Client Testimonials

  • "I was very happy with my first visit, staff was amazing, clinic was very clean, I've already recommended Otter Lake Animal Care Center to other people. Thank you so much!"

  • "Everyone is so very kind and helpful. You get a full explanation of what is wrong with your pet. You and your pet get excellent care and they truly care about you and your pet. Highly recommend."

  • "Dr. Barb is the best! She cares about my dog and really knows her. Dr. Barb makes the entire appointment about her. I trust Dr. Barb!"

  • "Highly recommend Otter Lake! We’ve trusted them with our pets for many years. Recently, our dog had surgery, and they stayed late into the evening until he could come home. During this time, a liver disease was discovered, and they developed a comprehensive treatment plan for this uncommon diagnosis. Six months later, his recovery seems to be going well. We recently had a consultation with the U of M Veterinary Medical Center. After reviewing his record, the doctor's first comment was, “You have a great primary care vet - they’re doing everything right. Hold on to them!” We couldn't agree more! We are grateful for the expertise, dedication, and compassion of the staff at Otter Lake!"

  • "Great care and concern for not only your pet but you as well. They completely explain everything that is needed for your pet. They go above and beyond for your pet. This is the ONLY vet I will go to. Highly recommend!"

  • "I drive over 20 miles to go to Otter Lake Animal Care Center to have Dr. Barb Ault! She is kind and gentle with my large German shepherds. Dr. Barb takes the time to get to know their personalities and they just walk right into her lap."

  • "The affection each of these ladies gives to my girl is amazing. Dr. Scanlan is one of a kind. Gentle and calming and very time efficient! I will never go anywhere else!"

  • "Dr Scanlan is amazing. From the moment he walked into the exam room, he had a calming effect on who never once even tried to jump on him but just sat down in front of him. We have finally found our vet! The team there is also wonderful."

  • "Dr. Barb Ault is the best! She literally got down on the floor with my dog to put her at ease. My pup even took a treat from Dr. Ault, which she won't even do with me! Dr. Ault answered all my questions and provided valuable insight into what could be ailing my pup, and gave an accurate cost estimate on lab work before performing it. Dr. Scanlan called on Christmas Eve with the lab results, going above and beyond so I didn't have to worry over Christmas as to the health of my pup. This vet clinic is wonderful, the staff is wonderful, and I'm so glad I switched from Banfield! Thank you all for being so helpful and supportive (and affordable)."

  • "Dr Scanlan is the best. His love for animals is very evident. I have been bringing my dog children there since they were puppies. He doesn't gouge with unnecessary procedures. His staff is wonderful, they are very loving with the animals that come in. I highly recommend his practice."

  • "Our Vet was an absolute delight! She was personable and professional. We look forward to returning for our needs!"
