Lone Peak Veterinary Hospital

Best vet around! I have taken my dogs there for over 7 years. I wouldn't use any other vet, even though it's a bit of a drive to get there. Excellent medicine, and very caring. more

We started going to Lone Peak nearly 20 years ago, and we lived nearly 20 miles away at the time. Someone had made an excellent recommendation, to go there. It was worth the drive. We have lived much closer, since that time, but would have continued to make the drive in any case. I remember one holiday season, when our veterinarian, Dr. Way, dropped everything and came down to see one of our pets, who had been having a struggle. Everything turned out fine, but it might not have, if she had not offered to come--at that time no after hours clinics were open. Long story short, what I like most is that Dr. Way looks for the positive. She attends veterinary conferences every year and keeps abreast of the times and of the latest innovations as well as new information regarding previously accepted treatment. Her focus is on how to make and keep animals healthy. She outlines all options, and leaves making the best choice under the circumstances to the pet owner. When our vet is not available, there is always another caring and conscientious veterinarian there to help. The entire staff cares, not just about the human clients, but also about their furry, or not-so-furry friends. I would wager that if someone, who was careless or uncaring somehow got on the staff in any position, they would not last a week--the differences in such a person and in the rest of the staff would be too apparent to everyone there, and that would be that. more

I've always had pets and have lived in five different States so I'm not exaggerating when I say the best in the Country. The entire staff at Lone Peak hospital are as good as it gets. I have taken three dogs there over the last 15 years and the entire staff knows my dogs and truly cares for them like they are their own. I'm writing a review specifically regarding an emergency with one of my Golden Retrievers which was involved in a hunting accident. I called the clinic from the field and Dr Way cleared her schedule to take care of my dog. I was very confident that my dog was in the best hands possible once we hit the front door of the clinic. Dr Way fixed up my Dog as good as new and explained everything she was doing in a very understandable comforting way. It was a very bad situation which thanks to Dr Way turned out okay. My families dogs are a literal part of our family and every member of the staff at Lone Peak treats them that way. I have recommended numerous friends to take their pets there, all of which are having similar feelings about how they care for their animals. If you have family members which are dogs you will love the staff at Lone Peak. They are the best! more

Our 6 year-old Goldendoodle was diagnosed in July 2011 w/ Bone Cancer by this amazing medical team. They educated us on what they were seeing in the exams, took time to consult w/ other doctors & specialists, advised us where to go for further specialized treatment for Dakoda's care and continued to provide wonderful customer service through the care of our ""first born"" as we needed various medications (even their fabulous Receptionist, Raney, bringing the medicine out to our car since I had two young children w/ me each visit). When our family took part in an American Cancer Society Walk in October LPVH offered their encouragment & support by being a vendor, donating items for the silent auction & raffle. When Dakoda passed away in November 2011 Lone Peak was there once more to send a very heartfelt card of sympathy which EACH member of their staff had wrote a special note to our family w/ some including a favorite memory of when Dakoda would visit for baths, yearly exams & then of course during the course of his cancer diagnosis and treatments. Things don't always go as we'd like (i.e. Dakoda passing), but Lone Peak gave such genuine love & care for him and even extended that encouragement & care to us as his family. Fortunately, Dr. Halter at Lone Peak had even recommended to us to get pet insurance on Dakoda since Goldendoodles are a fairly new breed...that helped us provide the best possible care of Dakoda during his fight w/ cancer in order to prevent him from being in pain & offer the best quality of life during the time he had remaining w/ us. I cannot express our family's gratitude enough for Lone Peak being apart of our life nor could I recommend them enough for all your furry family member's needs. more

DO NOT take your animal to Lone Peak Veterinary Hospital in Draper, UT. I had to take my dog there. He had a seizure that incapacitated him so much that he was not able to walk or function anymore. I had to make the difficult choice to let him go. He was a Scottish Terrier/Chihuahau (or some other small breed) mix and he had refused to eat all week long. He was small to begin with, but had lost a lot of weight this week. He was so super skinny. After having him put to sleep, I returned home. About 1/2 an hour later, Animal Control shows up at my house. They said the Vet's office told them that Cosmo was in very poor health (ya think?), was so skinny and had weird marks on him. I told them the same thing I told the Vet's office. He had refused to eat all week, was lethargic, wasn't walking the right way and today he kept falling over before having a seizure that did it for him. I said he also played bitey face with 2 other dogs and that he was relentless in his pursuit of the game. I showed them what food he ate, and had a nice conversation with them. When I called the Lone Peak Animal Hospital and told them that I was upset about the visit from animal control, they hung up on me. It's hard enough to put down an animal you love, but then to have to deal with a visit from animal control on top of that, is completely ridiculous! This is a very unprofessional office. When I walked in and told them that my dog was not doing good at all, they said they could work me into the schedule at some point. It was only after she took me to a waiting room that she realized that he was in the middle of a seizure. THEN she took him back. I had a feeling that he wouldn't make it, but I DID nothing to deserve a visit from animal control. They asked why he was wet when I brought him to the hospital and I said that he had pooped a ton in his crate that last few days (despite not eating) and I didn't want to leave my dog covered in it. This is an example of an office that clearly doesn't care or understand the needs of its clients. The need for understanding, compassion, kindness, and decency. Not every euthanasia is the result of abuse. If I wanted to just let him die and didn't care, I wouldn't have spent the money (that I didn't really have in the first place) to take him to a vet. Steer clear of this animal hospital. You can find a better office that will actually treat you with respect and dignity. more

Doctor recommended antibiotic for our new puppy to treat the bacteria in his upper respiratory track. When the receptionist lady told me I have to pay $80 for 28 250 mg pills I was surprised and asked her why is it so expensive she told me that their prices comparable with others. Later on I called a couple other vet clinics and they quoted me $50 for the exact same 28 250 mg pills. Complete rip off :-( more

I have been a customer of Lone Peak Veternary Hospital for over 5 years now. We have always had superior service and a very short wait time. Recently, when one of my dogs got sick, I had to take him to a local after hours clinic. We then went to see a neurologist. My dog was diagnosed with untreatable brain cancer. Even though we hadn't gone to Lone Peak (due to the hour when he was sick and subsequent need for a specialist) the vets at Lone Peak called me on a regular basis to see how my dog was doing. When the horrible day came to end my best friends suffering, one of the doctors came to my house to help. Words can't express the feeling of caring and professionalism I have for the doc's and staff at this clinic. They go way beyond just 'normal' vet care. Each of the staff know their customers and pets names, and give new meaning to going the extra mile. Pros: Caring, professional, and competatively priced. Cons: A bit far from my house but worth the drive. more
