  I absolutely love this place — Dr. Yzaguirre, Mark, and Donna are incredible. The service is amazing; everyone is so friendly and genuinely cares about your pets. If I weren’t moving out of state, I would take every pet of mine to VCA Lakewood for the rest of my life. And even now that I’m moving away, I’m genuinely considering driving 30 hours round-trip once or twice a year just for my cats to keep being treated here. We will miss this place so much.

  Dr. Yzaguirre cares for both my dog and cat. He recently saw my cat for what ended up being quite an extensive dental procedure. Dr. Yzaguirre is always calm and attentive to my pets’ needs. The care from this clinic feels very personalized, and since my pets are my world, I very much appreciate that! The other staff members are also great. We see them quite often since my dog will ONLY let their vet techs cut his nails. Definitely recommend this practice!

  Dr. Kirkpatrick is truly the best. He has taken such great care of our babies. He is thorough, compassionate, empathetic, and patient. He explains all of the options and scenarios available to help assist you with shared decision making. He is an amazing person and an amazing Vet.

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Dunn is the kind of vet you hope every pet gets lucky enough to have. What sets Dr. Dunn apart isn’t just his knowledge — it’s that he actually follows through. When Poppy has had smaller issues, he checks back in on his own, without me having to chase anyone down. That kind of unprompted follow-up is rare and means everything when you’re a worried pet owner. When Poppy had a serious situation that landed her at the emergency hospital over the weekend, Dr. Dunn didn’t disappear until Monday. He coordinated directly with the ER team and kept me informed every step of the way — breaking down what was happening in plain language so I never felt lost or alone in the process. Having him in my corner during one of the most stressful experiences I’ve had as a pet owner made a real difference. His medical expertise is evident, but what makes him exceptional is that he clearly sees Poppy as a patient who matters — not just a chart to be handled and moved along. If you want a vet who is genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, Dr. Dunn at VCA Lakewood is the one.
