Lakehills Vet Animal Health

SO, we have been using Lakehills Animal Health for about 6 years now. It started off with an actual emergency with one of our 5 dogs and we've been using them exclusively since that time. We checked around with pricing, and they're the lowest. We checked on the Vet's credentials, and she's more than qualified to be a Veterinarian with many years of experience. So, yes, that is a check in the "Qualified" column. At first I was a little curious as to why there is an exam for each and every visit, then I thought a little bit and don't recall going to any other Doctors without them doing the initial vitals and pre-exam to make sure everything is ok with me before actually seeing the Doctor. SO, this just means they are really thorough...which is a good thing. Secondly, I've never gotten any new medicines from my Doctor without scheduling an appointment/ exam.. and anyone that has.... well it's actually stupid for a Doctor to prescribe any new medications for humans or animals without knowing their patient is in good health and can handle the medications that will be possibly prescribed. We are very proactive when it comes to our pets health and don't usually wait until they are barely breathing or have gone past the point of being treated before getting them to the Doctor....which is what some people do and then blame the Doctor for not being a miracle worker...guess what....sometimes it's not the Doctors fault for procrastinating or taking care of your pets when it's convenient. Thirdly, in the last 6 years Dr. Fuess has helped us coordinate with Specialists and that's not the normal deal with most Doctors. Another thing, in the same amount of years I've seen a few different people at the front desk at Lakehills Animal Health and while some were already trained, some were still in training. Guess what.... NONE of US were born knowing everything.... so get off your high horse and come back down to reality! I was in the military for 22 years and never did got a new Soldier that was perfectly trained or proficient when they arrived at my door... So, if you want an excellent Doctor/ Veterinarian, who really cares for animals more than most Vet's I've encountered..... who is reasonably priced and likes to make sure that you have a great life with your pets/extended family...then give them a try. Again, don't wait till the last minute to take care of your pets... .plan ahead and be responsible pet owners. You'll be glad you did and have a great relationship with your pets and Lakehills Animal Health.

Dr. Fuess is absolutely wonderful! She is smart, caring, compassionate and takes amazing care of my three pups. I was a vet tech for 6 years and had the pleasure of working with Dr. Fuess during a few of those years. I've worked with many vets some good ones and some not so good ones. Dr. Fuess is hands down my favorite vet to have worked for not only because of her love of animals but because I know she's going to recommend the absolute best care for my dogs and take care of them as if they were her own. As long as she's practicing veterinary medicine, I will be taking my dogs to her even if I have to drive 45 mins from San Antonio to do so because I know how she practices medicine and know how she continues to stay educated and aware of updated veterinary practices and recommendations. I actually live in North Carolina now but when I come home to visit family, I bring my dogs in for their yearly exam with Dr. Fuess. I've tried to find good veterinary care in Las Vegas, Virginia and North Carolina and I have yet to find anyone that compares to her. Other vets usually charge so much more in veterinary fees and don't give my dogs half the amount of attention and care that I know my dogs get with Dr. Fuess. She is truly a gem.

Wonderful vet and caring staff. I moved to Lakehills in 2017. My now husband and I have 3 small dogs. She knows us and them by sight. They have worked us in on multiple occasions with the best care and kindest mannerisms I could ever ask for. Our dogs were not country dogs and had to learn some hard lessons (as did their parents). This vet is everything I could hope for. She and her staff have calmed my fears, stayed late, opened early, tried to refuse payment when it was a quick exam (me being panicky, when nothing was actually wrong. I could never put a price on the soundness of mind they give us). They have amazing hours for the middle of nowhere and always have their patients well fair in first in their practice and hearts. I could go on and on. It shocks me that their are bad reviews. I have had nothing but amazing experiences with the entire staff.
