Louisiana:

Elisabeth Schmidt
All Pets Hospital
8660 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge, LA
225-767-2462

Comments: Dr. Schmidt really loves animals. During our
first visit to the clinic she gave Toby a very thorough examination.
She and her assistant got down on the floor with him to conduct the
exam. She was a very enthusiastic recipient of Basset kisses and
responded with a few of her own. We are so glad to have found her!

Denham Springs Animal Hospital
Dr. Bobby D. Welch
Dr. Curt Ritchie
8073 Florida Boulevard
Denham Springs, La. 70726

Comments: I would like to nominate two outstanding and exceptional veterinarians in the Denham Springs area. Both are extremely knowledgeable and really are well-informed. Their goal is to provide the best possible care for your
animal and enjoy every minute of it while, at the same time, make you happy
as well. I own three Bassets and they have been under their care since they
were six weeks old. I would recommend them to anyone.

Azalea Lake Veterinary Clinic
Dr. Suzanne Boucher
Dr. Curt Ritchie
16313 Jefferson Highway
Baton Rouge, La.
225-755-3838

Dr. Boucher is great! She talks to each animal she treats as though they were human, and she always makes the tails wag on our three! She's very familiar with the basset breed, which makes it easy for me to trust her with my babies. She also listens to the people who come to her, she realizes that the people who live with her patients are the ones who know them best and she respects what we say about our pets! Dr. Boucher is a wonderful find for us after a bad experience and I highly recommend her to anyone with a basset!
