Lake Olympia Animal Hospital

This is a very caring clinic. I had the wonderful opportunity to work for these doctors and I know personally, they care for the well being of any pet that walks into their clinic. Dr. Brode have been so concerning about my dogs needs. She always takes time to explain everything and don't hesitate to call you back. She always greets our extra dog that rides along for the trip.

May 4 at 5:18pm · My Great Dane had Gastric Dilation Volvulus (Bloat) last week and we ended up at the emergency clinic. The vet there recommended Lake Olympia Animal Hospital to perform the surgery. Although I was not a regular client there, they didn't hesitate to take my dog in for surgery immediately. The staff was so friendly and helpful and Dr. Jacob was top notch and very informative. They saved my dog's life and I am so grateful for the service they provided to us. A week later he's on the mend and getting back to his old self. Read Less

Our Beloved dog Bree got very sick and we took her in. Ended up she had an infected Uterus and had to have emergency surgery. The Doctors and staff at Lake Olympia Hospital gave us TOP NOTCH service and settled our nerves with their expertise. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM!!! Read Less

Love it here! My bulldog has allergies and I called last minute, and they got me in that morning and when we arrived, we were seen w/in 10 minutes! Impressive! The vet listened, and took a thorough look at Sammy, and answered questions and explained to us in terms that we were able to comprehend. Our family loves Lake Olympia and have trusted them to care for our dogs over the years. Sammy loves it, and wags his tail upon arriving. Read Less

Everyone at Lake Olympia Animal Hospital is wonderful. The office staff is extremely friendly and willing to help you in any way they can. All of the vets are very knowledgeable and have always been very comforting and patient with any issue I have had with my dogs. They have always provided me and my fur babies with excellent care for the 15 years I have been coming here!! I would definitely recommend the facility and any vet on staff to treat your pet!!

Lake Olympia Animal Hospital always make me feel welcome and comfortable when caring for my cats and dog. When leaving my dog in their care at the kennel the staff has gotten to know her and are excited to see her. They explain everything thoroughly so I understand completely when doing exams and administering meds if necessary. They understand that my pets are my family and they respect me as well as them. The facility is always clean and the staff are all very helpful. I have been more then satisfied with their support and care they've given my pets for over 4 years. Read Less

All my experience with this vet clinic has been positive. The doctors are caring and take time to explain situations and procedures. One of my cats is diabetic and because of their expertise and coaching she is living a healthy life. The office staff is top-notch and so friendly. I can’t praise Lake Olympia Animal Hospital enough Read Less

Excellent vets office!! I cannot say enough nice things about them. The staff at front desk, vet techs, vets, and checkout clerks are all fantastic and there are never too many people in the waiting room, huge plus if your pets have attitudes towards other dogs like mine does.Read Less

My dog had several health concerns (as he is of old age), and Dr. Jacob was exceptionally friendly, kind, and knowledgeable on all of our concerns regarding my dogs overall health and wellness. He gave my dog a thorough exam, and addressed all of the issues he thought my dog had. The vet tech and himself were extremely patient and caring towards my dog throughout the entire process. He then made us aware of the price of additional exams to address the immediate concerns, and then prescribed medicine as needed. Throughout the visit, Dr. Jacobs made us aware of everything he was doing and the improvements we should see in my dog's health concerns. Dr. Jacob is undoubtedly a  passionate, exceptional, ideal veterinarian, that I would recommend to anyone who has a pet. The place is well kept with friendly staff. I don't have a single negative thing to say about this veterinary clinic. However, get ready to spend a pretty penny if you decide to take your pet here. My total bill for a urinalysis, heart worm exam, fecal exam, flea medication, heart worm prevention medication, antibiotic to prevent itchiness, and an antibiotic for a UTI was $278. However, the moderate-high cost is worth it for the care and attention your pet will receive from this great veterinary clinic you rarely get anywhere else! Read Less

I brought my kitten, Stella, here recently and I loved their service! They were super friendly and kind. Stella had a procedure done so they kept her overnight, but immediately after the surgery, the doctor called me with a full report on how she did and how she is. All my questions were answered well and overall just had a great experience! Highly recommend it. Read Less

We have been with Lake Olympia Animal Hospital for almost 12 years and we would never go anywhere else! They have been amazing through all the ups and downs of owning animals! From the moment you walk in the door, you are your pets are welcomed and comforted. We have seen many of the vets and have had a great experience with them all! Dr. Remark will always be our favorite though!!! Read Less

