Prior to my wonderful experience with VCA Causeway Animal Hospital, I unfortunately experienced some very negative experiences with veterinarians in New Orleans. However, the absolute fabulous experience, care, treatment, and compassion I received from VCA Causeway through Dr. Gentinetta and Mary Anne and the other staff members made it all worthwhile! I was new to New Orleans and had not yet brought my pets to any vets within the NOLA area. However, my 8 month old puppying started vomitting profusely and after taking her to one vet who wouldn't listen to me (when I said my pup was internally bleeding), I finally called VCA Causeway (don't know why I didn't do it sooner!). Mary Anne answered the phone and listed to me and was extremely sweet; she immediately asked me to hold and put me on the phone with Dr. Gentinetta. For those of you who don't know, he is an angel--there are not many vets who will actually get on the phone with you before you pay them some $. I was already on my way to VCA Causeway but just being able to talk to Dr. G and tell him what was going on made me feel better as he agreed with me--my baby pup was bleeding internally and needed surgery right away! I brought her in and within a few hours (and several updates from Dr. G) she had her surgery. Turns out my baby needed a pyloric valve repair since she had torn it and was indeed internally bleeding! (Which means she had suffered and the other vets who had not listened to me almost killed her!). Dr. G monitored her and continued to keep me updated on her status as I was away from her for two days while she recuperated in the hospital. My baby is now doing fine and I have decided to go to veterinarian school--since Dr. G has greatly inspired me and I now see that I have the gut insticts to know what is going on with animals. If you go here, I'm sure everyone will treat you wonderfully. Ask to speak to Mary Anne when you call and ask for Dr. Gentinetta if you can; I assure you they WILL give you first class treatment and understand that you pet is like your kid.

My girlfriend and I were so impressed by the staff at the VCA Causeway location, that I decided to write a review right away! We adopted a kitten from Jefferson SPCA in New Orleans, and she needed her first check up as well as to be treated for a minor upper respiratory problem. From the moment we walked in, these people treated us so kindly and professionally that it seemed like a breeze getting in and out of there. The nurse/technician Tara, as well as Dr. Gentinetta were so gentle and caring with us and our baby Roux. We will be using this location as our permanent vet, and would recommend their services highly to any caring per owner! A+++

I've been bringing my two cats, Huck & Kinkwink, here for ten years. I've always been impressed with the care & compassion displayed by all the staff. We've weathered some serious illnesses, and yeah, it can get expensive, but the course of treatment was thoroughly explained, and I was able to make educated (and sometimes, less pricey) decisions as a result. I'm particularly impressed that the doctors follow up with calls, and are very willing to answer questions & soothe concerns. I'm a brutally hard grader, and would easily recommend this business to anyone who wants the furriest member of their family to get the best care possible!

We love Dr. Lagatutta and Dr. Peneguey!!

My husband and I have been taking our two dogs Brees and Brady to VCA Causeway since we adopted them two years ago. They have very friendly staff and great vets! On the two occasions our normal vet was not available (vacation, surgery), the other vets we saw were just as knowledgable and provided great care. Our vet will always call us after visits to check on our dogs and make sure things are going well. Animal care, just like human care, can be expensive, but any cost premium (if there even is one) at VCA is completely offset by their love and care for B&B. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.
