VCA Lakewood is the best! Everyone is professional and has amazing hospitality. Mark is always clean as a whistle! Joanie is sweet as she can be! The both are awesome!
Dr. Dunn are one the most caring veterinarian. He examined my little Theo carefully and even fixed him a "take home" goodie bag. Unfortunately, at this time, Theo is fighting Fading Kitten Syndrome. My family and I are doing the best we can to help our adopted pet. However, we have accept that we can't save them all. We only can do the best that we can. Thanks VCA Lakewood for all you do!

My family and I have been coming to this clinic for about 6 years now. The front office staff are always on top of their game. Dr. Kirkpatrick was the last vet to treat our kitty last year. We could not have asked for a more caring and patient person to have on our side when we needed it the most. This year we came back to Dr. Kirkpatrick with our two new adopted kitties. We highly recommend VCA Lakewood to anyone who is looking for a great clinic. Thank you all for everything! I know we’ll be with y’all for a long time to come!!

Dr. Yzaguirre is fantastic, and my cats actually really like him. I appreciate the time spent explaining different products and services, and his honesty in recommending/discouraging different services for each cat. I never feel like I'm spending unnecessary money here, but I always feel like my kitties are getting great care. The doc is great, and the awesome front desk staff is just the cherry on top!

The staff and vet there were extremely friendly and willing to help with the comfort of our visit and our pet. Even though it was my dog's first time at a vet visit, they made sure she was relaxed, and calm enough to get her checkup and her shots. They helped us work through her necessary boaters and behavioral issues. Our vet was especially knowledgeable about how to help our dog suffering from seperafe anxiety. Thanks to her help, she's become a happier and more social doggy.

Love it! Great staff. They treated me and my kitten so well and showed my kitten much love and Dr Dunn was great. I went in for a consultation for my kitten's de-clawing and Dr Dunn explained the process perfectly to help me better make up my mind. After I brought Disco in for his surgery and the process was over, went to pick him up a couple days later and again I was greeted by their staff with smiles, friendliness and great conversation while I waited for a super nice tech to bring me my kitten. They even gave him a toy for being such a good patient! This is a fantastic place to bring your pets for truly great care. I highly recommend it. I'm glad I made the choice to seek out a new place to care for my fur baby.

OVERCHARGED BY DOUBLE - SERIOUS PRICING ISSUES
Yes - the staff is very nice and I do not doubt the skills of Dr. Nakashima but their "regional managers" who oversee pricing use a strategy that borders on price gouging.
After a long struggle with a health issue for my dog we tried VCA for a second opinion. My partner took my dog in only to he scammed into getting unnecessary services and procedures. When I compared the bill to the upscale chain veterinarian we typically use the prices at VCA were more than doubled on the same services. A single visit was more expensive than an entire 6 hour surgical procedure done at the other, more highly rated, vet.
To top it off, several unnecessary procedures were conducted just to make a buck for the clinic. A quick google search for VCA can find similar scams and over billing at their other locations reported by both customers and past employees.
After 20 years of pet ownership I've never experienced a vet take advantage of a pet in need like VCA. I will never let a greedy VCA center take advantage of my pets ever again.

Not only is this place overpriced but they will try to shove things into your hands that your pet doesn't need. It seems like all they care about is money. While given the choice to use a topical flea treatment that my dog doesn't need, they still did not take my choice into consideration and while we were heading out from getting a shot I find out that i was charged for a comboguard that is extremely expensive. We only went to get our dog a shot that he was missing and they ended up giving him a truck load of things without consent that they thought he needed. We also had a pee problem with our dog that we took to this place to see what the problem was and you will not believe that the lousy vet asked US why is he doing that and didn't give us any advice for it. They also did not take the coupon from THEIR website for a free exam up to 2 dogs because we took them on separate days! B.S. From only planning to spend like $15 on his vaccines, they charged us almost $300 for a bunch of hooplah. I decided to take our dog to SPCA instead and we needed his vaccine records. Not only did we go to the vca but i also called and emailed countless times to get his record and they only sent me what he was "due for" yet he was caught up on everything. I emailed again and again for the correct record and no response! What a waste of time and money. Go to SPCA instead.

The below example highlights what I believe to be disingenuous behavior by this establishment, why I don't think I can continue to trust them with my pet's care.
I took my adopted dog to this location as offered for a free exam by the SPCA. The concept was for the SPCA to take care of pre-existing issues with the dog within the first 30 days of my adoption.
The vet said that the dog was healthy with no major issues. I double checked with the receptionist and she said the notes had no mention of dental issues.
I now know months later that my dog has chronic tooth decay so bad that one is loose, and I have been feeding him dry dog food and giving him dental chews. I noticed his bad breath since the beginning, and a friend more knowledgeable about dogs mentioned that he had bad signs of gingivitis. When I brought this up in frustration to this location, the receptionist replied "Well, if you would have known, would you have not adopted the dog?" If you want this kind of patronizing treatment, this is the place for you!

Zero Stars....WORST experience with an Avian vet I've ever had! The nail trim my Macaw received today left his nails sharper than before the visit and I will have to take him to another vet to repair what this vet did. I dropped off my bird in the morning and picked him up after work. His cage was on the floor in a front exam room where dogs were being walked past, clients children were allowed to get close to his cage and the paper in the cage was what I brought in and was covered in bird poop and so was my bird's tail feathers. I took in the "Free" health exam coupon you can print from their website but was told "they really weren't able to get that done". The icing on the cake is that this vet charged 30$ more (90$ total bill) than other competent vets I have used in the past. When I called to say I was dissatisfied with their work, Dr. Burk explained to me how they do the best nail trim for birds. I've had this bird for 12 years and this is the first bad trim he's ever had. This vet may know cats and dogs but don't waste your time or money taking your bird to them. I made this appointment because Lakeside VCA is the closest Avian vet to my house. Southlake Animal Hospital off of Highway 114 has competent vets that do an excellent job and have far better rates which makes them worth the drive.

General Info
VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital assists Dallas families along with nearby Texas communities to build a multifaceted veterinary approach through trust combined with sensory observation and stability principles. Initial visits focus on creating a comfortable environment where pets have the opportunity to settle while exploring the space and expressing their reactions at their own speed. Before commencing any physical examination the veterinary team monitors subtle cues such as eye movements and tail positions along with gait adjustments and pressure responses. Physical checkups consist of joint tracking hydration analysis weight monitoring gum tone coat texture and thermal regulation patterns. The process involves owners observing and recording their pets' morning activities, sleep patterns, vocal behaviors, and any recent changes from their usual habits. VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital provides healthcare programs for sudden medical problems surgical procedures seasonal health variations and chronic disease management. The support system encompasses laboratory examinations, imaging referrals, infection control measures, senior animal care protocols, and emotionally-informed recovery checklists. The arrangement and timing of plans aim to minimize stress while keeping owners informed without causing overwhelm—particularly for those handling multiple pets or intricate medical conditions. The essence of communication occupies the fundamental role. After every visit notes are dispatched while follow-up sessions depend on pets' adaptation progress instead of fixed calendar alerts. Instruction is given to owners on detecting minute regression indicators or progression readiness signals. The components of long-term care consist of pacing methods alongside choice-based scheduling and reassurance strategies. VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital delivers veterinary services throughout Dallas and Texas by focusing on animal behaviors and family feedback to develop care plans that remain consistent and empathetic from beginning to end.
