Great staff. Professional and very caring staff! They truly care about my girl, Ruby. I’m glad I found them!

We are new to the practice. They are friendly, thorough and answer all of our questions. We believe our elderly cat is in the best hands. Thank you

In 2015, we had to have my 17-year-old kitty, Dusty, put to sleep. I was there the day he was born and it shattered me to be there the day he died. The staff at GLAH were supportive, compassionate, and gave my son and I the time we needed at the very end to say our goodbyes.

Last week, (January 28, 2020), I brought in my 18-year-old kitty, Taffy, for a "quality of life" evaluation after noticing a number of disturbing signs that her health was failing rapidly. There was a substitute doctor attending that day but she and the assistant were equally supportive, informative, and attentive to my concerns. Although the option to euthanise was discussed, they assured me that she was not in physical pain or distress and so I elected to bring Taffy home to care for her. One week later, Taffy passed away peacefully after a night spent curled up in my arms. Losing her after 18 years has been just as devastating as losing Dusty was.

Although these are sad stories, I am sharing them to illustrate that the staff at GLAH acted professionally and compassionately through both of these times. Although a variety of options (testing, medications, etc) were offered and discussed, I never felt like I was being pushed to spend money for the sake of spending money. I would have emptied my bank accounts for either of my kitties but neither of them would have truly benefitted for any length of time and the staff assured me of that instead of pushing me to spend. I will not be having any additional pets as I cannot bear the thought of going through all this again in the future so I would just like to take this time to thank Glen Lake Animal Hospital for helping us through both end-of-life situations.

We've got twelve rescue cats, so as you might imagine, we're at the vet's office a *lot*. I have always found Glen Lake Animal Hospital to be knowledgeable, responsible, compassionate, and thorough. They return calls, contact you when they say they're going to, and show patience in the face of doubtless irritating questions on our part. And most importantly, they're great with our animals when we bring them in. As I joked the other day, the only reason I don't want to recommend them this highly is that I fear more competition for appointments! But seriously, they're the best.

my senior dog had been going here a little while for vet care so when it was her time we decided to do it here. the vet that did it was NOT listening to us, was hurting our poor dog, and overall made the experience so much more traumatizing for us and our dog than it already was. no compassion. I feel terrible every day that those were my childhood dogs final moments. 15 years of life to be ended so harsh because she just wanted to get her job done. worst experience ever and so traumatic

Glen Lake is the best!! We have been using them for 4 years and each and every time we go in (be it a well or sick visit) that have always tended to our dog like he was their own. This last visit our little man was crying with some pain which made me in turn cry (nobody wants to see their fur baby in pain) and the staff was great. Dr. Shelley Brooks is always gentle, kind and patient. Her personality reveals her passion and compassion for animals. I completely trust my little man in her care. The feeling I take away from my experience at Glen Lake is one that makes me feel like I am being a good pet parent. The relationship we have with Dr. Brooks and Glen Lake can be likened to that of family. You feel at home when you are in their home.

Both experiences here have been negative. Long wait times (over 45 minutes for my first cat and having to cancel last minute on my second cat because the vet didn't get any of the messages), veterinarians don't review new animals they are seeing until the appointment is starting, using dirty/used towels between animal care yet refusing to wave a vaccination on an extremely ill cat. Don't recommend at all.

Many veterinary practices these days are sterile, impersonal and have
an ever changing roster of veterinarians. Glen Lake is in an old farmhouse
near the village with a simple, homey feel that feels like a good, old time veterinary practice. But,best of all is Dr. Shelly Brooks who is an ardent animal lover and advocate who takes every measure to make sure animals in her care are protected safely and with evident compassion. She explains everything and presents various possible approaches for the best outcomes for your pet. I am so lucky to have found her. I'll remember her forever.
