Southeast Animal Clinic

I rescue animals so I’ve been to plenty of vets and Dr. Harwell is the best out there. I’ve been taking my own pets and my rescued pets to him since I’ve moved to the area five years ago, but I wished I had known him longer than that. The first couple of years I felt the need to see other vets at times for other opinions, but Dr. Harwell’s diagnoses were so consistently accurate in every case that I fully trust him now. I truly feel blessed knowing his clinic is in my area.

A wonderful and helpful animal clinic that is a good price range and extremely helpful, they make sure to address your concerns instead of just trying to get you out the door. While you cannot walk in with your pet inside the clinic due to the pandemic, they make sure to send you pictures of everything they do with your pet such as give medicine and weight them. He will also step out and discuss your pet's levels, what may be wrong and how to fix it.nnI must have had about a million questions and he took the time to answer each one of them! His delightfully helpful nurse also offered many helpful tips on how to get my bird to eat more vegetables and gave me many helpful pamphlets to ensure my bird lives a healthy long life! Even after the visit, I also got a call back a few days later just so they could check up on my pet's health and if the medicine had worked!!! Very caringnnI will definitely be back if I have any other concerns with my pet bird and have made sure to recommend Dr. Harwell's clinic to all of my friends!

I called to get an appointment for my sick lovebird the lady told me the clinic was closed on November 2 but later said she was going to call Dr. Harwell and was going to call back. They gave me an appointment on the day they were closed I can clearly see the love they have for animals. Well to make the story short my sick lovebird was taken into the clinic to test him, later Dr. Harwell came out and explain everything gave me medicine, and send me pictures of the correct way to give my little sick birdie his medicine. He also gave me some important papers of how sunlight is beneficial to birds, and the proper diet for birds. I am very thankful for the super great treatment and service they provided. Dr. Harwell, and his assistant deserve more than 5 stars ⭐ufe0f, I will never forget what they did for my birdie Andy. Millions of thanks!!

My name is Alicia Anthony. I live in Lake Charles, LA where Hurricane Laura hit. I had to send my mother’s Shih Tzu, Cash to Houston along with our little dog Bella which is a Lassa Poo. The little one’s could not take the heat here with no A/C. Well, Cash got very sick so my former husband took him to the emergency hospital. They said his kidney’s were failing and told us it would cost $2k for hIm to stay there and be MONITORED. I almost stroked! I asked him to let me talk with them, so I talk to the receptionist Barbara. I explained our situation and said I didn’t have that kind of money, was there some way to reduce the cost and she said, we are a corporation and that is our price. I said surely you can talk with someone above at that level to help us. Then she said there is no one to talk to. I said to her, you just told me you were a corporation. So, my former husband took Cash and I was going to come get him(mind you, Cash is extremely sick), I am in Lake Charles dealing with a lot of damage and debris to my home and my mom’s home. They didn’t even X-ray him. Then when they took him to my daughter’s home he started urinating blood. So they rushed him back there, THEN they said $2k a NIGHT. Remember she told me $2k for a week.nSo they left him, they didn’t feel they had a choice. So my former husband Picked him up the next morning, took him to a vet (which by the way they said to do, but he is still VERY SICK). The other vet said his kidney’s were NOT failing, they didn’t read the report correctly. He had also been bit by another dog. This EXPENSIVE HOSPITAL did NOT even X-RAY him.nHe is coming home in a few days and I will take him to Denham Springs where my brother is staying. But we needed financial help because of our situation in Lake Charles, but they didn’t give a damn about that or give a damn about Cash.nSO IF I WERE YOU AND YOU ARE READING, THIS DO NOT TAKE YOUR BELOVED PETS TO THIS PLACE. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR PET.nAlicia AnthonynLake Charles, LA

They only had curbside service due to pandemic. This worried us at first. They took our Blue front Amazon in her cage from the car. We were not allowed to leave our car and enter the building. This was our first time visiting Dr. Harwell. After examining our baby Dr.Harwell came out to our car and let us know all that he had found in our birds exam. All questions were asked and answered. Everything was explained very well. They seemed very caring and knowledgeable. Great vet, will definitely be back! Wish he wasn't retiring!!
