless personally requested and rarely is the actual human allowed to go back with their pet. Never trust vets who don't allow as standard practice the person to be in the same room as their pet! The most basic care such as dispensing preventative meds is like pulling teeth. Can't believe they stay in business. I think the doctors are probably good and knowledgeable. Too bad they don't have a good support staff. The staff is rude, unprofessional and petty. They mock patients and make rash judgement calls without having a keen understanding of situations and seem to foster such things without the doctor's knowledge. The docs should fire the bunch and start fresh! Read Less

I will never come back again. I recently took my mom's dog (best friend, child) down we payed for her to be cremated. The Dr promised he was treat her with the most respect and make sure she's took care of. They said we could pick her up in 2 weeks.

I have been working with Los Lunas Animal Clinic for years now. I am a Breeder of Australian Shepherds and because of Dr. MacDougall and his extensive research of the herding breeds, we have fallen into a partnership that was not planned, it just happened because we both care deeply about what is best for my breed. He has helped us with a Breed Specific Shot Protocol and both he and Doctor Thompson are more than happy to take the time to look things up when I have questions and we find solutions together, like a team and then they explain it in a way that I can grasp. They are wonderful at teaching and I love to learn, then turn around to teach my puppy parents how to raise these dogs correctly. Many upon many of our Desert Willow Aussie Puppy Parents have become apart of the Los Lunas Animal Clinic family too because they see the trust between us and are loved on by the entire staff when they come in with the puppies that the Docs have seen from 3 days old with tails and toes being done in office, then again at 7 weeks of age for their Comprehensive Puppy Exam before we get them ready to go home. I cannot say enough about the techs also, they just plain rock. Always there for us when we call, willing to help, find out an answer to a question and the best part? I just love hanging out chatting with them when I go in because everyone is so loving and happy! I can sincerely call these folks my friends, all of them!!!!Read Less

We will always be using Dr. MacDougall as long as he's serving. God bless him and all the staff at LLAC! Read Less

I've been to LLAC only a couple of times and I can only compare to my experiences with other vets n the area. So far so good. Prices are comparable or lower than others in the area. More time spent with me explaining than other vets, lab results shared with me, no problem, even got a copy. Didn't have to wait long. So far I'd say they are one of the better clinics in the area.

For those complaining about how expensive LLAC is, you have no idea about expensive, wasted money or incompetence! How about unnecessary dental surgery? How about a misdiagnosis that cost my dog her life? We paid well over $2,500 at another vet for care for my Koko. I took her to LLAC for a second opinion after 5 months of a continual worsening of her health. Within 1 hour, a tumor was found in her nasal cavity, which was eventually diagnosed as terminal cancer. I spent many sleepless nights researching this diagnosis/treatment options. The original vet should have found this. Koko had every single one of the symptoms but our former vet said she had a sinus infection caused by the roots of her teeth invading her nasal cavity. IF Koko had been correctly diagnosed when she first exhibited her symptoms we, may have been able to save her life, rather than spending over $2,000 for an unnecessary dental surgery! LLAC came to our home and let us say goodbye to Koko in a familiar setting. What Vet does that? I will be forever grateful to LLAC for treating my Koko with great care and compassion. Her treatment was the best for HER, not me. We have 4 dogs, 2 of which are puppies and you can believe that we will never change vets now that we have found Dr. MacD. In addition, the other Vet recommended dental surgery on our 2 older dogs, at the cost of over $1,500.00 each. Well, guess what? It was not needed. SOOOOOOOO happy we found LLAC! They are fair and do not charge for unnecessary treatments! Read Less

Where to start? Mediocre care, at best. Returning of phone calls, even critical ones, is totally nonexistent. It would appear, if the front office person Becky doesn't like someone she prevents proper care and follow-ups from happening. She should be ashamed. Wait times are outrageous with never an apology given. One can not speak to or leave a message for a vet. One's pet doesn't even see a vet unless personally requested and rarely is the actual human allowed to go back with their pet. Never trust vets who don't allow as standard practice the person to be in the same room as their pet! The most basic care such as dispensing preventative meds is like pulling teeth. Can't believe they stay in business. I think the doctors are probably good and knowledgeable. Too bad they don't have a good support staff. The staff is rude, unprofessional and petty. They mock patients and make rash judgement calls without having a keen understanding of situations and seem to foster such things without the doctor's knowledge. The docs should fire the bunch and start fresh! Read Less

I will never come back again. I recently took my mom's dog (best friend, child) down we payed for her to be cremated. The Dr promised he was treat her with the most respect and make sure she's took care of. They said we could pick her up in 2 weeks. So the 2 weeks came so we called to see if she's ready and they tell us they spread her ashes somewhere in Albuquerque. My family has lost a family member and we trusted them to take care of her and they just dump her ashes somewhere. I call and the Lady I talked to was laughing at me. It's like really I'm crying upset about our dog and she laughs at me. Very unprofessional. Will never recommend any to thid place. Read Less

I have been working with Los Lunas Animal Clinic for years now. I am a Breeder of Australian Shepherds and because of Dr. MacDougall and his extensive research of the herding breeds, we have fallen into a partnership that was not planned, it just happened because we both care deeply about what is best for my breed. He has helped us with a Breed Specific Shot Protocol and both he and Doctor Thompson are more than happy to take the time to look things up when I have questions and we find solutions together, like a team and then they explain it in a way that I can grasp. They are wonderful at teaching and I love to learn, then turn around to teach my puppy parents how to raise these dogs correctly. Many upon many of our Desert Willow Aussie Puppy Parents have become apart of the Los Lunas Animal Clinic family too because they see the trust between us and are loved on by the entire staff when they come in with the puppies that the Docs have seen from 3 days old with tails and toes being done in office, then again at 7 weeks of age for their Comprehensive Puppy Exam before we get them ready to go home. I cannot say enough about the techs also, they just plain rock. Always there for us when we call, willing to help, find out an answer to a question and the best part? I just love hanging out chatting with them when I go in because everyone is so loving and happy! I can sincerely call these folks my friends, all of them!!!!Read Less
