Diamond Lake Animal Hospital

My brother takes his dog here and recommended clinic to me. Love the doc and staff. They care about my pup as much as I do. Doc is very thoughtful about test etc so do not pay for more than need to do. Reasonable fees too.

We’ve been going to DLAH since we adopted our two dogs from the Humane Societies of St. Paul and Golden Valley 4 years ago. Every staff member is very sweet to both humans and pets! When we adopted our first dog, he was extremely malnourished (he needed to gain over 15 pounds!) but wouldn’t eat because everything we tried agitated his stomach. Dr. Oakes recommended a raw diet with clear and personal instructions, and it was exactly the kind of advice we needed to get our pup back on the track to good health. He gained weight in no time and we were able to move him off of raw food and onto a premium grain-​free dry food within several months. I’m so thankful he didn’t just tell us to go on Science Diet for sensitive stomachs like so many vets around here do for the sake of money — yuck! Prices are great as well (better than a suburban vet we had to go to once due to timing). We’ll go to DLAH as long as we have dogs (which will be forever!).

I found Diamond Lake Animal Hospital when I got my cat at the Humane Society; they offered one free check up for all animals adopted from there. And they are conveniently located a few blocks from my apartment. Everyone has been so nice there. The vet and staff are always very sweet to my cat. The place is always clean and the prices are good. They are usually thorough in explaining things if necessary. I’ve been lucky that my only visits have been for regular shots and check ups, but prices for those have been reasonable. My appointments usually begin at the scheduled time. I also like the additional space at the location since they expanded.

Our family has been taking our pets to see Dr. Oakes for many years. He and his staff are as compassionate as can be! Their prices are very fair as well. We just had our dog neutured for less than $ 200. I’ll continue to visit DLAH as long as I can!

My wife and I have been taking our pets here for many years (ten or so), and we have always felt good about the care they receive from Dr. Oakes and his staff. The DLAH team remembers our pets and they have a great «kennel-​side» manner. The facility is modest but it does the job, which tells me they’re putting their emphasis on the animals and not the owners.