Vets are amazing! Groomers are amazing!My Maltese and Min Pin actually enjoy going! At past Vets and groomers my dogs were nervous to even step in the building. If searching for a vet and/or groomer this is the place to go! Read Less

My family and I have been bringing our dogs here for years and it is just the best! I adore Dr. Jacob and Dr. Dobson- they are both always so friendly, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We worked with Dr. Jacob when we had to put one of our dogs down a few years ago and he made that painful experience as pleasant as possible- very understanding and helpful. One time at a visit with Dr. Dobson, I was concerned about a snake I saw in my yard and he took the time out to describe/draw out the common physical features of poisonous vs. nonpoisonous snakes. Over the years I have had so many pleasant experiences with these two doctors to the point where I'll only book with either of them! They are incredible. I recently started getting my poodle mix groomed here and the groomers are excellent! You can tell that they all love what they do and are great at it. My pup is a demon when it comes to grooming but they're somehow able to do it anyway and get him looking like a cute fluffy teddy bear each time! The front staff/vet techs are also very kind and you can tell that everyone who works there loves animals. In short, I 110% recommend this business for both veterinary care and grooming services. The facility is clean and the staff is awesome. It is a little pricier than other places but the customer service and quality of care you'll receive is more than worth it. Read Less

Lake Olympia Animal Hospital has taken great care of our standard poodle. It is a group practice, so appointments are usually readily available when you need them for a sick visit. Dr. Jacob and Dr. Rodney have been the main vets we have seen here, and they are both great.The facility is clean and comfortable. Our dog also loves the two different kinds of free treats available in the main lobby/reception desk. They have cat treats too! Read Less

Not going back. The only pleasant experience was talking to one staff member on the phone to set up first appointment. I should have turned around and left the minute I was addressed as "Mr." after walking through the door. (I am clearly a woman). Here are my experiences at this office: * Waited 30 mins past appointment time each visit * Not provide an exam room upon arrival, so animals become stressed waiting in lobby while they are running behind schedule * Asked for a vaccine twice for my dog and showed the historical records- yet my dog never received the vaccine and the office never told me they were not administering it. Had to return another day to get it and was told that the records were "confusing " - Dr Wall was their assigned vet and I was told part owner, if I am NOT a Vet and can see what was due by reading the records- how was she (supposedly a vet) confused reading shot records????? That is concerning. It would have been nice to get an apology for this mishap, which could have caused an issue boarding. Thankfully my dog still had 2 weeks left under his prior shot and the boarding facility accepted his old records...which, by the way, the boarding facility was not confused by. Still shocked the vet at this place was "confused" by my vaccine records. They did come from 2 prior years due to shots expiring at different times, BUT its not like reading vaccine records is rocket science...and isn't that part of a vet's job???? She is a vet for Pete's sake!! * They do not administer shots in the exam room like most vets, they take the pets out. So the next visit I asked to be present to avoid incorrect administration/ missing shots - and the person (vet tech, I think) was very rude and acted quite rushed (ironic she was rushed since I waited a half hour for her- would think she would have time for us when we were finally seen). She did allow me to be present, albeit with the attitude. * Very little interaction with the actual vet, vet techs perform most of the services. The short time with the vet, she spent more time asking about my personal life than about my dogs. Where I moved from (apparently she picked up that little nugget of info from the "confusing " records), if I liked the area because it is very "suburban "- why wouldn't I like a suburban area?? On and on, Blah blah blah while palpating my dog...I really wanted to say- ummmm- focus lady!!! Then that was it, she was out and I was thrown back into the hands of frenzied vet techs. * sigh * Quite honestly I am shocked this place has decent reviews. I almost wasn't going to write one myself, and just move on from this place without looking back. It was just such a cluster-*mess that I felt it should be shared. As mentioned above- never going back. Read Less

I just got a rescue dog after xmas and my poor furbaby had tummy issues - I took him into Lake Olympia and Dr. Henderson took excellent care of him!  We just went back this week for his formal physical and all the staff are super friendly and very good with the animals.  They really try to make the experience good for your pet and you as well.  I am really glad I found them!  WINNER! Read Less

I had been to this vet clinic on a couple of occasions before and left feeling it was pretty good, but not great (I was looking for a new vet clinic after recently moving to the area and I just didn't feel that strong connection with the vet that helped us, but not necessarily a fault of theirs).Read Less

Had to bring one of my boxers in for a snake bite and dr Dobson was so great with his care. And yesterday I had to bring my other boxer in, he was very ill and had to be put down. Thank nurses and dr Adams were loving and gentle during the entire process. They helped comfort me as well. Read Less

