Dear Dr. Lance and the Staff of PAH, I can’t thank you enough for the sensitive and compassionate way you walked me through the most difficult decision of my life last Friday. As Bonesaw has grown older, I have dreaded the thought that I might have to make the decision one day to have her put to sleep. I hoped that perhaps she would just pass away in her sleep. I didn’t think I could ever muster whatever it would take to have to make that decision myself. You took such care last Friday in explaining her situation to me and gently bringing me to the point where it was clear that this was the most loving choice I could make. I appreciate the thoughtful way in which you gave me time with her, presented options to me of staying or not staying, and gave me time to make each decision. Your “bedside manner” and “pastoral sensitivity” were as fine as I have ever experienced in any medical setting. I genuinely felt your concern for Bonesaw and for me as her master. I want to also thank you for the wonderful and friendly care you have given to Bonesaw over the nearly fourteen years. I attribute the healthy years she has had to your professional and quality care. I was blessed to have this special friend for almost fourteen years and, as the song says, “I miss you like crazy.” Since Friday, I have had some of the most soul searching prayer and conversations with God about the destiny of such special creatures. I told my congregation at the Masses this weekend that next weekend, Trinity Sunday, I would give a homily about where I believe pets fit into God’s plan of heaven. This is something that I have come to deeply believe and that I need to deeply believe. I want to offer my assistance to you, should you ever have a client that is struggling with grief after the death of a beloved pet, I would be glad to offer my pastoral assistance and prayer to help them through. You may refer them to me at any time. Bonesaw, who has been such a compassionate presence to me and so many others, would like this. I have placed it in God’s hands to help me find another faithful friend, not to replace Bonesaw, but to develop another wonderful relationship such as we had. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. God Bless your wonderful care for God’s special creatures and their families, Fr. Eric

Thank You to the Staff of Prairieville Animal Hospital and most importantly Dr. Gosh. The clinic has been taken care of my five pets for several years. We all knew my little Harley, (12-year-old Jack Russell) was near the end of his time. I too, work in the healthcare profession and my out of town work schedule of seven days, came at the worst possible time for my little buddy. Dr. Gosh and his staff knew I just wanted to be there for my little buddys passing and they went above and beyond to try and make that happen. We kept in contact all week and on that Sunday night my work schedule was complete I was three hours away headed home when Dr. Gosh call me at 9 PM to discuss Harleys expected declining position which we addressed immediately. I have no doubt my little buddy was in competent hands and was made comfortable as possible the entire time I was out of town. Ive practice medicine over 25 years and I genuine love my pets. Im sad I lost my buddy, but I am pleased and have great comfort knowing Harley received excellent care. Id like to close with a Sincere Heart Felt, Thanks to You All at Prairieville Animal Hospital. Lannie & Karen Pino, along with his buddies, Davis, Zeus, Ba-Bet and Phoebe.

We have been loyal, paying customers for 10+ years. Our dog is 14 and no longer able to walk, so we had made an unfortunate decision to put down our beautiful girl. Prairieville Animal Hospital wanted to charge $219 to euthanize her (and carry home) or nearly $300 to cremate. This is a terrible way to capitalize on someones grief! We decided instead to bring her to Dr. Breaux in Gonzales, who charged us *$35* AND allowed us to keep her in the car due to her pain. He was very dignified, caring, and our dog passed away in one of her favorite places surrounded by love. I am very disappointed and hurt by PAH, especially because a person never wants to feel taken advantage of while grieving the loss of a family member. Prairieville Animal Hospital will NEVER have my business again. Period.

Only trusting 2 vets in 30 years we were nervous when we had to make a switch. Our previous vet had always spoke highly of Dr. Lance Hidalgo so we felt he was the right choice. We were shocked at how wonderful not only Dr. Lance, but the entire staff treated our babies. Prairieville Animal Hospital also boards a limited number of pets so they get one on one attention which makes them guests - not just boarded pets. The medical care and bedside manor is outstanding!

Weve been taking our two dogs and cat here for 10+ years and absolutely love all the doctors. Our regular DVM is Dr. Goss and he is very open to any questions and happy to take the time to discuss any concerns we may have. Many have mentioned prices being high, however though the service fee for a given procedure may be higher, at many other vets anesthesia or other expenses are not quoted in the initial cost and ultimately the prices are typically the same.

When we first moved to the Prairieville area, our cat came up with unusual symptoms that 2 vets in Baton Rouge had misdiagnosed! Praise the Lord we found a vet who discovered what was wrong and treated our cat with understanding and perfect care:) We really felt like we were treated like family!

Dr. Goss and the rest of the crew at Prairieville Animal Hospital are the best. No problems with wait times for appointments and very amenable to schedule flexibility. They go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of while staying reasonable on necessary treatments/costs.

If you want quality medicine - this is the place. Other places nearby may be cheaper but you get what you pay for. This clinic is outstanding in service and they practice top notch medicine - I am a veterinarian myself and I would take my pets here.

Actually I tend to disagree. Based on other clinics in the area they are more expensive but you get what you pay for. There is definitely a reason other places are cheaper and I will never compromise on my lets care. This clinic is the best.

I would still be bringing my dog here if we hadnt moved a half hour away. They were always friendly and easy to deal with, making appointments was painless, and the prices were fair.

Dr. Hidalgo and Dr. Goss have always been very helpful, patient, and polite. Our dogs have all lived to at least 12 years old in human years.

They were very friendly, and you can trust them, but Ive been to other places that are much more affordable for the same services.

Good vet but wait times in room are killer. Waited over an hour with dogs in tiny room after arriving on time for appointment.
