User Reviews for Veterans Small Animal Hospital

Let it be known that during Katrina, this hospital was booked to FULL CAPACITY with all the clients leaving town. Over 40 dogs and 36 cats. I know, I was one of the techs who was there!!! Dr. Stone and Dr. Watts both stayed behind as well while almost every other vet clinic in the city was, let's say, not making the best of the situation at all. We lost power, no running water, no air conditioning!!! Fortunately, we had a diesle generator that powered fans and lights for us. Kennel cleaning was NON STOP. We played with the dogs in the hallways, they drank bottled water, and got looked at twice a day by the vets personally. 40 days while the rest of the city sat in the stinking bilge water, and all the other businesses around us were destroyed and looted, Veteran's stood it's ground. We gave NO ANIMALS to the SPCA, sending their owners to run up to Baton Rouge and sort through thousands of others. We Euthanised NO ANIMALS. No animals were even sick when they were returned! So... Yes, the place is run down looking. The facilities haven't been remodeled since the 50's, I think. The X-Ray machine looks like it's from a Frankenstien movie set! But they get the job done there! Oh, and this being hurricane season.... Keep in mind who stood their ground when a Catagory 5 came tearing through! Some pretty ignorant people are saying on this board that VSAH "doesn't care" or "is just in it for the money". I say to you, with all respect, SHUT your mouths, they care more than you could possibly imagine.
Pros: When the chips are down yes they are dependable.
Cons: The atmostphere is unimpressive but looks aren't everything

I recently brought both of my dogs and one cat to see Dr. Watts. He was extremely cold and rushed through the examination. Prices were extremely high and receptionist was rude. I have been a pet owner for a long time and have never been treated so coldly. Dr. Watts is in the business for the money unfortunately and not for the sake of the animals. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!
Pros: Adequate parking; hours convenient
Cons: Dirty, expensive and vet was very cold and uninformative

Dr. Homer Watts is a very caring and competent veterinarian. He is a man of senior years, but treats each of my pets like they are his only client. He is thorough and very accurate with diagnosis and treatment. He explains everything and always encourages questions and feedback. If you love your pet and want the best then you must go see Dr. Watts. You will be as impressed as I was the first time I met him. He loves people who love animals.
Pros: Good parking, polite, efficient
