On Easter Sunday I called Cheat Lake Animal Hospital because my dog was having a seizure & told them I didn't have the money on that day, but would have it Friday. I was told to get online & fill out an application for pet insurance. Keep in mind that they had seen my dog 1 other time & were paid in full on that day. My husband & I had to sit with our dog while she had seizures for 2 1/2 hours until she finally died, she was 3 1/2 years old. We could not get the insurance so therefore we had to watch her die. It is all about money not helping a poor suffering animal. I have talked to many people & they are telling me similar stories. I must say the 1st time I went there the Dr. & staff were very nice. I will NEVER use them again & will continue to pass the word. They owe me a dog as far as I'm concerned, because they killed her by not treating her. I have posted on all dog sites & on Facebook regarding this.

We picked Cheat Lake Animal Hospital because of their great reviews on Google and because of their 24/7 hour emergency care. When we brought my dog in as a puppy they offered us a puppy plan for a reasonable price. It covered three appointments and all the shots and medication he needed. A year later there came a time when we had to use their emergency care. They took our dog right in and gave him the greatest of care. I loved that they had all my dog's information already on file so they could get to his needs quicker. They also didn't over charge us for the emergency care that was given. Thankfully the incident was not serious, but the staff and the vet on call were so informative and helpful. Later we went back to have our dog neutered and they did a fantastic job. The surgery was under $200 and if my dog had any problems it gave me peace of mind that they were there 24/7. I'm a teacher and my fiancé is a nursing student so our budget is smaller than most. We always appreciated the reasonable costs for their services. I highly recommend Cheat Lake Animal Hospital. I will be taking my dog there for many years to come.

I am actually very surprised by all of these good reviews. I brought my cat to Cheat Lake Animal Hospital several times, thinking that it was the best in the area. The waiting area is kind of luxurious, for a vet. However, after giving them a few tries, I decided to bring my cat (and new puppy) to Paw Prints. Every time I went to Cheat Lake I waited 1 hour +, despite having made the appointment weeks in advance. The techs and vets were quick and not concerned. I often came with several questions to ask and each time they quickly answered, or more commonly, left the room so quickly I could not ask. After waiting 60-90 minutes, I'd expect them to spend more than 3 minutes with me, especially when I am paying them hundreds of dollars (not an exaggeration). I made the switch to Paw Prints (on the Mile Ground) when I reluctantly called to make an appointment at Cheat Lake and their prices were substantially higher than Paw Prints. I brought my cat to Paw Prints the same day I called to make an appointment, we waited in the waiting room for five minutes, then the Vet spent almost over a half hour with us answering all of our questions and showing us how to administer our cat's medication. Paw Prints isn't fancy like Cheat Lake, but I'm more concerned about my pet's wellbeing than the architecture of a building. SWITCHING TO PAW PRINTS WAS THE BEST CHOICE I HAVE MADE AS A PET OWNER.

Avoid this place if you love your pet. Two vets misdiagnosed my dog's illness, and within days, she was dead. You've been warned.

This is the best vet I have ever been to! They are extremely kind, generous, and knowledgeable people and they will do anything for you and your pets! Dr. Evans was wonderful! He took excellent care of my cat both in and out of surgery, and he took care of all of my husband and my questions and worries. The entire staff is wonderful and definitely the good recognition and a raise if you ask me! I couldn't be happier with them!