Have been coming here for over 15 years and they have taken great care of our dogs. They present all options and don't pressure your decision. They were very kind and compassionate when our dogs passed away. Read Less

I took my German Shepherd mix here for the first time my fur child has been very sick since the moment we walk in to the moment we left the staff super friendly & Professional & Dr. Beth Rodney you're hands down the best Vet doc I thank you for caring for my Dingo thank you for explaining everything in detail you are super professional Read Less

I am very particular about my pets' health and so far, all the veterinarians we have been to have either charged low prices but with average service, or great service, but were very expensive. Lake Olympia is by far the best veterinary practices we have been to, without having to spend a ton of money! Clean, spacious waiting area, and very courteous front desk staff. I got a same-day appointment for my dog and was seen by Dr. Brode. She was just fantastic! She really spent time listening to my concerns, I never felt rushed or hurried. Very thorough with her examination and wonderful bedside manner. What impressed me the most was that she was very proactive, I really felt like she cared about us and the health of our pets. Highly recommend Lake Olympia Animal Hospital! Read Less

I have a pitbull/lab mix. She is not a friendly girl. Especially when she is scared. Dr. Remarkable treated her for eating a scarf. She had to muzzle my baby for a bit, but by the end of the visit it was off and Nala was loving Dr. Remark. She loved on my precious baby and made me feel very confident in the vet care I was receiving. I've heard great reviews about this Drs office and I can say I agree 200%!!! Dr. Remark, you are AWESOME! Read Less

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I've taken my dog here at least 3 times now and we are always greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. The vets are very friendly and very professional. I made an appointment to have my dog's teeth cleaned due to heavy plaque and his procedure involved anesthesia. The whole procedure took about 4 hours and everything went smoothly. The surgeon even contacted me twice throughout the procedure. Great place. My dog always leaves happy! Read Less

Being a client with this amazing group for 11 years gave me friends and good laughs sometimes! Not only do I trust this veterinarian family with my fur family, we became friends so I love these people,,,all of them! thank you for taking care of us with love unconditionally! From myself, Chico, Bella, Bear, Pepper, Buddy and Coco miniature Schnauzies <3 Read Less

This practice is by far the best we have experienced with the veterinarian care for our cats. We recently had to let go of one of our beloved felines after a tough fight with IBD, and despite the outcome, we were impressed by the level of care that Lake Olympia provided. For over six months, I spoke with nearly every vet there because I would call with questions or concerns about changing symptoms and they would find someone to speak with me directly if the primary care vet was not on shift. They ran every test possible until a diagnosis was confirmed and helped us through multiple treatments until we felt it was right to discuss other options, which they did with the utmost care, patience, and sympathy. At one point three vets were working together on her case to monitor her progress and symptoms. When we decided to euthanize, they were passionate and made the process as minimally stressful as they could--even the front staff was patient and compassionate during that time.Five months later, our younger cat developed similar symptoms. We took her to a new vet since we had moved and were greatly disappointed with the level of detail and care. When we realized they had not done a full examination and blood work, we called Lake Olympia. They got us in fast the same day, did a full workup, and diagnosed a similar condition within two hours. We left with new medication and our cat recovered within 48 hours. Had we not sought their expertise, we were advised that our cat likely wouldn't have recovered without further treatment and would have continued to deteriorate. As a result, we still drive 45 minutes across town while searching for a comparable level of care in southeast Houston.As a person who considers my cats part of the family, I cannot recommend this practice enough. We have never left an appointment doubting that our felines received the best care available in this area. Read Less

Lake Olympia Animal Hospital has some of the most caring Veterinarians. I live in Alvin and make the drive because I want my dogs to have the very best care available. My dogs have been patients of Dr. Dobson, Dr. Jacob, Dr. Wall and Dr. Remark for years. One of my dogs just had an orthopedic surgery that was overseen by Dr. Brode and Dr. Wall. They went over and beyond what I ever imagined. My dogs are currently all patients of Dr. Wall but I would not hesitate to see any of the other Veterinarians if she was not available. I completely trust them with my babies. Their new building and all of the services they offer are just amazing. Their office staff are all so sweet and of course their Technicians rock. They all really care about animals including the grooming staff. Read Less

A tremendous team and facility with the ability for comprehensive care of our boxer... Special thanks to Dr. Beth Rodney - incredibly caring and skilled doc who always takes quality time with our dog (as well as us) to always make us feel at home and that comprehensive care is provided. Whether Emily needs just vaccines or surgery- they have it all and dr Rodney will quarterback the whole process for you with her staff. Thank you all so much for your amazing professionalism and care. Read Less

