Lawrence Douglas DVM

Dr. Lawrence is our Vet’s on call emergency Vet. We have had him treat colic several time in the past. He shows up quickly and he has a good bed side manner.

There are days when owning a horse is heartbreaking. We had one of those days. Our 26 year old mare went down early in the morning, and despite our best efforts, was just too old and too tired to carry on.
We called several vet offices, most were either not open, or didn’t service our area, one even only by a couple of miles refused to come out .
We called Dr. Doug Lawrence, who immediately struck me as being a very kind, and professional person over the phone. It was a cold, rainy day, and being used to how most large animal vets work, I expected a wait of a few hours… we didn’t have to wait. He was to our place promptly, and set about seeing to our mare quickly.
Knowing in our hearts that her time had come, but still not really wanting to hear it at that second, Dr. Lawrence gave us the option to pull out all the stops for our old girl. He also very quietly discussed with us, what we all knew was the right thing to do. We said our Goodbyes, and he put her down, quickly, and gently.
His soft-​spokeness, and reassurance that we had in fact, done the right thing, meant worlds to us.
This is a very kind person, very caring. He even made the phone call and arranged for her pick up, from our place. This is a very difficult task for owners of beloved animals. I so appreciated that he stepped in and did this, for us, to lessen our burden.
In this day of money driven, ego centric veterinary practitioners, it was a blessing and a relief to come across this vet. I hope in the future the next time we see him, will be for a happier reason. He was a godsend, during a very difficult day. Thank you Dr. Lawrence.
I would recommend him, to anyone, anytime.
