Testimonials

"Absolutely the best veterinary clinic I’ve ever been to in my sweet 15 year old dog’s life. Dr. Neuberger is compassionate, patient, kind and TRULY cares about your pet. Best veterinary experience that I’ve had in a long time. The facility is clean, bright & welcoming. Every staff member was professional & kind. Highly recommend!"
— Jessica W.Clear Lake, IA
“Dr. Neuberger began seeing our dog Lucy in 2019 because of her Addison’s Disease. Before seeing Dr. Neuberger, Lucy struggled in her day-to-day activities and was overall very lethargic. She provided care for Lucy that went unmatched to any other vets that we have seen in the past. Dr. Neuberger is so caring and compassionate! Lucy is now living her best life because of Dr. Neuberger's professional care. We cannot imagine going to any other vet!”
— Keith M.Mason City, IA
“I have been going to Dr. Neuberger for the past 5 years and have traveled with her on each of her new ventures! She and her staff are hands down the best in the area. Her kindness and passion are unequaled to anyone else. She will take time to listen to you and give you the best care your pet deserves… my dog Baxter absolutely loves seeing her and her staff. The feeling is mutual, and I give her new clinic 5 stars. So happy to have her close to us in Clear Lake.”

AAHA Accreditation

Lake Animal Clinic is proud to have achieved AAHA accreditation in early 2025.

Less than 10% of clinics in Iowa achieve this accreditation and we are so proud to have done this in only a year and half of first opening.

The Value of Accreditation:

To achieve AAHA accreditation, a veterinary hospital must meet or exceed hundreds of standards covering all aspects of veterinary care and business. These standards are continually updated to keep pace with advancements in veterinary medicine, ensuring that accredited hospitals remain at the forefront of the profession.

Veterinary hospitals must meet standards in the following categories: anesthesia, dentistry, emergency and critical care, human resources, laboratory, medical records, pain management, patient care, pharmacy, and surgery.

Our goal by becoming accredited is to ensure we are providing exceptional care to pets and pet parents. Because accreditation is voluntary, each hospital that chooses the AAHA path truly believes in the high standards upheld by the AAHA organization.
