Dr. Lavallee and Andrea were absolutely amazing with our boxer Grace! They were so kind and patient with her as this was her very first vet visit. I will definitely be going back there for all of our animals needs!

My fur kids and I LOVE Dr. Lavallee and his staff!. They are kind, gentle and always have the welfare of the fur angels and their guardians as their top priority. I've been with them since the first day they came to New Prague many years ago. They're "stuck with us" always! Lol

All 3 of my cats come to NPAC for their care and have been seen by both Dr. Lavallee and Dr. Johnson, both of whom are patient and willing to explain test results without making you feel dumb. All of the staff seem to have a comforting touch too. My cats tend to cry the whole way to the clinic, and then leave purring and as happy as can be! They will not push or recommend unnecessary treatments/tests just for the money as they truly want what is best for the animal. We recently moved 30 minutes away, and are not even considering switching providers because of the wonderful care we have received in the last 2 years as patients.

We had to put our cat down and they were so gentle and kind. In such a hard time they were honest and very comforting. Would recommend them to everyone I know. We are switching our dog to go to them now!

Tianna is amazing! So loving and caring with my fur baby and super knowledgeable about any questions or concerns I come in with. I won't take my cat anywhere else!

My boyfriend and I have been 1st time dog owners for 3+ years now. we have been bringing our dog(pitbull) there since the beginning we always see doctor Lavalee, he is so great! We are always welcomed by name when we walk in. I always leave feeling great and confident that they are doing what is best for my dog. Every vet is going to be pricey but they are well worth it! They are always just a phone call away And always can get him in for an emergency visit! Even my dog loves it there!

I have been pleased with the receptionist and with Dr. Lavelle but, the Office Manager Megan (been there 13yrs she had to tell me multiple times) who gives feedback that we need to pay more attention to our dog, give him more affection, pet him all over because he was nervous when he was brought back without my bf. any dog I have ever taken to the vet are nervous then you take him away he is scared DUH!

Tomorrow I am bringing them their $7.18 picking up my 9 month old dogs records and will go somewhere else! I have never been more insulted by a vet clinic before. My dog sleeps on my pillow with me every night. All I can say is by-bye! Funny how they always have a way of twisting the negative reviews to again make it seem like the pets owner is the issue. (This has been the fourth animal we have brought there and had good luck with them until today). I will NEVER tell anyone to go here.

Middle of a snow storm a few days ago. My little puppy was injured. I live in Faribult. Vet offices were closed in town. They actually called me while in route to see if I was ok. They were so good with the puppy. The cost was very reasonable. Called today to see how everything was going. I really was very impressed with this office. I recommend this place.

We love New Prague Animal Care, they are always so kind and caring, from the phone calls to when you walk in. We take our Siberian Husky Bandit in and he gets so much attention, well loved. We've had to take him in twice for emergencies, the in house testing was great, Dr. Johnson was able to resolve the issue almost immediately. I wouldn't take him anywhere else

We have been clients of New Prague Anjmal Care for over 13 years. They have provided exceptional and compassionate care for our "pack" (6 dogs and 3 cats). As a professional dog trainer, breeder of Best in Show and Master Hunter Retrievers as well an owner of multiple kennel/ doggy daycare facilities (30+ years), I have worked with numerous veterinary clinics both in the Twin Cities and nationwide. Dr. Steve and his crew rate among the finest I have worked with.

The clinic has all of the features and veterinary medical equipment I would expect from a leading vet clinic in the metro. However, as a small town clinic they get to know their customers and patients well. This is a huge benefit. The staff excels at customer service and are very dedicated to the pets for which they care. Dr. Steve and Dr. Johnson are both highly knowledgeable and offer commen sense, pragmatic advise. We have been very pleased and highly recommend New Prague Animal Care.

Never again will i recommend a person to this place. After not 1 but 2 visits with our dog 1st for distemper and next week for rabies shots as the dog is very small he recommended 2 visits and knew were were breeding the dog they never drained the anal glands and 1 burst back again the next week spent another 120.00 and got antibotics they the clinic replace the cap with a cap that did not fit and it spilled out on car seat and in the box.

They said would give us another one but went to get a new bottle of antibotics he wanted to charge us. Smh he dr lavelle seems tonthink you and i are all stupid and dont really know how to care for our pets. 3 deceased pets 1 old and soon will have to be put down all the $$$$$$$ spent there never again he lost a paying customer that has a young dog just bred and he will not get 1 cent more for all the wellness checks for her pregnancy nor will he see 1 single pup or do any vaccination on any of them. 40.00 for a 10.00 bottle of antibiotics. Hope it was worth this review and the loss of a customer. In 2 times in 2 weeks never checks the anal glands. You call yourself a vet. See ya

My dad has taken all of his dogs there for years, and I take mine there as well. Dr. Lavalle's bedside manner is amazing, and his staff are so genuine and caring. I always have, and will continue referring people to take their pets here. They are hands down the best veterinary care in the area!
