Dr. Heather of Blue Lake Animal Hospital is absolutely the best vet I’ve ever taken my animals to, in a lifetime of owning animals. She’s kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable.

I have a small breed dog pregnant with a singleton puppy and at the vet yesterday morning we were faced with a tough decision. Being a hour+ away and the probability of her going into labor last night if deciding to wait until this morning to do the procedure, we decided based of reverse pg and ultrasound and x-ray that puppy was ready to come out even though pg still at a 5.4ngl. X-ray showed toe bones supporting sufficient development to live, ultrasound showed puppy was still alive and healthy not under any stress. Singleton pups cause momma dogs labor symptoms to vary vs a whole gut full of pups. Dr. Heather at Blue Lake Animal Hospital was very mindful of all possible factors and did a wonderful job making sure we left home with a healthy pup and momma without risking going to labor last night waiting on a c section this morning… very blessed to have a reproduction vet competent, mindful and willing to perform with excellence no matter the circumstances. I will forever recommend Dr. Heather and Blue Lake Animal Hospital. Sky’s been bred a couple times prior without any pups it was very important to me by any means necessary to make sure this pup made it. It’s been a long couple years trying to get a puppy off sky and when I found out a week or so ago she was only having one it was very important the survival of this puppy.. I would trust Dr. Heather and Blue Lake Animal Hospital 10 out of 10 times in this situation.

🌟 I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Heather and her amazing staff! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. They are incredibly compassionate and truly take the time to listen to both you and your pet.

Not only is the care top-notch, but the prices are also very reasonable! It’s refreshing to find a vet that prioritizes the well-being of the animals without breaking the bank.

If you’re looking for a vet who genuinely cares, look no further. Highly recommend! 🐾💖

The front office staff are always friendly and courteous. I love all 3 veterinarians! They are very knowledgeable and explain everything really well. It’s obvious they truly care about the health of each animal they see. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else!!

Amazing vet with amazing staff. My dog, Zeus, is very anxious and very nervous at the vet, and I can honestly say this was the best experience he has ever had. Very friendly staff that was thoughtful and knowledgeable and very careful with Zeus. Would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about this animal hospital and how much I appreciate them and am grateful to have found them.

I’ll summarize for those that want quick info at a glance:
– Quick and compassionate response to our pet emergency.
– The vibe there is warm and caring.
– They saved my pet’s life.
– I was actually shell-shocked at how REASONABLE the bill was. Great example of “trust over transactions”.

Our experience:
I called there with an emergency for one of our pocket pets and Carissa was so caring and helpful and wonderful to talk to. They not only got us in the very next morning, but Dr. Heather came in on her day off to help our pet. As soon as we walked in, you could tell the entire staff there just loves animals, no matter how tiny. I felt good leaving our little ratty girls there to get treatment. Dr. Heather is so caring and dedicated. She was also very knowledgeable and validating. We were able to get x-rays done to confirm and see the issues that were present, and get medicine for our pet, as well as clear instructions. We also discovered that they even do surgeries for your pocket pets if needed! How awesome is that?!

Before leaving, I made sure that I signed up our beloved pocket pets to be patients there as there’s obviously no need to ever take them anywhere else. This was next level care and service for our tiny little loved pet. By the way, our little ratty girl is doing SO MUCH BETTER thanks to you and your team! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Best vets I’ve ever been to, always prioritizing the animals. I take my 3 cats there and am always happy with the care they receive. I adore Dr. Heather who sees my bearded dragons and collared lizards. Good exotic vets are hard to find and I am thankful beyond words for Dr. Heather. She always squeezes us in when I express it is urgent. I recently have been in a lot with my 1.5 yr old bearded dragon for treatment for bacteria from recalled produce she consumed. Dr. Heather graciously squeezed us in multiple times with short notice to help me with the antibiotic injections and getting my 4 month old dragon on meds. It is obvious they care more for the animals than other vets I’ve seen and if you express it is serious they prioritize seeing your animal. The communication is always excellent and Dr. Heather always makes time to answer my many questions, even when she’s very busy I always get a call back and that is beyond valuable to me. I just can’t say enough good things about Blue Lake and Dr. Heather!

