“This morning my dog started limping and was having trouble bearing weight. I saw this urgent care when looking for emergency vets online. I was taken straight back and Dr. Clement did a thorough musculoskeletal exam and discovered my dog had a soft tissue injury to his ankle. She prescribed medications they had there for pain and inflammation. She was thorough and all the staff was nice! The office was very clean. They emailed my discharge instructions and her exam note immediately after. Much faster and less expensive than an ER visit! Glad there’s an urgent care for pets in metairie and highly recommend!”

“I fell down the Google diagnosis rabbit hole when my cat was acting weird so my husband and I brought him here around 9pm. Nighttime vet visits are never fun, but we were blown away by the entire experience! The front desk/tech (ahh I was too freaked out to retain her name—Molly?) was SO genuine and kind! As was Dr. Clement!! They were both quick, gentle, and compassionate. It’s apparent these people truly love animals. The level of service they provide is exceptional. <3”

“Brought my 4 month old puppy in and the entire team was incredibly kind and attentive from the moment we arrived. What really stood out was the follow up call the next morning to check on how she was doing. So grateful for the care she received and would absolutely recommend this vet to anyone looking for a compassionate and thorough team!!!”

“Overall excellent experience at LocalVet! I was greeted by a warm and friendly staff member, and the facility was very clean. Plenty of parking. The wait time was minimal. Al of the staff members were professional and caring towards my Yorkie, answered all of my questions, and even did a free follow-up visit the next day. I highly recommend, and will be visiting them again as needed!”
