I can not say enough about this place. We have been so appreciative of them since we started going here. This week our little 16 year old fur baby Sophie was at the end of life. Unfortunately, this was happening while my wife was flying back from a business trip. The crew of Techs and Veterinarians set up a room for me and Sophie, and were able to make her comfortable and extend her life for 3 hours, while my Wife made it back into town, so she could be there with us to say goodbye. I know in my heart, that Sophie knew she was there at the end. I will forever be grateful for them. Thank you, Sand Lake Animal Clinic!

This place is amazing! They took care of our sick kitty for years and we always had the best experience and they treated her with the greatest care. We have recently moved to Las Vegas and are quickly learning just how good we had it at Sand Lake Animal Clinic because the care and service that we have received at several different clinics here does not even come close to comparing. We are very particular about our pets and consider them family. I 100% recommend taking your furry family members to Sand Lake Animal Clinic.

Great experience! They were able to take my dog last minute on a Friday afternoon. I called ahead, waited in the car for about 5 minutes, and was then called in and led straight to a room. The vet techs were so friendly and Dr. McKinnerney was very thorough and took the time to explain everything to me. I'd recommend them to anyone!
