Lakefield Veterinary Group

The start is caring and kind to both the pets and the clients. Super impressed with the facility as well. Overall they get 5 stars from me.

As a Hospital Administrator, I am really appreciating the personal touch of the smaller company. Everyone at the support center is incredibly helpful and friendly. I honestly feel like every person I interact with wants to help me with whatever I need.

This is an AMAZING business! They hire the BEST people in the United States!

Great people and awesome office!

Just office space

Always check a veterinary clinic to see if it is owned by Lakefield Group or your pet will be irreversibly harmed or killed.

Lakefield is not a “veterinary group” but a silly group of wealth management dabblers who are also hostile, heartless animal abusers taking advantage of the public’s trust to take your money and kill your pet for meaningless supplier incentives.

All of their clinics have the same reviews and complaints of crazy, hostile staff, and frequent animal deaths and abuse.

They killed our dog the first time we walked in that door. He was happy, healthy, ready for life and an upcoming hike.

He was scheduled for a routine vaccine and was slaughtered at 8 years old by these criminal monsters who gave him a knowingly deadly vaccine after a bad reaction to the booster. We didn’t know because they didn’t disclose pertinent information.

They offered no sympathy, not one kind word. However, they had no issue spitting out more hostility than you can imagine and made the decision to be overtly hurtful, mean and disrespectfully send us away with no follow-up and no referral for end care, no guidance - when he had been so happy for that vaccine as always as vaccines mean either travel, daycare, or simply knowing he is loved, important, and needed.

Lakefield staff intentionally gave our dog a deadly vaccine without any disclosure of its controversy, ongoing lawsuits, or that it included 3 additional vaccines that he had never had. Additionally, he showed severe reactions to the booster that we told them about and they heard but chose to ignore. We didn’t associate his symptoms with the vaccine because we’re not informed about what he was given in any way. I just can’t imagine lying to clients and putting a needle of death into a pet that knowingly will cause life long illness or a severely painful death.

Supplier incentives are just that good.

If I could take anything back it would be walking into that clinic and trusting a staff who planned and knew they were going to killing him either slow or fast and in a cruel, awful, painful way.

We did everything we could working with two hospitals, providing home care and keeping hope even with end stage care as he passed quickly.

I am so heartbroken and at the time I was so heartbroken I couldn’t come up with anything to say to their hostile, hateful words.

Just make sure you never use a clinic owned by Lakefield Group.

Every staff member at every location is given the same philosophy and will cruelly gamble with animal torture, bad vaccines, wrong medications or just simply kill your pet the first time you walk in the door as they did to our happy, super healthy 8-year old boy.

They are hired for this purpose and they willingly and willfully harm, mangle and kill for profit from your pocket, their supplier incentives and their real motivations as a sub-par group of wealth management dabblers who want nothing to do with pets just to abuse your trust, take your money, harm or kill your pet and get more incentives for doing so.

This “veterinary” group clearly hired based on how heartless and hostile a person could be. They have put in place processes for clinics across the country that clearly have a strict criteria for employees to be soulless enough, heartless enough, and somehow manage to harbor an innate and severe hatred of pets and people.

Read the other reviews and never give these people an ounce of respect, trust, money, or let them anywhere near an animal if you can stop it.

Our dog, Bentley recently passed away 18 hours after having spent 4 days at Kingsland Animal Clinic. They lied to us on multiple occasions and admitted to mistakes that possibly contributed to his passing. Daisy, the Mgr was cold and couldn't care less about the situation.

Kingsland, taken over by Lakefield, never contacted us during his stay which would have resulted in us picking him up immediately. Bentley lost 14% of his body weight during his 4 day stay. Daisy, the Mgr specifically told me that "Bentley ate all his food". How could he lose 2-1/2 lbs in 4 days if he ate all his food?

His blanket was lost the entire time of his stay. It is a security blanket. Kingsland said they were washing it, and then lost it, but when I returned to collect the blanket after his passing, it was found, but never washed.

We confirmed with them that Bentley was Not to have a bath, as he is allergic to ingredients in common pet shampoo. We wrote down, and confirmed this twice with the tech, yet he was bathed anyway which resulted in a severe allergic reaction that caused eye issues to the point where he could barely open his eyes and had constant itching.

I would not use this Kingsland animal clinic since there are several other options nearby that were extremely kind to us while dealing with our passed companion and family member.

Use a company that agrees that our pets are our family and treats customers with respect. Not this company.

Daisy or some other employee will reply below, but we have already spoken with and confirmed these facts with the Medical Director, Dr. Free.

One of their owned vet office in Arizona has been losing patients because of the rudeness of the office staff. Vets are very well trained and personable - have been a client for a few years and have poured so much money in there with my 10 dogs only to be disrespected by an office person- when I complained to the higher ups, I was canned as a client- I transferred my records to their sister clinic only to be booted from that practice while having no issues there- I’m afraid by hiring incompetent, rude, disrespectful office staff will bring their own demise- oh and they slandered me/ libel saying I was the one that was abusive- May be worth a trip to my attorney and checking into a complaint with the vet medical board- should anything happen to my dog who is monitored and treated for heart failure- they will be sued

They own Emerald City Emergency Clinic…

I showed up with my roommates cat who has been scratching, making himself bleed from some what looks like skin infection and who has been throwing up everyday only to be turned away by the Vet because he is “not sick enough”. What’s a 24 Hour Vet Hospital doing if not taking sick animals? I asked if they could reconsider and I’ll pay whatever to have him seen and was repeatedly told no. They gave one option to go take him in and when I told her I already contacted that Vet was just given a shrug and awkward silence. Do not support this business. They’re not here for their community or your animal.

My German Shepherd fell ill so I called his vet to get him in little did I know they had been bought out by lakefield vetetinary group. I was told that my boy needed an appointment and the soonest appointment was two weeks out. I told them my dog would be dead by then all they said was we can’t see him without an appointment. This would have never happened under previous management. My boy ended up dying even after going to an emergency Vet. Steer clear of these people they are not in the business of helping animals they are in the business of making money

Recently purchased Uptown Animal is hospital in Chicago.
Lakefield is only in it for yhe money not pet care.
