Waterford Lakes Animal Hospital would like to take this opportunity to welcome you, your family, and your special family member to our website. As you continue to browse and explore our website, it is our hope that you will learn more about our Orlando animal hospital and the dedication to your family, and the quality veterinary medicine and service we provide.
Annual dental exams and cleanings are recommended to protect your pet from many health problems and help them maintain a healthy and clean mouth. Proper diet and nutrition can help your pet fight against disease, maintain a proper weight, and promote the overall well-being of your pet. Annual wellness exams evaluate your pets overall health, detect problems before they become serious, and keep them on track to live a long, healthy life. We're equipped to perform routine radiography services to identify many types of illness or injury when pets are sick or suffer a trauma.
We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 6 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. Usually, an emergency team consists of at least one veterinarian and several technicians working together to save a pet's life. Emergencies can be things such as rat bait poisoning, being hit by a car, and chocolate ingestion. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call or come in immediately.
We are an equal opportunity employer that strives to create a welcoming environment for employees and patients alike. If there is ever a career opportunity, qualified candidates will be contacted for interviews. We encourage special interests such as surgery, dentistry, dermatology, exotics, oncology, physical therapy, behavior, ophthalmology, large animals, and anything you may have a passion for.

Waterford Lakes Animal Hospital has been our vet since 2005. We have had 9 pets in total over the years and all of them have been patients there. Our experience with all of the doctors and staff has been amazing. They have shown our pets so much love and compassion each and every visit. They've been with us through the good and the bad moments of our pets lives. To all the staff we thank you from the bottom of our hearts

We have moved a lot and this old dog has seen a lot of different vets. Everyone at Waterford Lakes is friendly and thorough but also cost effective. They always follow up to ensure Mama is on track with recommendations. I also appreciate their commitment to health and safety protocols! And they are fast too :-

I am satisfied with my visit with this vet. I wouldn't say it was above and beyond but that is not required. I would say it is 5 stars especially due to the fact that my previous vet experiences with other business have not went well. I took both my Pomeranians and got them vaccinated, a full exam, and had some minor concerns I wanted to get expert input on. Overall, the doctor was able to administer all vaccines my pups needed, conducted a full exam including blood work, and most importantly took her time to address my concerns. I would recommend this place to my friends and family and to anyone reading this review looking for a reason to choose this place, let this review be it!

I like the easiness of scheduling an appointment and the fact that everything is done in time and with a great service. My cat is stressing out every time she leaves the house, though she is okay after visiting this clinic. Not like other experiences we had with her hiding for a whole rest of the day under the bed. So I appreciate that the service is done quick and at the same time nothing is missed.

Waterford Lakes Animal Hospital's whole team has been nothing but amazing towards myself and my two Shiba puppies since they were first adopted. No matter the issue big or small they are always helpful, reassuring, and considerate. I couldn't recommend Dr. Rick & this practice more if I tried. I implore everyone in need of a quality vet to consider them!

Very impressed with this place. They've always done an amazing job taking care of our dogs. I always enjoyed working with all the vets there. The new younger vet is very easy on the eyes. He's very gentle and sweet with our dogs. The nurses also give our babies extra love every time they are in. Highly recommend this clinic!

Absolutely amazing staff that work here! They are always so kind to my animals and are very professional. It's a nice well kept office, friendly and knowledgeable people, and made my dog and cats feel calm during their visits. I have made this my new permanent vet!

Dr. Rik is an amazing vet. He is very kind, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He answers all of my questions, he's very thorough, he is extremely accommodating, helpful, and he is excellent with communication. He has always promptly returned my calls when I've had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend him. It's very apparent he genuinely cares and after having a really bad experience at the last clinic I went to, I'm really happy I found him to care for my cats. The only thing I haven't loved at this clinic is it can be a little difficult to get in quickly even for something urgent.

Best vet visit ever! My dogs are very large and certainly a handful and you guys were great. And the very thorough communication directly from the vet, honestly, I am so relieved to finally find a vet and animal hospital in Florida that does it right. I moved here 20 years ago and have been so disappointed and my animals have received such poor care that I didn't know what to do. But most importantly, I felt that it was about the care and well-being of my dogs more than the care and well-being of the cash collected for their care.

We’ve had WLAH care for all our dogs. Number 4, Morty, is a challenge and they are phenomenal with him. He spent the weekend with them and the staff did their very best to make his stay great. The vets are top notch too. A well rounded place.

Been a part of the WLAH family for about 11yrs now. They have ALWAYS put our dogs health & well-being at the highest priority. The doctors & staff are amazing, the facility is clean & they’re affordable. Only place I’ll take my pets for their healthcare & boarding needs.

Have been taking my Goldendoodle for the past 4 years. Our last visit during covid was great and safe, the technician, Doctor and phone staff all very polite. The visit took less than 30 min and received email with blood work results the next day.

I have been bringing my dogs to WLAH since they opened and can't imagine going anywhere else regardless of cost.. The staff is very caring and will follow up with calls to check on your dog. The Dr's take their time and answer all of your questions. If your dog is ill or had surgery the Dr's personally call you back. For me to put my trust in the staff says alot since my dogs are part of my family

Dr. Blake is wonderful vet and always listens to our concerns on Cooper 2yrs post cancer surgery. He understands our goals if cancer reoccurrence and provides us with options for educated decision on management/end of life care.
Fortunately not at that point just yet but appreciate being prepared with our little old man!

Waterford Lakes Animal Hospital is the best veterinarian hospital I have ever entrusted the care of all of my pets. All of the doctors, technicians, staff, grooming and associates are the most caring and diligent that I have ever encountered, and I have entrusted all of my pets in their care since I moved to Orlando 16 years ago. My (almost) 12 year old dog Hailey recently crossed to The Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you so much to all of you who treated my beloved Hailey one would compassionately treat a family member, and who continue to treat all my pets as their own family members. They have also provided the same compassion and care with my family and friends. I highly recommend Waterford Lakes Animal Hospital as the best veterinarian services to entrust your pets to their expert and compassionate care.
