I warn you to never take your pet here for boarding. While their low prices make boarding here appealing, you get what you pay for. I boarded my two dogs there for 13 days. It was apparent that the dogs were very poorly fed during their stay. My 5 month old lab puppy who was growing like a weed when I took him got taller over the two weeks, but actually lost 5 lbs. He looked like a skeleton when I picked him up. All of his ribs, his spine and his hips were visible through his skin. After coming home and being fed a proper amount of food according to the instructions on the dog food bag, he looked completely different after only a few days. This makes me wonder whether he was fed at all. The vet tech who brought him out to me sarcastically said, "looks like he could use some calories". Dr. Anderson refunded the cost of the boarding, but this did not make up for the neglect that my pets were given.

After graduating from High School, I began working at Garden District Animal Hospital, which was the first full-time job that I ever held. It was within that building that I not only learned about responsibility and the working world, but also who it was that I wanted to be in life. And even though I never became the Veterinarian that I thought that I wanted to be, I have however, watched one of my best friends become the Veterinarian that I always knew she was. Who knew that when Dr. Stuckey told me that I had to train the "new girl", that years later she would be the next owner? I DID!!!! Congratulations Andrea, I am truly proud of you. You can look all over Baton Rouge for the "fancies" clinics. Or shop around for the "cheapest" prices. But it is only within the walls of GDAH that you will find people that love your pets as if they were their own.

I took my kitten there for ear mites and had her checked for feline fiv so they needed to draw blood. They stuck her 8 times before getting anything. Holding her so tight she could hardly meow & she was panicking because it obviously hurt her. Also, any time I tried explaining something to the vet she would talk over me. I told her some behavioral problems I was having with my other cat and her answer was "just keep him inside" which doesnt solve any of my problems but she wouldnt know because she wouldnt let me finish my question. I was also told they would call me in 3 days to check on my kitten and they didnt call until 2 weeks later. I will not be going back.

Seriously the best vet hospital Ive EVER been to! Ive lived all over, San Diego, Boston, New York & this adorable little office in Baton Rouge is the best in the U.S. !!! During the floods, my friend & I took in about 25 stray cats that were displaced & about to be put down in surrounding shelters. With the help of GDAH, & the kind staff, they offered to help us nurse the kitties back to health. Ive also used them for my own cats...and I can seriously say the staff couldnt be friendlier, more knowledgeable or more helpful! If youre looking for a place that truly cares for animals, this is the place! ;)

Dr. Andrea Anderson and the staff at Garden District Animal Hospital are the best. We have been through several crisis situations and a couple of surgeries with our dogs and cats. They have always treated our animals with love and compassion. Every procedure has always been explained to us very clearly and that has helped us make the best decisions in the care of our animals. We are very fortunate to have someone with the skill of Dr. Anderson as our VET especially in the tough times with our pets. Randy & Sher Creel

I love this place. I decided to switch from a large, low-priced vet to Garden District a few years ago. Im so glad I did! I no longer have to deal with rude people, waiting forever, and vets that would only tell me how to treat a problem--not prevent it. Garden District was such a refreshing change. The faces there are always friendly and familiar. They really get to know your pets, and Im always given a thorough explanation of any problems my dogs are having. Ive had nothing but positive experiences here.

My family friends have taken pets to Garden District for years. When I moved to Baton Rouge and immediately found myself in a crisis with a pet who needed emergency surgery, Garden Districts care team was there to help us. The doctors we met, both Dr. Anderson and Dr. Harkins, were attentive, communicated issues clearly, worked so hard, and made sure both my dog and I were cared for. Theyve been great to us in the short time weve known them. I would recommend them to anyone.

This has been our dog care go-to thru 4 long living BIG dogs. You just cannot go wrong. They not only do best care but extend themselves when youve got specialist and big dog boarders involved. When in or out of town, we can count on GDAH to keep our dogs healthy and safe. All this in an atmosphere of respect and affection for both your pet(s) and for you. Didnt think we would survive when our Dr. Stuckey left, but it is as wonderful as ever!

I love Dr. Andersen, Angela, and the rest of the staff. They are personal and invested in treating my animals and are always trying to go the extra mile to help the dogs and also to make things as inexpensive as humanly possible. Every vet Ive seen there has been wonderful and Im sorry when the young ones finish their training there and move on. All in all, a great neighborhood institution and always there when you need them, too.

We recently brought all of our miscreants/pets to Dr. A at Garden District for the first time. I was very impressed with the entire staff. They were very thorough in the examinations and offered good medical advice to keep our animals healthy. The overall bill was a bit less than what I had be used to paying also - the main reason for the change to a new Vet. We have found our new neighborhood vet clinic for our dogs and cat.

I have been taking my dog here since he was a puppy (3 years now) and have always recieved exceptional care and a friendly attitude. As an overprotective pup parent I trust this crew completely with my pup. They are both convienent in their hours and reasonable with their prices. Dr. Anderson and staff always does a great job explaining what they are going to do and when certain tests are needed or not.

We are so happy with Dr. Anderson and the staff at GDAH. Dr. Anderson is really down to Earth, but also shows appropriate concern for your animal and seems to err on the side of caution when it comes to treatment. We are new puppy owners and are new to the area, and shes been happy to answer all of our many questions (many, many questions) and we never feel rushed out of the office.

Dr. Andersen is knowledgeable, compassionate and so sweet! She will do everything in her power to make sure your pet gets the right diagnosis and proper care. I have seen her go above and beyond many times; please ignore any ill reviews, as these people were probably just looking for an excuse not to pay in the first place. I like her much better than i do my own physician!