We moved to the area back in December of this year, and one of the main concerns was trying to find a veterinarian that we could trust with all of our fur babies. Thank God for Blue Lake Animal Hospital because they have been nothing short of amazing!!! We appreciate everything you do for our babies

I highly recommend this place to anybody that’s thinking about changing veterinarians

My dog, Oreo, has gone to Blue Lake (formerly South Crossings) since she was a puppy over 15 years ago. We have always received excellent care from knowledgeable professionals. During this difficult time, as she nears the end of her life, Dr. Will is super supportive and helpful. It’s going to be sad when we have to say goodbye to Oreo, but I know that Dr. Will’s compassion and understanding will be extremely helpful.

I have been going to Blue Lake for about a year and a half and love the people there from the Dr. S. to the front desk. They are always very pleasant and very kind to my fur babies. I started raising Maine coons and a lot of the staff loves to come see them. I also have several rescues that are treated with the same kindness. Sometimes it seems like the prices are a little high but I have nothing to compare it to and everything has went up so…
Overall I’m glad they are the ones caring for my fur babies.

Doctor Will and his wife are outstanding with their level of knowledge and ability to explain things. Our older doggo had a bout with a bowel disease that came around after the recent uptick in parvo over the last couple years. She was potentially looking at having to be put down, but Doctor Will managed to save my fiancé and my best friend and give her a great outlook at a few more great years with us. I cannot recommend this place enough! Everybody here is outstanding from start to finish for every visit. Thank you to all the staff!

My poor handsome cat was struck by a car, and was seriously injured. I went right into blue lake and I was instantly seen, and they helped my poor boy be put to rest. Amazing staff, you can tell they are passionate about the animals being brought in, and the owners themselves. I would recommend 10/10 for sure.

My Cavalier King Charles spaniel was having an issue with his tooth, he is 10 and has mitral valve disease so there is a risk of putting him under with sedation, Dr. Heather recommended an alternative that didn’t need sedation. She worked with him and was patient as it took more than 1 treatment. Dr. Will and Dr Heather are genuinely concerned and want to do what is best for your animals, they are open and knowledgeable to alternative treatments, that is important to me. The staff is so friendly and helpful. I love Blue Lake Animal Hospital, and so do my animals. This is a picture of our Ozzie so relaxed on our way home from seeing Dr. Heather.

This place is amazing. We go to the male vet- he’s so informative and through. The entire staff is welcoming and warm. The prices are so much more affordable than our last vet. I was able to get a walk in appt with five minutes notice to them, for a bird euthanasia . If that’s not outstanding compassion, I don’t know what is! We now have a Yorkie puppy and they will be doing a FULL DNA panel to check medical and genealogy . He just needs to get bigger to get some blood. Good Drs. Great service, great prices! Outstanding practice! They even gave him pain meds for his shots (because he’s a crybaby a little) Five Stars!

They took in my bearded dragon despite her not being a client there previously and got her in quickly with their “pocket pets” program. They sent me a text telling me her diagnosis and were open to answering any questions that I had. They were very nice and my beardie didn’t appear to be stressed at all when I picked her up. They didn’t charge a lot either! I’m glad I found this vet for my exotics, I will be recommending this place to all of my friends.

They’ve been a crucial part of developing a treatment plan for our rescue terrier. He came to us with a bad case of heartworm almost 2 years ago and no one know what to expect for his quality of life. Happy to report that he’s made an incredible recovery and is living a great life. He’s needed a lot of visits early on and their prices feel very fair. Love the staff and our vet.