We've taken our dog to this animal hospital about 5-6 times so far and we have been pleased. With multiple vets in the practice, it hasn't been too hard to get an appointment. Drs. Jacob, McCain, and Rodney have all been great. No complaints. The facility is well maintained and clean. Read Less

Dr Brode and Dr Jacob took care of my German Shepherd in her last years. They gave sensible advices and the best possible care to her, all the way to the end. All the nurses and staffs are friendly and helpful. The place is well equipped. Their prices might be on the medium to high end but I do not think that they ever prescribed unnecessary treatments/medicines. Read Less

We started taking a baby there about 2 years ago. She has always had a growth on her hind leg, I asked several vets what it was and I always got the same answer, nothing. We asked them and they told us it was cancer. She has surgery the next week, we sent her labs out and she just got a clean bill of health. I, unfortunately am one of these people, that can talk and talk and talk. I spoke to several people on the phone each time 15-30 minutes. I know they are busy, yet they always seem to make the time! That is priceless!!! Read Less

My dog is actually excited when we walk into this place. That has never happened before. He has mostly boarded here but also has had shots so it amazes me that he loves it so much. What a great feeling when you have to leave your baby for boarding!!! Read Less

We had an excellent first visit after utilizing YELP to find this clinic. I had to do a little shuffling due to my work schedule, but Claire was very gracious and helpful as she helped me find a time that worked. The vet assistant was really amazing -- very knowledgeable and shared great information. (I wish I could remember her name - I'm horrible at names.) Dr. Brode took an aggressive approach, which was needed, for my dog's UTI and chronic ear infections. After three days on the antibiotic, there is a huge difference in Shorty's demeanor and you can tell he just plain feels better. Dr. Brode is extremely capable and knowledgeable. We go back in two weeks for a recheck. The free office consultation for the first visit was real and legit -- and much appreciated! I really do like this office and the people we encountered were very wise, helpful and kind. Read Less

A big shout-out to tech Kelly McCabe Smith and Doctors Wall and Jacob.A GREAT team of doctors and tech's that truly care (emotionally and physically) for your pet.Wonderful waiting area with one side for dogs and the other for cats, smiling faces as you walk in from the reception desk...All in all, a great place for your pets. I am driving from Oak Forest in Houston (over 20 miles) just to get here. Yes, it's that good. Read Less

5-star service and 5-star professionalism!  When my pets get sick, I get extremely worried and nervous.  So, my poor baby got intoxicated by "sago palms" and became very sick, puking everywhere, so I took him in for treatment.  The vet said the toxic might have damaged his liver but he had to be hospitalized for a couple of days.  The estimate runs from $1,460 to $2,650, which sounds reasonable, knowing the fact that vet service can be very expensive.  Thank God that the Lake Olympia Animal Hospital is located right around the corner like just one mile away from my home *phew* I feel like i have lucked out by having an animal hospital in such close proximity! I'm sure this place provides excellent service because business is so busy!  While waiting in the waiting room for almost 1.5 hours (it was an unexpected incident so my baby boy and I just walked in and had no appointment made) I'd seen a lot of people with their beloved pets come in for all kinds of different services and everyone walked out happily and healthily.  All staff and the vets are friendly, helpful and professional!Remember this, folks! NEVER sacrifice the health and life of your beloved pet(s) by thinking that the illness will go away on its own.  The Lake Olympia Animal Hospital surely can help! Read Less

This animal hospital has extremely knowledgeable and friendly veterinarians. The staff (including vet techs, front desk, kennel help, groomers, and management) is excellent. Animal care is obviously their #1 priority, and customer service their #2 priority. They have the latest in technology and equipment and are admired by their peers in the Houston community. Whether you need pet care, boarding, or grooming this is definitely the place you want to be. Read Less

My boyfriend and I bought a puppy from Petland in Missouri City and to keep our warranty from going void we had to take her to Petland's Vet within four days of the purchase. This is why we went to Lake Olympia pet hospital. First visit, they screwed up the appointment and wrote down the wrong day and would not squeeze us in to accomodate us AND our warranty with Petland until several phone calls and complaints were made. Second and third visit was the same, but what really upset me was that at the third visit, the groomer that works there screwed up our morning appointment to get her groomed before her afternoon appt. to see the Vet and get her shots, and then the vet-tech. gave my puppy her shots before we got to see her after the grooming-which we had repeatedly asked them not to do because we wanted to talk to the vet ABOUT the shots before we gave them. All in all, the Vet was decent but the technicians and front desk staff are all idiots. I will not take my dog there again! Read Less
