About Best Friends Animal Clinic

Best Friends Animal Clinic, established in 2019 by Dr. Terry Ford, offers exceptional quality care for pets with a personal touch. The clinic aims to maintain the same high standards as Dr. Ford's previous practice, Maplewood Animal Hospital, while providing a more intimate experience for pet owners.

According to recent reviews, Dr. Ford and his team are described as kind, accommodating, and professional. They demonstrate genuine care and compassion for animals, taking their time to evaluate each pet's health. Pet owners have praised Dr. Ford for his thoroughness and attentiveness during appointments, with some even considering him part of their family. The clinic is highly recommended for those seeking exceptional veterinary care in a personalized setting.

Customers have highlighted the clinic's reasonable costs, with one reviewer noting the "astronomical" prices at their previous vet. The practice manager, Angie, has been praised for her warm welcome and dedication to ensuring a smooth and informative experience for new and existing patients.

I followed Dr. Turner from a previous vet office because she is THAT good. Not only is she compassionate and caring, she goes above and beyond to make sure you can afford the services if you express that the cost is a concern. While at NVC, she performed not one but two abortive spays on two cats that I own. Not our favorite but a male cat got to my girls before I could get them fixed. She got me in, she did the spays and updated me on how the girls were when I arrived back to the office. My cats are outdoor cats and one of them looked a little red around the incision and we came back and got some medicine and she healed perfectly! Dr. Turner will forever have the business… read full review

Dr Ford is definitely the BEST around!! I hated that he moved from Sulphur to Lake Charles but I would drive to Baton Rouge to use his services. He is so helpful and compassionate about his job and to the families of his fur baby patients.

we have been bringing our babies to Dr. Terry Ford for over 20 years. when he moved to Lake CharLes we decided to stick with him. why? , because he is simply the best .... he cares about our guys , he cares about us as pet parents and he has made us friends , because of his giant heart we would NEVER GO TO ANYONE ELSE. when a vet gets down and holds your babies and cries with you , you better believe he cares and has the superior knowledge to know what to help them whether to ease their pain or end it. I could write a book concerning our 20 plus years of love and care, but instead do yourself a favor and your babies go to this man.‍‍‍