I brought my hedgehog Kingsley here because he’s 3 and lost one of his adult teeth, and wanted to make sure there was no trauma or dental issues. The staff is lovely, they’re so kind and welcoming, and the doctors are very knowledgable and great at communicating at how they’re doing and the results of the visit. I will definitely be here again if Kingsley needs any treatment. Thank you so much for everything you do!

Switched to Blue Lake recently. I called on Tuesday to try and get our dog seen soon due to excessive itching, they were able to have him seen the next day! Highly impressed by Dr. Will. Thorough explanation of treatment and answered all my questions without feeling rushed. Happy doggo and happy owners!

Thank you for making Truffles’ first vet visit such a positive experience. Everyone in the office is friendly and Dr. Heather is great. Truffles would like you to know that he makes no apologies for holding Dr. Heather hostage for extra cuddles after his exam.

Our Olive broke her leg in a freak accident playing with Mama Luci. Her care started out at the emergency hospital, but we asked Dr. Will and the staff at Blue Lake Animal to take over her continued care. We have been thrilled with the care and the advice in taking care of her. A common sense approach and the prices are the most reasonable I have found for great veterinary services. We drive 45 min. to see Dr. Will and the team for their services. They also cared for Luci’s litter of 9 pups! It has been a great, personable experience and I will not take my pets anywhere else.

Excellent first time experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Dr Heather treated my cat for allergies in her ear which was inflamed with a bacterial infection. She took time to explain to me what caused it, gave her meds to take at home, and coated her inner ear to help with the irritation. I had been to another vet who barely looked at her & treated her without explanation in less that two minutes and walked out the door. My kitty did not get better and I felt she needed someone who would take some time to understand the issues, which were resolved at Blue Lake. I was a very happy client when I left. Today my cat is feeling much better and more herself. I am so grateful for Blue Lake Animal Hospital. They are the best!

My pet got attacked and needed help right away – Blue Lake fit us in, performed surgery and Dr. Will kept me apprised the whole time. When there were complications, they again fit us in right away and helped. Great vet office.

T. B.

We live in Lansing and travel to the clinic for all of our dogs. Dr. Heather is so knowledgeable and actually gave us a more precise date on when our dog should have a c-section. If we would have gone off the previous advice from a different vet we were given, the puppies more than likely would be around 5 days early ( if you are a breeder you know there is a slim chance they would survive). All of the office staff are very polite and they all worked together to deliver our last litter of puppies. What a team❤️ Highly recommend!!!

We love Blue Lake! We adopted Monroe as a rescue and he came to us with a long list of health issues including heartworm, heart disease, and fluid in his lungs. They worked with us over a few months to get Monroe on the right medications for his heart and always called to check up on him. They did the same thing with his anxiety and found the perfect medicine and dosing for him. The front desk team is easy to work with and get in touch with, and Dr Will and team are patient and thorough with Monroe every visit.

I have been taking my precious animals here for years. I would not go anywhere else. The care that our animals have received is the BEST. The staff is wonderful and caring, and the best part is that you know that they are interested in and really care about you and your furry loved friend.

Our Maggie received the finest care, and when it was time to let Maggie go to the other side, it was done with dignity and grace and love. I knew that the staff loved my dog and my crabby cat Bunny. Always with the utmost respect and love and the knowledge that is passed down to you as a pet owner is so valuable. When Maggie had to go to MSU, I was supported, and phone calls were made to me to see how “I” was doing, not just my great pal Maggie.

B. M.

This place has always been there for us when we needed them most. With our Goldens and their issues – whether it is skin and digestive issues or that of sudden illness, they have taught us so much and helped us to give our dogs a much better quality of life. We could not be happier with the care and concern they have shown us and our pets.

My cat was losing the ability to use his hips. He hobbled and dragged his hind legs. Cosequin did nothing to help, and I thought I would have to put him down. I took him here, and it took 3 treatments of acupuncture for him to heal. He is now able to walk, jump up on the couch and go up and down stairs normally. I would do the acupuncture treatments again in a heartbeat. If my cat has trouble again, I will definitely return
