I took my Staffy here because she has arthritis. Everyone there from the receptionist to the vet tech was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and kind especially Dr. Fetner. Fees were quite reasonable. It’s a great place and I can tell you I will never take my puppy anywhere else. Just great!

David Hale (Cross Creek Animal Clinic) was my vet since 2014. He retired (yay for him!) and the new owners are the Buck Lake people. I have not met Dr. Varela yet, but Dr. Anderson is warm, knowledgeable and friendly. 2 of my 3 of my pups have been treated by her so far and no issues. My only criticism is that they have raised the CCAC prices to the Buck Lake level. As the mom of 3, CCAC's lower prices were appreciated along with the care afforded by Dr. Hale. It appears that the prices are up about 30%-50%, considerable if on a fixed income, or not. I really like Dr. Anderson, so I will continue with BLAH for now. Fortunately, my pups have no medical issues, except for my senior hound who has a bunch of MCT's that need watching. (Care Credit is helpful as long as you pay in full within 6

Buck Lake rocks! Here's my story: My dog is 13. I love her to the moon. She had been doing well- still catching her ball and had spring in her step. And then, suddenly, Thursday night she was not ok. Acutely. It was scary. I stayed up all night with her. By Friday morning it was clear we must go the vet. No question. But, my regular vet was closed that Friday. Ugh. I'd heard good things about Buck Lake so I figured I'd try calling them before reaching to an emergency vet. Buck Lake was able to fit me in almost immediately. I was beyond grateful. Words cannot express. My girl was a new patient; but Buck Lake fit us in right away, within half an hour we were there. The front staff was great. The vet tech was great. The vet himself, John Fetner, was outstanding. He was thorough. He took the

Our family (humans and pets alike) love this practice. Every staff member we've interacted with is efficient, professional, and empathetic. I recently pushed my parents to bring their ailing pet to this practice because my parents' usual vet wasn't able to help and Buck Lake has always provided me exemplary service. The staff and doctors treated my parents' cat like she was their own: they got us in immediately (even though my parents' fur babies weren't officially patients yet), patiently counseled us on giving at-home fluids/meds, and answered all of our questions with genuine care. My parents made the difficult decision to put our elderly family cat to rest at Buck Lake after we realized she wouldn't be able to recover from her illness. After a peaceful goodbye, my parents received th
