Overview

East Lake is a multi faceted organization and has been a part of the community since 1993 providing a wide array of veterinary services. Our mission statement is simply "Wags, Purrs, Smiles". If a dog's tail is wagging, or a cat is purring, that says the pet is happy and feeling well. "Smiles" are our goal too, because we are not happy unless our clients are happy too. We are detailed in our care and we are comfort focused. We want every visit to be better than the last so much so, that your pet is excited to come back next time! We have deeply bonded relationships with our clients and our work together is a partnership to insure that pets have the care they need and deserve. We also understand that our clients have unique needs too... that's why we are here 7 days a week from 7a - 9p. The East Lake team understands that urgent matters and emergencies happen when you least expect it, and we are here to help. Our urgent care and surgical team brings extensive experience in caring for a variety of species and performing many surgeries not routinely available in general practice. Additionally, we provide and process diagnostic evaluations without the need for a doctor visit... and with fast results!

Since 1993, East Lake Veterinary Hospital has been devoted to helping pets and their families.

What reviewers say

73% Positive sentiment
based on 651 reviews

East Lake Veterinary Hospital in Dallas is a comprehensive, independently owned practice offering veterinary care, a separate cat hospital, pet boarding, daycare, grooming, and an on-site pet orphanage. The facility is clean and modern with extensive amenities, operating long hours seven days a week. The veterinary team includes several compassionate and highly knowledgeable doctors who excel at handling anxious pets, exotics, surgeries, and complex medical cases with thorough explanations. However, the practice struggles with chronic operational friction, including extremely long hold times, difficult appointment scheduling, significant billing disputes, unexpected fees, and high service pricing. While many clients experience exceptional emergency response and dedicated follow-up care, others report severe communication breakdowns, inconsistent care quality, and aggressive upselling.
